without a compass......................
Never to examine, never to question: thus youth was taught at Cambridge. Many in the universities, wrote Bacon, "learn nothing there but to believe." From the sea of knowledge rose the classic Pillars of Hercules, boundary beyond which man durst not venture. To those with ambition to pass the Pillars—in Bacon's phrase to sail plus ultra—the University offered no compass.

Lots of fun to be had reading all the comments (including a phrase likely no one has ever said). Enjoy.
