quote:
It was Robert Maynard Hutchins that said that. Who he? Head of University of Chicago at the time The quote is also attributed, like so many other "bon mots," to Mark Twain. I heard it from Woody Allen, although he may have been channeling either Hutchins or Twain, or both. Robert Hutchins is most famous for instituting the "Great Books of the Western World" series, in collaboration with Mortimer Adler. You remember the "Great Books of the Western World," subscribed to by countless middle class families in the '50s, who placed them conspicuously on book shelves and fireplace mantles in their homes, where they remained unread and gathering dust for years.
