all American Colleges by mail, aeronautic engineering, free of charge, the Deans of the different Colleges acted like a lot of Donkeys about it. They just brayed with hilarity. Thought I was telling them a funny joke. The idea of my wanting to teach the students how to build airliners when there were no airliners was just too amusing for anything. Their greatest professors proved mathematically that it could not be done.
 But even mathematicians have their good qualities and after I built and flew the first airliner from Milwaukee to Washington and back again the same professors proved that it could be done.
 Wonderful place to get an education, isn’t it? They prove a thing can’t be done until it is done and then they prove that it can be done — all by their peculiar theories.
 They also proved in those queer places that Radio, Electricity, Telephones and Auto­mobiles were impossible until they were produced and operated, then they proved that they were possible.
 Is it any wonder that people who go to college get daffy and learn to prove that something is beth impossible and possible.
 They prove that which is, is that which ain’t.
 What do they teach a credulous student at College for Economics?
 Uneconomics.
 Everything they teach you is upside down, I never knew a college professor that could give a true definition of the word Economics.
 We send men in overalls to teach college professors the definition of Economics, but they almost have to knock their blocks off to do it.
 What do they know about the foundation of Physics?
 Nothing.
 There is not a college professor in the world today that can tell you the cause of the movement of matter unless he has read that little brown book of mine called CREATION.
 They say that nobody knows the cause of the movement of matter. Nobody ever would know if the world waited for the colleges to explain it.
 What do they know about history?
 Just an outline.
 I have investigated a number of histories during my life and found that seventy-five percent of the contents of all histories are downright lies or misrepresentation of facts.
 What do they know about Law? Only what the financier teaches them.
 The financier’s Law is based upon the theory that it is right to steal from the people what they produce through the Interest Collection Swindle. Their Law is like their mathematics, they can prove anything they want to prove with it.
 What do they know about mechanics?
 They teach kindergarten mechanics, that’s all.
 If I tried to make those collegians understand something about real mechanics they would not know what I was talking about.
 They would hee haw worse than when I offered to educate them in aeronautic engi-
