"It is in
the highest degree improbable that the reforms I propose
will ever be carried into effect. Neither the parents, nor
the training colleges, nor the examination boards, nor the
boards of governors, nor the Ministry of Education would
countenance them for a moment. For they amount to this: that
if we are to produce a society of educated people, fitted to
preserve their intellectual freedom amid the complex
pressures of our modern society, we must turn back the wheel
of progress some four or five hundred years, to the point at
which education began to lose sight of its true object,
towards the end of the Middle Ages." Dorothy Sayer, Oxford, 1947
