"The value of a school should be in the meeting of students. The art school should be the life-centre of a city. Ideas should radiate from it.
I can see such a school as a vital power; stimulating without and within. Everyone would know of its existence, would feel its hand in all affairs.
I can hear the song, the humour, of such a school, putting its vitality into play at moments of play, and having its say in every serious matter of life.
Such a school can only develop through the will of the students. Some such thing happened in Greece. It only lasted for a short time, but long enough to stock the world with beauty and knowledge which is fresh to this day".
- Robert Henri, The Art Spirit, 1923.
