"We know that there is something BIG here. If only we can get it out to
the world."--Caroline A. Hardwick (Philosophic Diploma), Instructor in
Reading and Speaking, Wellesley College.
"At no other institution is it possible to secure the training one
secures at the School of Expression. It is far broader than a mere
training for speaking. It is a fundamental training for life."--Florence
E. Lutz (Philosophic Diploma), Instructor in Pantomime, New York City.
"The School of Expression taught me how to LIVE. I think its training of
the personality is its greatest work."--F. M. Sargent (Dramatic Artist's
Diploma).
"I feel deeply indebted to the School for some of the best and most
lasting inspiration I have received for my own work as a teacher of my
fellow-men."--Luella Clay Carson, Pres. of Mills College.
"The success I have attained in my profession as a reader, I owe
directly to the advanced methods of the School of Expression."--Caroline
Foye Flanders (Artistic Diploma), Public Reader, Manchester, N. H.
"The School of Expression of Boston is the most thorough and best in the
country. It is different from all other schools. I wish I could talk to
any who intend taking a course of study.--I would say, Go to the School
of Expression and if there is anything in you, they will bring it out;
they will teach you to know yourself; they will show you what you are in
comparison with what you may become, and they will begin with the cause
and start from the bottom."--Hamilton Colman, Member Richard Mansfield
Co.
"When I was your student you held before me intellectual and ethical
ideals which I am still trying to realize."--Charles L. White, D.D.,
Ex-President Colby College.
"The same principles of education which have installed manual training
in public schools are even more applicable to the training of men's
souls to rational self-expression. Dr. Curry will some day be recognized
to have been an educational philosopher for having championed principles
no less true of the spoken word than of every form of creative
self-expression."--Dean Shailer Mathews, University of Chicago.
"The whole world ought to learn about the School of Expression and your
discoveries."--Rev. J. Stanley Durkee (Speaker's Diploma), Boston.
