Why the Haus of Intellect?

learning is the foundation for successful matriculation.
Competitive
Competition is not met with trepidation; I will encounter thinkers more accurate than myself -- a defining feature of The Haus of Intellect.

Excellence and mastery are the standard.
Communicative
Course materials, readings,
definitions, etc.
are sifted to refine my ability to effectively impart
information.

supports growth, but demands accuracy, brilliance, & personal
achievement.

in·tel·lect
/ˈin(t)lˌekt/ n.
“[T]he
capitalized
and communal
form of live
intelligence;
it is intelligence
stored up and made
into habits of
discipline,
signs and symbols
of meaning, chains
of reasoning and
spurs to emotion –
a shorthand and a
wireless by which
the mind can skip
connectives,
recognize ability,
and communicate
truth.”
“It is very
nearly impossible...
to become an
educated person in a country
so distrustful of
the independent
mind.”
“I
know of no
country in
the which there
is so little
independence
of mind
and
real freedom
of
discussion
as in
America.”
