"One little group of upperclass students felt so strongly about the quality of their Juniata experiences that they asked me, 'What's the difference between Juniata and Amherst?' My answer was that Amherst has more very bright, more sophisticated, and more well-to-do freshmen than Juniata, but by the time they're seniors the situation has been reversed. The Juniata seniors' talents have been doubled and sharpened, and they have been better equipped to cope, to adapt, and to take risks—things they will have to do in this new world."
