Kimball has stated that..."One need not choose between secular and spiritual knowledge but only as to the sequence, for there is opportunity for one to get both simultaneously; but can you see that the...institute courses should be given even preferential attention over the college course; the study of the scriptures ahead of the study of man-written texts; the association with the Church more improtant that clubs...; the payment of tithing more important than paying tuition and fees?
