Frank Harold Trevor Rhodes (born October 29, 1926) was the ninth president of Cornell University from 1977 to 1995.
Without friendship and the openness and trust that go with it, skills are barren and knowledge may become an unguided missile.
Knowledge humanely applied makes human progress possible.

' His somber assessment of the current state of athletics, scientific research, and distance education, and his call for review and restraint, should engage the attention of every faculty senate in the country. He has given us a timely, candid, courageous, and important book.
