“Knowing the little that I do of the writings and intentions of Rabindranath Tagore, the great stress which he laid at every stage was not merely on the material pursuit of these great studies but also the spirit in which those studies should be undertaken. It is this spiritual background which it was his dream and ambition to bring into the orbit of the university. That must be the chief characteristic of an institution like Visva Bharati.” – Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee

(Visva Bharati Bill Debate, Parliament of India, 3 May, 1951)
