. . . is one mark of an educated mind. You won't learn this in the English Department of Rutgers, however. Example:
If you value the life of the mind, the pursuit of truth, the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge, high culture and its transmission, in short, the classical values of the university as set forth in such great works as John Henry Cardinal Newman's The Idea of a University, then you should withdraw all support from the culturally Marxist indoctrination centers that the vast majority of contemporary 'universities' have become.
A good stylist, I will add, varies the length of his sentences. (And a good upholder of traditional values insists on his right to use standard English.)
The 'universities' of the present day are more an impediment to the development of an educated mind than a help. You don't need them. Do your bit to defund them.
Note the difference between 'good, long sentence' and 'good long sentence.'
