According to the well-respected‚ nineteenth century poet‚ James Russell Lowell‚ “True scholarship consists in knowing not that things exist‚ but what they mean; it is not memory‚ but judgment.” My interpretation of this suggests that a real scholar seeks knowledge gained by looking past the surface of what might be found in bold print‚ and searches for the truth.
