Dr Delmer Eugene Croft
Gosselin/Goslin and Education
Book knowledge is not all.
A wealthy, fond father, fearing his son would be contaminated by college life, had him educated at home.
When he was twenty-one, he took him to ride thru the streets of the city. They passed a female seminary just as the doors opened and a crowd of young women came out. The dear boy grabbed his father's arm and cried, "What are those?" His father replied, "They are only goslins."
Later in the day, the fond father said: "My son, you have obeyed me, have faithfully completed your education, now I am ready to spend $50,000 to give you the highest ambition of your life.
The boy looked up in glad wonder and said: "O, dad, give me a goslin."
