A student in Columbia University was under the impression that he had been assured by the institution that he would be taught wisdom. Feeling that the university had failed him in the matter, he filed suit against it for eight thousand dollars.
The Superior Court dismissed the case; and the Appellate Division of the Superior Court ruled that the suit had been properly dismissed.
The presiding judge Sidney Goldmann of the three-man appellate court declared, "These charges were set in a frame of intemperate, if not scurrilous, accusations.  We agree with the trial judge that wisdom is not a subject that can be taught and that no rational person would accept such a claim made by any man or institution."
