In "Self-Reliance," Emerson discusses the importance of individuality. He argues that it is very valuable for a person to follow what he believes in, instead of doing what others dictate.

As far as I know, they do. the idea seems to be to inculcate the pupils (once the poor public, now the wealthy 'cos the facilities are good) in the ideas which the state has. former pupils have been given the strong notion to "serve the state" as a sort of "thank you" for their education.
