Statement, not Status.

"It is my belief that the weight of a certain person's statements., should be judged not only by his status but by [unclear: the] value of the statement Itself. But University students are potentially more qualified than the average man in that they have more information at their disposal. However, book-learning is only one of the factors; life and experience are important in the formation or political beliefs. I do not of course, mean that all a student gains from a University is book learning."
