Adam Smith
After he graduated from University of Glasgow, Adam Smith then attended Oxford University studying European literature. While at Oxford Smith complained about the professors at the university, and even said that they had given up altogether even the pretense of teaching. He preferred the less prestigious schools of Scotland.

Adam Smith returned to the University of Glasgow to become a very popular professor, and then left in 1764 to tutor the young Duke of Buccleuch. For several years the two traveled throughout Europe, and it was at this time that Smith met many other great thinkers like Franois Quesnay, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Voltaire. |
