Have been molding boys into splendid clear-thinking young men?

This line appears in the novel 'Catcher in the Rye' by J D Salinger. The novel's anti-hero Holden Caulfied quotes this line from his college prospectus as an example of the self-satisfied pretensions of the college he attends (and hates). He comments, I think, that if there really are any splendid, clear thinking young men at his college, then they probably came to the college that way - and certainly weren't molded into it by the college.

Hope this is of help

If you want to find the quotation I think it would probably appear in the first third of the novel.
