The President ' s goals for the University may be summarized in his own words: It seems to me that our chance — and possibly our only chan ce — for survival depends on cultivation of the widest pos- sible scale of the qualities of the heart and mind which influence men to act with intelligence and reason, with understanding and compassion, and with a high sense of justice.
