They have given us Earth Day, defined by action the world Ecology and brought home to us the fact that unless we look around, re-evaluate many of our accepted theories and practices, we are going to destroy our very civilization and our world. We owe our present awareness of the urgency of correcting our social, industrial, ecological and economic abuses, not entirely, but to a large extent, to the young-more power to them. This is a great University. It has been extremely fortunate in its presidents and its chancellors through the years. It has come a long way from the small sectarian Methodist college of 100 years ago. Its administration, its faculty and students have expanded and grown in scope, stature and ability. Twenty years ago only 15070 of its students came from outside the 12 southern states. Today nearly 40070 do. Today it has students from 50 different countries. In the arts and literature, one highlight of Vanderbilt history was a creative outburst in the 1920's by a group of writers and teachers on campus known as the Fugitives from the name of the magazine they published from 1922-25. These 16 poets included Iohn Crowe Ransom, Donald Davidson, Robert Penn Warren and Allen Tate. In fiction, literary criticism and poetry, the leading four Fugitives have taken their place among the most noted writers in English letters. In 1971, Dr. Earl Sutherland of this faculty won the Nobel Prize for Medicine. In 1972, Dr. Stanford Moore, a Vanderbilt graduate, shared a Nobel Prize for Chemistry. I might add for those interested in statistics that Vanderbilt Medical School last year had 7300 applicants for 83 places. For the past three years, Vanderbilt has had the highest percentage of participation in annual giving by Alumni of any university or college in the United States. Under the leadership of Bill and Elizabeth Vaughn and Alex and lean Heard, this University has grown greatly. Bill and Elizabeth Vaughn, born in Tennessee, went

North and I'm sure by virtue of his Vanderbilt education, he became Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Eastman Kodak. However, they have not forgotten their roots and have come back to contribute their ideas and energies to Vanderbilt. Alex and lean Heard came to Vanderbilt from Chapel Hill and have enhanced and enriched with great courage and imagination the image and the performance of Vanderbilt in the last difficult ten years. He has been wooed by others, and elected Chairman of the Board of the Ford Foundation, but his and Iean's day-to-day loyalty and action belong to Vanderbilt-of this we should be humbly proud. We may not all have such talent. We can be proud, however, that our family has contributed to the University in one way or another for six generations. The great con- tribution of our late cousin, Harold Vanderbilt, was himself. He gave of him time unstintingly. He used his ability, his intelligence and his foresight, and he had a great deal of all of them. He could well be said to be the Father of modern-day Vanderbilt University. Harold was whole-heartedly supported and en- couraged by the interest and un- tiring efforts of his wife, Gertrude. She took and continues to take a very real and personal interest in many facets of the University and community. In recognition of her efforts, she was named the only Honorary member of the Board of Trust after Harold's death. Un- fortunately, Certrude could not be with us tonight. I am sure I will have your enthusiastic support in sen- ding her a telegram of appreciation on behalf of the Vanderbilt descendants. Ten years ago, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the University, President Kennedy was the guest of honor, and in closing I think the most appropriate statement I can make is to quote from his remarks: He said, Commodore Vanderbilt recognized his responsibility and his recognition made possible the establishment of an institution of learning for which he will long be remembered after his steamboats and railroads have been forgotten.
