' if 4 JOSEPH F. KAUFFMAN Dean of Stmientr sz fr tg. s 49 0 z r 2 4 sf The year that has just passed has seen a new note of urgency injected into higher education. The pressure of increased college enrollments and the missile-mindedness of the times makes us realize once more how precious and significant higher education is. These twin pressures have forced some to re-think the philosophies and programs of higher education. However, while contempo- rary challenges are indeed weighty we dare not permit ourselves to overlook the hu- mane and civilizing function of higher edu- cation. Science research must go forward with increased vigor but all aspects of the university curriculum must be deepened and enriched. When you joined this campus community you were linked with a great tradition of learning emphasizing free enquiry and in- tellectual freedom. You were also exposed to standards of excellence and scholarship. It is our hope that most of you have come to respect these traditions not only for what they contribute to your individual develop- ment as a citizen of the modern world, but for the meaning and consequences they have for all of civilized humanity. I trust that you will build upon the educa- tional foundations we have provided at Brandeis and contribute to the development of a sensitive, learned and democratic man- kind. - s :1-:-rzvafrsrf Ni f-M - ff 'eff zzzsmafz:y.es:r:m1m1m. -mwsczwffarlf faramsayzxfzawwzzzsf 2 w::w:2.ez4A.a1riif:32s.2-:1 265 5 new
