MESSAGE DU We are constantly asked to explain what it is about a Lycee education — and about a Lycee graduate — that is so unique. When we talk about training to- morrow ' s world leaders, we are being quite literal in our interpretation. Inherent in the definition of leadership — particularly on a global scale — is the ability and capacity to relate with and understand other peoples and other cultures . What brings this to mind is the issuance of a new federal report by the Pre- sidential Commission on Foreign Language and International Studies. In a Los Angeles Times editorial, it is noted that American capabilities in foreign languages are declining at a time when the country ' s overseas responsibili- ties and involvements are increasing, and that is one of the main reasons for the faltering U. S. economic position in world markets, its chronic trade defi- cits and its foreign policy fiascos. The report places the blame on the educational system, noting that only 15 per- cent of high school students now study another language, and only 8 percent of American colleges require a foreign language as a requirement for admission. There is a moral to this story — one that affects both our graduates of 1980, and those still in school — and the moral is that the leaders of tomorrow cannot afford the luxury of isolation; of viewing the world with tunnel vision. Those of you who leave the Lycee have great opportunities to make your mark in whatever field you wish. It may be business or the arts; it may be science or even politics. But in any of these fields, you will come to appreciate the value of a Lycee education, not only because you are multi-lingual, but also because you are multi-cultural. And with some thirty nationalities represen- ted at Le Lycee, you have inter-related with young men and women represent- ing a great cultural diversity. This opportunity, combined with the quality of education you have received, will stand you in good stead as you are called upon to meet increasingly dif- ficult challenges in the years ahead. We are very proud of our 1980 graduates, and know that they will continue to reflect credit not only upon themselves, but upon Le Lycee. And to be honest, we must share the credit. Our thanks go to our hard working instruc- tors who have trained these students; to the students themselves who have dedicated themselves so thoroughly to their tasks and to the parents and friends of Le Lycee who have continued to support this school through another exci- ting and successful year.
