PRESIDENTS MESSAGE SEPTEMBER 1966 As President of Northeastern University, I welcome you to our campus as young adults in pursuit of advanced education - charge you to do well in your classes, but even more, I urge you to absorb every aspect of education that is found here. Success in your academic studies is important, but in this day and age, the even greater task before you is that of finding yourselves as individuals and developing a sound philosophy of life. To find yourself socially and intellectually as an adult, you must ask yourself, Who am I? and What am I? - then have the courage to face an honest answer. Seek to gain a better understanding of your own social and religious background. Think for yourself. Learn to discern true intellectual leadership. Seek to blend the culture of the old world with the culture of the new world. Read and contemplate. Learn that there is much to be gained from observation outside the classrooms. Partake of the cultural resources that abound in Boston. Become familiar with great music, great theater, and great art. You have chosen an urban university. Avail yourself of its advantages. Yours will be the generation in which 80 percent of the population will reside in urban areas. As a college student in an urban institution, you will have an unexcelled opportunity to gain an understanding of the problems surrounding urban living. Do not hesitate to put your finger .on the pulse of urban society. Feel the Beat! This is the complete education for which you should strive and I urge you to accept the challenge!
