acutely controversial issues. They must be sensitive to the dictates of good sense and good taste. Or, in words of another college president of more recent years: To be an ed- ucated person, freedom does not mean the right to be impulsive, but to think, speak, and act unimpeded by prejudice and im- maturity. Freedom of speech does not mean that anyone has the right to say anything at any time. It stands, instead, for society ' s right to hear all sides of each important issue. These are difficult times for all colleges and universities, for many different reasons and not just those that I have mentioned here. But I am confident that at Occidental we will respond to the challenges of these times, and that we will do so in such a way that will make this College a better place in years to come. It is my observation that most people within the academic community are not sufficiently aware of the deepening disenchantment, dismay, and even disgust among broad seg- ments of the general public as a result of what is happening, or is thought to be happening, on college campuses the country over... I am not going to dwell here upon the reasons for the decline in public confidence in our colleges and universities, but I do want to say to you as flatly and forcefully as I can that this decline in public confidence, in my judgement, constitutes the most serious and far-reaching threat to the freedom and au- tonomy of our educational institutions of all the problems that beset us today. The kind of college this will be is up to you. It is up to you to demonstrate responsibility in matters of governance. It is up to you to make freedom secure, it is up to you to keep Occidental strong and free. 19
