tions, boycotts, etc., have occurred ever since universities first came into being. DEBRIS: O.K., but the idea of students taking over an administration building is something that was unheard often or twenty years ago. HOVDE: The number of such events has certainly increased markedly in recent years. However, educational history gives many examples from earlier times. DEBRIS: What you're saying, then is that students oftoday don't really differ from students of ten or twenty years ago. HOVDE: I do not believe students of today differ very much from university students of earlier times. Today's stu- dents are certainly better educated and better informed, and larger numbers of them are deeply interested in making this world a better place in which to live. In any university, the major prob- lems of our times - international rela- tions, racial relations, poverty, pollu- tion 3 are important subjects for dis- cussion, teaching, and research, but the university is not empowered to be a po- litical action agency. Much ofour diffi- culty in thinking about the university is semantic. The university, in so far as its facilities and resources are concerned, is a corporate entity established to pro- vide instruction to students and to per- form scholarly and research work. Be- yond that, Purdue University consists of more than twenty-five thousand indi- vidual students and eight thousand employees in Lafayette. No one, not even the President, can speak for all or represent the views of all members of the University on any matter of social, governmental, or economic concern. DEBRIS: This leads somewhat to the topic of the student speaking seat on the Board of Trustees. What are your opinions on this? HOVDE: I supported the action of the Board of Trustees of the University to invite the President of the Student Body to attend Board meetings and to have the privilege of speaking because this move supplied an improved method of communication between the Board and 24 the students ofthe University. The real problem, however, is - who can speak for the student body, which consists of undergraduate and graduate students, both men and women, regis- tered in all the different schools of the University? In any event, a student must be chosen, by some satisfactory method, for this position and must him- self be capable of communication with all elements ofthe student body itself, if this is possible. In a real sense, every action of the Board of Trustees and everything the University administration does serve the students of the University by pro- viding better facilities, better teaching, and a better environment in which to live and study - all this being done within the budgetary resources avail- able to the Board ofTrustees. The whole purpose and objective of the corporate university is to provide better educational services and oppor- tunities for its student body. But none of this effort is useful and effective un- less the student does his part - namely, take advantage of his opportunities and discipline himself to the personal pro- cess oflearning. DEBRIS: In considering the role of the university, what do you think is the fu- ture ofthe university and the higher education system as we know it today is? HOVDE: Higher education is going to be more important than ever before because more and better education in breadth and depth is required to meet human wants and needs. DEBRIS: Is it going to continue in the form it has had in the past? HOVDE: Institutions of higher educa- tion are constantly changing and in- creasing in number, but the basic re- quirement on the individual student will always remain the same - namely, the individual must really educate himself. Educators haven't learned yet how to pour learning into anyone. The population of our country alone will increase by another hundred mil- lion people by the turn of the century. The ways and means to provide better education for all the young people who will be born during the next thirty years will be found. DEBRIS: Getting back to the topic of being President of Purdue, what is it about this job that has led you to hold it for as long as you have? HOVDE: What I really enjoy isthe peo- ple. I enjoy the young people because they are bright, sharp, and interested. I enjoy the constructive nature of the work of the University. I enjoy the pro- fessors, because they have devoted their life in depth to their specialties. They are always looking ahead to the future. The research people are always working on things that are going to come true five, ten, fifteen years from now. So I enjoy the people, I enjoy the work, and enjoy the challenges. DEBRIS: What are your plans after your retirement next year? HOVDE: I will continue working for the University until I reach mandatory re- tirement age in 1974. Mrs. Hovde and I are going to maintain our residence in Lafayette because this is our home and our children and grandchildren are near us. We do not want to move anyplace else. DEBRIS: What do you intend to do af- ter those three years? HOVDE: I will find plenty to do as long as I maintain good health. There will be continuing opportunities for me to give public service of one kind or another. DEBRIS: In closing, Dr. Hovde, do you feel that the title of President of Purdue has hampered your being recognized or considered as an individual? HOVDE: A University President is an individual human being like everyone else. I have a wife and family that I dearly love and seven beautiful grand- children who like to come to our house. I have a great many friends here and elsewhere whom I enjoy. I have person- al likes and dislikes and I have social and recreational pursuits that I enjoy. I like to read, I like to play golf, and I like to play cards. Personally, the things I like to do, I like to do well. And like most other people, I do at times get angry and sometimes I get very emo- tional, particularly when someone in- jures Purdue.
