We are supposedly fairly learned now and it is up to us to utilize our intellectual facilities to work to resolve the questions confronting this country — the problems of urban America, of society, of the poor of all races, and the moral problem of our murderous involvement in Vietnam. It is our responsibility, and should be our intention, to make certain that informed opinion and action based upon that opinion will be the hallmark of our times — so that it will not be true that we and the academic world of our time were characterized only by inaction and apathy.
