Vern Knudsen Chancellor of UCLA 1959-1960 The image of change isoneof youth . . . the old must be pli- able enough to yield. The University is caught up in change, and evolution has its upsand downs. The upheaval today is a very real revolution. It won ' t just subside into the past. The roleof the Establish- ment in the University, in business, and in industry must be one of activity more responsive to the problems of young people. We are experi- encing vast reforms in the areas of racial attitudes, reli- gion, and morality. We must work to guide the causes of the revolt. On the university level we are seeing a change in curricula and a breakdown in orthodoxy. Teaching has been too much stereotyped; graduate work has been more like an appren- ticeship. This must be modi- fied or we shall be ever closed to change. We must come to stress the fundamental prin- ciples rather than the ortho- doxy. The University has grown too reminiscent of old men. It must break from the static mold. 30
