At the end of this year I shall have completed eleven years at the University of Chicago. I have been here almost long enough to count myself among the old timers1 and to call up the good old days of the past. Some of the more impeninent of my friends have even accused me of mellowing. When I hrst came to the University of Chicago, my pride was tremendous and my awe was tremen- dous. I was found that circumstanceg had con- trived to hlace me in one of the countryjs most distinguished institutions. I was awed by the his- tory and the distinction of the University. One of the first limitations I discovered on the opportunity to do what should be done here and elsewhere was the fact that the material concerns of the University have to be administered. When interest rates fell, these concerns became acute. They have been so ever since. They are so acute at the moment that they threaten the continued existence of the University as a distinguished insti- tution. The most important development of the year is the University's drive for funds. The most important thing the President has to do new is to assist the University in its struggle for self- preservation by enforcing economies and by going on the road to raise money.
