l I i THE EXPECTATIONS OF THE UNIVERSITY We know there is intention and purpose in the universe, because there is intention and purpose in us. This quotation from George Bernard Shaw first of all captures the mood of universities everywhere. The urgent problems of the world compel the enterprise of universities. My own first-hand observations of leading European univer- sities in the earlier part of this academic year point up how similar our problems are to those of institutions in other parts of the world. But the deeper emphasis to be drawn from the Shaw quotation has to do with the intention and purpose in us as students, faculty, graduates and administrators in fulfilling the expectations of the University of the Pacific. Our University continues to be shaped by the expecta- tions which confront it. There is no turning away from the accelerating need for scientists, engineers, technicians, ad- ministrators, health officers, lawyers, business leaders and most important, teachers and research workers. Where are these to come from if not from universities? It is our intention and purpose to help meet these de- mands, applying innovation and the full use of the talent to be found throughout this campus community in fulfilling these expectations. But above all, we must work to preserve the underlying purpose of this University as a lively community for learning. Beyond the imparting of knowledge are victories to be won, through learning, that are capable of effecting a redeemed order of relationship among men. In an age of claims and counterclaims, of deliberate mis- representations and all kinds of strident nonsense, the expec- tations of our University grow more demanding for educated men and women of character, who by their knowledge, faith and actions, will help renew and strengthen true quality in the world's life. Thus, whenever you think about the expectations of the University of the Pacific, first include yourself as part of those expectations, then project yourself toward an intention and purpose that ennobles the intention and purpose of this uni- verse. Robert E. Burns President
