ADMI I TRATIG THE PRESIDE T Since his inauguration in 1964, Yale Uni- versity President Kingman Brewster, Jr., has had a profound affect on both Yale and American education in general. His administration has been responsible for some of the most sweeping changes in the Ilniversity's history, resulting in broader and more flexible programs within Yale and an increased consciousness of the problems of integrating a university with the society it serves. In a speech before the American Council on Education, delivered in XVashington, D.C., Oc- tober 8, 1965, President Brewster addressed the group about the pressing problem of student activism and the role of the university. The fol- lowing is a selection from his speech: The quest of the young for a more satis- factory purpose is fthe educator'sj quest too. Our world and our country as well as all of us individually are in quest of ourselves. For survival the world lHLlSt find a pattern of order which permits revolutionary change, and yet forbids resort to the weapons of total fright- fulness. For survival the nation must find a pattern for society which promises dignity and decency in urban work and life. For survival each of us individually must find a pattern for life which gives purpose to ef- fect and satisfaction deeper than animal exis- tence.
