Those that would spend their energy, those at risk and in so many cases lost all in establishing a nation for the ages new their efforts and undertook a sacred work nonetheless. And thei

Mr. Vice president , governor, congressman thomas, senator wily and congressman miller, mr. Webb, mr. Bell, scientists, distinguished guests and ladies and gentlemen, i appreciate your president having immediate he m made me an honorary visiting professor and i assure you my first lecture will be very brief. I am delighted to be here and particularly delighted to be here on this occasion. We meet at a college noted for knowledge in a city noted for progress in a state noted for strength. And we stand in need of all three. We meet in an hour of change and challenge and a decade of hope and fear. In an age of both knowledge and ignorance. To greatest our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
