ADMINISTRATION

The craving of mMkind to learn and to attain higher levels of knowledge has always been characteristic of civilized society. This is the most important reason for the enduring qualities of educational institutions. Wars corne and peace trea· ties are made, but universities continue throughout the ages. Universities-true universities-have never changed in their essential objectives-the search for truth. They vary in their emphases; they are often made the tools of special interests; but they continue to be the nurseries of new thought about the welfare of com· man man. Universities have a sacred dl,lty to preserve the heritage of free people and to maintain the dignity of the individual. The people of China believed that the seeds of learning were so important that scholars were forbidden to join the army. and the universities were moved thousands of miles into the interior of China in order to re~establish in relative security the centers of learning which President Chiang Kai-shek felt were the seeds of hope for the post·war era. It seems clear, therefore, that universities dedicated to pushing outward the frontiers of knowledge and allowing men and women to discover the finest in themselves are increasingly important in an age when the inventions of man can be so rea.dily turned to destruction instead of being employed in the interests of human happiness. Today there is a war to be won. "And out of this struggle must come a world that holds no reins on opportunity." The University of Denver will continue to offer young people an opportunity to search for truth throughout these years of world conflict, and dedicates itself to keeping alive the undying flame of learning. Very sincerely yours,
