I am delighted to be here, and I'm 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,
for we meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear,
in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge
increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
