RUSSELL G. MAWBY August 27, 1982 Thank you, Mayor Oglesby. I am delighted to be here this morning, dedication ceremony. This sculpture, to join in this "CIRCA," stands as the "gateway" to the future of our community in both a symbolic and a practical sense. Because it is located here, beside our new intermodal transportation terminal (depot) and a part of McCamly Square, it provides a focus of interest for people arriving in Battle Creek and for all of us as we move about the city. It will surely be a topic of conversation, perhaps even criticism -but I predict that it will grow in our appreciation and will become a symbol of our city, Rapids and the Picasso in Chicago. artist, Mr. all happen. Calli gan, as have the Calder in Grand We are indebted to the and to the committee who have made it �2 But "CIRCA" is more than a gateway in the obvious tangible sense. It is a symbolic gateway to the future of Greater Battle Creek, from the city I a Battle Creek that is vastly different saw when I came here in 1966. our city is not what it used to be. I People tell me know they are right. I know because less than two decades a go we had no Family Y Center, no Michigan Mall, no McCamly Square with its Stouffer's Hotel and Kellogg Center; Area Vocational Center; there was no Calhoun the Kellogg Community College campus was just beginning to flourish; Fort Custer Industrial Park was an idea, not a reality; Binder Park Zoo didn't exist; railroad consolidation was only a hope in the hearts of citizens who waited in long queues of automobiles while endless lines of boxcars crawled across the main streets; and the Lakeview Mall development s eemed light years away, if it was thought of at all. So the sculpture represents for me a changing Battle Creek, a different Battle Creek -- a prosperous, vibrant, Battle Creek. And, a ppr opr i a t e l y , and vital it is the result of �3 community effort -- the combined contributions of countless individuals, in time, talent, and 6011ars. Perhaps Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best: so we do; and as we do, "As we are, so it is done to us; we are the builders of our fortunes and the future." Today we are taking part in a a ceremony of dedication. I time-honored tradition -- like to think that our participE- tion in the dedication of this sculpture is a symbolic statement. As a component of our Sesquicentennial observancE, linking the past to the present and the future, this ceremon~ is a declaration of our commitment to continue to work together to make Greater Battle Creek, the entire metropolitE~ area, an ever better community. Before coming over here this morning, school Latin is a bit rust y, to be sure I I be c ause my high turned to the dictionary just understood th e precise "translation" or definition for "CIRCA." Webster's says Circa means "about, or around," generally used in reference to a particular date or point in time. �4 This sculpture: CIRCA - Gateway to the Future, represents an important point in time, an important moment in both the symbolic and real growth of Battle Creek. symbolizes what Battle Creek can be if we continue to work together. and will be It �DED ICAT ION OF SCULPTURE C IRCA -G a t ew ay toth e Fu tu r e F r i d a y , Augu s t 27 , 1982 I n t e rmod a1 Ce n t e r 11 :30 a .m . 1 . \o f f iLCOME - MA' (ORFLOYD OGLESBY I I .REFERENCE TO DAR DAV IS I I I .INTRODUCE DR .

Introduction (RR1) In a recent sneech, Economist Irving Kristol referred to what he called non-profit organizations' ."sin of pride." By that, Kristol meant the notion, held by many of America's nonprofit organizations, that they somehow constitute an independent "third sector" in American society. According to their logic, there is the private sector, consisting of business enterprise; the public sector, consisting of government; and then the third, not-for-profit sector, of which foundations, most hospitals, universities, and social agencies are considered part. Kristal suggested, and I agree, that there is some question, and some danger, in identifvin g nonprofit organiz2tions as an indeDe~dent. third sector. Non-profit or ganizations are the flesh of the flesh, bone of the bone, blood of the blood of the private sector. is from the private sector And it that nonnrofit organizations derive their human and financial resources: from the individual private citizen who donates time and money, and from the private enternrise, business system which sustains our economy. If there is today widespread support for the concept of a third, independent non-profit sector, it is because of a general blurring of distinction between the historical roles of the private dnd go v e r nme n t a l sectors in our society. And that is the tonic of our mutual exploration this afternoon. Richmond and I TNill keep our overview fairly brief and a l.l.ow time for your questions. Jim �. " 'II.

Mawby, President Board of Directors The Educational Foundation of Alph a Gamma Rho Fre sno, California Augu st 17, 1976 This mo rn ing the balanc e o f our breakfast program will f ocus on The Edu ca t i ona l Founda ti on of Al pha Gamma Rho . On behal f of t he Founda t i on Board , I wish to expres s our apprec iat ion to t he Exec ut i ve Council and th e Pro gram Committee for this opportunity o f r ep orti ng to ou r National Conventi on. I will be sharing with y ou bri e fl y s ome of the highlights of your Foundation' s progress to date and shar i ng wi th yo u ou r pl a ns for the future. Most of us kn ow too litt le ab out t he Edu ca ti on al Foundation of our f rat e r n i ty . We need to better understand its purposes a nd its potenti al i f the Foun dat ion is t o make i ts max imum contribution to our bro t he r hood . You a s l e aders of your Chapt ers shoul d be e specially aware o f t he s upport t he Foundati on offers a nd should als o be a dvis i ng yo ur Found ati on Boar d of ot her ne eds t o whi ch they sh oul d gi ve co ns ideration . First, a word of backgr ound : Al pha Gamma Rho , a s a l l o f us r e a li ze , is a very complex or ganizat ion wi th our network of act ive chapter s , alumni groups , and the Nat io nal Fratern ity . Each of these elements has all sort s o f needs - - for physic al f aciliti es , f or th e oper at ional budg e t s of local chapt ers, for the activiti es of our Nat io nal Office . lifelong basis--t o f ul f i l l thes e ne eds. As members, we are obligated--on a Contributions to the fraternity by alumni do not qual i fy as deduct io ns for char i t abl e or educational purp os e s under f e dera l income tax r e gu l ation s. In r e c ognition of this fac t, t he re develope d t he con cept o f a tax-exempt educat ional f oundati on as an auxili a ry unit of our frater n i ty . Thi s idea wa s fir s t co ns ide re d at our nat i ona l �2 convention 12 years ago and was authorized at the national convention 10 years ago, in 1966. As stat ed in the Foundati on' s by-laws, the general purposes are to provide financial support: for educati onal and scientific purposes; to a i d and assi s t ne e dy a nd deserving stude nts in securing a better educati on; and to promot e a nd encourage scientifi c, ph i lo soph i c , and lit erary endeavor s. To accomplish these pur pos e s , the Educ ational Foundation is authoriz ed t o r ec eive money or property by gi f t , devis e or bequest, and to hold, mana ge, inve st, a nd expend such ass ets for the study, experimentation, and advancement o f agr icult ur e or a r eas of r ela t ed e ndeavor . More specifically, funds admi ni st ered by the Foun da t i on are us e d t o: p r ovi de a.ssistance t o needy students through gr a nt s and lo a ns; encour age academic excellence--throu gh scholarship s a nd spe ci al awar ds t o i ndividuals students (including students outside the fraternity), and f or chapt e r awards for over-all academic excellence (to be used f or educational purposes); and to stimulate academic excellence through sup port of chapter reference libraries and other study faciliti e s, and through support of tutorial and counseling programs. Organi za t ional l y , the Edu cational Foundation is an autonomous. tax-exempt, chari table, non-profit corporati on. The membership includes any member of Al pha Gmrrma Rho who has c ontributed $1 00 or mo r e on a n a c cumul a t i ve basis. At the pre s ent time there are 131 members. At t he annual meeting of the membership held last evening 20 members were present. I hope that many in a t tenda nc e a t this conve nt i on will be motivat ed t o become members. or at graduat ion . Be a par t of the growing number o f active alumni! The Foundati on is managed by a Boar d of e lected for a six-year term. t erms on the Board. J oin now-- D i r e c to ~ 's of six members, each Di rec tors c annot be re-elected to successive �3 The six men who now constit ut e the Board are Art hur L. Knobl au ch , Michigan State (President Emer itus , Western Illinois University); Clifford M. Hardin, Purdue (Vice Chairman, Ral st on Puri na), Glenn H. Sul l i van , Western Illinois (Professor of Marketing a t Pur due ) ; Paul K. Bres e e, Illinois (Corporate Executive and Past Grand President, AGR); Donald C. Brock, California-Davis (President of Br o ck Res earch, Inc.); and Jay H. Townsend, Purdue (Legislative Assistant, New Yor k Legislature). Phi l Josephson serves as the Foundation's Secretary. There are two major a s pe ct s in t he a f f a i r s o f the Educat iona l Foundation: Resour ce s (the raising o f f unds) and Programs (u s e of our f u nds ) . From the res ources standpoint , the assets o f yo ur Educat ional Founda ti on today a re $69 , 58 0 . This compares very f avorably with the situation a t the time o f ou r nati on al convention t wo year s a go when the net worth of the Foundation was $34,500. I think th e doubling of our net worth s tat us in a two-year p eriod i s commendable and that t h e r e c ord t o dat e i s good f or t he very short life of t he Edu cational Foundati on. Howeve r, th i s is a r a ther small sum o f money in r el a ti on to the educational nee ds of our fr at e rnity. Thus , while we can be sat is f ie d with progress to da t e, ther e is a gr eat c ha l lenge to ge ne r a t e more r e s ourc es so that the Educati onal Foundati on may more fUlly ser ve its purposes. There are three sources o f fund s t hat we have b e en de vel op i ng to date: (1) Chapter contributions. Six y ears a go the nati onal convention adopted a r e solution to encourage active chapt ers t o contribut e 50 c ents per member per month to the Education Foundation . At ou r nati on al co nvent ion four years ago, thi s recommendation was reaffirmed . However, no chapt er s have b een p r ov i di ng su ch support to the Fou ndation, f ew ha ve made any con tributi on. (2 ) The ma i l campaign to our alumni . This annual mail ing to alumni in the f all of the year i s the mai n source of our revenues t o dat e , p roduc i ng about �4 $10,000 a nnually. We will be changing t he mail campaign pla n this year , based on ou r exper iences ove r the pa s t y ears . t o all al umni . Formerly mai lings we r e made Thi s year, to save po s t age a nd ot her cos t s , we will mail directly on ly t o t hose Brot h e rs who have cont r ibut ed t o e ithe r the Foundation or t he Alumni Voluntary Due s Program in the pa st. The evi denc e is clear that th os e who have given are most likely to give agai n a nd to increa s e t he i r annual gi f t . To p rovi de an op por t un i t y f or al l othe rs , we will have a spec ial f e ature and a co nt r i bution e nv elope i n the f al l i ssue o f the Sic kle a nd Sheaf . A discouragi ng ob s ervation i s that o f t he 26 ,000 alumni o f Alpha Gamma Rho, onl y about 900 respo nded wi t h cont r ibut ions last year. Anything you, your active chapte r s , or alumni groups can do to encourage participati on will be helpful and appre c iat ed . ( 3) An e st at e plann i ng program t o encoura ge gift s a nd bequ e s t s. We have revi s ed the publ i cat i on , "Th e Chal leng e , " which provide s tech nical information r e garding s uc h co nt r ibut ions . of feder al tax l aws.

We a re developing plans t o provide individual counsel and guidance in work i ng out est a t e plans whi ch will serve individua l nee ds and will also h elp the purposes o f the Edu ca t i on al Foundati on. Tha t' s the r e s our s e s i de : We're smal l , but growi ng . We ne ed your help. Our progress in pr og r ams , of co urse , is relat ed to our progre s s in securing r es ourc e s. We cannot undert ake more than we can a f fo r d . Thus, withi n the limitati ons of our resourc e s, we have undertaken t he f ollowing programs. 1. Mat ching grants to chapte r s fo r educ at ional purpo s es . The s e gran t s t o chapt e rs have usually b e en in the f orm of s cho l a rsh ips , awar ds , a nd gr ant s f or assistance in library i mprovement. Twenty-two chapt ers t ook a dvantage o f �5 this matching gr a nt s progr am in 1973-74. We hop e even more will avail themselves o f this opp or t un i t y in the coming yea r . Up to $400 is available to each ch a pter on a matching basis, subj ect t o th e appr ova l of their pro posal by the Foundat i on's Board. 2. The Educ ati on al Foundati on awards two na ti on al scho l a r sh i p s each y ear o f $60 0 each . One is to an outstanding 4-H Club member t hroug h the National 4- H Council ; t he other is t o an outstanding FFA member thro ug h the National Vocati on al Agricultural Tea che r s Ass o ci a t i on . 3. Chapter awards for scholarship. Thes e s ch olarship recognitions a re present ed by th e Nati onal Fraternity, reco gnizing s ch olastic excellence for large, medium , a nd small-size chapters. 4. In add it ion , t he Boar d of t he Educ ati on al Founda ti on has aut hori ze d a budget of up to $1 , 00 0 f or a ddi t iona l awar ds r elated to scholar sh i p , l eadership. ac h ievement , a nd ser vic e . Details o f this awards p rogram will be det ermined by t he Exec ut i ve Counc i l o f the Nat ional Frat e r ni ty . The ideas whi ch h ave been sugges t e d f or pos sib l e p r ogrammi ng development by the Educati on al Foundation are exciti ng indeed. At present, our creativity and initia tive are co n s t r a i ne d by our limited r es ources. As we succeed i n r ai sing add i t ional fund s , I am sur e that y our Educatio nal Foundat i on can make an ever greate r co nt r i but ion to t he educati onal purpo ses of ou r brot h erhood.

Changes in People and their Institutions Extension: the founders-of Extension and the Land Grant System did not seem to see or respect many limits on the roles they played or the visions they saw. (Knapp, Bailey) i.e. leadership. - Today we seem to impose boundaries on ourselves and live with narrow roles and visions of what can be done - Why do we let economic and scientific specialization narrow our view of ourselves and our future? - Why do we narrow ourselves even further with excessive professional specialization (is extension over-trained and under-educated?) Farm People: - smarter, better educated, wealthier - increasingly will not be from Land Grant College s - their problems Rural People: - their problems People in the institutions of agriculture and th e inst itutions making policy for agriculture increasin gly - will not have farm backgrounds - or be from Land Grant Colleges Extension's Opportunities and Role with People, their dev elopment , their problem solving. �J . --- -0 · --. - ~~ ~ : �2 -,------ _. �-3 - - -- - --- - --- - -- _.- - -- -- - ----- - -- . �1 ,/J I ~~ - ~ 9J' ( ; T ~ ~ .

It is indeed a privilege and a pleasure to be with you this evening. - Ltt'-i Saint Benedict as a steward a nd a resource in the community. • ,. ,. ,. The historic relationship with St. Joseph -- St. Benedict's Academy was opened in 1882 a s an institution t ha t c e r t Lf ie d teachers at the primary and secondary school level. St. Benedict as an institution that promotes cultural enrichment for St. Joseph. (The University had a push in 1934 to strengthen the arts department in anticipation of the Benedict Arts Center, which consequently opened in 1963.) The facult y and staff of St. Benedict as a community resource. Stud ents as a community resource -- VISTO Program that today involves more than 500 students in 16 different VISTO sponsored programs. (Outlined in most recent St. Benedict's magazine on page 18.) II - - Sharing those thoughts on St. Benedict and the important role it plays in the community, naturally leads us to the assigned topic for today: "Leadership and Community Problem Solving." ,. I did not want to be presumptuous or inappropriate by giving a proposed long cafeteria list of issues. • Instead, I have chosen a broad overview, to share briefly six observations about things going on in society. Please forgive my frequent reference to Battle Creek, and a ctivities of WKKF -- these are know best. very our Michigan, examples I --Ob s e r va t i on 1: The seeming in~b~l~~ o~r political pr~~es in institutions to deal with significant issues in substantial wall-'-. �2 - .. .. ..

INDEED SIMPLER. IN THE PAST, LIFE WAS My GENERATION COULD APPROACH LIFE IN THREE NEAT BLOCKS -- GO TO SCHOOL, GO TO WORK, OUT TO PASTURE. WHOLE HOST BURGEONING OF REASONS, KNOWLEDGE, COMPLEXITY OF ISSUES, THAT THE THE PATTERN IS ACCELERATING NO RATE INTERRELATEDNESS OF LONGER OF NOw, FOR A ADEQUATE CHANGE, -THE HUMAN EXPERIENCES. YOu AS EDUCATED PERSONS MUST DEMONSTRATE A COMMITMENT TO LIFELONG LEARNING, INCORPORATING IN YOUR OWN LIFE A CONTII\lUHJG INTERACTION BETWEEN WORK, FAMILY, LEISURE, AND LEARNING. AND FINALLY, THAT THIRD CHALLENGE, INVOLVEMENT. EFFECTIVE DEMOCRACY REQUIRES INGREDIENT INDIVIDUAL INVOLVEMENT. A UNIQUE OF OUR AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE IS VOLUNTEERISM, THOSE THINGS WHICH INDIVIDUALS DO VOLUNTARILY, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO. MARGARET MEAD HAS OBSERVED: �-15"WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY THAT ALWAYS HAS DEPENDED ON VOLUNTEERS OF DIFFERENT KINDS -- SOME WHO CAN GIVE MONEY, OTHERS WHO GIVE TIME, AND A GREAT MANY WHO FREELY GIVE THEIR SKILLS, FULL-TIME OR PART-TIME. CLOSELY, THAT REALLY EMBODIES HUMAN YOU OUR LIFE WILL SEE THAT IF YOU LOOK ALMOST MATTERS TO DEEPEST COMMITMENT SHOULD BE US, LIVED SPECIAL ANYTHING ANYTHING AND THAT TO THE WAY CARED FOR, DEPENDS ON SOME FORM -- MORE OFTEN MANY FORMS -- OF VOLUNTEERISM." THIS FACT GIVES A DISTINCTIVELY HUMANE QUALITY TO LIFE IN AMERICA. BUT ONLY IF WE CONTINUE TO RENEW THE "HABITS OF THE HEART," TO USE THE TITLE OF A RECENT BOOK BY ROBERT BELLAH. LET ME SUGGEST TO YOU THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT WAY IN WHICH YOUR LIFE WILL BE MEASURED ULTIMATELY IS BY THE WAYS IN WHICH YOU SPEND YOUR LEISURE TIME. BE SURE, TO SOME TIME MUST BE SPENT IN HOBBIES AND OTHER FORMS OF RELAXATION. BUT LET ME ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPEND AS MUCH OF IT AS YOU CAN IN PAYING BACK THE SOCIETY THAT ALREADY HAS GIVEN SO MUCH TO YOU. YOUR PROFESSION NEEDS YOU, BEYOND THE MANDATE OF THE JOB, TO �-16 - RA ISE THE LEVEL OF PROFESS IONAL PERFORMANCE AND ETH ICS .

RE: Meeting with student leaders at College of Saint Benedict Although the meeting with students is scheduled to be informal, you will have a few minutes to address the stlldents before they ask questions. I think that the students would find the following things of interest: Mawby's view of leadership (i.e., someone who gets something done). • The importance of statesmanship and cooperation in leadership and problem solving. • Your views on community or social involvement (Le., "a person is usually remembered for what they have done with their free time . . . "). • The importance of being w 11 informed in spite of the media. (As a student, I wish someone had pointed out to me that the media did not always tell all of the story.) • The importance of leaders to continue their education, formally or informally. \ DOE/lpt/954w � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Draft Remarks by Dr. Rus se l.L G. Mawby Chairman and chief executive officer w. K. Kellogg Foundation and Chairman, Council on Foundations Thursday, April 7, 1983 34th Annual CF Conference San Francisco, California At last year's annual conference in Detroit, my predecessor as Chairman, Leslie Luttgens, characterized 1981 as a year of change for the Council and the grantmaking community. new programs. Such change took the form of new leadership and That thrust toward capitalizing on new opportunities and needs was the necessary product of many internal and external forces affecting all of us. The decade of the 1980s is two years and three months old. And we are finding that it is exhibiting all the characteristics most of us predicted it would have: hard, tough, challenging. I think there remains, however, an unextinguishable attitude of hope and optimism among people. It is an enduring belief that we -- as a nation and �2. a world of reasoning, intelligent beings -- will win out over the battery of difficulties that we see positioned before us. Such a belief underpins the whole philosophy and history of private philanthropy, and private grantmaking, in American society. Why? Because the belief that improvement is attainable has proven, inevitably, to be true. Peter Drucker has said that "results are gained by exploiting opportunities." And Arnold Glasow tells us that "problems are opportunities." So, today, those problems, and those opportunities are legion for both society and the grantmaking community. They are forcing all of us, as indi- viduals, as communities, as part of this nation's business and industrial sector, educational and health care systems, and, yes, as grantmakers and grantmaking organizations, to take a close, careful, and in some cases, painfully frank look at ourselves, our work, our plans and our future. We have found as a result of such analysis that we can even do a better job by using our fewer resources with more precision and with more accountability. Importantly. we have found it is possible to alleviate operating costs �3. by watching pennies, not just dollars, and by developing practical interests in cooperation where it never -- or only marginally -- e xisted before. Employees and managers. businesses and universities, elected officials and voters. have begun to acknowledge by deed -- not just words -- the real value in collaboration to solve problems. We have truly. and collectively. begun to understand and appreciate Arnold Glasow's view of problems as opportunities to achieve important social progress. The Council on Foundations is among organizations in the non-profit private sector to accept the problems and opportunities to make changes in its procedures. methods. operations and priorities. Such changes are resulting in greater service to all of you as members of the Council. And I believe the Council's difficult decisions of the past several years will. ultimately. ~ 1" t. t) P~<­ accrue to the millons l~hO benefit from this country's private philanthropic work. Our Council began doing things differently as we turned the corner into the 1980s. It continued in 1982 with an important s elf study of the Council's role, responsibilities and services.

During the Council's recent self study there was another serious concern which drew the attention of the staff and the board. the Council's cloudy, long-term financial picture. It was, of course, A careful review of income sources showed that the Council was not generating the revenues needed to sustain the growing scope of its various programs. As you know, the Council's primary purposes are threefold: ONE, to help improve the climate for growth of corporate, private and community foundations; TWO, to ~~ regional associations of grantmakers; and THREE, to· foster development of professional leadership for the entire foundation community. It is a broad-gauged, vital, and difficult mission. The Council has tightened its budget and has trimmed its list of objectives where practical. But none of us want to reduce or eliminate programs that are essential to meeting critical needs of the membership. �b• ~~~ ~ .

Satisfaction, because we have seen the number of community and corporate foundations, and giving programs, grow dramatically during the past decade, as well as their impact on society. But there are also concerns for the future. And I cannot end my comments today without mentioning three of them. We must increase our efforts to correct the truly absurd public support test to which community foundations are subjected; and which today effectively penalizes a community foundation which is successful in expanding its asset base and grantmaking. This change can, and should, be made by the U.S. Treasury Department, and without delay. We must also intensify our efforts to ensure that foundations comply fully with the law as it relates to public reporting of grantmaking and management activities. Through example, and peer group pressure, we should work towards the goal of all foundations with significant assets and grantmaking annually publishing public information about their work. ' And finally, within weeks of related Congressional hearings scheduled in the U.S. House of Representatives, we must also ask ourselves, as individuals �9. presumably commited to the overall value of philanthropy in our society) why one segment of our field -- namely private foundations -- is in a state of decline. Why has there been) with only a few e xceptions) a near "zero birth rate" for new) large foundations since 1969? Why are today's entrepreneurs not creating private foundations with their we a l t h in the American tradition of Carnegie) Ford) Pew) Mellon) Kellogg, Mott) Kresge) Sloan) and Kaiser? We must ask ourselves --- as individuals and as an organization responsible for helping to determine the future of philanthropy -- whether we believe that private foundations are important to America. And if the answer is yes) then we must also ask ourselves what must be done to remove the barriers to creation of new private foundations right now, as well as ten, twenty, thirty years from now. In closing) I would only add that I consider myself fortunate to have served as the Council's chairman during the past year -- fortunate to have worked with a chief executive officer of Jim Joseph's caliber, to have seen the Council continue to improve its services to members) to continue to �10. speak out, and to speak up, on behalf of philanthropy; and to continue to face the tough questions which will determine the future of private giving and private grantmaking in our society. It is no small, nor insignificant, task. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mawby, President W. K. Kellogg Foundation at the 67th Annual Conference National University Continuing Education Association Cincinnati, Ohio April 6, 1982 I Thank you very much for inviting me to be one of your featured speakers at this, the 67th Annual Conference of the National University Continuing Education Association. I am pleased to participate in the process you have undertaken to examine the impact of change on higher education and the challenges to continuing education. presented. You have the responsibility of accommodating and adapting to change while achieving the goals of your institution. Yours is not an easy assignment, but neither is it an impossible one. The decade of the 80s has been described as the "Decade of Determination" in higher education. It will, without exaggeration, be a time of reckoning, culminating in the survival of the fittest. �2 I'm reminded of Charles Dickens' wonderful opening of A Tale of Two Cities: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so far like the • present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." But such periods of stress, whether in Dickensian England or today in America, too easily viewed only in a negative sense, can and do hold dramatic opportunities for positive change. Such �3 change will be more possible for -- and familiar to -- the institution which has historically viewed constant renewal as part of a continual commitment, rather than a backed-into-a-corner imposition. Most of us as individuals, as well as many of the institutions we represent, are particularly receptive to change at times of personal and professional crisis or misfortune. My personal view is that institutions of higher education must become both more creative and more conservative -- not necessarily contradictory positions. hand in hand. In fact, the two can go Leadership has an obligation to be increasingly conservative in managing financial and human resources during times of economic constraints. At the same time we must ask -- how can our limited resources be more creatively applied to existing or new educational challenges? Can we challenge the way things have "always been done" to develop better programs, while at the same time we tighten the purse strings? I am firmly convinced that you -- as creative leaders -- are uniquely positioned to help assure your institutions' and your • �4 profession's viability through a strong, wide-reaching program of continuing education. You can stand head and shoulders above the crowd -- demonstrating to your institutions that you are the experts in continuing e duc a t i on and that you can run programs that prove it; proving, through knowledge and leadership in the field, that you are the expe r t resource in your institution's vital plans to restructure and respond to population and clientele changes such as were outlined by Barbara Caplan on Sunday. I will limit my comments today to several steps you might take in developing the type of strong continuing education program that is well institutionalized and keenly involved in the campus and community interactional network; and steps you might take as individuals to make yourselves the masters of your professional field and of your own destinies. II As all of us are well aware, the times before all of us will not be easy. Some say the outlook for higher education is particularly �5 dismal. The percentage of young people who go from secondary school to college is steadily dropping, as is the percentage of students retained until graduation. The baby boom which began after World War II came to an end in 1960, after which the fertility rate began a steady decline. In the inexorable course of time, the peak of this crop of babies reached college age between 1978 and 1982. The pool of potential enrollees is now expected to drop dramatically and continue falling for the rest of the century. Meanwhile, many new kinds of postsecondary institutions are emerging, all wanting their share of the declining numbers of students. Some of these institutions will be so compliant to the whims of their students that they will debase the currency of learning. Others will devise curricula or methods to meet previously unserved needs, which lie well outside the presently conceived missions of colleges and universities. Likely -- if we are perfectly candid -- some will do a better job of providing education than our existing institutions. As you well know, there is alre ady an increase in the numbers and quality of training programs , �6 by large health complexes, research and development units of industry, and advanced science and technical bureaus of government . If this trend continues, and if these training programs win the right to award degrees or credentials, they may prove to be respectable and worthy alternatives, serious competition for our current programs of undergraduate, graduate, and professional education. If these possiblities materialize , then all of you in academia, and the colleges and universities which remain, will be confronted by problems of a nature and magnitude that we can hardly visualize • today. But even if institutions of higher education do all the things which we already know how to do to modify traditional patterns of post-secondary education, the response may not be sufficient. The number of potential students of typical college age will fall so drastically in proportion to the overall population that our institutions must find new clienteles if institutional talents and resources are to be fully engaged. �7 We may speculate about the nature of these new clienteles foreigners, physically handicapped, non-academically-gifted persons, and minorities, all with educational needs to be met. But there is another group, sufficiently large, capable, and rewarding to our society to make broad use of the talent and resources that colleges and universities possess. I refer of course to our adult population. III When I suggest a sharpening focus on the continuing educational ne eds of adults, I do so not from any compulsion to "save our colleges and universities" by finding another market. I say it, rather, because these needs reflect our changing contemporary so ciety, the altering life patterns of our citizens, and the burgeoning of new knowledge. And I say it out of an emphatic, whole-hearted conviction that the serving of lifelong learning needs is a legitimate, but unfulfilled, role for institutions of hi gh er education. �8 Each institution must work out its distinctive destiny in terms of its resources and the needs and interests it wishes to serve. There are at least 450 continuing education programs now in operation across the country. different futures. There will be 450 -- and more -- But there are some general ideas that I would share with you as you move ahead as leaders in this field. Be creative in institutionalizing the concept of continuing education. Few institutions of higher education have really accepted the full implications of the concept of lifelong learning and done something about it in terms of their organizational chart, patterns of financing, faculty reward systems, functional activities, and relationships within the institution and with organizations beyond. In the 1960s, continuing education -- or extension, if you will, -- was considered to be anything done to serve an outreach function. It was run by a campus extension office. But increasingly, as declines in student numbers on campus have led to cuts in revenues, various departments have appealed for control of their �9 own piece of the extension "pie" in an attempt to shore up clienteles and budgets. I know of one university, for example, which has 38 separate, independent, continuing education programs. One way to view the future would be to say that extension has won its battle to have the whole university regard adult education as essential. The idea is diffused everywhere. "A university can have as many as 38 extension divisions," you say. "Hurrah! We have won. Now let us turn to other matters." But even as such a viewpoint is hypothetically expressed, it sounds more and more hollow ... Doesn't it? Why? I believe you know why. ---Because the essential spirit and balance of adult education within the institution is lost in such fragmentation. What is everybody's business is nobody's business. ---Because the central managerial functions of adult and continuing education -- residential centers, evening colleges, off-campus cent ers, correspondence education, and other forms of �10 distance learning including radio and television stations -- must be centrally managed. ---Because the problems of society do not present themselves in terms of the subject-matter departments of our colleges and universities, but rather are interdisciplinary, complex in content and require integrated educational approaches. ---Because the skills of adult and continuing education program design and execution demand highly developed specialists and leadership. ---And because the capacity to understand and work with outside groups -- both fellow educational providers and clients is essential and requires special skills, education and leadership. In my view, there is a need and a place for a single continuing education office (or department) on the campus, which is a part of the central administrative structure of the university. Such central management is especially vital in light of current economic pressures to which institutions find themselves subjected. An extension program cannot be cost-effective if evening classes • �11 have a budget and director apart from off-campus classes, which h ave management different from outreach programs of another nature. Cost-effectiveness in managing a continuing education program comes in having a central administrative and budgetary structure with sufficient checks and balances. Of equal importance to the administrative structure of continuing education is the attitude structure for continuing education. The university was conceived in our society as a knowledge resource center with responsibilities in teaching, research, and service. is for life. It should practice the belief that learning Learning is essential for occupational proficiency; for civic competence; and for family, avocational, and self-fulfillment goals; but most importantly learning is lifelong, in myriad forms and circumstances. The university must appreciate that adults are different from young people, and must sensitively and adeptly respond to their needs. How can the university institutionalize the right attitude structure for cont i nu i ng edu cation ? I suggest we must be more • �12 creative in developing problem-oriented programs, in addition to the more traditional discipline-oriented activities. Consider such societal concerns as health care delivery, the viability of our local political institutions, the efficacy of elementary-secondary education, the family as the basic social institution, the special problems of the aged. Resources from throughout the university must be mobilized to deal in new and comprehensive ways with such issues. Another part of this different response to the "Challenge of Changing Ground Rules in American Higher Education" would be for you and your institutions to show real creativity in working with the informal network of other continuing education organizations. Here I mean voluntary organizations, community agencies, business and industry, libraries, and churches. While continuing education activities of universities customarily include these contacts, I suspect such interrelationships have been neither as systematic nor as comprehensive as they should be. • �13 Develop better linkages between the formal (traditional undergraduate and graduate) and informal teaching programs. Usually these teaching activities at the university exist side by side with virtually no interaction. Show creativity in inter-institutional arrangements, demonstrating coordination and cooperation. Institutions of higher education must be less unilateral in their educational activities. Be more creative in the use of new technology in learning. Much has been made of new hardware and software available for teaching. The challenge in the utilization of new technology lies with the human element, both teacher and learner. And, as leaders in continuing education, you need to furnish that new spark of creativity and commitment in identifying specific target audiences in various settings. With some client audiences, exemplary effort in continuing education can be cited; other audiences are virtually or absolutely unreached. No one would advocate that a university should be all things to all people. But institutions of higher education should be charged with & �14 strengthening all of education -- with creating new institutional forms if they are needed, nurturing them, preparing personnel , evaluating their effectiveness, and developing modifications so that educational needs can be b etter met. IV It may be presumptuous, but let me cite some possibilities for greater continuing education services. To begin with, what about continuing education in the professions ? "Oh, boy," you say, "where has this guy been the past 20 years? Do esn't he know what we've been doing in continuing professional education?" Yes, I know, and almost everybody knows and takes as an article of faith that lawyers, architects, dentists, pharmacists, social workers, school teachers, and certain other professionals need to go on learning throughout their lives. We know about the continuing education programs offered to them. But we also know that many professionals are laggards in this respect. And so, slowly and reluctantly, the professions themselves, and the state governments which license some of them, are taking steps to bring • �15 matters under social control. Many such efforts have to do with supervision, regulation, and the imposition of penalties for "poor practice," but a great deal of hope has also been attached to the provision -- and the mandating --of continuing education. How active are you, as continuing education's leaders and spokespersons, in working with individual professions and professionals, to help them understand the need for, develop, and then take advantage of continuing professional educational opportunities? How active is your institution ? capitol? In your community? In the state In testimony before licensing and other state boards? In dialogue at national professional conferences? national groups? And with other And how much progress is being made in relating continuing professional education to individual needs, with "success '! measured in terms of performance in professional practice rather than simply accumulated CEUs? Outside the professional fi eld, associations devoted to religious, political, so cial, and economic causes are also now turning to adult education as a way of achieving their diverse • �16 ends. Large numbers of people are seeking to acquire basic learning or fundamental life skills, to secure high school equivalency certificates, to use experience in an educative way, to earn non-traditional degrees, and to learn new kinds of work competence or expand the ones they already have. In many organizations, particularly the military services and some major corporations, work time and study time are meshed with one another. Is it appropriate for me to suggest that you -- again as leaders of continuing education -- recognize, reflect, and advocate, in tangible ways, a commitment to continuing education? What are you, as leaders in the field, doing to pragmatically raise the awareness of your college freshmen that they are launching a process of learning that will be lifelong, and a relationship with their, and your, academic community which should be continuous? In this regard, I often ponder the fact that as a society we hav e built a great industry around the concept of estate planning , but these elaborate plans are implemented only at death. Why not a comprehensive approach to building an individual plan for • �17 living -- for lifelong learning and growth, reflecting the latest notions of the stages of adult development, incorporating an individual's personal values and goals, and representing a totally comprehens ive and refreshingly new accommodation of institutions to the inter-relationships between work (profession, career), family, leisure, and learning? Could it be done for the 18-year-old college fre shman? For the 23-year-old medical student or the 48-year-old computer programmer? Can you do it? Can the institution you represent do it? v In the hope that you will give further thought to these ideas and questions, I offer two related cautions. Both are based on my foundation's some 40 years of supporting continuing education programs in a variety of forms, settings, institutions, and professions. First, the path for creating new programs for adults is neither simple nor easy. Since 1970, a number of people have believed that the essential idea of non-tradition al e duc a t i on was , �18 simply to do the opposite of what tradition suggested. If a program had previously been completely prescribed, then it could be made completely elective; or, if all courses had been taught during the day on campus, then t each them at night somewhere else. Some very costly mistakes have resulted. Another cornmon error is to pick up a successful program in one field and to put it down, intact, in another. People have not understood how complex is the model they seek to use and how it has be en tailored to fit the situation in each of the places it is used. Perhaps its principles -- or, at least, some of them -- can be transplanted, but their application to their new setting is never easy. If continuing education is to be as firmly rooted in futur e practice as introductory e du c a t i on for young people is today, we must expect no easy and quick gains but must be prepared for dedicated, even dogged, e f f or t . My s e cond caution relates to a point I made earlier. If colleges and universities are to become true centers of learning throughout the adult years, then the desire to bring this about , �must be ardently pursued for its own sake and not merely because such a course of action is thought to be necessary to save the institution. VI So, how does all this relate to the changing ground rules of American higher education? university? For my program? What does it mean for my college or For me personally and professionally? I have tried to suggest that it must mean a new attitude about continuing education. Colleges and universities, and you as professionals, can take the "low road" that looks on the continuing education function as merely acquiring students who pay tuition. Or you can take the "high road" that advocates the importance of continuing education for all students and individuals of a l l ages . It also means an awareness that if your institutions do not transmit knowledge to the people who will, and actually do today, control society, then you cannot effect necessary change. t �20 Full circle, then, to change as it relates to you and NUCEA. For all of the foregoing hopes , dreams, aspirations, and potenti al will depend in the final analysis -- on the continuing education of th e continuing education professional and on the abilities and vision of key organizations like NUCEA. NUCEA must strive to further develop a pool of continuing education leaders. Today there are only a few individuals who have gained a national or international reputation as expert continuing education administrators. In too many instances, those appointed to run continuing education programs are selected because they have excellent track records as deans or faculty members in other areas. Once appointed, they are expected to just tldo it," meaning run an effective continuing education program . Such narrow attitudes toward the skills, perceptions, and qualifications needed from a continuing education director only serve to explain why, under budgetary pressures, too many institution s ca s t un enli ghtened eye s at continuing educ ation as something they can eliminate in an effort to cut corners. �21 To advance the cause of continuing education, NUCEA might identify and affiliate with leading universities that have an impressive record of scholarship in continuing education. NUCEA might then direct new deans, directors, and faculty to these institutions to participate in mentor experiences in order to develop the skills needed as continuing education administrators. There also needs to be continuous "two-way traffic" on the bridge between scholarly research and theory development in continuing education, and the application of that scholarship in practice. NUCEA might solidify its role as resource center for the 30 to 40 differing organizations which today provide continuing education experiences for their members. For example, l've been told the NUCEA region coordinated by Memphis State University has done a particularly good job of developing a network of resource agencies, materials, and institutions that can be called upon to meet a variety of programming needs. NUCEA has the potential for also developing greater awareness and support among college and J �22 university presidents for the challenges, opportunities, needs and institutional payoffs which are reflected in making available continuing education opportunities for their own continuing education administrators and faculty. The future is equally challenging and full of opportunity for each of you as continuing education professionals. If you are perceived as being without consequence or contribution to new educational needs or solutions, you may well be among the first casualties of the "decade of scarcity" ahead. On the other hand, if you perform well professionally, you will be recognized, accepted and called upon as individuals with unique scholarly resources, experiences, and practical talents. [Let me apologize here if my language seems a bit sexist. I've struggled to balance the male and female pronouns in my remarks, particularly so since I recognize that some of the greatest leaders in extension work have been, and are today, women. ] I �In either case, the effective continuing education administrator will know how to perceive the needs of adults by knowing the community which the university serves and its social and economic fabric in relation to the greater social system. He or she will keep abreast of advances in new knowledge and ways of transferring that knowledge to the people who can best use it. He will be well read on the subject of continuing education (more than 2,500 doctoral dissertations have been written about it); he or she will attend conferences, when appropriate, to form networks with resource agencies and others in the field; and he will continually study personal successes and failures in order to build a better program. The effective continuing education administrator will be that person who has so clearly become the master of the scholarly "body of knowledge" on adult and continuing education that he has demonstrated both his intellectual excellence and standing, and his value to his institution in ways no one else has or can. will hav e cr eated the environment in which he and his staff He �24 continue to learn and grow and develop programs in concert with the people they serve. From the unique continuing education knowledge base he possesses, and through the special skills and talents he has carefully honed, this professional will provide critical leadership for his department and his institution during the coming era of "changing ground rules in higher education." He will work creatively to help his college or university overcome an outdated, full-time equivalency based funding formula. Through NUCEA and other affiliations, h e will help higher education and America cast off the constraints of self-created systems of credentialing and accreditation. Using his reservoir of experience, he will work effectively with his university faculty to alleviate their discomfiture in dealing with other than captive, post-adolescent students. And, he will be at the forefront in successful efforts to remove the reluctance of institutional decisionmakers -- and those beyond -- to condone or champion unaccust omed approaches to reaching educational objectives. �25 VII It is the best of times. It is the worst of times. The characters in Charles Dickens' novel lived at a time of dramatic social and economic change. I suspect that so do we, and so does higher education in America. But I also sense a readiness on the part of academia -- and on the part of learners -- to consider, explore, test new concepts and patterns. It is the best of times. It is the worst of times. Yet at no time in the recent past have you as professionals and continuing education as a concept and as a reality been better positioned to .. help chart your professional futures, those of your institutions, and that of higher education generally. It is the best of times. It is the worst of times. But we should remember that universities always honor faculty members who demonstrate outstanding erudition and competence; even in times of scarce resources, Nobel Prize winners are seldom fired from their jobs. Extension leaders who are equally knowledgeable and able need have little fear for their futures. Departments of �26 continuing education and institutions of higher learning must rest on the sagacity and performance of those who operate them. On no other rock can they securely stand. Godspeed in your efforts to reach such high, firm ground. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Russel l G. Mawby , President , W. K. Kellogg Foundat io n at the De di cat ion of the W. K. Kellog g Arabian Hor s e Center Califor ni a State Polyte chni c Univers i t y , Pomona April 6 , 1974 I It is a pleasure to participate in the dedication of the W. K. Kello gg Arab ian Horse Cent er , r ep r e senting the Board of Trus t ee s of our Foun da t ion on this happy occasion. I co nv ey to you the gr ee t i ngs of our Boar d and the special greetings of Dr . Emory W. Mor r i s . Fr om the Foundat ion 's standpoint, Dr. Morris played a n especial ly s ignificant role i n t he dec is io ns and activi ties which have led to this day . During the 40 ye ars in which he has been associat e d with the Foundat i on , for 27 years a s our chi e f execut i v e offic e r until his r et ireme nt in 1970 and now as the chai rma n of ou r Board , h e was vitally involved i n t he decis ions through which the ranch be came Cal Po ly and in our providing funds for the development of t hi s new fac ility . He ve ry much regr et s that he c an not be here today and asks t hat he be rememb e r ed to his many fri ends and to all who are i n attenda nce . II A dedication program i s fut urist ic by defin it ion, a forward l ook i ng occasion . But as we dedicate thi s handsome new fa c ility and l ook to the future , it is i mpo r t a nt to look bac k to t he he r i t a ge of this pla ce an d these horses . W. K. Kellogg established the Kellogg Company in 1906 and began coming to California for the winter months in 1920 . He developed an interest i n �2 Arabian horses and i n the mid 1920 's aCQui red 800 plus acres of l a nd and beean bu i lding h i s l ov e l y ranc h estate- - the big hous e on th e hill, the smaller hous e fo r f amily members , the gardens and ponds, the stables and pastures , the or ch a rds - -and the developme nt of the Ar abian h e r d , as s emb l i ng select anima l s from the Uni t ed States and import s from ab ro a d , e special l y f rom La dy Went wor t h ' s Crabbet Park Stud in Engl an d. Th e Sun day s hows, which became a t radition i n Southern California . were started soon the reafter , with t he s how a rena c on s truc t e d i n 1930. Mr . Kelloeg loved the r a n ch, not on ly becaus e of its beauty and because i t was the perfec t home for h is Arabian s , but also because i t was " home" for a number of years fo r his son Kar l and fam ily , a nd daug ht e r Beth a nd h e r fam i ly . A numb e r of his grandchildr en spent the ir early y e a rs here on the ranch . As a part of t he colo rful h eri t a ge, ma ny famo us guests v is ited the ranch : Colonel Lindberg , Madam Schumann- Heink , Clara Bow , Gary Cooper, Laur a LaP lant , Ol i v i a DeHav ila n d, Dougl a s Fairb a nk s, Mary Pi ckfor d , Wallace Berry, Mar lene Di et r i ch , the Ou r Gang kids, Will Rogers . Rudolph Val ent ino used the great hors e , J a da an, in several movies and Tom Mix rode Kellogg Arab ians i n several Tour n ament of Roses parades . Thus , t he ranc h from its earliest days - -in several ways - - helped to popular iz e and imp rove the Arabian breed . II I In 1932, the ranch and the horses were g iven to the Uni v e rsity of California , Davis , for their r e sea r c h and demonstration programs in a gr i c ulture. Mr. Kel logg reserved on ly 50 acres and t he r e s i de nc e s for his personal use , including certain relationsh ips with the horses . �3 When World War II came along, he a sked the University of California that the ranch be returned t o him s o that it could b e used by the United Stat e s in the war effort. Thus, during the war the Army used th e ranch and horses as a ca va l r y remount s tat i on an d as a t raining cent er f or dof,s o f the K-9 Corps. IV After the war, the Army had no further use f or the ranch and tran sferred it t o th e U.S. Department o f Agriculture. The USDA, deciding that it had no use for the ran ch and inadequate budget s t o maintain the program here, declared the ranch surplus in 1948 and turned it ove r to the Gene r al Service s Administration f or di sposal. With the help of ma ny people, including l ocal leaders in Pomona, in this Coun t y and in the State of California, and l overs of Arabian horses. and helped by the interventi on of members of Cong r e ss , including Senat or Knowland and Cong r e ssman Richard M. Nixon, and Se cretaries of Agriculture Cl i nto n Anders on and Cha r l e s Brannon, Mr. Kellog g and Dr. Morris suc ceede d in having the ran ch returned t o the Foundati on with the understanding that it would be used f or t h e benefit o f the people of California. Many al t e r na t i ve us es f or the property were con sidered. In 1949, the ranch was de eded t o the St a te of Cal i fo r n ia "to be u sed f or oc cup at io nal training con sist ent with the phil osophy and ob j ect i ve s o f Cal i f orn i a State Polytechnic Col lege . " Thus began thi s campus. Si nc e Cal Poly had pro gr ams in agriculture, including animal scienc es, t he de e d included the provis o t hat the Arabian herd would be maint ained a nd t he Sun day shows would be continued, f or a p eriod of 2 5 year s (throu gh �4 1975), with the College then free to make a dec ision regarding the future of th e Arabian prog r am. As th e campus gr ew, f ar exceedi ng earlier expectat ions, i t soon bec ame apparent that the horses would have to be relocated . Thus , under the l eader- ship of Chancellor Dumke and the trustees of the Cal ifornia State University a nd College System , and President Kramer and other offic ials at Cal Poly , pl ans for t he s e new fa ci liti e s we r e dev e lope d as a par t of the Unive rs ity 's master plan . The officials of this University and the trustees and officers o f the System regard the Arabians as an important and unique feature o f Cal Poly and, thus, to insure that the Arabian program might continue t o be a par t of t hi s i n st ituti on, th ey app roac hed th e Foundatio n f or support i n t h e development of t he new stables . This abbreviat ed chronology leads u s t o today . I t seems s ignificant to remembe r that the ranc h a nd th i s he rd of Arabi ans are approaching the golden anniversary- -5 0 years since Mr . Kel logg f i r s t began a ct ivit i es here . One hal f of th at hal f cent ury represent s the Cal Poly y e ar s. And it is excit ing to realize that today marks the beginning of another era, a commitment that the Arabians wi ll be a part of Cal Poly into t he future . v A great many people have been a pa rt of this effort. On behalf of the FOllildation , I would mention a few : Fi r st, W. K. Kel logg , a man of vi si on and f oresi ght an d wit h t he rar e capacity for turning dreams into tangible real ity ; Dr . Emory W. Morr is , Mr. Kel logg 's val ue d colleague and the long-time l ea de r o f the W. K. Kellogg Foundat i on; and th e f ormer p res ident of Cal Pol y, Dr . Jul ian McPhee , an �5 unusual educator and administrator. These three visionary leaders made the initial commitments. Se co nd , key o f f i c i a l s of the California Univ ersity and College System; The Board of Trustees, Chancellor Dumke, President Kramer, Dean Beckett, and others. This Arabi an horse program i s different, truly uniQue, and many educational leader s would have f ailed to see it s usefulness an d appropriat en ess in the life o f an academic institution. Without their suppor t , nothing could have happen ed; b e ca use of their vi sion and enthusiastic support, this uniQue dimen sion of educ ation has fl ourished. Third, the Arabian Advisory Committee. This group, with those present and those who have s e r ve d in e a r l i er y ear s, has played a key r ole in improving the Cal Poly herd, st r eng t he ni ng t he program in many ways, and fulfil ling Mr. Kellogg's ob j e ct i v e that the Kellogg Arabians would help popularize and contribute to the improveme nt of t he bree d . We a re gr at eful indeed f or their coun sel, service, a nd vari ed contribution s. Finally, Norman K. Dunn, the coordinat or of the Ar abian program, his staff, and the students of Cal Poly f or whom the whole progr am exists. To Norm, Chuck, Allison, Sa ndy , Nancy, I expre ss my congratulations f or th e tremendous j ob you do as staff members of this Center. We are fortunate indeed to have your leadership, Nor m, and t he teamwork and dedi cat e d contributions of all of the s t a f f . And I would espe cially commend the s t udent s , who do such a great job in working with, training, showing, cleaning up a f t e r , loving the se horse s. I predic t that as your lives unfold, s ome o f your f onde st memori es will be o f these days at Cal Poly with t he Kellogg Arabians. �6 VI Mr. Kellogg loved t h i s ran ch an d the se horse s, but hi s gr eatest conc e rn was f or people. He often said, "Education offers the g r eat e s t oppo r t unity f or real l y improving one generation ove r another." Nothing would pl e ase him mor e than t hat his b el oved r anch is now th e campus o f a fine Univer sity-a nd t hat th e Kellogg Ar abians are s uc h an int egral part o f the life of t he Uni versity and its academic program. Therefore, in the s p i r i t which led t o the establi shment of the ran ch and this herd, and in t h e spirit in whi ch the r anch became Cal Poly, I am plea se d on behalf o f the W. K.

OF THOSE FOR EACH OF YOU, THIS IS AN OCCASION LONG AWAITED, ONE INSTANCES IN LIFE WHEN YOU HAVE BOTH A SENSE OF SATISFACTION IN PAST ACHIEVEMENTS AND A SPECIAL EXCITEMENT FOR THE FUTURE. I FEEL PRIVILEGED TO BE SHARING THIS DAY WITH YOU. I WOULD ADD A WORD OF CONGRATULATIONS, ALSO, TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED IN A SIGNIFICANT WAY TO MAKING THIS DAY A REALITY. I THINK FIRST OF PARENTS AND FAMILIES, AND IN SOME INSTANCES HUSBANDS OR WIVES AND CH I LDREN WHO SO OFTEN HAVE SACR I FICED AND SUBORDINATED THEIR PERSONAL INTERESTS TO YOURS IN MAKING IT POSSIBLE �-3- FOR YOU TO STUDY AT ADRIAN COLLEGE AND WHO ARE ENTITLED TO A SIMILAR SENSE OF PRIDEFUL SATISFACTION ON THIS OCCASION. AND I THINK, ALSO, -- OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ADR IAN -- THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE, ESTABLISHING, BUILDING, AND SUSTAINING THIS INSTITUTION, AND THOSE WHO CURRENTLY CARRY FORWARD THIS WORK ... TRUSTEES, FACULTY, OFFICERS AND STAFF, ALUMNI AND FRIENDS. INDEPENDENT, LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES HAVE BEEN AND MUST CONTINUE TO BE A SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT OF OUR PLURALISTIC SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION. YOUR EFFORTS HAVE MADE THIS SO -- AND WI LL CONT INUE TO DO SO I N THE FUTURE. .. TO ALL OF YOU, I ' EXPRESS CONGRATULATIONS AND COMPLIMENTS, FOR YOU, TOO, CAN TAKE PRIDE IN THIS HAPPY OCCASION. II I APPROACH MY ASSIGNMENT TODAY WITH THE SOBERING KNOWLEDGE THAT NOT ONE PERSON CAME HERE COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS. FOR THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF HEARING THE IF WE ARE QUITE HONEST WITH EACH OTHER, EACH OF YOU HAS A MUCH MORE PERSONAL -- AND MORE IMPORTANT -- REASON FOR BEING HERE. AND, IN APPRECIATION OF THAT FACT, I PROPOSE TO INTRUDE �-4- ONLY BRIEFLY UPON YOUR TIME. HABIT, ARE TAKING NOTES, U AND R. LETTERS: W. K. KELLOGG, ASSOCIATED, FORMAL WAS HUH THE FOR THOSE OF HE FROM FORCE OF MY ENTIRE MESSAGE CAN BE SUMMARIZED IN TWO HRH FOR UNDERSTANDING; FOUNDER OF THE STARTED WORK FOR RESPONSIBILITY. FOUNDATION A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN. EDUCATION, YOU WHO, AS WITH WITH ONLY A BROOM WHICH SIX SALESMAN BECAME THE BUSINESS MANAGER OF A HOSPITAL IN BATTLE CREEK. I AM YEARS OF AND THEN AT AGE 46, HE QUIT HIS JOB AND LAUNCHED THE KELLOGG COMPANY, MANUFACTURING READY-TO-EAT BREAKFAST CEREALS. LATE IN HIS LIFE HE DEDICATED HIS WEALTH TO PUBLIC BENEFIT THROUGH THIS FOUNDATION. MADE THE WROTE IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER OF HIS FORTUNE TO THE FOUNDATION, A BRIEF EDUCATIONAL LETTER APPROACH IN HAS WHICH BEEN HE CONCLUDED, EMPHASIZED. HI PARENT, THE TEACHER, THE FAMILY GLAD THAT RAIMENT HE THE AND BUT THE GREATEST GOOD FOR THE GREATEST NUMBER CAN COME ONLY THROUGH THE THE AM RELIEF, SHELTER ARE NECESSARY FOR DESTITUTE CHILDREN, CHILD, IN 1935, WHEN HE EDUCATION OF THE PHYSICIAN, THE DENTIST, �-5- THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL. EDUCATION OFFERS THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY FOR REALLY IMPROVING ONE GENERATION OVER ANOTHER." THAT STATEMENT IS AS TRUE TODAY AS IT WAS FIVE DECADES AGO. DESPITE ALL THE CRITICISMS AND ALL THE QUESTIONING, EDUCATION IS STILL BASIC TO -- OFFERS THE GREATEST OPPORTUN I TY FOR -- HUMAN PROGRESS. AND FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE INDIVIDUAL, EDUCATION IS STILL THE WAY TO A BETTER LIFE. EDUCATION -- RELATED TO BUT NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH COURSES AND CREDITS AND DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS; BUT EDUCATION -THE INQUISITIVE MIND; THE MASTERY OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS; A PATTERN OF IDENTIFYING, ASSEMBLING, ANALYZING, THINKING, PLANNING, AND DOING. FOR SOME OF PARENTS, YOU, PERHAPS HIGHER YOUR EDUCATION GRANDPARENTS BEYOND, HAVE BEEN COLLEGE GRADUATES. IS A FAMILY TRADITION. AND YOUR GREAT-GRANDPARENTS OTHERS OF YOU, ARE THE FIRST OF YOUR FAMILY TO GO TO COLLEGE. AND LIKE MYSELF, IF SO, ADRIAN COLLEGE HAS GIVEN YOU AN OPPORTUNITY YOUR PARENTS DID NOT ENJOY. �-6- WHATEVER THE CASE, ALL OF US WHO ARE THE BENEF ICIAR I ES OF HIGHER EDUCATION SHOULD INDENTURE TO IMPOSE REPAY UPON THAT WHICH OURSELVES HAS THE BEEN STATUS OF BESTOWED AND LIFELONG TO ENSURE SIMILAR BENEFITS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE WHO WILL FOLLOW. SOCIETY IS NOW CRITICALLY REVIEWING ALL OF TRADITIONS, RESOURCES. QUESTIONING OUR PRIORITIES ITS OUR INSTITUTIONS AND AND ALLOCATIONS OF SUPPORT OF EDUCATION AT ALL LEVELS IS BEING CHALLENGED. FOR THE FIRST TIME I N RECENT MEMORY, THE AMER ICAN COMM ITMENT TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES -- AN OPEN DOOR, "' . CHANCE -- SEEMS GENUINELY ENDANGERED. WITH A SECOND HOPEFULLY YOU, WHO ARE AMONG THE PRIVILEGED TO BENEFIT FROM HIGHER EDUCATION, WILL BE ARTICULATE SPOKESMEN AND DEDICATED SUPPORTERS OF EDUCATION TO GUARANTEE COMPARABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE WHO FOLLOW. III AS IN ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF LIFE, WITH PRIVILEGE GOES DUTY, OBLIGATION TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND RESPONSIVE. AND PROFESSIONAL CAREERS WILL BE VARIED. THE YOUR PERSONAL PATHS EACH OF YOU WILL MAKE YOUR �-7- OWN CHOICE (ANOTHER AMERICAN PREROGATIVE WHICH FEW IN THE WORLD SHARE) -- SOME WILL PURSUE FURTHER PROFESSIONAL STUDIES, LEADING TO ADVANCED DEGREES; SOME WI LL GO I NTO BUS I NESS, EITHER SELF-EMPLOYED OR WORK I NG WI TH OTHERS; OTHERS WI LL CHOOSE OPPORTUN I TIES I N THE PUBLIC SECTOR WORKING FOR GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES AT LOCAL, STATE, OR NATIONAL LEVELS; SOME WILL DEDICATE THEIR LIVES TO HUMAN SERVICE, THROUGH THEIR CHURCH OR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS; STILL OTHERS WILL ELECT TO CONTINUE THE ACADEMIC LIFE, IN RESEARCH, TEACHING, OR PUBLIC SERVICE. WHATEVER ROUTE YOU CHOOSE, SOCIETY HAS HIGH EXPECTATIONS -- A GREAT NEED -- FOR YOUR TALENTS. HOPEFULLY, YOU WILL BE SHAKERS AND SHAPERS OF A BETTER TOMORROW. IN THAT REGARD I WILL SHARE WITH YOU BRIEFLY THREE SPECIFIC IDEAS. BUT AS A PREFACE FOR THOSE THOUGHTS, IT WILL BE USEFUL TO PUT OURSELVES, OUR LIVES, OUR TIMES INTO SOME PERSPECTIVE. �8 - EACH OF US HAS STASHED AWAY IN MEMORY CERTA IN L INES -OF POETRY , FROM L ITERATURE , PASSAGES FROM THE B IBLE MEAN ING TO US .

RECENTLY I READ A D ISTURBI NGLY PESSI M ISTIC-BUT PERHAPS D ISTRESS INGLY REAL IST IC -BOOK , ~ INTO THE �-9- HUMAN EROSPECT, L. BY ROBERT THREE ISSUES ABOVE THESE CAN HE I LBRONER. HE I LBRONER SUGGESTS THAT ALL OTHERS SHAPE THE CURRENT HUMAN PREDICAMENT. BE SUMMAR I ZED I N THREE WORDS: POPULAT ION, ENV IRONMENT, WAR. IT WOULD BE NICE IF THESE WERE SIMPLE, DEAL WITH FORCEFULLY AND DIRECTLY. THEY ARE NOT SIMPLE AND NEAT; TIDY THE HUMAN DIFFUSE, THINK CONDITION COMPLEX, OF ANY POLLUTION, THEY THAT ARE THE PERMEATING, CURRENT HEALTH IS ISSUE CARE, OF RURAL SIMULTANEOUSLY, SIMPLISTIC, THE WHICH MAJOR SIGNIFICANCE ENERGY, CONCERN -- US AND ARE GENERALIZED. FOOD SUPPLY, TRANSPORTATION, THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE, THE JUDICIAL FAMILY LIFE, INFLATION, SOLUTIONS DEVISED BY MAN ARE SPECIALIZED, CONFOUNDING ONE OF THE DILEMMAS PROBLEMS UNEMPLOYMENT, DEVELOPMENT, COMPLEX, MULTI-DISCIPLINARY, FEDERAL BUDGET DEFICIT, EDUCATION, SYSTEM, COULD BUT WE IMMEDIATELY SEE THAT COMPOUNDING, COMPREHENSIVE, INTER-RELATED. OF ISSUES THAT WE NARROWLY BASED. WORLD PEACE. USUALLY SPECIFIC, THUS, A SERIOUS �-10- DISCONTINUITY EXISTS BETWEEN THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEMS WHICH CONFRONT US AND THE SOLUTIONS WHICH WE CONTRIVE FOR DEALING WITH THEM. I'LL NOT ELABORATE ON THESE THREE ISSUES, SIMPLY REMIND YOU OF THEM: POPULATION -- A REALIZATION THAT THE GROWTH OF HUMAN POPULATION IS THE PRINCIPAL AND MOST COMPELLING THREAT TO THE SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES (MAN); ENVIRONMENT -- A GROWING APPRECIATION FOR THE FRAGILITY OF THE RELATIONSHIPS MILIEU, WITH AN WITHIN THE AWARENESS EARTH'S OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL MIND-BOGGLING CONSEQUENCES OF OUR ACT IONS, IMPULS IVE OR PREMED ITATED; AND WAR -- WITH NO BETTER REMINDER THAN THE WORDS WRITTEN 350 YEARS AGO BY JOHN DONNE uNO MAN IS AN ISLAND, ENTIRE OF ITSELF; EVERY MAN IS A PIECE OF THE CONTINENT, A PART OF THE MAIN; IF A CLOD BE WASHED AWAY BY THE SEA, EUROPE IS THE LESS, AS WELL AS I F A PROMONTORY WERE, AS WELL AS IF A MANOR OF THY FRIENDS OR OF THINE OWN WERE; ANY MAN'S DEATH DIMINISHES ME, BECAUSE I AM INVOLVED IN MANKIND; AND THEREFORE NEVER SEND TO KNOW FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS; IT TOLLS FOR THEE,u �-11- ;;7 NO MATTER VANTAGE HOW WE POINT WE CHOOSE TO ELECT TO CLASSIFY MAN'S VIEW THEM, CONCERNS, ULTIMATELY IT OR FROM BECOMES WHAT CLEAR THAT THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR GENERATION AND THOSE TO FOLLOW WILL BE DETERMINED BASICALLY WHETHER BY WE OUR PROGRESS THINK IN IN TERMS IMPROVING OF THE HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS. FOR FAMILY, OUR HOME COMMUNITY, OUR STATE OR NATION, OR THE WORLD NEIGHBORHOOD, THE PRIME DETERMINANT OF WHAT LIFE WILL BE LIKE IN THE YEARS AHEAD WILL BE A CONSEQUENCE ANOTHER. OF MAN'S AND THE MOST BE DEPENDENT UPON OUR ABILITY TO LIVE IN HARMONY, ONE WITH IMPORTANT DECISIONS CONFRONTING US WILL NOT BURGEON I NG TECHNOLOGY, BUT I NSTEAD WILL BE VALUE-BASED AND VALUE-LADEN. THE ONLY HOPE FOR CIVILIZED SOCIETY IS THAT MODERN MAN WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN HIS PREDECESSORS IN DEALING WITH HUMAN ASPIRATIONS, REFLECT I NG CONTEMPORARY VALUES. YOUR GENERATION, MORE SHOWS PROMISE OF HAVING THIS COMMITMENT AND CAPACITY. NOT YET BEEN REALLY TESTED. THAN MINE, BUT YOU HAVE �-12- THE REAL TESTING ALTERNATIVES PREPARING -- THE WILL FOR COME EXAMPLE, AMERICAN PEOPLE IN IN TO TANGIBLE THE RESPONSES LEADERSHIP ACCEPT YOU A STATIC TO TOUGH PROVIDE OR IN DECLINING STANDARD OF LIVING IN THE DECADES IMMEDIATELY AHEAD, ADOPTING AN ENTIRELY NEW CONCEPT OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE, SO THAT THE PEOPLES OF OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD EARTH'S FINITE RESOURCES. REFUSE? MAY BENEFIT MORE ABUNDANTLY FROM THE WILL WE DESTROY THE ENVIRONMENT WITH OUR WILL WE SHARE OUR ABUNDANCE WITH THOSE LESS BLESSED? WILL THE HUNGRY OF THE WORLD HAVE FOOD? YOUR SUCCESS WILL BE DETERMINED NOT BY THE ELEGANCE OF YOUR RHETORIC BUT BY THE TANGIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND POLITICAL DECISIONS. IV AND NOW, TO THOSE THREE TANGIBLE AND SPECIFIC CONCERNS WHICH I SHARE WITH YOU AS PERSONS WHO ARE THE BENEFICIARIES OF EDUCATION, WHO ARE �-13 - COMM ITTED TO KNOWLEDGE AND LEARN ING , AND WHO W ILL -IN ONE ROLE OR ANOTHER -BE SHAPERS OF THE FUTURE . F IRST , THE CHALLENGE OF KNOWLEDGE UT IL IZAT ION , THE APPL ICAT ION OF KNOWLEDGE TO PROBLEMS OF PEOPLE . WE ~ ) CR IM INAL BETTER THAN WE DQ . JUST ICE , H ISTORY , INMOST AREAS OF HUMAN ENDEAVOR , WHETHER YOUR CAREER INTERESTS BE IN THE PERFORM ING ARTS , ENG INEER ING , TEACH ING , BUS INESS , FAM ILY L IFE , SOC IOLOGY , HEALTH , OR WHAT HAVE YOU , WE MUST SOMEHOW MOB IL IZE KNOWLEDGE RESOURCES IN NEW AND CREAT IVE WAYS TO DEAL EFFECT IVELY W ITH HUMAN CONCERNS . IN THE COMPLEX L IFE OF TODAY AND TOMORROW , THE RESOURCES OF ANY ONE D ISC IPL INE , BODY OF KNOWLEDGE , OR INADEQUATE TO DEAL EFFECT IVELY W ITH ORGAN IZAT ION ARE USUALLY S IGN IF ICANT ISSUES . YOUR GENERAT ION MUST P IONEER IN BLEND ING THE R ICHNESS OF SPEC IAL IZED F IELDS OF STUDY INTO MORE EFFECT IVE PATTERNS FOR DEC IS ION AND ACT ION . �-14- SECOND, THE CHALLENGE OF LIFELONG LEARNING. INDEED SIMPLER. 11'.1 THE PAST, My GENERATION COULD APPROACH LIFE IN THREE NEAT BLOCKS -- GO TO SCHOOL, GO TO WORK, OUT TO PASTURE. WHOLE HOST BURGEONING OF REASONS, KNOWLEDGE, COMPLEXITY OF ISSUES, THAT THE THE PATTERN IS ACCELERATING NO RATE INTERRELATEDNESS OF LONGER OF LIFE WAS NOW, FOR A ADEQUATE CHANGE, -THE HUMAN EXPERIENCES. YOu AS EDUCATED PERSONS MUST DEMONSTRATE A COMMITMENT TO LIFELONG LEARNING, INCORPORATING IN YOUR OWN LIFE A CONTINUING INTERACTION BETWEEN WORK, FAMILY, LEISURE, AND LEARNING. AND FINALLY, THAT THIRD CHALLENGE, lNVOLVEMENT. EFFECTIVE DEMOCRACY REQUIRES INGREDIENT INDIVIDUAL INVOLVEMENT. A UNIQUE OF OUR AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE IS VOLUNTEERISM, THOSE THINGS WHICH INDIVIDUALS DO VOLUNTARILY, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO. MARGARET MEAD HAS OBSERVED: �-15UWE LIVE IN A SOCIETY THAT ALWAYS HAS DEPENDED ON VOLUNTEERS OF DIFFERENT KINDS -- SOME WHO CAN GIVE MOI\IEY, OTHERS WHO GIVE TIME, AND A GREAT MANY WHO FREELY GIVE THEIR SKILLS, FULL-TIME OR PART-TIME. CLOSELY, THAT REALLY EMBODIES HUMAN YOU OUR LIFE WILL SEE THAT IF YOU LOOK ALMOST MATTERS TO DEEPEST COMMITMENT SHOULD BE US, LIVED SPECIAL ANYTHING ANYTHING AND TO THE CARED THAT WAY FOR, DEPENDS ON SOME FORM -- MORE OFTEN MANY FORMS -- OF VOLUNTEERISM. u THIS FACT GIVES A DISTINCTIVELY HUMANE QUALITY TO LIFE IN AMERICA. BUT ONLY IF WE CONTINUE TO RENEW THE uHABITS OF THE HEART,u TO USE THE TITLE OF A RECENT BOOK BY ROBERT BELLAH. THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT WAY LET ME SUGGEST TO YOU IN WHICH YOUR LIFE WILL BE MEASURED ULTIMATELY IS BY THE WAYS IN WHICH YOU SPEND YOUR LEISURE TIME. BE SURE, TO SOME TIME MUST BE SPENT IN HOBBIES AND OTHER FORMS OF RELAXATION. BUT LET ME ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPEND AS MUCH OF IT AS YOU CAN I N PAY I NG BACK THE SOC I ETY THAT ALREADY HAS GIVEN SO MUCH TO YOU. YOUR PROFESSION NEEDS YOU, BEYOND THE MANDATE OF THE JOB, TO �-16 - RA ISE THE LEVEL OF PROFESS IONAL PERFORMANCE AND ETH ICS . YOUR COMMUN ITY NEEDS YOU , TO SERVE ON NONPROF IT BOARDS AND IN OTHER WAYS TO CONTR IBUTE TO BETTER ING THE HUMAN COND IT ION . YOU , TO F ILL POS IT IONS OF PUBL IC TRUST . YOUR NAT ION NEEDS I HOPE THAT YOU W ILL QUI CKLY BEGINTO REPAY YOUR "DEBT TO SOCI ETY." I W ILL GUARANTEE THAT TH IS PARADOX IS TRUE : GET . THE MORE YOU G IVE , THE MORE YOU W ILL AND THE MORE YOU G IVE , THE MORE SUCCESSFUL YOU WI LL BECOME . By YOUR CONSTRUCT IVE INVOLVEMENT , BOTH YOU AND SOC IETY W ILL BENEF IT . IN PREPARAT ION FOR SUCH RESPONS IB IL ITY , YOU ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE ~ BEEN STUDENTS AT ADR IAN COLLEGE -AN INDEPENDENT , L IBERAL ARTS t ' INST ITUT ION : INDEPENDENT -TANG IBLE EV IDENCE OF THE PLURAL IST IC COMM ITMENT OF AMER ICA , THAT PR IVATE AS WELL AS PUBL IC EFFORTS SERVE SOC IETY 'S H IGHEST GOALS , EVEN IN AN AGE WHEN GOVERNMENT ISEVER MORE ~ _ : -~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DOM INANT AND DOM INEER ING ;/1AND L IBERAL ARTS -I1\J FURTHERANCE OF THE CONCEPT OF THE "EDUCATED MAN . " �-17- v WHILE THE PROSPECTS OF AN UNKNOWN FUTURE MAY BE SOMBER, THE CHALLENGE -- AND THE POTENTIAL -- OF TOMORROW ARE AS DEMANDING AND AS EXHILARATING AS EVER. CHARACTERISTIC, IT'S IN AN AGE WHEN BIGNESS AND COMPLEXITY SEEM IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN A PROPER PERSPECTIVE. WHEN THE REALITIES OF THE EVERYDAY WORLD SEEM ALMOST OVERWHELMING, I FIND THE FOLLOWING A USEFUL REMINDER: I AM ONLY ONE, BUT I AM ONE; I CAN'T DO EVERYTHING, BUT I CAN DO SOMETHING; AND WHAT I CAN DO, I OUGHT TO DO; AND WHAT I OUGHT TO DO, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I WILL DO. IN TOO MANY FACETS OF OUR LIVES, BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND AS A NATION, WE SEEM TO HAVE LOST SOMETHING OF OUR SENSE OF PURPOSE, SELF-CONFIDENCE, OUR DIRECTION, OUR FAITH AND COMMITMENT. EXTENT THIS BE TRUE, IT CAN BE REMEDIED ONLY BY THE OUR TO THE DEEDS OF �-18- INDIVIDUALS WHO -- IN WHATEVER THEIR ROLE AND IN EVERY DIMENSION OF LI FE -- UNDERSTAND AND RESPOND. KNOW; WE MUST ALSO DO. IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND OR IF EACH OF US WILL DO WHAT WE CAN DO AND - OUGHT TO DO, WE WILL INDEED BE SERVING MAN'S HIGHER PURPOSE. TO EACH OF YOU IN THIS ADRIAN COLLEGE CLASS OF 1990, GODSPEED IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL CAREER AND -- MORE IMPORTANTLY -- IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.

With the increasing complexities of life and the accelerating process of change, the challenge to such a professional gr oup becomes ever greater. By comparison, the W. K. Kellog g Foundation is a mere youngster, marking its 50th Anniversary next year. For half of that time span, we have been involved in Ireland and I have been asked today to discuss the contribution of the Foundation to Irish science and agriculture. In doing so I will describe the twenty different grants we have made to eight organizations and institutions in Ireland. These grants over the 25 years since 1954 have totaled $3,465,925, larger by far than the amount to any other European country. The theme for my remarks today, "The Greatest Opportunity," comes from a letter written by Mr. Kellogg. In 1935, when he made the irrevocable trans fer of his fortune to the Foundation, he summarized the events which led to the establishment of the Foundation in 1930 and commented on the five-year initial trial period during which he made his final judgment as to the efficacy of committing his wealth in this way. letter His concluded, "I am glad that the educational approach has been emphasized. Relief, raiment, and shelter are necessary for destitute children, but the greatest good for the greatest number can come only through the education of the child, the parent, the teacher, the family physician, the dentist, and the community in general. Education offers the gr ea t e s t opportunity for really improving one generation over another." That conviction continues to characterize Foundation activities, in Ireland and elsewhere, for we feel that concept is as valid today as it was four decades ago. Despite all the criticisms a nd all the questioning about the structure and functioning of educational systems and institutions, education is still basic to--offers the �3 greatest opportunity for--human progress. And from the standpoint of the individual, education is still the way to a better life. Education--related to but not synonymous with courses and credits and degrees and credentials; but education--the inquisitive mind; the mastery of knowledge and skills; a pattern of identifying, assembling, analyzing, thinking, planning, and doing. As we move in a moment to review the grants we have made in Ireland, you will be conscious of that central conviction. But I think it will be useful for me to share first with you some information about W. K. Kellogg and the Foundation he established. II Understandably, there is much confusion about the relationship between the Kellogg Company and the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. Each is an independent corporation, completely autonomous in purpose and management. The Foundation, a philanthropic institution, is a consequence of the success of the Company, a for-profit manufacturing concern. The common element in these two enter- prises is in their founder, W.. K. Kellogg. Mr. Kellogg was born in the small midwestern town of Battle Creek, Michigan, in 1860. The family had moved frequently and successively westward and gravitated to Battle Creek because it was a focal point of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. Mr. Kellogg had only six years of formal education and began work at an early age as a salesman for his father's broom-making business. His older brother, John Harvey Kellogg, completed medical school and as a physician became director of the hospital and clinic established in Battle Creek by the Adventist Church. Dr. Kellogg soon named his younger brother, Will, to be the business manager of the hospital-sanitarium. Thus, Mr. Kellogg's first career was that of a hospital administrator. �4 The Battle Creek Sanitarium flourished under the able leadership of the two Kellogg brothers. Dr. John Harvey Kellogg was an able physician, an imaginative entrepreneur, a charismatic leader. W. K. dealt efficiently and effectively with the operational and financial details of the enterprise. A part of the Adventist regimen emphasized health promotion and disease prevention and included a vegetarian diet. It was this emphasis that led the Kellogg brothers to experiment with new ways to serve cereals. Through a fortuitous accident, this led to the leavening of the grain, and ultimately to flaking and drying in various ways. These new cereal products became very popular with Sanitarium patients and Will began to see commercial possibilities for merchandising them through retail outlets. His brother, however, was reluctant to expand the enterprise in this way. Finally, in 1906 when he was 46 ye~rs old, Will quit his job at the Sanitarium and launched the Kellogg Company, producing corn flakes as a ready-to-eat breakfast cereal. He was an ingenious merchandiser and intro- duced many innovations in marketing: attractive packaging; personal endorsements -- "The original has this signature;" extensive advertising in magazines and newspapers, and later, radio and television; free samples; box top promotions; and a persistent emphasis upon cereals as good nutrition and a part of a good diet. He dealt dramatically with serious difficulties which would have discouraged a lesser man. A fire destroyed his factory soon after it was established. Before the embers were cold, he was on a train to Chicago to secure financing for the construction ofa bigger and more modern facility. ~~en economic depression caused many businessmen to retrench, �5 h eb o l d l y exp and ed h i sa d v e r t i s i n gp rog r am s and i n v e s t e di nn ew p r o d u c t d ev e lopm en t and m a rk e t e x p a n s i o n .

Usually, seven to nine trustees are They make policy decisions and act upon the funding recommendations of the staff. The Foundation staff, includingfulltime salaried officers, program directors and secretarial and clerical personnel, numbers fifty people. The twelve program staff members are all expert by training and experience in the fields of interest of the Foundation. Concerned with responsible stewardship and efficient administration, administrative costs are kept to less than five percent of our total expenditures. The Foundation focuses its program activities in three broad areas of interest: Agriculture, Education, and Health. One immediately realizes that these fields of interest are broad and interrelated. In agriculture, our concerns are with food supply and with the quality of rural life. Programs in education stress the concept. of lifespan education from birth throughout life, and involve formal and informal courses of study, credit and non-credit programs of instruction, experiential learning, and continuing professional education. In health our concerns are with health promotion-disease prevention and with the availability of quality health care services to all people at reasonable cost. Involved are all of the health professions such as medicine, dentistry, nursing, allied health fields, and health services administration; and health delivery systems, including health care institutions such as hospitals. Geographically, we make grants throughout North and South America, Northern Europe, and Australia. Periodically our Board of Trustees con- siders the expansion of our activities to other continents, such as Africa or Asia, and I suspect at some point we will extend the geographic scope of �7 our work. To date, however, it is the judgment of our Board that we should concentrate our resource allocations so that we make a significant contribution in those countries with which we are involved rather than dispersing our efforts too broadly. In terms of size, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation is the second, third, or fourth largest in the world, depending on the market value of investment portfolios on any given date. Since its founding in 1930, the Foundation has distributed all of it s income in grants, totaling now nearly $500 million. At the same time, because of the appreciation of our assets, the value of our corpus has increased from about $45 million at time of gift to about $825 million now. Our income, and therefore our disbursements in the cur - rent year, will be about $45 million. Historically, the scale of Foundation income has doubled every eight to ten years. Fortunately, in recent years, increases in income have exceeded the rate of inflation. Thus, the Foundation's grant-making capacity has increased in real as well as current t erms. While these resources may seem large, they of course are very modest in relation to human problems existing in the world or even in the re gions of the world in which our work is concentrated. And the number of requests coming to us for very worthwhile purposes and efforts far exceeds our capacity to respond. continually review Thus, the Foundation Board of Trustees and staff program priorities and has evolved policies and pro- cedures which seem to best serve our philanthropic purposes. In si gnificant ways the pattern of the Foundation's work is a reflection of the interests and character "o f our founder. Mr. Kellogg, a successful businessman, �8 was an equally practical, pragmatic, and ingenious philanthropist. He was deeply concerned for the well-being of people, with a particular passion for children and youth. He was concerned not with providing charity or welfare, but with "helping people to help themselves." Thus, certain guidelines shape our operations. First, we are concerned with people--as individuals, as families, as communities, as nations, as humankind. Ours is a problem-solving approach, attempting to identify issues which are of vital human concern and whose resolution will contribute in significant ways to human well-being. We are not concerned with institutions and organizations and facilities per se. Rather, we recognize these as human creations, simply means to ultimate ends. Thus, we do not make grants to colleges or universities or hospitals or associations or departments or institutes simply for their preservation and continuation but rather for the specific purposes they choose to serve, the goals they propose to ·reach. And our concern is not with the fostering of particular professions or disciplines or interests but rather with their ultimate contribution to society. Second, our preoccupation is with knowledge utilization, the application of knowledge to the problems of people. In most areas of human concern and endeavor, we "know better than we do." In general, more knowledge resources are available than are usually incorporated in programs of instruction or courses of action. One of mankind's greatest challenges is to somehow mobilize that which is already known in more imaginative and effective ways to serve human purposes. or studies per se. Thus, by policy we do not ·s uppor t research But neither do we spend time arguing semantics. Many feel that the experimental programs we assist are really applied research �9 or action research; we agree, and insist that experimental programs be thoroughly and objectively evaluated. Through such action programs, lessons are learned and experiences are documented for sharing with others. Third, we feel that most problems require interdisciplinary action if they are to be dealt with effectively. Consider any current issue of major significance--food supply, pollution, health care, energy, transportation, education, international trade, the judicial system, rural development, family life, world peace. It would be nice if significant human concerns were simple, tidy issues that could be dealt with forcefully and directly. But we immediately see that they are not simple; instead, they are complex, confounding and compounding, comprehensive, interrelated. Simultaneously, the solutions devised by man are usually specific, simplistic, specialized, narrowly based. The resources of anyone discipline, department, body of knowledge, or organization are usually inadequate to deal effectively with significant issues. A serious discontinuity usually exists between the nature of the problems which confront us and the solutions which we contrive for dealing with them. Thus, we encourage imaginative and new ways of bringing together resources from varied fields to deal more effectively with human concerns. Fourth, because worthy causes and significant needs exceed our resources, we are concerned with supporting experimental efforts which, if- successful, can be replicated elsewhere and will serve as useful models to others confronted with similar problems. We recognize the unusual costs often involved in experimentation and the risk which accompanies innovation. the same time, we are concerned that the ultimate model be realistic and At �10 economically feasible once its merits are demonstrated. There can be no greater disservice to any institution or organization than to encourage or enable it to do something beyond its ultimate capacity. Finally, through experience we have settled on certain pragmatic funding policies which we feel represent wise stewardship and sound philanthropy. The Foundation does not support operational phases of established programs; does not make grants for capital facilities, conferences, publications, or films unless they are an integral phase of a project the Foundation is assisting; does not contribute to endowments or developmental campaigns; and does not make grants to individuals except for fellowships which relate to specific areas of Foundation programming. This then is the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. A private foundation is a human creation, a legal mechanism by which a person of unusual means can direct his wealth to public benefit. The Kellogg Foundation reflects much of its founder--his character, his convictions, his dreams. Hopefully, this perspective will help you to understand the decisions we have made regarding our assistance in Ireland.

Our first letter from Miss Gahan is dated June 10, 1952, and in part reads as follows: "At your kind invitation we now have pleasure in sending relevant information about our proposed residential college, or 'Centre' as we, so far, have less ambitiously called it, in the hope that your Foundation may think it worthy of support." Thus began our first " I r i s h connection. " With Foundation assistance the Irish Countrywomen's Association acquired the Tearmann Hotel near Dro gheda. Our initial payment, the first in Ireland, was made in the spring of 1954. Tr an s f or ma t i on of t he hotel into a residential college commenced immediately. Of course, there were problems and unexpected difficulties. Even then costs exceeded estimates; dry rot presented tions; delays were frustrating. expensive complica- But on October 14, the new residential college An Grianan was formally opened by President O'Kelly. If our records are correct, the first courses were held at An Grianan beginning that fall of 1954 and included topics such as Your Garden, Cooking for Christmas, Drama and Playreading, Hedgerow Basketry, A Rural Leaders Course, and other topics over an amazing range of interests. This program of adult educ ation has continued to flourish through the past quarter century. Adult courses, usually of a week's duration, are now offered the year around. They are primarily for Association members but are open to others as well. year, 125 courses were presented to over 2,000 participants. Last Receiving no governmental assistance, the program has been self-supporting through tuition for courses, guild contributions, and the sale of various produce on the grounds. �14 In 1967, the Association responded to a national need for horticultural technicians by developing a horticultural college at An Grianan. The two- year course of study provides employment opportunity for young women and the practical portion of the course work produces crops which assist in meeting the overhead costs of the Grianan operation. The horticultural college facilities were constructed by a combination of Foundation assistance and matching funds from the Irish Department of Agriculture. The new program was received enthusiastically and has operated over capacity from the very beginning. Originally designed for 30 students, the college has regularly accepted and trained 35-40 young women each year. Their records have been outstanding in school and on the job, and graduates of the program continue to be in great demand. This year the Irish Countrywomen's Association observes the An Grianan Silver Jubilee. Over that quarter of a century, the impact of this educa- tional component of the Association's activities has reached every corner of Ireland. We have been tremendously impressed with the variety and quality of educational offerings, with the participation by women of all ages and with effective teaching and follow-through in local guild programs. We have marveled also at the way in which the Association has used Foundation funds to maximum advantage, with prudence and rare good judgment. has accomplished a lot. Each dollar Because of our admiration for their accomplishments and our appreciation for purposes yet to be served, we have recently made an additional grant to the Association of $875,000, $600,000 for enlarging and refurbishing the residential conference center and $275,000 for expansion and improvement of the facilities of the horticultural college. We are con- fident that these funds will be as wisely used as have been those provided earlier. �15 In writing in 1953 of plans to establish the College, Miss Gahan said, "We have called our committee the Grianan Committee. Grianan is an Irish word that through age-old usage has come to mean 'the women's sunny place.' We like this idea for our College." Certainly reality has been consistent with the dream--a "sunny 'place" in the lives of many. The second major component of Foundation assistance in Ireland began to take shape also in the mid-1950s. This was the initiation of a fellow- ship program to provide advance study opportunities to promising young professionals. Fellowships have traditionally been an important part of our programming, in the United States and elsewhere. This reflects our concern for people and our recognition that people are the most important element in progress. No dollars are better spent than those which provide for the nurturing of bright young minds. Thus, we developed with officials of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries a fellowship .program with the following objectives: 1. To provide better prepared professional personnel for research, teaching, and extension responsibilities in the broad field of agriculture; 2. To improve professional education and to stimulate research through the strengthening of the faculties and other facilities of professional schools; and 3. To increase international understanding by serving as a medium for the exchange of knowledge and establishment of acquaintanceships between citizens of the United States and Ireland. During the years from 1957 through 1973, 107 fellowships were provided for professionals who had completed an undergraduate program of study, �16 were under 35 years of age, and were assured by a cooperating agency or institution of a post-fellowship position. Of the total, 94 were long-term fellowships of one to three years' duration leading to an advanced degree; 13 were short-term fellowships, providing a three- to six-month study tour pro gram. Seventy-three fellows completed a master's degree and 13 a doctor of philosophy degree. The specialty fields of study ranged alaphabetically from agricultural economics and agricultural engineering through dairy science, poultry genetics, rural sociology, and soil physics to specialties in veterinary medicine. In addition to this major fellowship program, fellowship funds were also provided as a part of program support to the Irish Countrywomen's Association, Macra na Feirme and Macra na Tuaithe, the Agricultural Institute, University College-Dublin, and University College-Cork. We were impressed with the Fellows in their programs of study. We have continued to keep in touch with most of these young women and men and feel they have made a useful contribution in their respective professional roles, hopefully enhanced by the fellowship experience and the network of professional contacts established. I mentioned earlier that Mr. Kellogg had a particular interest in youngsters. to play." He often commented that, "\\Tflen I was a child I never learned He therefore had a special interest in brightening young lives. If you have seen the stage production or the movie "Auntie Marne," you will remember Marne as a colorful character who loved life and lived it fully. Her philosophy was summarized late in the play when, as she and her young nephew were departing for an around-the-world trip, Auntie Marne said, "I'll open doors for you, doors you never even dreamed existed." �17 E x p e r i e n c e sl i k et h a ta r eim p o r t a n ti nyoung l i v e s .T h eK e l logg Found a t ion h a sh ad a l o to fe x p e r i e n c ew i t h4 -H C l u b s ,Y o u n g F a rm e r sC l u b s ,B o yS c o u t s , and o t h e ry o u t h s e r v i n gp rog r am s .

In 1969, based upon the e ffective utilization of assistance in the earlier grant and progr ess of the intervening years, the Foundation provided a second five-year period of assistance to Macra na Tuaithe, which had by then become independent of the parent organization. This second grant provided for the initiation of a system of regional youth officers, with four permanently established during the period of Foundation support. In addition, the national headquarters office was established at the Irish Farm Centre and a training program was designed and implemented. This in- cluded staff training and development, volunteer leader training, and youth training. In the summary report of the second five-year development program, officers of Macra na Tuaithe stated, "We consider that the increased involvement on a voluntary basis of parents and other adults in the Macra na Tuaithe program is one of the major outcomes of the five-year development program. It appears to have resulted from our efforts in program implementation which in turn were heavily influenced by the staff training endeavors of the past few years. We now work on the consciously held assumption that a you t h development program must operate alongside a complementary adult education pro gram as an integral part of community development." In the years since Foundation assistance ended, Macra na Tuaithe has continued to expand and improve its educational programs and structure. Sustaining such an informal educational organization with limited funding and with volunteer leaders is a difficult and demanding commitment. The leaders of Macra na Tuaithe have, however, been persistent and successful. �19 The more important measure, however, is in the lives of the countless youngsters for whom "new doors" of opportunity have been opened. As the Foundation continued to be involved in Ireland with these a c t i v i t i e s , extensive conversations were carried on with leaders of the Faculty of Agriculture at University College, Dublin, and in the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries regarding other priority concerns. Because of the Foundation's traditional concern with technology transfer and the application of knowledge to problems of people and communities, these conversations ultimately led to consideration of the establishment of a program of preservice and inservice training for advisory service per sonnel. In 1967 the College received Foundation funds to assist in establishing its Department of Agricultural Extension. In a special report issued by the University in 1977, at the end of a decade of Foundation assistance, the evolution of the concept of the training centre was summarized as follows: "The history of training in agricultural extension in Ireland goes back to the early 1960s when the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries began to provide some inservice training courses in advisory methods. The broad aim of these initial courses was to make advisers aware of techniques which would make their work more effective. Early courses focused on such topics as Writing for the Farmer, Classroom Presentations and Group Methods. "Over the years the emphasis in advisory work changed from advising on specific problems to the management of the farm as a commercial business. As this change developed, it became apparent that the adviser should be concentrating on helping the farmer and his family acquire the knowledge �20 and skills to enable them to operate newer farming systems and techniques successfully. Such an approach would promote more integrated and systematic farming development. "This broader, more comprehensive approach to advisory work would involve the adviser in a more systematic way in the planning and selection of advisory methods and in the more efficient use of his own time and of advisory resources. This approach which came to be known as programming was a complex undertaking which required continuous long-term development and considerable training for the members of the service. It also became apparent that worthwhile progress in such an undertaking could not be achieved without the involvement of the University." Visiting professors were helpful in the early days of the Centre, as faculty members undertook advanced study in Extension Education. The post- graduate courses of the Centre evolved into two major patterns: Course A with emphasis on a technical field. In this option, one-third of the student's work was devoted to the subject of programming and communications and the remainder to a study of the technical subject-matter area. Each student undertook a research project in his own technical field. Course B with emphasis on extension education. In this option, students devoted all of their time to the study of the education process as applied to the area of agricultural extension and completed a research project in this area. In addition, the Centre staff undertook the initiation of an inservice training program for various categories of personnel in the Advisory Service. These pro- grams have included chief agricultural officers, farm home advisers, instructors �21 from pilot areas, and personnel of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries. In addition, special update workshops were held for graduates of the Centre program. Foundation funds were used by the College in a variety of ways in pursuing its ultimate purpose of establishing postgraduate training in Agricultural Extension as an integral part of the Faculty of Agriculture. This objective was accomplished when the Department of Agricultural Extension was established in 1974 as the seventh department of the Faculty. The courses of study offered by the staff at both the undergraduate and graduate levels were approved by the ,Faculty and the Academic Council of University College as well as the General Board of Studies of the National University of Ireland. In addition, the staff of the Department became involved in significant ways in the activities and functions of the faculty and the University. Thus, this new component of agricultural education, intended to facilitate the transfer of new technology from researcher to farmer was successfully integrated into the life of the University. It is one of a network of Foundation- assisted such centres in England, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. In 1971, probably a consequence at least in part of the Fellowship Program and the activities of the Department of Agricultural Extension, the Faculty of Agriculture requested Foundation support in undertaking a comprehensive curriculum design and development project. Among the considerations which prompted the Faculty to undertake this comprehensive effort were the following: Advancing technology in agricultural sciences; changing require- ments and opportunities for university graduates in agriculture; rapid changes in all facets of the agricultural industry; a substantial increase in recent �22 years in the numbers of students studying agriculture at the university level, the size of teaching staff, and agricultural research output directly related to agriculture in Ireland; ongoing changes and improvements in physical resources and facilities of the University for providing curricula in agriculture; and program activities of the Agricultural Extension Centre, which increased staff awareness of ideas, procedures and opportunities for examining and redesigning curricula and for improving the learning experiences of University students. Undertaking a thorough review of a major curriculum area like that encompassed in the Faculty of Agriculture was an ambitious and arduous task. We were impressed that leaders of the Faculty gave priority to such a process and prepared a very comprehensive and detailed procedure for accomplishing their objectives over a five-year period. While Foundation funds provided for an executive secretary and clerical services, necessary supplies, equipment and library resources, study tours for faculty members, and consultants for specific phases of the process, the primary investment was of faculty time, usually in addition to normal teaching and research assignments. We were impressed indeed with the attitude which prevailed throughout the process and with the constructive approach which generally characterized individual and collective efforts. Hopefully the changes have been worthwhile and a system for continuing curriculum examination, adaptation, and adjustment has become an integral part of the life of the faculty. The final area of Foundation concentration in Ireland is related to the development of the professional fields of food science and food technology. Because of the importance of agriculture to the Irish economy and the significance of food exports, it seemed to Irish agricultural leaders that the �23 development o f this competence could add a significant new dimension to Irish agricultural industry. Thus, since 1969, the Foundation has provided assistance to University College, Cork, in implementing a food science and technology pro gram. The Foundation first made modest funds available for a consultant to help conceptualize a nd develop a food science and technology curriculum based on UCC's existing dairy science and food and microbiology programs. A number of courses have been a dop t ed for the new program, although the introduction of new offerings was limited by faculty shortages. To assist in strengthening the professional faculty, four faculty members participated in a Foundation-aided Irish Fellowship Program and an additional three obtained advanced degrees in food science and technology in th e United States. After several delays caused by financial and construction problems, a new food science and t e chnology fa cility was inaugurated in January of this year. Throughout the development of this new curriculum, students at UCC have evidenced great interest, with more than 150 individuals per year now applying for admission. Based upon the College's success in designing the new curriculum and constructing an adequate facility, the Foundation has recently made a major grant to University College, Cork, which has not yet been publicly announc ed by the University. This support over a five-year period will provide faculty inservice training, fellowships for advanced study abroad, visiting faculty, postdoctoral fellowships for faculty exchange with other countries, a nd the purchase of sophisticated equipment such as food analysis instrumentation. While the first payment of this new commitment has not yet been made because of postal service delays , we are confident that this support over �24 the next five years will mak e a further substantial contribution to agricultural pro gress in Ireland. There, in br ief, is the record of Ireland a nd the W. K. Kellogg Foundation -- 25 years, $3.5 million, 20 grants to 8 institutions and organizations. Worthwhile? We think so. Other choices could have been made, for f ar more good proposals have been presented to us than we could fund. Hopefully our bit of assistance has furthered your efforts in useful ways--brought a bou t the inevitable a bit sooner, more completely, with greater substance. IV A private foundation like the W. K. Kellogg Foundation is a product of the for-p rofit, free enterprise system. It is a component of a pluralistic approach to human progress--voluntary private initiative for the public good, complementing the functions of the compulsary tax-supported sector of society. "Education -- the greatest opportunity for really improving one generation over another." His conviction to that notion led Mr. Kellogg to commit his fortune to the promotion of human well-being through "the application of knowled ge to the problems of people." Now, as then, it is apparent that -- Learning is the means by which we both accomplish and accommodate to change Learning is for life, in all its facets -For career or profession, For citizenship responsibilities, For f ami l y roles ) For leisure avocation, For self-fulfillment in an increasingly complex world. �25 Learning is lifelong, from the cradle through the twilight years. Each must develop a pattern of study and intellectual exploration which becomes a part of life, ensuing a lifelong interaction among work, learning. leisure, and family. We commend you for your progress toward such ends. We look forward to continuing relationships in pursuit of Ireland's further goals.

In conse- quence, illany positive changes have taken place in recent months. But this little anecdote of a true experience summarizes many of the things which this country. conce~n us about the health care delivery system in We are concerned with issues vh ich are described in phrases like accessibility, continuity, comprehensiveness, and quality of care; delivery systems; financing arrangements; a corrmunity and preventive dimension to our health systems; operational effectiveness. Relating further specifically to the rural scene, certain issues come to the fore: - The critical shortage of health wanpower -- physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, allied health personnel, etc. - Distances to health resources the "s oc i a.L cost" of space. - The distressed situation of many rural hospitals -- losing medical staffs, inadequate professional and auxiliary personnel, declining patient populations -- with many institutions on the verge of bankruptcy. - Health professionals increasingly concerned with professional "isolation" in rural practice--with the parallel desire to locate where there is ease of referral and the stimulation of professional contact, with easier access to a wide range of resources. You know these problems and others better than I--and many of your sessions here will focus on solutions to such specific issues. �4 I I I Th eW . K .

IV To comment briefly on innovations which may contribute to improved health care in rural communities, it is necessary to refer back to the problems which concern us--issues such as access and availability of care, continuity and comprehensiveness of care, productivity of various elements of the system, cost and financing, quality. With these central issues in mind, from our vantage point we see such promising opportuniti es as the following: �7 1. Reo.!:f:ani zation of ambulatory healt..h services mray from an endless series of specialty-oriented clinics to a more comprehensive family-centered health service unit utilizing such qualified personnel as nurse practitioners and physicians assistants for health mainten ance functions, preventive health programs, and long-term supervision of chronic conditions. 2. Development of institution-based (hospital) outreach programs, such as home care, primary care clinics in under-served areas, and appropriate linkages or relationships with other care providers, such as nursing homes. 3. Development of rational patterns f or handling true emergency medical problems, with the division of labor among institutions along rational lines and with an integrated transportation and communications system. 4. Development of effective programs of in-patient education for illness management, with an improvement of the patient's understanding of his problem and the procedures that will be performed, and with an emphasis upon the patient's appropriate responsibility for his individual rehabilitation and continuing health maintenance. 5. Further development and systemization of the relat.ionship of education and service in the health fields.

Whenever resources are scarce in relation to ne eds, the usual situation in rural areas, ever bet t e r manag ement is . i required as priorities are estatlished and allocations made. A long-standing orientation of this Foundation has been to improved management and a dmi n i s t r at ion , in the health fields as well as in other fields of Foundation ende avor. We have been particularly impressed with bene- fits achieved through sharing of services by hospitals and the application of management engineering techniques in the liealth care delivery system. 9. Elaboration of the role of the trust ee in the health care system. The institutional board of trustees, if representative, well qualified, and well informed, is an essential element in responsive institutional administration. Trustees can assist in keeping the endeavor oriented to the ultimate p~poses of the institution, above the more vested interests of the institution itself, its professional components, and its personnel. One could go on virtually ad infinitum with innovative options. But underlying issues such as these are two basic considerations: A. The problem of fragmentation, both in terms of care as it is available to the individual person and fragmentation of efforts of the various elements of our health system. There is almost a desparate need for greater cooperation and coordination of the efforts of the individuals, institutions, and organizations involved with rural health--health departments, state and local; hospitals and other institutions, public and private; �10 p r o f e s s i o n a l s ,b o t hi n d i v i d u a l l yandt h r ough t h e i rO l "g an i z a t i o n s ;e d u c a t i o n a li n s t i t u t i o n s ,i n c l u di n gc o l l e g e sand u n i v e r s i t i e s ,f o u r y e a randtw o y e a ri n s tit u t i o n s ,p u b l i c andp r i v a t e .

"Indeed, if all Americans could be convinced to adopt a healthful style of life--eating correctly, not smoking, controlling pollutants, driving safely--the positive effect of the nation's health would be far mor e dramatic than could be accomplished through the construction of thousands of new hospitals and the production of many thousands of additional physicians." There is some slight encouraging evidence that progress may be forthcoming in this area. For example, in 1969 the Michigan Legisla- ture enacted the "Critical Health Problems Education Bill." This legislation provides for health education for Michigan youth in elementary and secondary schools, including sucr. areas as mental health; dental health; vision care; drugs, narcotics, alcohol, tobacco; disease prevention and control; accident prevention; nutrition. Hopefully this dimension of education will be incorporated in our local school systems. Another encouraging step in health education is an apparent recommitment to health education by the Cooperative Extension Service. As you know, the Extension Service has personnel and programs serving every county in the United States. With appropriate linkage to university resources in the medical-health fields and close relationships with local professionals and institutions, this Extension emphasis should �12 represent a very positive influence in fostering proerams of health education. You have other ideas, too, that are being us ed in your local communities; programs and displays of hospital auxiliaries, health museums, special health education activities. But what we need is a positive and comprehensive approach to health education. v In rural health, as in most ar-eas of human endeavor, we know better than we do. The challenge is to use that which is known, to utilize fully the know.Ledge resources which are available. We need not more plans but more action; not more criti'lues and critics but better examples. This requires imagination, innovation, creativity, resourcefulness--in sum, leadership--not from on high, but in home communities, where the action really is. The greatest danger in a conference of this kind is that we each go home to a busy schedule and an accumulated backlog--and we settle back into old and easier patterns. The challenge to you and me individually is that our being here should make a difference in our part of the world, in our individual sphere of activity. The challenge then is that you, through your individual efforts, help move "what is" in rural health a bit further toward the goal of "what could--and should be.

Mawby, President w. K. Kellogg Foundation at the Michigan Association o f Governing Boards' 1982 Higher Education Awards Convocation Thursday, April 22 University Club Lansing, Michi gan / g~ 1. Thank you very much for inviting me to be your s peaker at t hi s the 1982 Higher Education Awards Convocation of the Michigan Association of Governing Boards. I have taken t he t i t l e o f my remarks, "A Treasured Michigan Resource " from the statement which graces the front cover of the invitation for t oni gh t ' s program. I f I may, l et me restat e the words printed on t he invitation. They read: "In recognition of a treasured Michigan resource and the prom ise it represents for our state's future, the Michigan Association of Governing Boards honors distinguished faculty and outstanding s tudents from the state's public co l leges and universities." �2 The 24 outstanding student s and 24 di stinguished faculty from 12 of our state's 15 public col lege s and universities here this evening r epresent a treasured Michigan resource as do the educationa l ins titutions which all of you represent. I 'll comment more on these r e s our c e s a b it later. Firs t, l e t me also say that the Michigan Ass ociation o f Governing Boards, and its counterparts throughout the United Stat es, are e qu a l l y important and vital t o the future of h igher education here in Michi gan and acros s the na tion. As many of you know, th e Associat ion o f Governing Boards (AGB) is t he only nongovernmental, nonprofit organization within higher education whose primary purpose is strengthening the p erformance o f boards of higher education and higher educa tional insti tutions. Nationwide, AGB membership includes more than 780 boards s erving 1,250 colleges and universities; and more than 18,000 i ndiv i du al trustees, regents and chief executive officers -- nearly one half of the total governing structure of United States h igher education . Thus, the Association of Governing Boards and its membership is a �3 t r e a s u r e dM i ch ig an and n a t i o n a lr e s o u r c e-and isi na u n i q u e p o s i t i o nt oh e l pc o n t r i b u t et o ,and t oh e l p shape, the fu t u r eo f h i g h e re d u c a t i o nd u r i n gwh a th a sb e en l a b e l e dby m any a st h e "D e c ad eo fD et e rm i n a t i o n .

II. As citizens , faculty , students and/or members o f college and university governing boards, we have a special challenge today -a cha l l enge t o be spokesmen , and more importantly statesmen, for t h e value of higher educa tion in our socie ty and in Michigan. The founder of t h e W. K. Kellogg Founda t i on , breakfas t c ereal pioneer W. K. Kellogg, of ten noted t h a t "Education offe rs t h e grea test opportunity for really improving one gene r a t i on over another. II He believed -- and backed up his beli ef through grants from his foundation -- tha t educat ion determines whether a society , �5 a nation, or a sta te progr esses and pro spe rs . He a lso championed the reality t ha t education is the primary avenue for an indivi dua l to achiev e a bett er li f e. I be l ieve a part o f our curr en t f i nan c i a l and public support crisis for higher education na tionally, and par t ic u larly here in Michi gan, resu lt s from l osing s i gh t o f the s e b a s i c educ at ional pu rpo ses and bene f i t s. Le t me be more s p e c if i c . The mos t " t yp i c a l " vi s i tors we have at Kellogg Founda ti on of f ice s i n Battle Creek are col l e ge or un i v ersity presi dent s , o ther administrato r s or f acul ty members. They know why they have come t o s e e us, and t hey also know ' t ha t we know i t. When the great virtues and t he hi s toric s i gni fi c anc e of t he projec t s t he y pr opos e have been thorough ly discussed , there is of ten t i me perhap s at l unch o r on the way to the ai r po r t -- f or les s momentous di scuss i on or, i f th e truth be known, f o r go s s i p . It is then tha t I often ask , very inno cently, "Wha t are t h e major dev elopments s o f a r as your in s titution i s conce r n ed ? " �6 If you were al l less soph i sticated than you actually are, you would be surprised a t what I am told. I learn about: athletic prowess or t he lack thereof; about iniquities of t h e legis lature and the board of contro l (or occasionally their v i r t ue s ) ; about t he inside story on various episodes, s ome of t hem scandalous; about which dep artments are be'ing drastically cut or abandoned; about t he probabl e line of succession t o the presidency; and how the institution ha s just re-organized, is being re-organized, or will s ho r t l y be re-organized. �7 It is star tl ing how seldom I hear any thing about: the educat ion being provided; the research be i ng under taken ; th e bold new undergraduate cur r i cu l um; the group o f adul t learn ers t h a t t he univ er s i t y i s trying t o serve ; t he i nte r - di s cip l i n a r y commi t tee s that are making headway a ga in st rampant s p e c i a l i sm; the new r esearch which i s go i ng to provide a break- through; or abo ut the a ll - unive r s i t y committee which is re-thinking the goal s o f the in s titution. �8 Nor do I hear valuable, impressive examples of how the university's students and graduates are contribut ing to t h e i r communities, their state, while improving t h ems e l v e s and t h e i r famil i e s in economic and other important ways. You can see from this report then, why I am so extremely grateful to be here this evening where the b right, a ccompl i s h ed , and forward-thinking face of our Michigan in stitutions o f higher education is so evident. You are t he true refl ection of the purpose, the va lue, and the achievements of our colleges and universi ties! But let me for a momen t r eturn to the report s I get from my visi tors. Why do they not re flect the spirit I find here tonight? Let us l ook back a bit to find t he causes . III . I t has been said of higher education that, in sequence, it: �9 f i r s t had grea t presiden ts; t hen had great profe ssors; and t hen had s hr ewd operators . The era o f the great president s was roughly from 1870 t o 1930. The era o f: Char l e s El i o t (Harvard) Woodrow Wi lson (Pr inceton) Dani el Coi t Gilman (Johns Bopkins) Nicholas Murray Butl er (Colomb ia ) Andrew D. White (Cornell ) - - Jame s B. Angell (Michigan) The era of the great presiden ts was f o l lowed by the era of the great s chol a rs f r om 1930 to 1960. Th i s era s aw the f l ower i ng of a l l the discipline s an d the pro fessions and of t h e r esearch and teach ing t hey requi red. The f r e edom o f the Un i t ed Sta tes, of �10 course, brought many dis t ingu ished academic leaders to t h i s country as immigrants . And that era was followed by "the era o f t he shrewd operators" f r om 1960 to 1980. we are s t i l l i n it. You are f ami l i a r with t hi s era , partly because It was an era o f gr ant - ge t t e r s and money- manipulator s; the bui lders of center s and ins titut e s and countl e ss other units, each constructed around s ome special person or field of study with r elatively little regard fo r the t o tal ins ti tution i t s e l f. This was not, t o be sure, an invariab le succession of eras. Robert Maynard Hutchins (in the 305 and 40 s) and John Hannah ( i n the 50 s and 60s) were great pr e s i den ts , speaking articulately on the nature and need s of highe r education. There are more grea t pro f essors t han there ever were; at least half of all Nobel prizes in s cience are being awarded to Americans, and other fi elds and o ther l eade rs f l our i s h a s wel l . But their dis tinc tive and unique qualities have f a r l e s s public notice today t han was the case in t he t i me s of Einst ein and Fermi �11 (physics), Van Doren (literature), Erskine (music), Barzun ( Fr ench literature), Beard (h istory), or Highe t (philosophy). Why have the educational s tate smen tended to be s ubme r ge d ? We have moved through a time of abundance -- and perhaps even over-abundance -- in th e 1950s and 1960s. We have moved through a time when the warning bells of fin ancial trouble b egan to sound ever more in si stently in the 1970s, to a time of very real and present danger to the very existence of our institutions . Gov e r n i ng boards, academic administrators, faculty councils and s ena t e s h ave had t o pay major at ten t ion to operation and managemen t during both good t imes and bad. But as a consequence they began to perceive thems elves e s sentially as administrators. They added to t he i r key staffs a host of accountants, personnel workers, public relations experts, lawyers, and, mos t of all, i n s t i t u t i ona l managers. I f you doubt the fact of an over-emphasis on operations, I invite you to read the Chronicle, the journals of higher education, �12 and t he hundr ed s of books which pour forth each year about t he college and t he university. See how little is s a i d about t h e mission of t he insti tu tion, how much is s aid abou t i ts st r uc t ur e and processes. As universities perceive themselves, so t he pub li c perceives them. The decline in the public' s support and championing of higher educa tion is a natu ral cons equence. IV. Suc h an occasion as the on e we' cel ebra te t h i s ev e n i ng s trikes out boldly against th is pre-occupat ion with operat ion i t s elf, t o emphasize the purpose which shou l d guide ou r efforts, not t he processes we f ol l ow wi thin our in s titutions. I suggest then we ne ed to find more ways of: celebrating the accomplishments of intellectual and academic inquiry ; �13 identifying the new intellectual purpose s we shou l d follow; and discovering ways to stress th e unity of all knowledge and to explore th e linkages between its segment s. Most importantly, we must become advocates and statemen on behalf of the importance o f education to our society , its citizens, and to our collective f u t u re. The 1982 Higher Education Awards recipients -- all of you -give testimony to our coun try' s succes s; one ba sed on discernment, pride, achievement, and c ommitment to quality. That has been the foundation of highe r educa t ion' s acceptance and place i n our soc iety . Hel en Kell er identified this characteristic 44 years ago when she said: true happines s. " Some persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes I t i s no t attained through s e l f - gr a t i f i c a t i on but through f idelity to a worthy cause. " �14 Most Americans s t i l l believe in and di splay f i de l i t y to worthy caus es. their leaders I t i s t i me for our colleges and univer sities and whethe r in the board room, the classroom or laboratory, or the administra tor' s offi ce - - t o proclaim again as spoke smen and statesmen the worthy cause of quality higher education. With you as gu i de s , both as participant s and shin ing examples, I believe it can -- and trust it will -- be done. Thank you. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections. For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/.

A fellow histori a n , Marcus Tullius Cicero, the great roman senator and orator who lived from 106 to 43 B.C. said that: "History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life, and brings us tidings of antiquity." �2 T h i sd i s c i p l i n eo fh i s t o r yo b v i o u s l yc o n t r i b u t e dt oJ e r r y ' s a n a l y t i c a lp ow e r sa n dh i sv i s i o n a r yg e n i u si nf o c u s i n go nt h e im p o r t a n ta n ds e e i n gt h eb i gp i c t u r e .

Mawby President, W. K. Kellogg Foundation at Alma College Alma, Michigan April 19, 1975 I It is a pleasure indeed for Ruth and me to be with you at Alma College for this Commencement ceremony. My affinity for this institution goes back some three and a half decades, to high school days, and the youth program of the North Park Presbyterian Church near Grand Rapids. Through the years, personally and more recently in my responsibilities with the Kellogg Foundation, I have had the pleasure of keeping in touch and I accept with deep appreciation the Honorary Degree which has today been conferred upon me. I express my gratitude to the faculty, officers, and trustees who have accorded me this high honor which marks the beginning of a new relationship for me with Alma. To you who are graduating, I want to add my congratulations to those already expressed. For each of you, this is an occasion long awaited, one of those instances in a person's life when he or she can have both a sense of satisfaction in past achievements and a special excitement for the future. I feel privileged to be sharing this day with you. I would add a word of congratulations, also, to all of those who have contributed in a significant way to making this day a reality. I think first I �2 of parents and families, and in some instances husbands or wives and children who so often have sacrificed and subordinated their personal interests t o yours in making it possible for you to study at Alma and who a r e entitled to a similar sense o f prideful satisfaction on this oc casion. And I think, a lso, of all th e people who are Alma College-- those who have gone b efore, through nearly a century, in establishing, building, and sustaining this institution, and who have earned for Alma College an e nv i ab le reputation in the field of higher education, and those who currently carry forward this work ... trustees, faculty, officers and s taf f , a l umni and f r iends . Christian, liberal arts colleges have b e en and must continue to b e a significant component of our pluralistic system of hi gher educ ation. Your e f f or t s have made this so--and will continue to do s o in the futur e. To a l l of you I expres s congratulati ons and compliments, for you, too, can take pride in this happy occasion. II I approach my as si gnment this mor ning with the s ober knowledge that not one pers on came here at 10:30 for the primary purpose of hearing the Commencement Address. If we are quite honest with each other, e a ch of you has a much more personal--and more important--reason for being here. And, in appreciation of that f act, I propose to intrude only briefly up on y our day. To t ho s e of you who , fr om f orce of habit, are taking notes, my entire mes s age c an be summarize d in two four-le t ter words: care and love. And in the context I mean them, they are not nouns but active verbs: a nd love. care �3 Each of us has stashed away in memory certain lines--of poetry, from literature, passages from the Bible--which have special meaning to us. One such which frequently recurs to me are these lines from Edna St. Vinc ent Millay The world stands out on either s i d e No wider than the heart is wide; Above the world is s tret ched the sky,-No higher than the soul is high. The heart can push the sea and land Farther away on either hand; The soul can split the s ky in two, And let the face of God shine thru. But East and West will pinch the heart That cannot keep them pu s he d apart; And he whose soul is flat--the sky Will cave in on him by and by. The world stands out---no wider than the heart is wide. Any r easonable person who reflects t hough t f ul l y on today and tomorrow-on where mankind is a nd where we're goi ng- - f i nds the prospect sobering. A few days ago I read a disturbingly pessimistic--and perhaps di stressingly realistic--book, An Inquiry Into the Human Prospect, by Robert L. Heilbroner. Heilbroner suggests that three issues above all others shape the current human predicament. environment, war. These can be summarized in three words: population, �4 It would be nice if these were simple, tidy issues that we could deal with forcefully and directly. But we immediately see that they are not simple and neat; they are complex, confounding and compounding, comprehensive, inter-related. One of the dilemmas of the human condition is that the problems which concern us are diffuse, complex, permeating, multi-disciplinary, generalized. Think of any current issue of major significance--pollution, health care, transportation, education, the judicial system, world peace. Simultaneously, the solutions devised by man are usually specific, simplistic, specialized, narrowly based. Thus, a serious discontinuity exists between the nature of the problems which confront us and the solutions which we contrive for dealing with them. I'll not elaborate on these three issues, simply remind you of them: Population -- a realization that the growth of human population is the principal and most compelling threat to the survival of the species (man); Environment -- a growing appreciation for the fra gility of the relationships within the earth's environmental milieu, with an awareness of the mind-boggling COnsequences of our actions, impulsive or premeditated; and War -- with no better reminder than the words written 350 years ago by John Donne "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." �No mat te r how we choose to cla s s i f y man's co ncer ns , or from wh a t vant a ge po int we elect to view them, ult imately it become s clear that the quality of life for our generat ion and those to follow wi l l b e determined bas ically by our progres s in improving human r elati on ~ h ip s. For whethe r we think i n ter ms of t he fami l y , our home commu nity , our state or nat ion , or t he wor l d nei ghb orhood, the prime det e rmi nant of what life wi l l be like i n the years ahea d wi ll be a cons equence of man' s ab i l i t y to live i n harmony, one with another. And th e most important decisi on s confronti ng u s will not be dependent upon our burgeoning technology, but instead will b e value-ba s ed and value-l a den. I II The only hop e fo r c i v i l ized s oci e t y i s t hat modern man will b e more succ e s s f ul than his predeces sor s in dealing wi t h human as pi r a t ions, reflect ing contempora ry value s. Your generation, more t han mi ne, s hows promise of having thi s co mmitment and capacity. But y ou have not yet been really tested.

In pr epa rat i on f or such responsibility, yo u a rc fortunate t o have b een students here at AlUla College--a Christian, private, liberal arts institut i on: Chri sti an -- in the fullest a nd most co mmitt ed sense; pr i va t e -tangible evidence of the pluralistic commi t ment of America, that private as well as public e f f or t s s erve society's high est goa l s , eve n in an a ge when government is ever more dominant and domineering; and lib eral arts i n furth erance of the co nc ep t of t h e "educated man." I am much impr essed by the statement o f purpo s es of Alma College . In the context of these remarks, I'll quote only two: "In the er a when the potential b en efit s of s c ient i f i c and technological a dvan cement are j e opardiz ed by a lack of wisdom, mor al concern and r esponsibility in the us e of such knowledge, Alma College seeks to maintain a steady focu s on human values which undergird th e worth of individuals and t he welfare of soci ety. "In an e r a of prol i fe r a t i on and fragmentation o f knowledge, Alma College seeks t o create in students an intellectual curio sity about t he wholeness of knowledge and a concern f or the value judgments whi ch a re critical to wise deci sion-making ," �7 I wish you as gr a duat e s success in the days ahead in t ransferring such vital concepts i nt o y our ever yday lives. IV Whil e the prospects o f an unknown future may be somber , the ch a llenge- and the potenti al-- of tomor r ow a r e as demanding a nd as exhi l a r a t i ng as ever . In an a ge when bigness and complexity seem characteristic, it 's important to maintain a proper perspective . When the realities of the everyday wor ld seem almost overwhelming , I find the fo l l owi ng a useful reminde r: I am only one, but I am one; I can 't do everything , but I can do something; And what I ca n do , I ought t o do; And what I ought to do, by the grace of God , I will do. J e sus t augh t, "Love t hy neighbor-- If An old hymn reminds us , " Br i ght e n the co rner where you are ...

This can be r emedi ed only by t h e deeds of i nd i viduals who- - i n wha t ev e r their role and in every dimension of life- -care and love, If each of u s will do what we can do and ought to do to that e nd , we will, in fact , be serving man 's hi gher purpo se .

RUSSELL G. MAWBY CHAIRMAN, W. K. KELLOGG FOUNDATION' GOSHEN COLLEGE GOSHEN, INDIANA APRIL 16/ 1989 I IT IS A PLEASURE INDEED TO BE WITH YOU AT GOSHEN COLLEGE FOR THIS COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY. WHI LE MY DIRECT INVOLVEMENT WITH GOSHEN HAS BEEN LIMITED, THE W. K. KELLOGG FOUNDATION HAS BEEN PRIVILEGED TO ASSIST THE COLLEGE IN SOME OF ITS CREATIVE VENTURES IN EDUCATION. I KNOW GOSHEN AS A COLLEGE WITH A PURPOSE, AND YOUR REPUTATION AMONG CHRISTIAN LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES FOR CREATIVE AND EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS IS WELL DESERVED. AMONG THESE IS YOUR COMMITMENT TO INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION, IN PARTICULAR YOUR STUDY SERVICE TERM (SST) ABROAD. THIS �-2YEAR GOSHEN CELEBRATES TWO DECADES IN FAMILY TERMS, A GENERATION -- OF COMMITMENT TO THE MISSION OF DEVELOPING IN YOUR GRADUATES AN NINTERCULTURAL OPENNESS WITH THE ABILITY TO FUNCTION EFFECTIVELY WITH PEOPLE OF OTHER WORLD VIEWS. N IN TODAY'S WORLD, THAT IS A VITAL COMPONENT IN YOUR BROADER MISSION OF NURTURING NINFORMED, ARTICULATE, SENSITIVE, RESPONSIBLE CHRISTIANS. N I SALUTE YOU -- AND THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE WITH YOU TODAY. TO YOU WHO ARE GRADUATING, I ADD MY CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE ALREADY EXPRESSED. FOR EACH OF YOU, THIS IS AN OCCASION LONG AWAITED, ONE OF THOSE INSTANCES IN LIFE WHEN YOU HAVE BOTH A SENSE OF SATISFACTION IN PAST ACHIEVEMENTS AND A SPECIAL EXCITEMENT FOR THE FUTURE. I FEEL PRIVILEGED TO BE SHARING THIS DAY WITH YOU. I WOULD ADD A WORD OF CONGRATULATIONS, ALSO, TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED IN A SIGNIFICANT WAY TO MAKING THIS DAY A REALITY. I THINK FIRST OF PARENTS AND FAMILIES, AND IN SOME INSTANCES HUSBANDS OR WIVES AND CHILDREN WHO SO OFTEN HAVE SACRIFICED AND SUBORDINATED THEIR PERSONAL INTERESTS TO YOURS IN MAKING IT POSSIBLE �-3FOR YOU TO STUDY AT GOSHEN COLLEGE AND WHO ARE ENTITLED TO A SIMILAR SENSE OF PRIDEFUL SATISFACTION ON THIS OCCASION. AND I THINK, ALSO, OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOSHEN -- THOSE WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE, ESTABLISHING, BUILDING, AND SUSTAINING THIS INSTITUTION, AND THOSE WHO CURRENTLY CARRY FORWARD THIS WORK ... TRUSTEES, FACULTY, OFFICERS AND STAFF, ALUMNI AND FRIENDS. CHRISTIAN, INDEPENDENT, LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES HAVE BEEN AND MUST CONTINUE TO BE A SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT OF OUR PLURALISTIC SYSTEM OF HIGHER EDUCATION. YOUR EFFORTS HAVE MADE THIS SO -- AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE. TO ALL OF YOU, I EXPRESS CONGRATULATIONS AND COMPLIMENTS, FOR YOU, TOO, CAN TAKE PRIDE IN THIS HAPPY OCCASION. II I APPROACH MY ASSIGNMENT TODAY WITH THE SOBERING KNOWLEDGE THAT NOT ONE PERSON CAME HERE FOR THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF HEARING THE COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS. IF WE ARE QUITE HONEST WITH EACH OTHER, EACH OF YOU HAS A MUCH MORE PERSONAL -- AND MORE IMPORTANT -- REASON FOR BEING HERE. AND, IN APPRECIATION OF THAT FACT, I PROPOSE TO INTRUDE �-4- ONLY BRIEFLY UPON YOUR TIME. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO, FROM FORCE OF HABIT, ARE TAKING NOTES, MY ENTIRE MESSAGE CAN BE SUMMARIZED IN TWO LETTERS: U AND R. HUH FOR UNDERSTANDING; HRH FOR RESPONSIBILITY. W. K. KELLOGG, THE FOUNDER OF THE FOUNDATION WITH WHICH I AM ASSOCIATED, WAS A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN. WITH ONLY SIX YEARS OF FORMAL EDUCATION, HE STARTED WORK AS A BROOM SALESMAN AND THEN BECAME THE BUSINESS MANAGER OF A HOSPITAL IN BATTLE CREEK. AT AGE 46, HE QUIT HIS JOB AND LAUNCHED THE KELLOGG COMPANY, MANUFACTURING READY-TO-EAT BREAKFAST CEREALS. LATE IN HIS LIFE HE DEDICATED HIS WEALTH TO PUBLIC BENEFIT THROUGH THIS FOUNDATION. IN 1935, WHEN HE MADE THE IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER OF HIS FORTUNE TO THE FOUNDATION, HE WROTE A BRIEF LETTER IN WHICH HE CONCLUDED, "! AM GLAD THAT THE EDUCATIONAL APPROACH HAS BEEN .EMPHASIZED. RELIEF, RAIMENT AND SHELTER ARE NECESSARY FOR DESTITUTE CHILDREN, BUT THE GREATEST GOOD FOR THE GREATEST NUMBER CAN COME ONLY THROUGH THE EDUCATION OF THE CHILD , THE PARENT, THE TEACHER, THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN, THE DENTIST, �-5- THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL. EDUCATION OFFERS THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY FOR REALLY IMPROVING ONE GENERATION OVER ANOTHER. H THAT STATEMENT IS AS TRUE TODAY AS IT WAS FIVE DECADES AGO. DESPITE ALL THE CRITICISMS AND ALL THE QUESTIONING, EDUCATION IS STILL BASIC TO -- OFFERS THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY FOR -- HUMAN PROGRESS. AND FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE INDIVIDUAL, EDUCATION IS STILL THE WAY TO A BETTER LIFE. EDUCATION -- RELATED TO BUT NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH COURSES AND CREDITS AND DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS; BUT EDUCATION -THE INQUISITIVE MIND; THE MASTERY OF KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS; A PATTERN OF IDENTIFYING, ASSEMBLING, ANALYZING, THINKING, PLANNING, AND DOING. FOR SOME OF YOU, HIGHER EDUCATION IS A FAM ILY TRADITION. YOUR PARENTS, PERHAPS YOUR GRANDPARENTS AND GREAT-GRANDPARENTS AND BEYOND, HAVE BEEN COLLEGE GRADUATES. OTHERS OF YOU, LIKE MYSELF, ARE THE FIRST OF YOUR FAMILY TO GO TO COLLEGE. IF SO, GOSHEN (OLLEGE HAS GIVEN YOU AN OPPORTUNITY YOUR PARENTS DID NOT ENJOY. �-6WHATEVER THE CASE, ALL OF US WHO ARE THE BENEFICIARIES OF HIGHER EDUCATION SHOULD IMPOSE UPON OURSELVES THE STATUS OF LIFELONG INDENTURE TO REPAY THAT WHICH HAS BEEN BESTOWED AND TO ENSURE SIMILAR BENEFITS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE WHO WILL FOLLOW. OUR SOCIETY IS NOW CRITICALLY REVIEWING ALL OF ITS INSTITUTIONS AND TRADITIONS, QUESTIONING OUR PRIORITIES AND ALLOCATIONS OF RESOURCES. SUPPORT OF EDUCATION AT ALL LEVELS IS BEING CHALLENGED. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN RECENT MEMORY, THE AMERICAN COMMITMENT TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES -- AN OPEN DOOR, WITH A SECOND CHANCE -- SEEMS GENUINELY ENDANGERED. HOPEFULLY YOU, WHO ARE AMONG THE PRIVILEGED TO BENEFIT FROM HIGHER EDUCATION, WILL BE ARTICULATE SPOKESMEN AND DEDICATED SUPPORTERS OF EDUCATION TO GUARANTEE COMPARABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THOSE WHO FOLLOW. III AS IN ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF LIFE, WITH PRIVILEGE GOES DUTY, THE OBLIGATION TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND RESPONSIVE. AND PROFESSIONAL CAREERS WILL BE VARIED. YOUR PERSONAL PATHS EACH OF YOU WILL MAKE YOUR �· -7- OWN CHOICE (ANOTHER AMERICAN PREROGATIVE WHICH FEW IN THE WORLD SHARE) -- SOME WILL PURSUE FURTHER PROFESSIONAL STUDIES, LEADING TO ADVANCED DEGREES; SOME WILL GO INTO BUSINESS, EITHER SELF-EMPLOYED OR WORKING WITH OTHERS; OTHERS WILL CHOOSE OPPORTUNITIES IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR WORKING FOR GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES AT LOCAL, STATE, OR NATIONAL LEVELS; SOME WILL DEDICATE THEIR LIVES TO HUMAN SERVICE, THROUGH THEIR CHURCH OR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS; STILL OTHERS WILL ELECT TO CONTINUE THE ACADEMIC LIFE, IN RESEARCH, TEACHING, OR PUBLIC SERVICE. WHATEVER ROUTE YOU CHOOSE, SOCIETY HAS HIGH EXPECTATIONS -- A GREAT NEED -- FOR YOUR TALENTS. HOPEFULLY, YOU WILL BE SHAKERS AND SHAPERS OF A BETTER TOMORROW. IN THAT REGARD I WILL SHARE WITH YOU BRIEFLY THREE SPECIFIC IDEAS . . BUT AS A PREFACE FOR THOSE THOUGHTS, IT WILL BE USEFUL TO PUT OURSELVES, OUR LIVES, OUR TIMES INTO SOME PERSPECTIVE. �-8- EACH OF US HAS STASHED AWAY IN MEMORY CERTAIN LINES -- OF POETRY, FROM LITERATURE, PASSAGES FROM THE BIBLE -- WHICH HAVE SPECIAL MEANING TO US. ONE SUCH WHICH FREQUENTLY RECURS TO -ME ARE THESE LINES FROM EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY THE WORLD STANDS OUT ON EITHER SIDE NO WIDER THAN THE HEART IS WIDE ABOVE THE WORLD IS STRETCHED THE SKY, NO HIGHER THAN THE SOUL IS HIGH. THE HEART CAN PUSH THE SEA AND LAND FARTHER AWAY ON EITHER HAND; THE SOUL CAN SPLIT THE SKY IN TWO, AND LET THE FACE OF GOD SHINE THRU. BUT EAST AND WEST WILL PINCH THE HEART THAT CANNOT KEEP THEM PUSHED APART; AND HE WHOSE SOUL IS FLAT -- THE SKY WILL CAVE IN ON HIM BY AND BY. THE WORLD STANDS OUT -- NO WIDER THAN THE HEART IS WIDE. ANY REASONABLE PERSON WHO REFLECTS THOUGHTFULLY ON TODAY AND TOMORROW -- ON WHERE MANKIND IS AND WHERE WE'RE GOING -- FINDS THE PROSPECT SOBERING. RECENTLY I READ A DISTURBINGLY PESSIMISTIC BUT PERHAPS DISTRESSINGLY REALISTIC -- BOOK, AN INQUIRY INTO THE �-9- HUMAN PROSPECT, BY ROBERT L. HEILBRONER. HEILBRONER SUGGESTS THAT THREE ISSUES ABOVE ALL OTHERS SHAPE THE CURRENT HUMAN PREDICAMENT. THESE CAN BE SUMMARIZED IN THREE WORDS: POPULATION, ENVIRONMENT, WAR. IT WOULD BE NICE IF THESE WERE SIMPLE, TIDY ISSUES THAT WE COULD DEAL WITH FORCEFULLY AND DIRECTLY. BUT WE IMMEDIATELY SEE THAT THEY ARE NOT SIMPLE AND NEAT; THEY ARE COMPLEX, CONFOUNDING AND COMPOUNDING, COMPREHENSIVE, INTER-RELATED. ONE OF THE DILEMMAS OF THE HUMAN CONDITION IS THAT THE PROBLEMS WHICH CONCERN US ARE DIFFUSE, COMPLEX, PERMEATING, MULTI-DISCIPLINARY, GENERALIZED. THINK OF ANY CURRENT ISSUE OF MAJOR SIGNIFICANCE -- FOOD SUPPLY, POLLUTION, HEALTH CARE, UNEMPLOYMENT, ENERGY, TRANSPORTATION, THE FEDERAL BUDGET DEFICIT, EDUCATION, INTERNATIONAL TRADE, THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM, RURAL DEVELOPMENT, FAMILY LIFE, INFLATION, WORLD PEACE. SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE SOLUTIONS DEVISED BY MAN ARE USUALLY SPECIFIC, SIMPLISTIC, SPECIALIZED, NARROWLY BASED. THUS, A SERIOUS �-10- DISCONTINUITY EXISTS BETWEEN THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEMS WHICH CONFRONT US AND THE SOLUTIONS WHICH WE CONTRIVE FOR DEALING WITH THEM. I'LL NOT ELABORATE ON THESE THREE ISSUES, SIMPLY REMIND YOU OF THEM: POPULATION -- A REALIZATION THAT THE GROWTH OF HUMAN POPULATION IS THE PRINCIPAL AND MOST COMPELLING THREAT TO THE SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES (MAN); ENVIRONMENT -- A GROWING APPRECIATION FOR THE FRAGILITY OF THE RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE EARTH'S ENVIRONMENTAL MILIEU, WITH AN AWARENESS OF THE MIND-BOGGLING CONSEQUENCES OF OUR ACTIONS, IMPULSIVE OR PREMEDITATED; AND WAR -- WITH NO BETTER REMINDER THAN THE WORDS WRITTEN 350 YEARS AGO BY JOHN DONNE "NO MAN IS AN ISLAND, ENTIRE OF ITSELF; EVERY MAN IS A PIECE OF THE CONTINENT, A PART OF THE MAIN; IF A CLOD BE WASHED AWAY BY THE SEA, EUROPE IS THE LESS, AS WELL AS IF A PROMONTORY WERE, AS WELL AS IF A MANOR OF THY FRIENDS OR OF THINE OWN WERE; ANY MAN'S DEATH DIMINISHES ME, BECAUSE I AM INVOLVED IN MANKIND; AND THEREFORE NEVER SEND TO KNOW FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS; IT TOLLS FOR THEE." �-11- NO MATTER HOW WE CHOOSE TO CLASSIFY MAN'S CONCERNS, OR FROM WHAT VANTAGE POINT WE ELECT TO VIEW THEM, ULTIMATELY IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR OUR GENERATION AND THOSE TO FOLLOW WILL BE DETERMINED BASICALLY BY OUR PROGRESS IN IMPROVING HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS. FOR WHETHER WE THINK IN TERMS OF THE FAMILY, OUR HOME COMMUNITY, OUR STATE OR NATION, OR THE WORLD NEIGHBORHOOD, THE PRIME DETERMINANT OF WHAT LIFE WILL BE LIKE IN THE YEARS AHEAD WILL BE A CONSEQUENCE OF MAN'S ABILITY TO LIVE IN HARMONY, ONE WITH ANOTHER. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS CONFRONTING US WILL NOT BE DEPENDENT UPON OUR BURGEONING TECHNOLOGY, BUT INSTEAD WILL BE VALUE-BASED AND VALUE-LADEN. THE ONLY HOPE FOR CIVILIZED SOCIETY IS THAT MODERN MAN WILL BE MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN HIS PREDECESSORS IN DEALING WITH HUMAN ASPIRATIONS, REFLECTING CONTEMPORARY VALUES. YOUR GENERATION, MORE THAN MINE, SHOWS PROMISE OF HAVING THIS COMMITMENT AND CAPACITY. NOT YET BEEN REALLY TESTED. BUT YOU HAVE �-12- THE REAL TESTING WILL COME IN TANGIBLE RESPONSES TO TOUGH ALTERNATIVES -- FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE LEADERSHIP YOU PROVIDE IN PREPARING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO ACCEPT A STATIC OR DECLINING STANDARD OF LIVING IN THE DECADES IMMEDIATELY AHEAD, ADOPTING AN ENTIRELY NEW CONCEPT OF THE QUALITY OF LIFE, SO THAT THE PEOPLES OF OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD MAY BENEFIT MORE ABUNDANTLY FROM THE EARTH'S FINITE RESOURCES. WILL WE GO TO WAR OVER OIL? SHARE OUR ABUNDANCE WITH THOSE LESS BLESSED? WILL WE WILL THE HUNGRY OF THE WORLD HAVE FOOD? YOUR SUCCESS WILL BE DETERMINED NOT BY THE ELEGANCE OF YOUR RHETORIC BUT BY THE TANGIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, AND POLITICAL DECISIONS. IV AND NOW, TO THOSE THREE TANGIBLE AND SPECIFIC CONCERNS WHICH I SHARE WITH YOU AS PERSONS WHO ARE THE BENEFICIARIES OF EDUCATION, WHO ARE �-13- COMMITTED TO KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING, AND WHO WILL -- IN ONE ROLE OR ANOTHER -- BE SHAPERS OF THE FUTURE. FIRST, THE CHALLENGE OF KNOWLEDGE UTILIZATION, THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE TO PROBLEMS OF PEOPLE. WE KNOW BETTER THAN WE DO. IN MOST AREAS OF HUMAN ENDEAVOR, WHETHER YOUR CAREER INTERESTS BE IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE, HISTORY, THE PERFORMING ARTS, ENGINEERING, TEACHING, BUSINESS, FAMILY LIFE, SOCIOLOGY, HEALTH, OR WHAT HAVE YOU, WE MUST SOMEHOW MOBILIZE KNOWLEDGE RESOURCES IN NEW AND CREATIVE WAYS TO DEAL EFFECTIVELY WITH HUMAN CONCERNS. IN THE COMPLEX LIFE OF TODAY AND TOMORROW, THE RESOURCES OF ANY ONE DISCIPLINE, BODY OF KNOWLEDGE, OR ORGANIZATION ARE USUALLY INADEQUATE TO DEAL EFFECTIVELY WITH SIGNIFICANT ISSUES. YOUR GENERATION MUST PIONEER IN BLENDING THE RICHNESS OF SPECIALIZED FIELDS OF STUDY INTO MORE EFFECTIVE PATTERNS FOR DECISION AND ACTION. �-14- SECOND, THE CHALLENGE OF LIFELONG LEARNING. INDEED SIMPLIER. IN THE PAST, LIFE WAS My GENERATION COULD APPROACH LIFE IN THREE NEAT BLOCKS -- GO TO SCHOOL, GO TO WORK, OUT TO PASTURE. NOW, FOR A WHOLE HOST OF REASONS, THAT PATTERN IS NO LONGER ADEQUATE BURGEONING KNOWLEDGE, THE ACCELERATING RATE OF CHANGE, THE COMPLEXITY OF ISSUES, THE INTERRELATEDNESS OF HUMAN EXPERIENCES. You AS EDUCATED PERSONS MUST DEMONSTRATE A COMMITMENT TO LIFELONG LEARNING, INCORPORATING IN YOUR OWN LIFE A CONTINUING INTERACTION BETWEEN WORK, FAMILY, LEISURE, AND LEARNING. AND FINALLY, THAT THIRD CHALLENGE, INVOLVEMENT. REQUIRES INDIVIDUAL INVOLVEMENT. EFFECTIVE DEMOCRACY A UNIQUE INGREDIENT OF OUR AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE IS VOLUNTEER ISM, THOSE THINGS WHICH INDIVIDUALS DO VOLUNTARILY, BECAUSE THEY WANT TO. MARGARET MEAD HAS OBSERVED: �-15"WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY THAT ALWAYS HAS DEPENDED ON VOLUNTEERS OF DIFFERENT KINDS -- SOME WHO CAN GIVE MONEY, OTHERS WHO GIVE TIME, AND A GREAT MANY WHO FREELY GIVE THEIR SPECIAL SKILLS, FULL-TIME OR PART-TIME. IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU WILL SEE THAT ALMOST ANYTHING THAT REALLY MATTERS TO US, ANYTHING THAT EMBODIES OUR DEEPEST COMMITMENT TO THE WAY HUMAN LIFE SHOULD BE LIVED AND CARED FOR, DEPENDS ON SOME FORM -- MORE OFTEN MANY FORMS -- OF VOLUNTEERISM." THIS FACT GIVES A DISTINCTIVELY HUMANE QUALITY TO LIFE IN AMERICA. BUT ONLY IF WE CONTINUE TO RENEW THE "HABITS OF THE HEART," TO USE THE TITLE OF A RECENT BOOK BY ROBERT BELLAH. LET ME SUGGEST TO YOU THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT WAY IN WHICH YOUR LIFE WILL BE MEASURED ULTIMATELY IS BY THE WAYS IN WHICH YOU SPEND YOUR LEISURE TIME. TO BE SURE, SOME TIME MUST BE SPENT IN HOBBIES AND OTHER FORMS OF RELAXATION. BUT LET ME ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPEND AS MUCH OF IT AS YOU CAN IN PAYING BACK THE SOCIETY THAT ALREADY HAS GIVEN SO MUCH TO YOU. YOUR PROFESSION NEEDS YOU, BEYOND THE MANDATE OF THE JOB, TO �-16- RAISE THE LEVEL OF PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE AND ETHICS. YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOU, TO SERVE ON NONPROFIT BOARDS AND IN OTHER WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE TO BETTERING THE HUMAN CONDITION. YOU, TO FILL POSITIONS OF PUBLIC TRUST. I HOPE THAT YOU WILL QUICKLY BEGIN TO REPAY YOUR "DEBT TO SOCIETY." THAT THIS PARADOX IS TRUE: GET. YOUR NATION NEEDS I WILL GUARANTEE THE MORE YOU GIVE, THE MORE YOU WILL AND THE MORE YOU GIVE, THE MORE SUCCESSFUL YOU WILL BECOME. By YOUR CONSTRUCTIVE INVOLVEMENT, BOTH YOU AND SOCIETY WILL BENEFIT. IN PREPARATION FOR SUCH RESPONSIBILITY, YOU ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE BEEN STUDENTS AT GOSHEN COLLEGE -- A CHRISTIAN, INDEPENDENT, LIBERAL ARTS INSTITUTION: CHRISTIAN -- IN THE FULLEST AND MOST COMMITTED SENSE; INDEPENDENT -- TANGIBLE EVIDENCE OF THE PLURALISTIC COMMITMENT OF AMERICA, THAT PRIVATE AS WELL AS PUBLIC EFFORTS SERVE SOCIETY'S HIGHEST GOALS, EVEN IN AN AGE WHEN GOVERNMENT IS EVER MORE DOMINANT AND DOMINEERING; AND LIBERAL ARTS -- IN FURTHERANCE OF THE CONCEPT OF THE "EDUCATED MAN." �-17- v WHILE THE PROSPECTS OF AN UNKNOWN FUTURE MAY BE SOMBER, THE CHALLENGE -- AND THE POTENTIAL -- OF TOMORROW ARE AS DEMANDING AND AS EXHILARATING AS EVER. IN AN AGE WHEN BIGNESS AND COMPLEXITY SEEM CHARACTERISTIC, IT'S IMPORTANT TO MAINTAIN A PROPER PERSPECTIVE. WHEN THE REALITIES OF THE EVERYDAY WORLD SEEM ALMOST OVERWHELMING, I FIND THE FOLLOWING A USEFUL REMINDER: I AM ONLY ONE, BUT I AM ONE; I CAN'T DO EVERYTHING, BUT I CAN DO SOMETHING; AND WHAT I CAN DO, I OUGHT TO DO; AND WHAT I OUGHT TO DO, BY THE GRACE OF GOD, I WILL DO. IN TOO MANY FACETS OF OUR LIVES, BOTH INDIVIDUALLY AND AS A NATION, WE SEEM TO HAVE LOST SOMETHING OF OUR SENSE OF PURPOSE, OUR SELF-CONFIDENCE, OUR DIRECTION, OUR FAITH AND COMMITMENT. TO THE EXTENT THIS BE TRUE, IT CAN BE REMEDIED ONLY BY THE DEEDS OF �-18- INDIVIDUALS WHO -- IN WHATEVER THEIR ROLE AND IN EVERY DIMENSION OF LIFE -- UNDERSTAND AND RESPOND. KNOW; WE MUST ALSO DO. IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND OR IF EACH OF US WILL DO WHAT WE CAN DO AND OUGHT TO DO, WE WILL INDEED BE SERVING MAN'S HIGHER PURPOSE. To EACH OF YOU IN THIS GOSHEN COLLEGE CLASS OF 1989, GODSPEED IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL CAREER AND -- MORE IMPORTANTLY -- IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.

Mawby, President w. K. Kellogg Foundation at the GOVERNOR'S CONFERENCE ON AGRICULTURE Long's Convention Center Lansing, Michigan April 1, 1981 I All of us involved in and concerned with Michigan agriculture recognize the significance of this day and this conference. Agriculture is a very important and . stable component of our Michiga~'economy,often classified as "Michigan's No.2 industry." But for various reasons, agriculture's significance and potential are generally underappreciated by governmental officials; by leaders of business, industry, and the financial community; and by the general public. Therefore, we are grateful to you, Governor Milliken, for convening this conference, " to assess the cu rrent status of Mi chigan agriculture and �2 e v a l u a t ei t sp o t e n t i a lf o re x p a n s i o n~n f o re v e ng r e a t e r c o n t r i b u t i o n st oo u rs t a t e ' se c o n om y .

It's great to have these two important agricultural institutions working together so effectively. This meeting will benefit also from the Governor's Conference on Forestry held last year and I understand that because the broad range of interests and activities encompassed within the concerns of agriculture and natural resources make it difficult to give adequate attention to all aspects in one meeting, Michigan State University is convening a conference focusing more specifically on natural resources later this month. In combination, these efforts should be fruitful. There is no need for me to exhort this group on the importance of agriculture or the details' of its potential. It may be useful to remind ourselves, however, that U.S./ Michigan agriculture is in fact the envy of the world. Persons more thoughtful and knowledgeable than I have �4 developed explanations for the "miracle of American agriculture." In my judgment, two elements are of particular importance: First, our American agricultural enterprise is based upon economic concepts of entrepreneurship, free enterprise, profit. This is true both for the farm component of agriculture as well as those related agribusiness enterprises which serve farming and move farm products to consumers. Second, agriculture benefits from a a unique partnership in the working relationships among public and private institutions and resources. This partnership is evident in many ways -- policy decision-making, regulation, promotion, and particularly, research and Extension. In this latter case -- research and Extension -- leadership is provided by our system of land-grant universities. We are proud that Michigan State University is the pioneer land-grant institution and a model of national and international reputation. The system of agricultural experiment stations, funded largely with federal and state tax money, through �5 C o n g r e s sa n dt h es t a t el e g i s l a t u r ea n dc om p l em e n t e dw i t h s u p p o r tf romp r i v a t es o u r c e s ,g e ne r a t e st h ek n ow l e d g eb a s e f o ra g r i c u l t u r e .

Extension repr esents the process of two-way communication, from practitioner to researcher and from researcher to practitioner/user, on the farm, in the rural community, and in r elated ent erpris e. I have been pleased to learn that our Governor and his staff and our Legislature have tried to exercise prudent judgment in maintaining our research and Extension programs while coping with reduced state revenues. Despite their efforts, however, State appropriations for the Agricultural- Experiment Station and the Cooperative Extension Service have not kept pace with inflation. State appropriations for agricultural research and Ex t e n s i on represent a smaller share of farm income today than five or ten years ago. �8 This vndesirable trend jeopardizes both the position of Michigan agriculture relative to other states, and American agriculture in the world community. Such decrease in support sells short the future and should be redressed in the best long-term interests of Michigan's economy. Evidence is abundant that this is a wise and productive investment of public funds, reaping rich returns. In considering both research and Extension, we must be aware of the significant research and educational efforts of private industry. Very often experiment stations and the Cooperative Extension Service work in concert with private industry in carrying out research activities and educational programs. Such efforts should in every way be encouraged and expanded. �9 . In addition, we should make specific efforts in Michigan to mobilize the total educational or knowledge resources of our State to address the concerns of agriculture. We have already commented on our great land-grant university, Michigan State. But we need to rememb er that we have another great institution of higher education, the University of Michi gan, with superb resources in such fields as the physical and biological sciences, engineering, the health profess ions, the social sciences, and law. In addition, we have regional colleges and universities, community colleges, and private colleges and universities. We should consider more creative mobilization of the resources of these institutions, particularly those supported by tax revenues, in addressing the concerns of our Michigan economy and agriculture. �10 2. Michigan agriculture can be the focal point in a statewide effort to create jobs. A major concern in Michigan is the generation of new job opportunities. Some experts say·that the automobile industry and related businesses, so important to Michigan, will not employ in the future as many as in the past. Studies show also that small businesses generate the greatest number of jobs. We in agriculture must appreciate the changing role of agriculture ln our urbanizingindustrialized society. Nearly two-thirds of Michigan's farmers work off the farm at least part-time. Most new jobs in agriculture will be off the farm, but we should join with public and private forces, as well as exercising our own entrepreneurial skills, ln encouraging agribusiness enterprises which create new job opportunities for Michigan residents. �11 The excellent report "Michigan Agriculture Going Into the Eighties" by John N. Ferris and Karl T. Wright of Michigan State University provides basic information relative to prospective domestic and export demands, the comparative advantages and disadvantages for Michigan agriculture, with effects of changes in energy and transportation costs and the agricultural infrastructure. A creative analysis of such information suggests many opportunities for the development of ag-related enterprises. Some of the committee reports address this issue, at least to some extent. The conference sponsored by Detroit Edison last fall was an interesting effort in this direction which should be encouraged and pursued. If such potential is to be realized, agriculture increasingly must develop linkages with other groups. For example, we must work In concert with credit �i n s t i t u t i o n sa n dw i t hv e n t u r ec a p i t a l i s t ss ot h e y h a v e a na p p r e c i a t i o nf o ro p p o r t u n i t i e si nM i c h i g a n a g r i c u l t u r e . 3 .

First, Michigan is blessed with a great diversity of agricultural enterprise. We produce a great variety of products and rank high in the production of many. But often it would seem that this diversity has been a deterrent to coh esive action . Too often commodity groups and specialized interests dissipate most of their energy sparrin g with each other. Are there ways in which we can more effectively work together so that the richn ess of th e variety of our agriculture will be a positive eleQenL, not a problem? Second, we must also develop a cohesive voice for Michigan agriculture. At present, we have many organizations speaking for their limited interests and needs. In the public decision-making process, many voices can lead to confusion. I suggest th at �14 one goal of this conference be the development of a structure which can speak comprehensively and persuasively for the diverse interests of Michigan agriculture. Finally, I would suggest the development of an informal leadership network In agriculture, in which state leaders in agriculture -- from government, from research and the University, from industry, farming, banking -- can get together to explore common concerns and interests. This would not be a decision-making group, but rather would promote understanding and establish informational and working networks. In California there is such an organization called the Agricultural Bulls. While I am not suggesting that name for Michigan, that organizatioh serves the function and purpose I have in mind. �15 4 .

Such efforts should be doubled and redoubled, In a host of settings. planned for the 1981 }1ichigan S ta te The new feature Fair, "Agricul ture ' s Amazing Acre," is another such effort that could be replicated in every county -- and be just the start of ingenuous ways of telling a g r i c u l t u r e ' s remarkable story. There are indeed "Good Things Gr-owi.n g in Michigan" -- and everyone should know. I suspect that such a sp eci el emphasis is particularly timely now. We see it in the growing concerns for the quality of environment, the preservation of natural space and green belts, the "return to the land" movement. In visiting Europe, one senses that as a society matures, there is a growing appreciation for "the finer things of life" -- art; music; history; the joys of nature, forests, the out-of-doors. �18 To the end that the larger society of which agriculture is a vital part will be well served, leaders in agriculture should fost er, not fight, efforts which responsibly address the public's concern for our natural resources and th eir wise management. III In summary, as we mov e to th e s pe c i fi c s of th e ei ght committ ee reports, I suggest four over-riding is sue s: 1. expanded investments in r esearch and Exten sion; 2. job generation related to agriculture; 3. aggressive and cohe sive le ad ership; and 4. progr a ms to d evelop i nformed de cisio n -maker s a n d citizens. �19 In convening this meeting, Governor Milliken stated "the conference goal will be to design a plan to develop our food and fiber capabilities to their fullest." That's a big challenge -- but one which will be met by noon tomorrow. The greater challenge then comes -- to implement the plans, through persistent and patient follow-up. The greatest danger in efforts of this kind is that, after the flush of concerted d ebate, drafting and compromise, we return to the busyness of our regular lives and things go on as usual. I sense that you are too committed and concerned to let that happen. I wish you Godspeed. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
