and our unparalleled friends gathered here and across the globe virtually, i welcome you to this very special moment in time. today, we continue a 265- year-old tradition that binds us with a sense of pride and hope and of deep and never-ending curiosity.we initiate those who are committed to a world of openness and debate, who have learned the power of discovering the unknown and who have accepted the great responsibility that comes with acquiring knowledge into a community steadfastly poised to shape our world for the better. at the end of our time together today, joining a legacy of those who have come before them, we will have a new class of alumni representing 16 distinct schools along with affiliated institutions of teachers college and bernard college.the potential for trouble is palpable. and as we explore the profound meaning of this moment, there is one special part of our community deserves unique recognition. graduates, as much as we, your faculty, feel deep, deep affection for you, nothing can compare to the pure, unqualified adoration of your parents and families, though you will never be able to express fully the infinite gratitude i know you feel, please take this opportunity to thank them.for my remarks today, i have three parts. i want to talk about the idea of the academy, about the enemies of the search for truth and about what we are to do.in awarding you the degrees in your respective field, we recognize your academic accomplishment and now acknowledge your expertise in some area of study. but you are now also an expert in higher education in america, simply by virtue of your presence and deep engagement with this little world over the past several years.英语演讲稿2this means two things. first, whether you are happy or sad about leaving us behind, whether you will return for another round of being a student, or you are intent on rejoining us, at some point, in a professorial capacity and becoming a permanent member of this community, i can assure you that this is true, what you have just experienced with stay with you for the rest your lives and in all likelihood it will take on greater and greater meaning with the passage of time.the second point is that i want to ask you this morning to take stock of what is now your deep and experiential knowledge about the nature and roles of universities like columbia and with that knowledge to reflect on the state of modern society and the threats that were now facing to the deepest values that undergird these institutions, to reflect on what is at stake in our own country and for the people over the world. we need to raise our voices at the time, such as this.the idea of the academy as something separate and discrete removed from daily life is as old as human civilization. the desire to step back from the fray, to grasp what is happening at this moment in history, to find a meaning to it all and to find out what is good life is forever with us. who hasnt at one point or another wanted to emulate michel de montaigne.if only we could take up residence in a tower on a beautiful state and write essays connecting the wisdom of the ancients with contemporary human existence and in that self-reflective pose discover our true purpose and meaning. this is a secret dream we all harbor.as always shakespeare was familiar with this dream, and we used it to give us many notable characters whose pursuit of this ideal often ended in trouble.英语演讲稿3theres prospero in the tempest, while the duke of milan he wishes quote to only be transported and wrapped in the secret study and he feels his library large enough. this, however, creates the opportunity for this evil brother to stage a coup, landing him on a remote island were to be sure his dark arts mastered in secret study come in handy, as may yours.or theres ferdinand, king of loves labors lost, who enlisted three subordinates to join him as quote brave conquerors who will forswear the baser impulses of love, food and sleep in order to study and learn only to be confounded in his dedication when he finds himself falling in love.i suspect that many of you during your time here have lived closer to the experience of ferdinand than to the experience of prospero.the advent of modern american university which largely happened in the last century has been the institutionalization of that human dream and this little physical space in which we gather together this morning is in many respects the near perfect fulfillment of that human vision. i know no other that can match it.the columns, pillars, pediments, demes, classical inscriptions ascending steps, granite and limestone and marble and brick facades, which surround us convey the message that this is its own universe, a place governed by strictly observed code of academic inquiry, an insistence on open dialogue, informed by all-pervading skepticism and respect for the legacy of human achievement, created about a century ago, the morningside campus represents the idea of an ordered, classical and even inward-looking world. to walk on to this campus is to feel ones i.q go up by 10 points.英语演讲稿4part of the genius of this system of universities involves adding you into the mix. it is the combination of brilliant scholars who dedicate their lives to exploring what we know, might know and must know about all the things in the universe, who work daily at the edge of accumulated human knowledge, sheltered by the principle of academic freedom, guided by the norms of scholarly temperament, working within the decentralized governance structure of the university. together with the most brilliant and curious youth brought in from all over the world, to whom we teach everything we know so that they can go on with their lives and know even more.it is all this that creates the utterly unique context of the modern research university and that unites the exhilarating intertwined ambitions of scholarship and teaching. the structure and functioning of these institutions are unique, no other organization has ever been designed in these ways, nor would it seem to anyone sensible to do。from the outside, all look ungovernable. from the inside, and i can singularly attest to this, it is ungovernable, and it works and fabulously so.over the course of the 20th, and now the 21st centuries, virtually every new discovery of significance emanated from our academic research institutions which now number in the hundreds.my friend, our distinguished alumnus warren buffet likes to say that the american system operates with a secret sauce that has brought this nation to the pinnacle of human success in maximizing the welfare of its people, but that secret sauce begins with the knowledge created right here.英语演讲稿5over time, our great research universities drive human progress. they lay the foundation of life as it can be, more than capitalism, more than government policy. in life, personal and social ideals are everything or almost everything, and universities are all about ideas, so it works.that is, it works provided certain conditions outside the academy are maintained. universities are not invulnerable to the actions beyond their borders and they depend for their vitality on the societal respect for and commitment to what we donow, the enemies of the search for truth. what is important to
