Many outstanding scholars have gone on from here to make important contributions to higher education, global awareness and the advancement of society.Such contributions were never more crucial than they are today. To realize the full potential of the United Nations in addressing the challenges of an increasingly complex world, we must bring to the task both a political and an intellectual commitment. At this time of profound change, institutions such as yours take on increased importance in world affairs. They help to uncover the dimensions of change; they construct an intellectual platform upon which a better future can be built. I therefore commend the University initiative to host a Forum devoted to the theme of higher education in the next millennium.Inspired by the intellectual and spiritual level of thinking that has for so long been sustained by this great seat of learning, I know that you will continue to use your knowledge, vision and powers of analysis to help address the issues of our times. Therein lies a source of hope that humanity will prosper, and that the objectives upon which the United Nations was founded will come closer to being achieved.
