The Threshold of Greatness
Because we are so dedicated to the present and to seeing but one thing at a time, because we are so consumed in our own little worlds, so blind at times, because of our very nearness to the lives we are living, we cast dark shadows over the truths it would be to our advantage to see.
Kentucky is on the Threshold of Greatness . . . through progress in building, through progress in education, through progress in research.
These are the truths that should be understood, these are the truths to which we are blind, these are the truths which make the university great.
Because each of us has separate and different memories about many of the same things, this book will be a solitude of sorts, an attempted exploration of individual memories.
Kentuckyon the Threshold of Greatness . . . with credit due her professors, her students, and her citizens.
Truly a great statetruly a great university.
