  *>;* At the dawn of a new decade, Americans are deeply concerned with the vola-
· _ t tile international situation and, at home, by the twin crises of energy supply and
p A     inflation. In such times, it is easy to become mired in defeatism. And yet, as we
A     enter the Eighties, the outlook is not necessarily one of unremitting despair.
,   A In a recent visit to Kentucky, historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., contrasted our
  , E present situation with that of 1940, when the nation was emerging from a calami-
V "" · Y   tous depression and facing the virtual certainty of a world war. As compared to
y fst
l i y ar it   § our 1940 position, Mr. Schlesinger concluded, "our problems of today, intrac-
* -(   r , S . .
  § table though they seem, are mcons1derable."
”   So it is that, whatever changes our society may undergo, I continue to believe
·   that universities will retain their importance for the societies that created and con-
  ; tinue to support them. And I am convinced that higher education will continue to
    be one of this society’s primary instruments for the fullest development of human
  potential.
4 ;, ; **   For that reason, I am confident that the Commonwealth of Kentucky will
  continue to support its primary university for as long as this institution performs
  1tS threefold mission of teaching, research, and public service. The lrfe and destiny
  of this University are inextricably woven into the life and destiny of the Com-
  , monwealth: the wel1—being of each is dependent upon the concern and quality of
    the other.—Otis A. Singletary, President
