Bulletin Supplement Aug 1969

inconvenience and the inadequacy of facilities. Each of you had to display a rare wisdom not to accomplish anything dramatic during the Workshop. For all this, we are extremely grateful. Since the Work- shop is yours, any success achieved during the Workshop is also yours. A Chinese poet once said: "Sorrow at parting often overwhelms one's soul." The sorrowful feeling at parting is sweetened by the assured knowledge that next time when we meet, something positive will have been achieved, because as agents of change, we have only one direction to go, that is, change for the better. I X . The New Beg i nn i ng Many participants took the opportunity at the conclusion of Dr. Li's remarks to express their satisfaction with and to enumerate the benefits they derived from attendance at the Workshop. They described the Workshop as a unique experience which had given them personal inspiration as well as a clearer insight into their various problems. There was general agreement that the combination of formal talks and informal discussions had produced fruitful results and promoted mutual understanding which would have been difficult to achieve otherwise. The consensus was that similar Workshops should be continued, preferably once every two years. Now that a clearer insight has been gained into the problems of higher education in Asia, it remains for the individual institutions to initiate programmes of action designed to resolve existing difficulties. As agents of change, it is incumbent upon the universities and colleges in Asia to devise means of overcoming present obstacles and to strive for a "New Beginning". The success of the Workshop will depend i n large measure upon the aggressiveness with which approved programmes are implemented.
