to the subject. Thus, all in all, we do not expect to produce wonder-working drugs or to dispense cure-all prescriptions but we shall search diligently for new directions to produce "a new man for a new society" . At the present we are much concerned about the strained relationships between universities and students in many parts of the world. There seems to be a danger of serious dislocation of the student, teaching and administrative sectors of the university community in a period when we need to strive together in harmony of purpose to meet the major crises of our day. The series of explosive disturbances that has shaken many of the great universities of North America and Europe and even some of the universities in the East has led us to do some real soul searching. The ol d questions are being asked in a new context. They must be answered in terms of our region. We see the danger of overburdening administrators to the point where they have time only for the pressing day-to-day decisions and the danger of failing to heed their pleas for long-term planning. I t often seems that university teachers, faced with the knowledge explosion, no longer have time or energy for anything outside their field of specialization. Important issues of moral standards and social justice seem to be left to the students. We do not think that this is so but it is evident that there are a great many people who either think it is so or would like to make it so. Whether we can do it is a question but we would like to avoid copying the West in the matter of this disruption and to build a genuine community of scholars, some of them teachers and some of them students, but all of them learners. We remind ourselves that history does not repeat itself; only historians repeat themselves. If history does repeat itself in Asia, we hope that we shall have sense enough not to repeat ourselves. I said earlier that I am keenly conscious of your role as leaders of tomorrow. As leaders of tomorrow, the responsibility of developing meaningful, mutually beneficial, and really creative relationships with other parts of the world rests on your shoulders. The education this great University has given you prepares you well for the task. I look forward to your contribution to your Alma Mater, your country and the whole humanity.
