Speaker. 50 years ago the Association of American Colleges was founded and dedicated to a basic premise that has been the benchmark of education in this country since the turn of the century. That premise has been the preservation and fostering of a strong and vigorous policy of liberal education throughout the country. This is an age distinguished by momentous intellectual achievement. by an exponential growth of human knowledge especially in science and technology. The ideals of liberalism in American education are rooted deeply in our countrys tradition. They have been nourished by the labor. sacrifice. and hopes of our emigrant forebears who instinctively knew that freedom without knowledge was a phantasm. that liberty divorced from truth was a travesty of human values.
