In the opening "Message from the Dean" published in the Fall 2001 issue of Terry Magazine, the alumni magazine of the Terry college of Business, Dean Benson wrote:
"Growth Comes Through Change"
The events of September 11 have touched us all in profound and deeply personal ways. In the weeks since our national tragedy, we've struggled to adjust to a world that has suddenly, irrevocably changed. Economics professor David McCord Wright, before he died in 1968, preached to his Georgia students that "growth comes through change and causes change." I've heard his former students, people like U.S. Sen. Phil Gramm, Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Bob McTeer and former Reagan budget director Jim Miller, repeat the mantra of their old mentor as if he were still in the room looking over their shoulders. The terrorists who attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were striking against that which causes change -- growth, be it economic globalism or social pluralism. Ironically, as time will reveal, the terrorists' attacks have wrought changes in the peoples of the free world that will cause growth in the interrelationships and understanding among nations and ethnic groups. Ultimately, these changes will fuel the global growth of private enterprise and economic prosperity.
