President Michael F. Adams
The events of September 11 have made a perennially important topic-international security-even more critical. As we move beyond disbelieving what we saw on television that morning, and as the anger gives way to sadness and grief, it becomes time to engage in constructive dialogue about our future.
*That is the role that this symposium-and, in a larger sense, this university-can play. Universities are the places where those important discussions can take place, where ideas can be shared, where insight into complex and difficult issues can be offered.
This kind of event is the very essence of what a university is about. Even if you or I don't agree with everything that is said, I will defend to my last breath the right to say those things. If we don't provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, we abrogate our responsibility.
We will not solve this problem today, but we will be part of the process.
