Each of you  on campus has sincerely and devotedly committed yourselves fully to  learning, but now we know that our learning epistemology is less and  less appropriate. This is not your fault; it is simply a time of  incredible human growth; it is a time of rapid evolution in our culture;  a time of re-shaping our economy.
