美国名校毕业典礼演讲

美国名校毕业典礼演讲之1. Steve Jobs 史蒂芬·乔布斯CEO of Apple Computers 苹果电脑CEO Stanford University 斯坦福大学June 12, 2005 2005年6月12日Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma —which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.记着你总会死去,这是我知道的防止患得患失的最佳办法。

赤条条来去无牵挂,还有什么理由不随你的心?你的时间是有限的,因此不要把时间浪费在过别人的生活上。

不要被教条所困——使自己的生活受限于他人的思想成果。

不要让他人的意见淹没了你自己内心的声音。

最重要的是,要有勇气跟随你的内心与直觉,它们好歹已经知道你真正想让自己成为什么。

其他的,都是次要的。

2005年5月21日There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and say s, “Morning, boys. How's the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?”... simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over: “This is water.”“This is water.”It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out.有两条小鱼一起在水里游,碰到一条老鱼迎面游过来。

老鱼向他们点点头,并说:“早上好,孩子们。

水怎么样?”这两条小鱼继续往前游了一会儿后,其中一条小鱼实在忍不住了,看了一下另一条小鱼,问道:“水到底是什么东西?”……简单的意识;对我们生活中如此真实、如此必不可少、无处不在、无时不在的事物的意识,需要我们一遍一遍地提醒自己:“这是水。

”“这是水。

”天天都保持意识清醒而鲜活,在成人世界中做到这点,是不可想象地难。

美国名校毕业典礼演讲之3. Michael Uslan 迈克尔·奥斯兰Movie Producer 电影制片人Indiana University 印第安纳大学May 06, 2006 2006年5月6日You must believe in yourself and in your work. When our first Batman movie broke all those box-office records, I received a phone call from that United Artists exec who, years before, had told me I was out of my mind. Now he said, “Michael, I'm just calling to congratulate you on the success of Batman. I always said you were a visionary.” You see the point here — don't believe them when they tell you how bad you are or how terrible your ideas are, but also, don't believe them when they tell you how wonderful you are and how great your ideas are. Just believe in yourself and you'll do just fine. And, oh yes, don't then forget to market yourself and your ideas. Use both sides of your brain.You must have a high threshold for frustration. Take it from the guy who was turned down by every studio in Hollywood. You must knock on doors until your knuckles bleed. Doors will slam in your face. You must pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and knock again. It's the only way to achieve your goals in life.你必须相信你自己,对自己的工作充满信心。

当我们的第一部电影《蝙蝠侠》创下史无前例的票房纪录时,我接到了艺术家联合会会长的电话,他在数年之前曾说我疯了。

如今他说:“迈克尔,我给你打电话祝贺《蝙蝠侠》的成功。

我总说你是一位有远见的人。

”你看,关键在这里,当他们说你有多差,你的想法有多糟的时候,不要信他们的话,同时,当他们告诉你你有多么了不起,你的想法多美妙时,也不要相信他们。

你就只相信你自己,这样你就能做好。

还有,那就是,不要忘记推销你自己和你的想法。

左右大脑你都得用。

要能经受得住挫败。

这是被好莱坞每一家制片厂拒绝过的人的经验。

你必须去敲一扇扇的门,直到指关节流血。

大门会在你面前砰然关上,你必须重振旗鼓,弹去身上的灰尘,再敲下一扇门。

这是实现你人生目标的唯一办法。

美国名校毕业典礼演讲之4. Woody Hayes 伍迪·海耶斯College Fooball Coach 大学橄榄球教练Ohio State University 俄亥俄州立大学May 14, 1986 1986年5月14日In football we always said that the other team couldn't beat us. We had to be sure that we didn't beat ourselves. And that’s what people have to do, too — make sure they don't beat themselves.... you'll find out that nothing that comes easy is worth a dime. As a matter of fact, I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face. Never.在橄榄球场上,我们总是说其他队战胜不了我们。

我们必须做到不把自己打垮。

所有人也都必须这么做,确保自己不要被自己打垮。

……你会发现,来得容易的东西总是一文不值。

事实上,我从来没有看到哪位橄榄球运动员是带着微笑完成阻截的。

从来没有。

美国名校毕业典礼演讲之5. Bradley Whitford 布兰德利·惠特福德Actor 演员University Wisconsin - Madison 威斯康辛大学麦迪逊分校May 17, 2006 2006年5月17日Number One: Fall in love with the process and the results will follow.Number Two: Do your work.Number Three: Once you're prepared, throw your preparation in the trash.Number Four: You are capable of more than you think.Number Five: Listen.Number Six: Take action.You have a choice. You can either be a passive victim of circumstance or you can be the active hero of your own life. Action is the antidote to apathy and cynicism and despair.第一,爱上过程,结果自然会来。

第二,做你的事。

第三,一旦准备好,就付诸行动。

第四,你能做的,超出了你的想象。

哈佛大学校长德鲁·福斯特在哈佛大学2023年毕业典礼英语演讲稿

哈佛大学校长德鲁·福斯特在哈佛大学2023年毕业典礼英语演讲稿IntroductionDear graduates, esteemed faculty, proud parents, and honored guests, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 2023 Harvard University commencement ceremony.We are gathered here today to celebrate the achievement of our graduates, who are receiving diplomas and degrees that represent their dedicated study and hard work over the past several years. This is also a moment to reflect on the meaning of education, on the value of learning, and on the importance of using our knowledge and skills to make a positive impact on the world.Embracing a Changing WorldAs we look out at the rapidly changing world around us, we see both immense challenges and incredible opportunities. Climate change, pandemics, economic inequality, and social injustice are just a few of the complex issues that our society must confront in the coming years. However, with these challenges come opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and progress.As graduates of Harvard University, you have been given a world-class education, and you are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and critical thinking abilities to make a positive impact on the world. You have the ability to create new technologies, to solve complex problems, and to work towards a more just and equitable society.The Importance of CharacterBut it is not enough to simply possess the skills and knowledge needed to make a difference. Equally important is the development of your character, your sense of purpose and integrity, and your commitment to making a positive impact on the world.As you embark on your post-graduation careers, I encourage you to be guided by a sense of purpose and a commitment to making a positive difference in the world. To be true leaders, you must embody the values of honesty, integrity, and empathy. You must be willing to take risks, to challenge existing norms, and to work towards a better future for all.Closing ThoughtsAs you leave Harvard University today, know that you are part of a long and proud tradition of scholarship, innovation, and leadership. You are part of a community of exceptional individuals who share a commitment to making a positive impact on the world.I wish you all the best as you begin the next chapter of your lives, and I encourage you to embrace the challenges that lie ahead, to remain guided by your sense of purpose, and to always use your education and skills to make a meaningful and positive impact on the world.Congratulations, Class of 2023!。

一位美国华盛顿大学学生的毕业演讲稿三篇

一位美国华盛顿大学学生的毕业演讲稿三篇

一位美国华盛顿大学学生的毕业演讲稿Student Speech Delivered at the Washington University Engineering Graduate Student Recognition Ceremony15 May 1997Lorrie Faith CranorFaculty, family, friends, and fellow graduates, good evening.I am honored to address you tonight. On behalf of the graduating masters and doctoral students of Washington University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, I would like to thank all the parents, spouses, families, and friends who encouraged and supported us as we worked towards our graduate degrees. I would especially like to thank my own family, eight members of which are in the audience today. I would also like to thank all of the department secretaries and other engineering school staff members who always seemed to be there when confused graduate students needed help. And finally I would like to thank the Washington University faculty members who served as our instructors, mentors, and friends.As I think back on the seven-and-a-half years I spent at Washington University, my mind is filled with memories, happy, sad, frustrating, and even humorous.Tonight I would like to share with you some of the memories that I take with me as I leave Washington University.I take with me the memory of my office on the fourth floor of Lopata Hall - the room at the end of the hallway that was too hot in summer, too cold in winter, and always too far away fromthe women's restroom. The window was my office's best feature. Were it not for the physics building across the way, it would have afforded me a clear view of the arch. But instead I got a view of the roof of the physics building. I also had a view of one corner of the roof of Urbauer Hall, which seemed to be a favorite perch for various species of birds who alternately won perching rights for several weeks at a time. And I had a nice view of the physics courtyard, noteworthy as a good place for watching people run their dogs. It's amazing how fascinating these views became the longer I worked on mmy dissertation. But my favorite view was of a nearby oak tree. From my fourth-floor vantage point I had a rather intimate view of the tree and the various birds and squirrels that inhabit it. Occasionally a bird would land on my window sill, which usually had the effect of startling both of us.I take with me the memory of two young professors who passed away while I was a graduate student. Anne Johnstone, the only female professor from whom I took a course in the engineering school, and Bob Durr, a political science professor and a member of my dissertation committee, both lost brave battles with cancer. I remember them fondly.I take with me the memory of failing the first exam in one of the first engineering courses I took as an undergraduate. I remember thinking the course was just too hard for me and that I would never be able to pass it. So I went to talk to the professor, ready to drop the ClAsS. And he told me not to giveup, he told me I could succeed in his ClAsS. For reasons that seemed completely ludicrous at the time, he said he had faith in me. And after that my grades in the ClAsS slowly improved, and I ended the semester with an A on the final exam. I remember how motivational it was to know that someone believed in me.I take with me memories of the midwestern friendliness that so surprised me when I arrived in St. Louis 8 years ago. Since moving to New Jersey, I am sad to say, nobody has asked me where I went to high school.I take with me the memory of the short-lived computer science graduate student social committee lunches. The idea was that groups of CS grad students were supposed to take turns cooking a monthly lunch. But after one grad student prepared a pot of chicken that poisoned almost the entire CS grad student population and one unlucky faculty member in one fell swoop, there wasn't much enthusiasm for having more lunches.I take with me the memory of a more successful graduate student effort, the establishment of the Association of Graduate Engineering Students, known as AGES. Started by a handful of engineering graduate students because we needed a way to elect representatives to a campus-wide graduate student government, AGES soon grew into an organization that now sponsors a wide variety of activities and has been instrumental in addressing a number of engineering graduate student concerns.I take with me the memory of an Engineering and Policy department that once had flourishing programs for full-time undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students.I take with me memories of the 1992 U.S. Presidential debate. Eager to get involved in all the excitement I volunteered to help wherever needed. I remember spending several days in the makeshift debate HQ giving out-of-town reporters directions to the athletic complex. I remember being thrilled to get assigned the job of collecting film from the photographers in the debate hall during the debate. And I remember the disappointment of drawing the shortest straw among the student volunteers and being the one who had to take the film out of the debate hall and down to the dark room five minutes into the debate - with no chance to re-enter the debate hall after I left.I take with me memories of university holidays which never seemed to apply to graduate students. I remember spending many a fall break and President's Day holiday with my fellow grad students in all day meetings brought to us by the computer science department.I take with me memories of exams that seemed designed more to test endurance and perseverance than mastery of the subject matter. I managed to escape taking any ClAsSes that featured infamous 24-hour-take-home exams, but remember the suffering of my less fortunate colleagues. And what doctoral student could forget the pain and suffering one must endure to survive the qualifying exams?I take with me the memory of the seven-minute rule, which always seemed to be an acceptable excuse for being ten minutes late for anything on campus, but which doesn't seem to apply anywhere else I go.I take with me the memory of Friday afternoon ACM happy hours, known not for kegs of beer, but rather bowls of rainbow sherbet punch. Over the several years that I attended these happy hours they enjoyed varying degrees of popularity, often proportional to the quality and quantity of the accompanying refreshments - but there was always the rainbow sherbert punch. I take with me memories of purple parking permits, the West Campus shuttle, checking my pendaflex, over-due library books, trying to print from cec, lunches on Delmar, friends who slept in their offices, miniature golf in Lopata Hall, The Greenway Talk, division III basketball, and trying to convince Dean Russel that yet another engineering school rule should be changed.Finally, I would like to conclude, not with a memory, but with some advice. What would a graduation speech be without a little advice, right? Anyway, this advice comes in the form of a verse delivered to the 1977 graduating ClAsS of Lake Forest College by Theodore Seuss Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. Seuss - Here's how it goes:My uncle ordered popoversmust spit out the air!"And . . .as you partake of the world's bill of fare,that's darned good advice to follow.Do a lot of spitting out the hot air.And be careful what you swallow.Thank you.学生毕业庆典演讲稿每年这时候,我们校园里都纠缠着留恋:睡在你上铺或下铺的兄弟同学,暗恋了数年的某个同学,“文泉”或“文澜”,“必逃的选修课和选逃的必修课”,对了,还有严老师,以及那已成为你青春之象征的钟塔。

在这里,我们不仅学习知识,更学会如何成为一个有担当、有情怀、有责任的人。

下面,我想从三个方面谈谈我的思考和感悟。

一、追求卓越,做最好的自己在芝加哥大学,我们学到了许多专业知识,但这些知识只是我们人生旅途中的一个小片段。

真正的学习,是不断追求卓越,做最好的自己。

首先,我们要树立远大理想。

理想是人生的指南针,指引我们不断前行。

在人生的道路上,我们总会遇到各种困难和挫折。

面对困难,我们要勇敢地站起来,挑战自我,突破自我。

正如芝加哥大学校长约翰·德雷克所说:“成功不是终点,而是奋斗的过程。

”我们要在追求卓越的过程中,不断提升自己,成为更好的自己。

最后,我们要学会感恩。

感恩是一种美好的品质,它让我们懂得珍惜,懂得付出。

在人生的道路上,我们要感谢那些关心、帮助过我们的人,感谢他们让我们成长、进步。

同时,我们也要学会回馈社会,将爱心传递给更多的人。

二、关注社会,践行社会责任作为一名芝加哥大学的毕业生,我们要关注社会,关注民生,践行社会责任。

首先,我们要关注国家发展。

一个国家的繁荣昌盛,离不开每一个公民的共同努力。

我们要关心国家大事,关注国家战略,为实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦贡献自己的力量。

奥普拉在美国斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲_毕业典礼发言稿_

奥普拉在美国斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲除了我们中国一些经典的名人致辞演讲,在美国也有很多名人的演讲给我带来启发和感悟。

下面是小编搜集整理的奥普拉在美国斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲,欢迎阅读。

更多资讯请继续关注毕业典礼栏目。

奥普拉·温弗瑞,美国著名电视节目主持人,美国第一位黑人亿万富翁,被称为“脱口秀女皇”,她主持的电视谈话节目《奥普拉脱口秀》(已于2019年停播)收视率连续2019年排在同类节目的首位。

2019年,她被普林斯顿大学授予荣誉博士学位。

过去几周,只要有人问我忙什么,我就说:“我准备去斯坦福大学演讲。

”事实上,我连田纳西州立大学都没有毕业。

其实,这整个世界,我们所居住的宇宙,就像个大教室,等着我们一个学分一个学分地去学习,有时我们也不得不去重修、补考。

我的秘诀是——毫不迟疑地打开试卷,用真正的我去面对,从中自我改进,追求更深层次的理解、被理解与成长。

这就是我今天要谈的三件事:感觉、失败与快乐。

大学退学一年后,巴尔的摩地方电视台让我播报《晨间新闻》。

当时22岁的我,为此得意极了,心想终于可以实现自己的梦想,成为一个知名的美女主播了。

直到我40岁时,我很高兴当时的美梦并没成真。

因为一开始我的“感觉”就不对。

先是电视台要求我改个名字,改成一个比较容易记、带点甜姐儿气质的名字。

我越想越不对,心想:“不管怎样,那终究不是我的名字。

”因此坚持不换名字。

接着电视主管又说他们不喜欢我的长相,的确,我不是传统标准的美女。

于是他们就把我的头发烫起来,没几天,卷发全垮下来,怎么梳也不行,我只好全部剃光,从头来过。

不过最让我难受的是整天播报那些悲惨的新闻。

虽然我知道记者的职责只是记录报道,但直觉告诉我,我必须为这些人做点什么。

于是我开始在报道火灾的同时,也给灾民送上毛毯。

8个月后,我被新闻台开除了,但受制于我们签的合约,他们把我转去主持一个谈话节目。

我一上场,立刻感觉这才是我真正要做的。

我发现电视不只是娱乐,也能帮助人。

泰勒斯威夫特在纽约大学毕业典礼演讲稿

泰勒斯威夫特在纽约大学毕业典礼演讲稿大家好!作为毕业生的代表,今日在这庄重的毕业典礼上,代表全体毕业生在此发言,我深感荣幸。

首先,我代表全体同学向学院的各位老师说声:您们辛苦了!向朝夕相处的兄弟姐妹道声:连续努力!几年的高校时间如白驹过隙,转瞬即逝。

弹指一挥间,我们已从渴求学问的新生,成长为略有所成的毕业生。

信任高校生活里的酸、甜、苦、辣,给每个人留下了弥足珍贵的回忆;信任高校几年的学习会成为每个人将来进展的不竭动力。

经受了高校几年的紧急和劳碌,我此刻的心情应当和在座的各位同学一样,纵然喜悦,也掩不住回忆与留恋。

面对母校, 即将毕业的我们感慨万千。

正是由于您的培育,使我们在进展方向上拥有充分的共性空间;正是由于您的关怀,使我们可以自信地面队任何困难困苦;正是由于您的呵护,才使得我们顺当完成学业,获得连续深造与建功立业的机会;正是你的宽容,使我们可以犯错,可以按自己的方式,按自己的抱负爱好学会生活。

几年的课堂,老师们或滔滔不绝,或循循善诱,或旁征博引的风格,为我们呈现了学问的无限魅力。

假如黑板就是浩淼的大海,那么,老师便是海上的水手。

铃声响起那刻,你用教职工鞭作浆,划动那船只般泊在港口的课本。

课桌上,那难题堆放, 如同暗礁一样布列,你手势生动如一只飞行的鸟,在讲台上挥一条美丽弧线一一船只穿过……天空飘不来一片云,如同你亮堂堂的心,一派高远。

或许还有一些圆满吧,那么多精彩的讲座,我们已经来不及倾听;那么多精彩的活动,我们已经来不及参加。

或许还有一些愧疚吧,面对慈父严母般的老师,我们总能杜撰出各种逃课的理由。

面对仔细批改作业的各科老师,我们许多时候都只能拿出一个版本。

这几年的高校生活里,我们收获了太多,也错过了太多,而时间从未像现在这样吝啬,连一分一秒也不愿多留给我们。

我们总以为自己已经长大,总以为自己可以毫不在乎,但当离别就这样不依不饶地到来的时候,才觉察自己与这个集体已经血脉相连,荣辱与共了。

最近,我经常考虑一个问题:假如我可以再度过一次高校生活,又会选择怎样的生活方式?会努力地追求些什么?放弃些什么?有些问题真的会有和当时不一样的答案。

拜登大学毕业典礼演讲稿

大家好!今天,我们齐聚在这美丽的校园,共同见证一个庄严而神圣的时刻——拜登大学毕业典礼。

首先,请允许我代表全体毕业生,向辛勤培养我们的老师们表示最诚挚的感谢!向关心和支持我们的家长们表示最衷心的感谢!向一直以来陪伴我们成长的朋友们表示最真挚的感谢!此刻,我感到无比自豪和激动。

我们即将走出校园,踏上新的征程。

在这个特殊的时刻,我想与大家分享一些我的感悟和期望。

首先,我想说的是,大学时光是我们人生中最宝贵的时光之一。

在这里,我们不仅学到了知识,更学会了如何做人。

我们学会了独立思考,学会了批判性思维,学会了团队合作,学会了承担责任。

这些宝贵的品质将伴随我们一生,成为我们人生道路上的宝贵财富。

同学们,你们即将迈入社会,面对的是一个充满挑战和机遇的世界。

在这个世界里,我们要勇敢地追求梦想,坚定地信念,不断提升自己。

以下是我对大家的几点期望:第一,坚守初心,砥砺前行。

不忘初心,方得始终。

我们每个人心中都怀揣着一个梦想,这个梦想可能是一份事业,也可能是一种信仰。

无论我们的梦想是什么,都要坚守初心,勇往直前。

在追求梦想的过程中,我们会遇到困难和挫折,但只要我们坚定信念,砥砺前行,就一定能够实现我们的梦想。

第二,勇于担当,承担责任。

人生的意义在于担当。

作为新时代的青年,我们要勇敢地承担起自己的责任。

无论是在家庭中,还是在工作中,都要尽自己最大的努力去做好。

我们要学会关心他人,关爱社会,用自己的行动去影响和改变这个世界。

第三,终身学习,不断进步。

知识改变命运,学习成就未来。

在这个知识更新换代速度如此之快的时代,我们要树立终身学习的观念,不断提升自己的综合素质。

只有不断学习,才能适应社会的发展,才能在激烈的市场竞争中立于不败之地。

第四,关爱自然,保护环境。

地球是我们共同的家园,保护环境就是保护我们自己。

我们要关爱自然,尊重生命,积极参与环保行动。

从自身做起,从小事做起,为地球的可持续发展贡献自己的力量。

第五,传承文化,弘扬民族精神。

Pretty soon they’ll be asking whether youhave academics to go along with your athletic programs.My personal connection to Harvard began in 1964, when I graduated from Johns HopkinsUniversity in Baltimore and matriculated here at the B-School.You’re probably asking: How did I ever get into Harvard Business School, given my stellaracademic record, where I always made the top half of the class possible? I have no idea. Andthe only people more surprised than me were my professors.Anyway, here I am again back in Cambridge. And I have noticedthat a few things havechanged since I was a student here. Elsie’s –a sandwich spot I used to love near the Square –is now a burrito shop. The Wursthaus –which had great beer and sausage –is now an artisanalgastro-pub, whatever the heck that is. And the old Holyoke Center is now named the SmithCampus Center.Don’t you just hat e it when alumni put their names all over everything? I was thinking aboutthat this morning as I walked into the Bloomberg Center on the Harvard Business Schoolcampus across the river.But the good news is, Harvard remains what it was when I first ar rived on campus 50 yearsago: America’s most prestigious university. And, like other great universities, it lies at theheart of the American e某periment in democracy.Their purpose is not only to advance knowledge, but to advance the ideals of our nation. Greatuniversities are places where people of all backgrounds, holding all beliefs, pursuing allquestions, can come to study and debate their ideas – freely and openly.Today, I’d like to talk with you about how important it is for that freedom to e某ist for everyone,no matter how strongly we may disagree with another’s viewpoint.Tolerance for other people’s ideas, and the freedom to e某press your own, are inseparable valuesat great universities. Joined together, they form a sacred trust that holds the basis of ourdemocratic society.But that trust is perpetually vulnerable to the tyrannical tendencies of monarchs, mobs, andmajorities. And lately, we have seen those tendencies manifest themselves too often, both oncollege campuses and in our society.That’s the bad news – and unfortunately, I think both Harvard, and my own city of New York,have been witnesses to this trend.First, for New York City. Several years ago, as you may remember, some people tried to stopthe development of a mosque a few blocks from the World Trade Center site.It was an emotional issue, and polls showed that two-thirds of Americans were against amosque being built there. Even the Anti-Defamation League –widely regarded as the country’smost arden t defender of religious freedom – declared its opposition to the project.The opponents held rallies and demonstrations. They denounced the developers. And theydemanded that city government stop its construction. That was their right – and we protectedtheir right to protest. But they could not have been more wrong. And we refused to cave in totheir demands.The idea that government would single out a particular religion, and block its believers – andonly its believers – from building a house of worship in a particular area is diametricallyopposed to the moral principles that gave rise to our great nation and the constitutionalprotections that have sustained it.Our union of 50 states rests on the union of two values: freedom and tolerance. And it is thatunion of values that the terrorists who attacked us on September 11th, 2019 – and on April15th, 2019 – found most threatening.To them, we were a God-less country.But in fact, there is no country that protects the core of every faith and philosophy known tohuman kind – free will – more than the United States of America. That protection, however,rests upon our constant vigilance.We like to think that the principle of separation of church and state is settled. It is not. And itnever will be. It is up to us to guard it fiercely – and to ensure that equality under the lawmeansequality under the law for everyone.If you want the freedom to worship as you wish, to speak as you wish, and to marry whom youwish, you must tolerate my freedom to do so – or not do so – as well.What I do may offend you. You may find my actions immoral or unjust. But attempting torestrict my freedoms – in ways that you would not restrict your own – leads only to injustice.We cannot deny others the rights and privileges that we demand for ourselves. And that is truein cities – and it is no less true at universities, where the forces of repression appear to bestronger now than they have been since the 1950s.When I was growing up, U.S. Senator Joe McCarthy was asking: ‘Are you now or have you everbeen?’ He was attempting to repress and criminalize those who sympathized with an economicsystem that was, even then, failing.McCarthy’s Red Scare destroyed thousands of lives, but wh at was he so afraid of? An idea – inthis case, communism – that he and others deemed dangerous.But he was right about one thing: Ideas can be dangerous. They can change society. They canupend traditions. They can start revolutions. That’s why throug hout history, those in authorityhave tried to repress ideas that threaten their power, their religion, their ideology, or theirreelection chances.That was true for Socrates and Galileo, it was true for Nelson Mandela and Václav Havel, and ithas been true for Ai Wei Wei, Pussy Riot, and the kids who made the ‘Happy’ video in Iran.Repressing free e某pression is a natural human weakness, and it is up to us to fight it at everyturn. Intolerance of ideas – whether liberal or conservative – is antithetical to individualrights and freesocieties, and it is no less antithetical to great universities and first-ratescholarship.There is an idea floating around college campuses – including here at Harvard – that scholarsshould be funded only if their work conforms to a particular view of justice. There’s a word forthat idea: censorship. And it is just a modern-day form of McCarthyism.Think about the irony: In the 1950s, the right wing was attempting to repress left wing ideas.Today, on many college campuses, it is liberals trying to repress conservative ideas, even asconservative faculty members are at risk of becoming an endangered species. And perhapsnowhere is that more true than here in the Ivy League.In the 2019 presidential race, according to Federal Election Commission data, 96 percent of allcampaign contributions from Ivy League faculty and employees went to Barack Obama.Ninety-si某 percent. There was more disagreement among the old Soviet Politburo than there isamong Ivy League donors.That statistic should give us pause – and I say that as someone who endorsed President Obamafor reelection – because let me tell you, neither party has a monopoly on truth or God on itsside.When 96 percent of Ivy League donors prefer one candidate to another, you have to wonderwhether students are being e某posed to the diversity of views that a great university shouldoffer.Diversity of gender, ethnicity, and orientation is important. But a university cannot be great ifits faculty is politically homogenous. In fact, the whole purpose of granting tenure to professorsis to ensure that they feel free to conduct research on ideas that run afoul of university politicsand societal norms.When tenure was created, it mostly protected liberals whoseideas ran up against conservativenorms.Today, if tenure is going to continue to e某ist, it must also protect conservatives whose ideasrun up against liberal norms. Otherwise, university research – and the professors who conductit –will lose credibility.Great universities must not become predictably partisan. And a liberal arts education mustnot be an education in the art of liberalism.The role of universities is not to promote an ideology. It is to provide scholars and studentswith a neutral forum for researching and debating issues – without tipping the scales in onedirection, or repressing unpopular views.Requiring scholars – and commencement speakers, for that matter –to conform to certainpolitical standards undermines the whole purpose of a university.This spring, it has been disturbing to see a number of college commencement speakerswithdraw – or have their invitations rescinded – after protests from students and – to me,shockingly – from senior faculty and administrators who should know better.It happened at Brandeis, Haverford, Rutgers, and Smith. Last year, it happened at Swarthmoreand Johns Hopkins, I’m sorry to say.In each case, liberals silenced a voice –and denied an honorary degree – to individuals theydeemed politically objectionable. That is an outrage and we must not let it continue.If a university thinks twice before inviting a commencement speaker because of his or herpolitics censorship and conformity – the mortal enemies of freedom – win out.And sadly, it is not just commencement season when speakers are censored.Last fall, when I was still in City Hall, our PoliceCommissioner was invited to deliver a lecture atanother Ivy League institution –but he was unable to do so because students shouted himdown.Isn’t the purpose of a university to stir discussion, not silence it? What were the studentsafraid of hearing? Why did administrators not step in to prevent the mob from silencingspeech? And did anyone consider that it is morally and pedagogically wrong to deprive otherstudents the chance to hear the speech?I’m sure all of today’s graduates have read John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty. But allow me to read ashort passage from it: ‘The peculiar evil of silencing the e某pression of an opinion is, that it isrobbing the human race; posterity as well as the e某isting generation; those who dissent fromthe opinion, still more than those who hold it.’ He continued: ‘If the opinion is right, they are de prived of the opportunity of e某changingerror for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perceptionand livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.’ Mill would have been horrified to learn of university students silencing the opinions of others. Hewould have been even more horrified that faculty members were often part of thecommencement censorship campaigns.For tenured faculty members to silence speakers whose views they disagree with is the heightof hypocrisy, especially when these protests happen in the northeast – a bastion of self-professed liberal tolerance.I’m glad to say, however, that Harvard has not caved in to these commencement censorshipcampaigns. If it had, Colorado State Senator Michael Johnston would not have had the chanceto address the Education School yesterday.Some students called on the administration to rescind the invitation to Johnston becausethey opposed some of his education policies. But to their great credit, President Faust andDean Ryan stood firm.As Dean Ryan wrote to students: ‘I have encountered many people of good faith who share mybasic goals but disagree with my own views when it comes to the question of how best toimprove education. In my view, those differences should be e某plored, debated, challenged, andquestioned. But they should also be respected and, indeed, celebrated.’He could not have been more correct, and he could not have provided a more valuable finallesson to the class of 2019.As a former chairman of Johns Hopkins, I strongly believe that a university’s obligation is notto teach students what to think but to teach students how to think. And that requires listeningto the other side, weighing arguments without prejudging them, and determining whether theother side might actually make some fair points.If the faculty fails to do this, then it is the responsibility of the administration and governingbody to step in and make it a priority. If they do not, if students graduate with ears and mindsclosed, the university has failed both the student and society.And if you want to know where that leads, look no further than Washington, D.C.Down in Washington, every major question facing our country –involving our security, oureconomy, our environment, and our health –is decided.Yet the two parties decide these questions not by engaging with one another, but by trying toshout each other down, and by trying to repress and undermine research that runs counterto their ideology. Themore our universities emulate that model, the worse off we will be as asociety.And let me give you an e某ample: For decades, Congress has barred the Centers for DiseaseControl from conducting studies of gun violence, and recently Congress also placed thatprohibition on the National Institute of Health. You have to ask yourself: What are they afraidof?This year, the Senate has delayed a vote on President Obama’s nominee for Surgeon General –Dr. Vivek Murthy, a Harvard physician –because he had the audacity to say that gunviolence is a public health crisis that should be tackled. The gall of him!Let’s get serious: When 86 Americans are killed with guns every single day, and shootingsregularly occur at our schools and universities –including last week’s tragedy at Santa Barbara– it would be almost medical malpractice to say anything else.But in politics –as it is on too many college campuses –people don’t listen to facts that runcounter to their id eology. They fear them. And nothing is more frightening to them thanscientific evidence.Earlier this year, the State of South Carolina adopted new science standards for its publicschools – but the state legislature blocked any mention of natural sel ection. That’s liketeaching economics – without mentioning supply and demand.Again, you have to ask: What are they afraid of?The answer, of course, is obvious: Just as members of Congress fear data that underminestheir ideological beliefs, these state legislators fear scientific evidence that undermines theirreligious beliefs.And if you want proof of that, consider this: An 8-year oldgirl in South Carolina wrote tomembers of the state legislature urging them to make the Woolly Mammoth the official statefossil. The legislators thought it was a great idea, because a Woolly Mammoth fossil was foundin the state way back in 1725. But the state senate passed a bill defining the Woolly Mammothas having been ‘created on the 6th day with the bea sts of the field.’You can’t make this stuff up.Here in 21st century America, the wall between church and state remains under attack –andit’s up to all of us to man the barricades.Unfortunately, the same elected officials who put ideology and religion over data and sciencewhen it comes to guns and evolution are often the most unwilling to accept the scientificdata on climate change.Now, don’t get me wrong: scientific skepticism is healthy. But there is a world of differencebetween scientific skepticism that seeks out more evidence and ideological stubbornness thatshuts it out.Given the general attitude of many elected officials toward science it’s no wonder that thefederal government has abdicated its responsibility to invest in scientific research, much ofwhich occurs at our universities.Today, federal spending on research and development as a percentage of GDP is lower than ithas been in more than 50 years whichis allowing the rest of the world to catch up – and evensurpass –the U.S. in scientific research.The federal government is flunking science, just as many state governments are.We must not become a country that turns our back on science, or on each other. And yougraduates must help lead the way.On every issue, we must follow the evidence where it leads and listen to people where theyare. If we do that, there is no problem wecannot solve. No gridlock we cannot break. Nocompromise we cannot broker.The more we embrace a free e某change of ideas, and the more we accept that politicaldiversity is healthy, the stronger our society will be.Now, I know this has not been a traditional commencement speech, and it may keep mefrom passing a dissertation defense in the humanities department, but there is no easy timeto say hard things.Graduates: Throughout your lives, do not be afraid of saying what you believe is right, nomatter how unpopular it may be, especially when it comes to defending the rights of others.Standing up for the rights of others is in some ways even more important than standing up foryour own rights. Because when people seek to repress freedom for some, and you remainsilent, you are complicit in that repression and you may well become its victim.Do not be complicit, and do not follow the crowd. Speak up, and fight back.You will take your lumps, I can assure you of that. You will lose some friends and make someenemies. But the arc of history will be on your side, and our nation will be stronger for it.Now, all of you graduates have earned today’s celebration, and you have a lot to be proud ofand a lot to be grateful for. So tonight, as you leave this great university behind, have one lastScorpion Bowl at the Kong –on second thought, don’t – and tomorrow, get to work making ourcountry and our world freer than ever, for everyone.Good luck and God bless.11。
