哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲

哈佛大学毕业典礼演讲这是搜集的一篇“哈佛大学XX年毕业典礼演讲”,供大家参考借鉴。

Congratulations everyone, you made it.祝贺所有人,你们做到了。

我的天啊!我在哈...佛!真的!尊敬的Faust校长、和我一起获得荣誉学位的各位,Carl(注:Carl Muller哈佛校友会主席),真是太棒了,谢谢你们!还有James Rothenberg, Stephanie Wilson和哈佛的教职工们,特别感谢我的朋友Henry Lewis Gates博士(注:美国知名黑人教授)!感谢所有的哈佛校友,特别要感谢88届的毕业生,你们为哈佛捐出一亿一千五百万美元(注:哈佛历史上最多的一次同一班次校友捐款)。

所有XX届的各位毕业生们!大家好!Every day of my working week in my early 20s I was reminded how incredibly fortunate I was, to live in a country with a democratically elected government, where legal representation and a public trial were the rights of everyone.And I don’t mean to the end of college, I mean to class day, because if memory serves,some of your classmates had too many scorpion bowls at the Kong last night and are with us today.我还要检讨一下史蒂夫-鲍尔默也是受我蛊惑从商学院退学。

我劣迹斑斑。

这就是为什么我会受邀参加毕业演讲。

如果是开学典礼,恐怕今天的人会少很多。

我指的不是大学毕业,而是成功出席今天的毕业典礼。

如果我们记错,某些同学虽然昨晚在香港餐厅喝了太多蝎子碗调酒,但今天还是来了。

Given the weather, the one thing Harvard hasn’t figured out how to control, some of your other classmates are at someplace warm with a hot cocoa, so you have many reasons to feel proud of yourself as you sit here today.由于天气,这种哈佛还没有弄清楚如何控制的现象,还有同学正在温暖的地方喝热可可饮料,所以,你们有很多为今天出席毕业日活动感到自豪的理由。

亲爱的老师,是您的辛劳付出,是您的无私奉献换来了我们的收获与成长;您知识渊博,并毫无保留地传授给我们;您体贴入微,使我们的生活充满了家的温暖;您独特的人格魅力更是令我们折服;您的磨练与指导,在我们成长的道路上留下深深的印迹。

衷心地感谢您!“名”,服务对象对你服务的认可:学生满意的老师成为名师,观众满意的演员成为名角,受欢迎的主持人成为名嘴。

Congratulations to your have spent a lot of money, so your child can say she went to a “small school”near Boston. And thank you to the class of XX for inviting me to the part of your celebration. It means a great to me. And looking at the list of past speakers was a little can’t be as funny as Amy Poehler, but I’m gonna be funnier than Mother Teresa.祝贺你们的家长,你们花了很多钱,让子女能够说自己是从波士顿附近的这所“小学校“毕业的。

还要感谢XX届毕业生邀请我来到这次盛典。

这对我价值巨大。

看到过往演讲者的名单让人有些敬畏。

我肯定没有艾米·波乐那么搞笑,但我至少比特雷萨修女更幽默。

XX年,是与众不同的一年,我们迎来了我党十八大的胜利召开,高举中国特色社会主义伟大旗帜,坚定不移的沿着中国特色社会主义道路前进,夺取中国特色社会主义新胜利,这个富有特色而有鲜明的主题,引起了我们广泛的学习与讨论,我们在思考着,正值青春的我们,沐浴在十八大的春风中,到底能做些什么,怎么做,才能把我们青春的正能量释放出来,传递党的温暖。

25 years ago, a man named Dave I did not know at the time but who would one day become my husband was sitting where you are sitting years ago, I was sitting where you are sitting today. Dave and I are back this weekend with our amazing son and daughter to celebrate his reunion, and we both share the same sentiment, Harvard has a good basketball team.25年前,一个我当时还不认识,但以后会成为我丈夫的男人戴夫,坐在你们现在坐的地方。

23年前,我坐在你们现在坐的地方。

戴夫和我这周末,带着可爱的子女回校。

我们都怀有相同的感触:哈佛的篮球队太棒了!要有情怀。

情怀彰显品格,情怀显露底蕴。

你要明礼诚信,遵纪守法,无论是在社会上安身立命,还是在工作岗位上履行本职,诚信是你的一份特殊“护照”。

你要学会感恩,当你领到人生的第一份工资时,记住一定要给父母买些礼物,报答三春晖。

此外,也要感恩社会、感恩帮助过你的人,感恩每一个相遇相识的人。

以感恩的心来丈量人生,才知道生活中不是缺少感动,而是缺少发现;怀抱感恩之心,我们的心中就会多一些阳光,少一些阴霾。

你要怀着一颗慈悲的心,敬重别人、包容他人、同情弱者、帮助那些需要帮助的人,始终保持谦和、融通、平常的心境。

你要有大爱。

须知人生天地间,不能只顾自己,还有更多的人需要我们去关爱,要热爱你的家庭,热爱你的工作,热爱你的生活。

这一统计数字发人深思,虽然我也支持奥巴马总统的再次当选,但我认为任何派别都不能独占真理或让上帝总站在他一边。

Standing here in the yard brings memories flooding back for arrived here from Miami in the fall of 1987, with big hopes and even bigger hear. I was assigned to live in one of Harvard’s historic monuments to great architecture, canady. My go-to outfit, and I’m not making this up, was a jean skirt, white leg warmers and sneakers and a Florida sweater, because my parents who were here with me then as they’re here with me now, told me everyone would think it was awesome that I was from Florida. At least we didn’t have Instagram.站在校园中,回忆泉涌。

19876年秋天,我从迈阿密来到这里,怀揣着伟大的梦想,还有更夸张的发型。

我被分配到哈佛伟大建筑的一座历史丰碑,卡纳迪楼,我是说真的,我当时穿着牛仔裙,白色暖腿袜套,运动鞋,还有一件弗罗里达羊毛衫。

因为当时我的父母告诉我,所有人都会人为来自弗罗里达的人很酷。

至少,我们那时没有Instagram。

For me, Harvard was a series of first winner coat, we needn’t need those in Miami.我平时从来没有主动回忆过自己的毕业,倒不是因为毕业前两天丢了伴随我四年的一辆自行车心里很搓火;主要是一回忆就会不由自主的感到恐惧,惊叹时间流逝速度之快,而自己不知不觉已经太老。

我从化学学院毕业过两次,一次已经是上个世纪的事情了:1997年,我本科毕业,获得学士学位;五年后,XX年,研究生毕业,获得博士学位。

我在北大读书一共九年,其中大部分时间都是在化学楼里面度过的。

每次回到化学楼,都有一种亲切的感觉,心里踏实。

心里踏实的时候,想的东西就比较容易触动心灵的深处。

但是,就算触动了心灵的深处,我的这个发言很未必能让人记住,起码我不记得我的毕业典礼上那些发言的人都说了些什么。

更糟的是,我已经想不起来是谁发言了。

I am grateful to receive an honorary degree from Harvard, an honor that means more to methan you might care to imagine. You see, I was the academic black sheep of my family. Myolder brother has an / from MIT and Harvard while my younger brother has a lawdegree fromHarvard. When I was awarded a Nobel Prize, I thought my mother would besatisfied. Not so. When I called her on the morning of the announcement, she replied, "That'snice, but when are you going to visit me next." Now, as the last brother with a degree fromHarvard, maybe, at last, she will be satisfied.My first 10page paper, they didn’t assign those in my high first C, after which my proctor told me that she was on the admissions committee, and I got admitted to Harvard for my personality not my academic first person I ever met from boarding school. I thought that was our really troubled first person I ever met who shares the name with a whole building, or so I met when the first classmate I met was Sarah Widdlesworth, who bore no relation at all to the dorm, which would have been nice to know with that very intimidating moment. But then I went on to meet others, Francis Strauss, James wells, Jessica science center B. My first love, my first heartbreak, the first time I realized that I love to learn, and the first and very last time I saw anyone read anything in Latin.对我而言,哈佛给了我很多第一次,包括我的第一件冬装,在迈阿密没人需要冬装。

哈佛大学毕业演讲

哈佛大学毕业演讲各位亲爱的校友、教授和家长们:我感到非常荣幸能够在这里演讲。

首先,我要感谢我的父母,感谢他们一直以来对我的支持和鼓励。

同时,也要感谢哈佛大学为我们提供了如此卓越的教育资源和学习环境。

我们在哈佛度过了如此宝贵的四年时光,我们学习了很多知识,结交了许多朋友,也经历了许多挑战和困难。

这段时光给我们的生命带来了巨大的改变,使我们更加成熟和坚强。

但是,我相信,毕业并不代表着我们一切结束,相反,它标志着我们迎接新的挑战和机遇的开始。

我们所学到的知识和经验将成为我们人生道路上宝贵的财富。

在哈佛的四年里,我学到了很多关于知识和学术方面的东西,但最重要的是,我学会了如何思考、如何与人相处、如何处理各种问题。

这些技能和品质将伴随我们一生,无论我们走到哪里,干什么工作,都能给予我们帮助。

与此同时,我也深刻认识到,知识和学历并不是衡量一个人成功与否的唯一标准。

要想在这个竞争激烈的社会中取得成功,我们还需要智慧、勇气、毅力和创造力。

在我们即将面临的社会中,竞争将愈发激烈,机遇也愈发珍贵。

因此,我们要敢于追求自己的梦想,不要因为困难而气馁,要坚持不懈地追求成功。

同时,我们也要保持一颗谦虚的心态,永远保持学无止境的精神。

无论我们取得什么成就,都要保持对知识和学术的敬畏之心,时刻保持学习的姿态。

最后,我想借此机会感谢所有曾经对我们提供帮助和支持的人们。

感谢所有的教师和家长们,在我们成长的道路上给予了无私的关怀和指导。

感谢我们的同学们,在困难时与我们同甘共苦,在快乐时与我们分享喜悦。

我相信,只要我们保持对美好未来的憧憬和追求,只要我们坚持自己的理想和信念,我们一定能够在人生道路上取得辉煌的成就。

最后,祝愿所有的毕业生们,在追逐理想的道路上永远勇往直前,取得辉煌的成就。

谢谢大家。

那什么样的致辞才具有启发意义呢?下面是小编为大家整理的哈佛毕业典礼扎克伯格致辞,供大家参考借鉴,希望可以帮助到有需要的朋友。

哈佛毕业典礼扎克伯格致辞1尊敬的各位领导、老师、亲爱的同学们:大家好!非常荣幸能作为毕业生代表,站在这里发言。

首先请允许我代表xx级全体同学感谢我们的母校和老师,感谢你们这四年来的悉心教导和精心栽培!现在我站在这里,很荣幸,也很忐忑。

作为即将离开xx大学的年轻一员,我一直在思考:我们新一代x大人,在社会浪潮中该如何传承我们的文化,又该如何在此基础上有所超越?孔子曰:“大道之行,天下为公。

”x大给我们的最大财富,不是权威的理论,不是枯燥的课本,而是一种对真善美的执着信仰和由衷热爱。

当白发苍苍、德高望重的老教授们给我们如数家珍般地诠释深奥的学术概念时,我们领悟到了什么是大师的睿智;当锐意进取、开拓创新的中青年学者挥洒自如地展现他们恢弘的风采时,我们体会到了什么是专家的敏锐。

在x大,每一次讲授都是一次教育,每一堂讨论都是一次提高,每一次体验都是一次升华。

庄子曰:“吾生也有涯,而知也无涯。

”x大,用对理性的思辨和对人文的关注教出了一群善于思考,勤于钻研,理论和实践同样出色的学生。

弱者权利保护中心里的知行合一;辩论赛场上的理性与睿智;支援西部建设无私奉献;风云学子的成长舞台;学术科研,你我争占鳌头;综合竞赛,人人欲领风骚。

这一切,是我作为xx级毕业生的普通一员,对自己成长在x大的总结,更是每一位从x大走出的学子丰富的四年生活,多彩成长足迹的缩影。

因为这里自由的氛围,好学的风气,悠久的传承,厚重的积淀,已经在我们身上深深烙下了印记。

每一位x大人拥有的三分信仰,三分思辩,三分历练,还有一分兼容并包,让我们不管将来从事什么行业,都会时刻秉承自强的品性,弘毅的精神,求是的理念和拓新的勇气。

2024年哈佛毕业典礼扎克伯格致辞

2024年哈佛毕业典礼扎克伯格致辞尊敬的校长、教职员工、亲爱的毕业生们:大家好!非常感谢哈佛大学邀请我来发表演讲。

在这个特别的时刻,我感到非常荣幸能与你们共同庆祝毕业,并与你们分享一些我在人生和职业道路上的思考和经验。

首先,我要向毕业生们表示最真心的祝贺。

你们已经经历了四年的充实学习和成长,成功地完成了学业,并即将踏入新的人生阶段。

在这个过程中,你们付出了许多努力和汗水,终于迈向了成功的起点。

这是你们奋斗的结果,更是你们坚持不懈的品质的体现。

毕业是一个新的开始,一个机会去追求你们的梦想和目标。

我衷心希望每一位毕业生都能找到自己热爱的事业,并在其中大展宏图。

在这个充满机遇和挑战的世界里,什么会使你与众不同?我相信,正确的思维和积极的心态是你们在未来的道路中取得成功的关键。

首先,你们应该保持对知识的渴望和学习的热情。

在多变和竞争激烈的现代社会中,只有不断学习和适应,才能不被时代所淘汰。

哈佛大学为你们提供了丰富的知识资源和学习机会,但毕业只是一个起点,学习应该成为你们终身的追求。

不论从事何种职业,都要注重持续学习和不断自我提升,以适应未来的挑战和变革。

其次,你们应该具备创新思维和勇于尝试的勇气。

目前的世界正在飞速发展,每天都有新技术和新思维不断涌现。

要想在这个竞争激烈的时代中脱颖而出,你们需要有独立思考和创新能力。

不要惧怕失败,只有不断尝试和学会从失败中汲取经验教训,才能真正找到成功的方向。

正如史蒂夫·乔布斯所说:“创新是区别优秀和卓越的必要条件。

”相信自己的能力,敢于冒险和突破,去寻找新的机会和可能性。

此外,你们也应该培养良好的沟通和合作能力。

在现代社会中,没有一个人可以独自完成伟大的事业。

要想实现自己的目标,你们需要与他人合作,建立强大的团队,共同面对挑战并取得成功。

与人相处需要开放和谦卑的态度,要善于倾听和尊重他人的意见。

只有通过良好的沟通和合作,你们才能够互相支持和激发彼此的潜力,共同实现更大的成就。

这个时代正在迅速变化、充满不确定性和挑战。

但正是在这样的背景下,你们才有机会成为世界的改变者。

所以,请珍视这个能力,去追求你们内心最真诚的志向。

同时,我邀请你们保持好奇心和创新精神。

罗琳哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿:燃烧激情,追逐梦想模式

罗琳哈佛大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿:燃烧激情,追逐梦想模式尊敬的哈佛大学校长、各位教授和高材生:我很荣幸能够在今天的毕业典礼上,与大家分享我的人生经历和心得,以及我对于未来的展望。

作为一名成功的小说家和企业家,我相信我的历和故事能够激发你们内心的热情,追逐自己的梦想,创造更美好的未来。

成为一名小说家是我童年时的梦想。

我喜欢阅读、写作和想象。

然而,在我年轻时并没有人认为写作是一个成功的职业,只有教授、医生或者律师才能够获得社会的认可和尊重。

此,我选择了一个比较传统的路子,成为一名语言学家和教师,这也成为我写作和创业的铺垫。

然而人生道路上的起起伏伏让我发现,只有追求自己的内心激情和热爱,才能够真正地实现自己的梦想和价值。

2007年,我曾经在哈佛大学就我的人生经历和梦想发表了一次演讲,那时候我还不知道,我的一部小说《哈利波特》将彻底改变我的人生和世界。

《哈利波特》这部小说不仅成功地打破了英国和全球出版的记录,也掀起了一股全球性的魔法热潮。

我相信这部小说的成功离不开我内心的激情和对于幻想和魔法的热爱,以及我对于写作和语言的敏锐和执着。

同时,这部小说也彰显了我对于真理和正义的渴望,以及对于人性的理解和呼唤。

成功背后,也有其它的困难和挑战。

例如,我的小说曾经被一些教育家和宗教人士批评为鼓吹魔法与邪恶,挑战了传统的道德和价值观。

我深信,艺术和文化是超越国界、文化和宗教的共同语言,具有解锁人类本质和生命意义的力量。

因此,我继续坚持我的内心激情和使命,写下了我对于魔法和魔法世界的更加深入和丰富的理解和探索。

同时,我的激情和热爱也驱使我进入了商业领域。

创办和经营曾经的网站Pottermore和出版公司Wizarding World,让我实现了我的另一个梦想和愿景——将更多的人带入到我的魔法世界中来,探索、游戏和学习。

同时,这个商业模式也让我成为一个兼具文化和商业价值的企业家,探索了艺术与商业、创意与实益的融合和平衡。

我的成功并不是单方面的,其中,包括了我的团队和合作伙伴们的努力和贡献。

迈克尔·布隆伯格在哈佛大学2023年毕业典礼英语演讲稿

迈克尔·布隆伯格在哈佛大学2023年毕业典礼英语演讲稿Dear graduating class of 2023 at Harvard University,It is truly an honor to be here with all of you today. I would like to begin by congratulating each and every one of you on achieving this incredible milestone in your lives. Graduating from Harvard University is an achievement that you should all be extremely proud of.As you embark on the next chapter of your lives, I want to share with you a few lessons that I have learned throughout my own journey that I hope will help guide you along your way.First and foremost, I want to stress the importance of hard work and determination. When I was a student at Harvard many years ago, I often found myself feeling overwhelmed and unsure of my path. But I never gave up. I worked hard, studied harder, and eventually found my way.There will be times in your life when you face setbacks and challenges, but remember that with hard work and determination you can overcome anything. Don’t let fear or doubt hold you back, and never be afraid to take risks.Secondly, I want to remind you all of the power of innovation and creativity. As you step out into the world, you will have the opportunity to make a difference and impact the lives of others. Do not be afraid to think outside the box, to come up with new ideas, and to take a chance on something that may seem unconventional.Some of the greatest inventions and ideas came from individuals who dared to dream big and were not afraid to fail. So, embrace your creativity and don’t be afraid to take chances.Lastly, I want to emphasize the importance of giving back. As you embark on your new journey, always remember to give back to your community and those in need. Whether it’s volunteering your time, donating to a charity, or simply extending a helping hand to a neighbor in need, giving back not only enriches the lives of others, but it also helps to create a better world for us all.In closing, I want to say how proud I am of each and every one of you. You have all worked incredibly hard to get to where you are today, and I know that you all have incredibly bright futures ahead of you.Congratulations, Class of 2023, and best of luck on all your future endeavors!Sincerely,Michael Bloomberg。

迈克尔·布隆伯格在哈佛大学2024年毕业典礼英语演讲稿

迈克尔·布隆伯格在哈佛大学2022年毕业典礼英语演讲稿Thank you, Katie –and thank you to President Faust, the Fellows of Harvard College, the Boardof Overseers, and all the faculty, alumni, and students who have welcomed me back to campus.I’m e某cited to be here, not only to address the distinguished graduates and alumni atHarvard University’s 363rd commencement but to stand in the e某act spot where Oprah stoodlast year. OMG.Let me begin with the most important order of business: Let’s have a big round of applaus e forthe Class of 2019! They’ve earned it!As e某cited as the graduates are, they are probably even more e某hausted after the past fewweeks. And parents: I’m not referring to their final e某ams. I’m talking about the SeniorOlympics, the Last Chance Dance, and the Booze Cruise –I mean, the moonlight cruise.The entire year has been e某citing on campus: Harvard beat Yale for the seventh straight timein football. The men’s basketball team went to the second round of the NCAA tournament forthe second s traight year. And the Men’s Squash team won national championship.Who’d a thunk it: Harvard, an athletic powerhouse! 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。
