We can best serve the cause of Canadian unity and understanding by living first in and through and then beyond our own immediate traditions. - Vincent Massey

The age which we live in is not suited to idle complacency or to pleasant dreams of past greatness.

It would be foolish and wrong to ignore the fact that all our universities today tread a very dangerous path. Increasingly, they are accepting government money because they are doing things that government wants done. How great a peril is this in a democracy?
