વિનાશમાંથી થોડુંઘણું ઉગારવા મથનાર

‘આઇ.પી.’ને

To reconstitute one’s self is for a man to remake the world in which he is defined. To know what we might become is not a simple act of the intellect; it requires that we engage in such committed action as can destroy the deforming boundaries of our lives. So action and thought require each other, inform each other, and complete each other. The obligation imposed on the intellectual, as it is imposed on any one man, is not merely to speak against the world but refashion it.

It is not a violation of the purpose of a university that some parts of the activity serve society; but the university must determine through its own critical agencies that the society it is to serve is a place in which the spirit of man may be nurtured and advanced.
