【正文】 pursue other options. Great ideas that could lead to improvedhumanlives and opportunities, and improved understanding, are left without supportor themeans for further development.
The world and the nation need thekind of research that Harvard and other Americanresearch universitiesundertake. We need the knowledge and understanding thatresearchgenerates。knowledge about climate change, or crisis management, or melanoma,oreffective mental health interventions in schools, or hormones that might treatdiabetes, orany of a host of other worthy projects our faculty are currentlypursuing. We need the supportand encouragement for the students who willcreate our scientific future. We need theeconomic vitality。the jobs andpanies。that these ideas and discoveries produce. We needthe nation toresist imposing a selfinflicted wound on its intellectual and human a nation that believes in, and invests in, its universities because werepresent aninvestment in the ideas and the people that will build and will bethe future.
So as I report to you on the yearwe now bring to a close, I want to underscore the threatto universities and toour national infrastructure of knowledge and discovery that thesequesterrepresents. Even in a year when sometimes the world felt too much with us, wehavenever lost sight of how much what we do here has to do with the world. Andfor the world. Tosequester the search for knowledge, to sequester discovery,to sequester the unrelentingdrive of our students and faculty to envision andpursue this endless frontier。such a strategydoes more than threatenuniversities. It puts at risk the capacity and promise of universitiestofulfill our mitment to the public good, our mitment to our childrenandgrandchildren and to the future we will leave them. The challenges facing theworld are tooconsequential, the need for knowledge, imagination andunderstanding is too great, theopportunity for improving the human conditiontoo precious for us to do anything less thanrise to the occasion. With thedevotion of our alumni, with the inspiration of our new graduatesand。Ihope。with the support of our nationamp。rsquo。s leaders, we must and we will.
