Against such fatalism it is our responsibility to dream and articulate alternatives. I apologize for the perhaps rampant idealism manifest in these words, but here at Harvard there is no excuse for its opposite. We, who are given more opportunities in four years than many will receive in a lifetime, should be the most hopeful; we have no right to take cowardly comfort in the fiction of our own powerlessness...
