President s it established and the legacies that left. There is a strong case to be made that november 11, the day that a battered square rigor called the mayflower made safe harbor in a place near what is today in massachusetts. That day should be one of the greatest moments in our national theory, comparable to fourth of july, independence day, and september 17, constitution day.

I am delighted to be here. And i am particularly delighted to be here on this occasion. We meet at a college noted for knowledge in a city noted for progress in a state noted for strength.

The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds. Despite the striking fact that most of the scientists that the world has ever known are alive and working today, despite the fact that this nations own scientific manpower is doubling every 12 years in a rate of growth more than three times
