  • Noel Lateef: in This the Foreign Policy Association's Centennial Year We're Very Fortunate to Have with Us This Evening a Distinguished Leader of Higher Education
    Noel Lateef: In this the Foreign Policy Association's centennial year we're very fortunate to have with us this evening a distinguished leader of higher education. President Leon Botstein will speak to the important topic of elites, higher education and the future. You may have seen in the current issue of the New Yorker a review of a book published by the Foreign Policy Association 50 years ago. A 1968 book tried to predict the world of 2018. The book successfully predicted pocket computers and the jacket cover asked the question, "Will our children in 2018 still be wrestling with racial problems, economic depressions and other Vietnams?" I am pleased that president Botstein's remarks this evening will be included in a new book that we are publishing this year, that will predict the world of 2068. I should note that president Botstein chaired a blue ribbon commission that looked into the relevance of the mission of the Foreign Policy Association 25 years ago. It was underwritten by the Ford foundation, and as I recall the leadership of the FP at the time waited with some trepidation for the conclusion of this important report. We are grateful to president Botstein for concluding that our mission was never more important. Ladies and gentlemen, to formally introduce president Botstein I'm going to turn to an FPA fellow of long standing, who happens to be the dean of international studies at Bard college, and director of the Bard globalization and international studies program, Jim Ketterer. Jim? Jim Ketterer: Good evening. It's a pleasure to see so many Bard alumni, faculty and students here this evening, who come not only from our campus in Annandale, but as Noel mentioned, the Bard globalization international affairs program here in New York city that draws in students, not only from the Bard institutions, but from colleges and universities across the country, and in fact across the world, and many of them are here.

Despite what Honegger may have said, it takes little imagination to find oneself in the middle of the pitch dodging tack- les left and right from the very first note. Immediately from the downbeat it is apparent that Honegger is not alluding to two-hand-touch rugby, but rather the sport in its full contact, “hold no pris- oners” variety.

The lessons of Kimani Ng’ang’a Maruge, an aging illiterate Kenyan and Mau Mau veteran, are undeniably powerful and his message is clear, ”We have to learn from our past because we must not forget and because we must get better… the power is in the pen.” The other event of the summer that has helped to re-vitalize and focus thinking globally about education is a remarkably fine series of interviews, The Global Search for Education, by C.M. Rubin for Educational News. The interviews with individuals renowned for their international leadership (including some of the Brock Prize nominees and laureates) are being conducted according to Rubin, “with the intention of raising the awareness of policy makers, the media, and the public of the global facts.” The film and the interviews have helped crystallize my thinking about the individual I had nominated in the spring; they have served to re-affirm my choice of Leon Botstein as the next Brock International Laureate.
