Regarding their own “small world” it is in the first place the politicians whom people all over the world expect to propose remedies, to find solutions for improving their living conditions, and to secure their future well-being. Dr. Wilhelm Krull, Secretary General However, the constraints and limitations of national policies and actions have become obvi- ous, and those in charge have had to learn that siderable impact on policy-advisors and decision- problems do not halt at the borders of nations or makers alike. By encouraging networking across continents. Challenges affecting remote and less disciplinary, institutional, and national borders, developed parts of the world are our challenges, and by helping creative researchers to break new too.

However, it is not the overall amount of equal footing in internationally competitive money spent, it is the approach that makes the research schemes. This entails making a vital con- difference.

Without listening to local voices Wilhelm Krull and gaining a deeper understanding of the prob- lems and the corresponding needs we will never succeed in cooperating successfully and providing the adequate responses to the challenges posed to us all. In his latest book entitled “The Geopolitics of Emo- tion” the French intellectual and Harvard profes- sor Dominique Moïsi outlines two quite extreme scenarios of “the world in 2025”, and he points out the serious danger that we may well end up in some kind of “new Dark Ages” if we do not live up to the challenges ahead. He stresses on the one hand the need for politicians to be attentive to the problems involved in globalization, but on the oth- er hand he also makes us all aware of the need to learn more about the emotions of people living in other cultures and countries, and how crucial they will be for our future development:

Pourquoi ne pas aller voir ceux d’à côté ? Les Écossais, les vrais, ceux qui ont façonné le son du petit bout de terre au Nord de l’Angleterre, qui, en terme de patrimoine pop, se posent là. Davy Henderson, son statut de légende inconnue, ses disques confidentiels mais brillants, son groupe Win (le meilleur groupe de pop écossaise des années 80), semblait tout désigné pour débuter. On s’est rencontré dans le café d’une galerie du centre d’Édimbourg. Le cadre parfait, au charme adéquat.

Canoscenza,” which is incorporated in its seal, has a distinguished origin, Canto XXVI, line 120, of Dante’s Inferno. These are the final words of Ulysses’ great speech to his men urging them to sail on and on in pursuit of knowledge and experience of the world — even beyond the pillars of Hercules, traditionally the frontier and limit of legitimate exploration. This is the three-line stanza: Considerate la vosta semenza Fatti non foste a viver come bruti Ma per seguir virtute e canoscenza Consider your birth You were not made to live like brutes But to follow courage and knowledge 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Oakland University Commencement Board of Trustees .................................................................................................... 5 University Officers.................................................................................................
