Like our political society,the university is under severe attack today and perhaps for the same reason; namely,that we have accomplished much of what we have set out to do in this generation,that we have done so imperfectly,and while we have been doing so,we have said a lot of things that simply are not true.
像我们的政治社会一样,今天的大学正在受到严厉抨击,而且理由也许相同,即：我们这个时代要做的事情已经大都完成,但是我们做得还不尽善尽美,而且,虽然我们做出了一些论断,但我们也说了许多不正确的话.
