Thursday, June 9, 1960 UNC NEWS Page 5 , Commencement (Continued from page 1) some individual or group, how ever highly placed. ... A uni versity must provide an environ ment in which diversity, contro versy and tolerance prevails. It is not expected that every person within or without a university will agree with the views of every speaker or teacher who appears on the campus. It is imperative, however, that the university be free to listen to differing views on controversial issues of the day. "Those of us entrusted, for the time being, with the leadership of the University of the people have a duty to express forthright con cern when the freedom of the University is threatened. The con text and the manner in which such threats appear are immate rial. No time or circumstance can dictate apparent indifference , or command silence on so vital an issue as the freedom of the Uni versity. "A governor of this State pos" sesses tremendous potential power to bring to bear on all state-sup ported institutions many kinds of economic and political pressures to induce conformity to his per sonal notions of freedom. More over, the Governor is chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Uni versity. Thus the attitude of a governor concerning freedom in the University is a matter of great importance to the people of North Carolina." President Friday stated: "Underpinning the role the Uni versity has played and will con tinue to play in the life of this state and in the academic com munity are the freedoms essen tial to our being as a University. -When responsibility exercised, the freedom to search for the truth, the freedom to communicate the results of intensive study, tlte freedom of student self-govern ment, the freedom to express ideas and to hear the issues debated by individuals holding conflictm opinions mark the institution of vitally and stature. Ths tradition of freedom produces men and women who act responsibly, and who think critically and creative ly. When restrained by interfer ence or undue pressure from with out or within, the inquiring mind and the adventuring spirit can no longer seek the truth in an objec live way. "I want to assure each of you that this administration will strive at all times to preserve and pro tect this tradition of freedom and the right of faculty members and students to exercise these free doms in a responsible manner. This University must remain free." Reviewing the democratic guar antees of free speech, free as sembly, free press and accompa nying academic freedom, Chancel lor Aycock in his message to alumni said the University of North Carolina "was fathered by rebellion against oppression and mothered by a vision of freedom. He said, "It has become an in strument of democracy and a place in which the weak can grow strong and the strong can grow great. The process of youth ma turing in an environment of free dom is always an erratic one, sometimes a turbulent one, and frequently a disturbing one to those whose memories of their own youth have faded. Yet, gen eration after generation of young men and women have gone forth from this campus to provide sound leadership throughout the length and breadth of this land." The University, added Aycock, must not allow its heritage of freedom "to be infringed upon by an individual or group from what ever position or by whatever dis position." Aycock said, "We shall rot sit idly by and permit this to occur.
