The President The White House Washington, D.C.

Dear Mr. President:

With this letter, I in nsmir i:Se ',sport of your Commission on Campus Unrest.

The report is based on three months of work by the Commission and its staff. It explores the history and causes of campus unrest. It also contains recommends. lions to you, the Congress and state legislatures. university administrators and faculty members, students, the police, and the public at large.

Campus unrest is a fact of life. It is not peculiar to America. h is not new and it will go on. Exaggerations of its scope and seriousness and hysterical reactions I o it will not make it disappear. They will only aggravate it.

When campus unrest takes the form of violent and disruptive protest, it must be Met with fins and just responses. We make recommendations on what those responses should be.

Much campus unrest Is neither violent nor disruptive. It is Montt on any lively college or university campus. It is an expression of intellectual restlessness, and intellectual restlessness prompts the search for truth. We should resist the efforts of some young people to achieve their goals through force and violence, but we should encourage all young people to seek the truth and participate responsibly in the democratic process.

Our colleges and universities cannot survive as combat zones, but they cannot thrive unless they are receptive to new ideas. They must be prepared to institute needed reforms in their administrative procedures and instructional programs.

Still, the essence of a college or university is not the details of this or that program; it is the school's commitment to teaching, learning, and scholarship. Even in this troubled and confusing time, and precisely because we need knowledge and wisdom in such a time, our colleges and universities must sustain their commitment to the life of the mind.

Respectfully,
