It is almost commonplace to refer to the crisis in higher education. That term usually refers to current critical problems of financing these institutions. Of course, that is high on the agenda of every institution of higher learning as I am sure it is high on the agenda of all of you. But what I am referring to by the term crisis is the survival of higher education in the years ahead. This is going to be determined in the long run by circumstances reaching far beyond the responsibility of the Boards of Trustees and others who raise the necessary funds to balance present budgets, important as this may be. Far too few people fully recognize the portentous significance of two events, which began last year, for the future of our society and for higher education. I refer to the Arab oil boycott and the Watergate affair. Two items on these matters appeared in a Washington newspaper on the same day, earlier this month, which exemplify my concern. The first was an editorial commenting on discussions in the United Nations relating to the growing shortages of the world's resources 709 R
