US Presidency
1961

This is our opportunity, as well as our responsibility; and I am particularly glad to be here today when we are witnessing the swearing in of a new President. Many years ago, as most of you know, at Harvard University somebody came around and asked for President Lowell. They said, He's in Washington seeing Mr. Taft. I know that some other day, when they are asking for the President of your University, they will say that he is over at the White House seeing Mr. Kennedy. They understood at Harvard, and you understood here, the relative importance of a University President and a President of the United States. Thank you
