I declare this both as Chancellor of this University and in the capacity of Prime Minister. . . . I know for certain that the vast majority of the students in this University are eager to discharge their responsibilities with the sincere desire for the good of the masses, free from political influences and political attachments. Let me address the leaders of these sincere workers. The task of rebuilding the five pillars is riot small. Mere attainment of independence will not make these pillars strong.
Independence merely entails opportunities for carrying out works for the good of the people.
It is up to all of us to carry out these works in our respective spheres to our utmost capacity. You must bear this in mind. If you fail to take advantage of the opportunity thus offered and waste your valuable time in fights and struggles and playing with insurrection, then the country will go to the dogs. . . . I pray that the students who have graduated this year may turn out to be worthy architects of the five pillars I have just mentioned. This text is part of the Internet Modern History Sourcebook .
