Yet there are other values beyond such a university core that the University must teach about as well. We have a serious responsibility to expand the horizons of our students. In both cases, exposure to and critical examination of these frameworks is a vital part of the personal growth of our students and a critical presence at Penn State. In closing, I want to quote from a letter written by the psychologist Carl Jung in 1959, in which he addressed the role of a religious outlook in human life. This sums up much of what I have had to say.
People are no more rooted in their world and lose their orientation.
The need for a meaning of their lives remains unanswered, because the rational, biological goals are unable to express the irrational wholeness of human life. With 40 years of attention, much hard work, and diligence and patience, Penn State's Helen Eakin Eisenhower Chapel has contributed significantly to making Penn State whole.
