�Saturday, May 14,
Hillary,
Here is a polished version of the draft I sent you Friday night,
in regular and speech fonts. As I said in the note I sent you in
your briefing book, I didn't use much of the GWU speech because
the family theme didn't really work with South Africa, freedom,
reconciliation, etc.
Also, I'm enclosing Churchill's "never, never, never" speech,
which was given at the Harrow School in 1941. He may have said
the same thing, in shorter form, elsewhere. But this was the only
record I could find. I've inserted the relevant passage in the
Illinois draft in case you want to use it the way you did at GWU.
Cheers.
Lissa

As a token of its commitment to the renewal of our country, the.

We dedicate this day to all· the heroes and heroines in this

Their dreams have become reality. Freedom is their reward.
We are both humbled and elevated by the honour and privilege

South Mrica, to lead our _country out of the valley of_darkness. ·
We understand it still that there is no easy road to freedom.
We know it well that none of us acting alone can achieve success.
_We must therefore act together as a united people, for national
reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world.

�all
Today, all of us do,. by our presence here, arid by our celebrations
in other parts of our country and the
world,
confer glory and
.
.
hope to newborn liberty.
Out of the experience of an. extraordinary human disaster that
la<;ted too too long, must be born a society of which all humanity
will be proud.
.
\.
Our daily deeds as ordinary South. Mricans must produce an ·
actual South Mrican reality that will reinforce humanity's belief
in justice, strengthen its· confidence in the nobility of the human
soul and sustain all our hopes for a glorious life for all.
We thank
our distinguished international guests for having
. come to take possession with the people of our country of what is,
after all, a common victory. for justice, for peace,. for human
dignity.
We trust that you will continue to stand by us 'as we tackle the·
challenges of building peace, prosperity, non-sexism, nonracialism and democracy.
We deeply appreciate the role that the masses of our people arid
their political, mass democratic, religious,. women, youth,
business, traditional and other leaders have played to· bring
about this conclusion. Not least among them is my Second
Deputy President, the Honourable F.W. de Klerk.
All this we owe both to ourselves and to the peoples of the world
who are so well represented here today.
We. would also like to pay tribute to our security forces, in all
their ranks, for the distinguished ro.le . the'y have played in
securing" our first democratic elections and the transition to
democracy, from blood-thirsty forces which still refuse to see the
light..
To my compatriots, I have no hesitation in saying that each one of
us is as intimately attached .to the soil of this beautiful country as
are the famous jacaranda trees of Pretoria and the mimosa trees
of the bushveld.
Each time one of us touches the soil of this land, we feel a sense
of personal renewal. The national mood changes .as the seasons
change.
The time for the healing ()f the wounds has corpe ..
The moment to bridge the chasms that divide us has come.
v:Je are moved by a sense of joy and exhilaration when· the grass
· The time to build is upon us. , .
turns green and the flowers bloom.
: .we have·, at last, achieved our political emancipation. We pledge
our~elves . to liberate all our peopl~. from . the continuing ·
ho~dage or' poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and other
discrimination.
·
That spiritual and physical oneness we all share with this common
homeland explains the depth of the pain we all carried in our
hearts as we saw our country tear itself apart in a terrible conflict,
and as we saw it spurned, outlawed and isolated by thepeoples of
the wor,l.9-.• precisely because it had become the universal base ()f
the pernicious. ideology and ·practice· of racism and raciai ·
oppression.
We, the people of South Mrica, feel fulfilled that humanity has
taken us back into its. bosom, that we, who were outlaws not so
long ago; have today been given the rare privilege to be host to
the nations of the world on our own soil.
. .
n
We succeeded to take our last steps to freedom in conditions of
relative peace. We commit· ourselves. to the construction of a
complete, just and lasting peace.
We have triumphed in the effort to implant hope in the breasts of
the millions of our people. We enter into a covenant that we shall
build the society in which all South Mricans, both black and
white, Will be able ·to walk tall, without any fear i:n their he~rtS,
assured of their inalienable right to human dign~ty ..,. a rainbow

Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
May 12, 1994
REMARKS BY THE FIRST LADY AT
THE UNITED STATES EMBASSY IN PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA
MAY 10, 1994
Thank you so much. This has been an extraordinary day for
all of us.
I want to start by thanking our Ambassador and Mrs.
Lyman for the extraordinary days and weeks that they put in
leading up to this, and also thank every member of the United
States Government who is stationed here in .South Africa who have
worked so diligently in order to make America's presence known on
the side of democracy, hope and the future.
Thank you all for
representing our country so well.
As the Ambassador says, we are very grateful to have this
distinguished, extraordinary American delegation.
Some of the
most committed members of Congress -- Democrats, Republicans and
Independents -- who have stayed with the struggle on behalf of
the new South Africa, over the years, representatives of private
industry, our philanthropic community, state governments,
academia, the arts, and the military -- we have been blessed by
having these people here to demonstrate to the new South Africa,
the depth of America's commitment. And then we will be blessed
again, as they return home to America to witness to America what
has happened here today and what the future holds. That will be
the basis of the partnership that the President announced last
week and that the Vice President has been speaking about and
committing ourselves to during his stay here. We will have
witnesses from one end of our country to the other who will stand
before American audiences and say that the future of South Africa
is inextricably tied to the future of all of us around this
globe, and we must stand with you as you proceed.
One of the moments that I will carry with me forever,
happened at the lunch today -- many of you were there, others of
you were watching it on television -- when President Mandela
spoke of inviting three of his former jailers to come to his
Inaugural ceremony.
He. has always represented to many of us who
have followed the struggle of this country and its people, the
kind of commitment that transcends politics that really does
spring from the heart and the soul. And today, by merely saying
that he had invited his jailers, he told us more about himself
and his vision of South Africa than probably most of the campaign
�-----------------------------------~
- 2 -
speeches he made so eloquently during the last months. And it
reminded me so forcibly of what my husband said during the
campaign that he and the Vice President waged. That real change
must start from the inside first.
That we have to change our
hearts and our minds before we can change the conditions we.find
around us. And that as we dig deep to recognize our common
humanity, to understand as President Mandela said, there will
always be within each of us, as well as the greater world, the
forces of darkness waging its war against the forces of light.
Or as he said, the force of life and loyalty.
The fact is that each of us, each South African, and each
American, has a role to play because each of us has the power
within our grasp to change ourselves, to change our feelings, our
attitudes, our beliefs. And I see such possibility not only for
your country today, but for our country. Remembering the lessons
that lead black and white and colored South Africans to come
together to create a political miracle that none would have
thought possible a few years ago, knowing that it started from
the inside, the hearts, the minds, the souls of human beings.
That says to me that there is not only great hope but a very
realistic possibility the dreams we heard about today will come
to pass. And that we in American will not only be your partner,
but we will follow your example as we watch you chart a new
future.
Thank,you and God bless you all.

Hillary,
I've incorporated South Africa into. the Illinois commencement
address, but in so doing I've written a new speech. Instead of
focusing on families (which didn't <really fit with themes of .
freedom and reconciliation), I've tried to build it around
.
community and democracy. This is a draft, which I'll polish by
tomorrow morning.
Please let me know if you want something different from what I've
done.
Also, I finally found the Churchill quote .that you used for GWU
(sorry I didn't get it in time). It was delivered at the Harrow
School in 1941 and was more than a brief set of remarks. The
precise quote is: "Never give in, never g.ive in, never, never,
never, never -~ in nothing, great or small, large or petty -never give· in except to convictions of honour and go.od sense.
Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming
might of the enemy."
Thanks.
Lissa
�FIRST LADY HILLARY RODBAM CLINTON
COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS AT THE UNIVERS.ITY OF ILLINOIS
CHAMPAIGN-URBANA CAMPUS
MAY 15,. 1994
DRAFT
Thank you President Ikenberry, Chancellor Aiken, trustees,
other honorary degree recipients, members of the administration,
faculty, alumni, family members and citizens who have gathered
here. But most of all, thank you to the graduates of the Class qf
'94 for inviting me to join your celebration.
It's always nice to be back in Illinois, and especially nice
to be back on this campus, which now has been immortalized by
Hollywood. [A scene from "With Honors" was filmed on the quad
last year. The movie came out in April]
When I was growing up in Park Ridge, I came here for a
football game. In the fall of '92, during the Presidential
campaign, I spoke to students on the quad. Both times, the team
won. So I hope there is a correlation between my visiting and U
of I teams winning -- and all of you winning in the great game of
life.
·
I'm particularly glad to be here because, throughout its
history,· this university has been an incubator of ideas and
beliefs. It's been a place where students have learned to express
their tastes and attitudes -..,.. about matters as simple as whether
Papa Del's or Garcia's has the best pizza in town . . . and as
complex as whether the school mascot should be changed.
These discussions and debates flourish here because people
of different backgrounds and cultures are able to come together
as members of a corrimuni ty -- a community committed to .the
principles of free thought and free inquiry.
And I think it's particularly fitting on a day like today,
which holds su~h promise for your own futures, as well as the
future our nation, to think about what it means to be a member of
thCl-t community and of a free society.
A few days ago, I was in South Africa, watching a miracle
happen. In that faraway land, divided for three centuries by
unspeakable racial hatreds, blacks and whites and coloreds
peacefully participated in free elections that culminated in
Nelson Mandela 1 s inauguration as President last week.
These extraordinary events were only possible because of the
power of human hope. As· my husband has said many times,· real
1
�change must start from within. We have to change our hearts and
minds before we can change the conditions around us.
If you don't believe that, you should have witnessed what I
witnessed at lunch with President Mandela a few days ago. He
spoke of inviting ,three of his foriner jailers to his Inaugural
ceremony. With one phrase, one gesture, he transcended hundreds
of years of animosity and bitterness to remind all South Africans
indeed all people -~ of our common humanity.
The ·triumph of democracy in South Africa is rooted not only
in the hopeful spirit of the people who live there, but also in
the democratic example our nation has lent the world for two
centuries.
We Americans have always stood for ·freedom, for diversity,
for the ideal that p~ople of different backgrounds and skin
colors and religious·beliefs can live in harmony.
And that's why the future of South Africa·is inextricably
tied to the future of our·own nation. South Africa's experience
is something for us to applaud, to behold, to celebiate. But it
is also a reminder that the potential for change in our own
country must spring from the hearts, minds, .and souls of American
citizens.
·
·
Never has that been more, true than it is today. As we listen
to calls for freedom around the world, we see our own freedoms
threatened more and more in our own backyard.
But this time our adversary is not a country~ not an Evil
Empire. It's the combined scourges of violence, intolerance, and
incivility. All of which stem from a lack of faith in the future
. . ·. and an abdication of r~sponsibility on the part of too many
Americans that has allowed institution after institution to be
transformed, beg:i,nning with the family.
As we think about our roles and our futures, we need to
recognize the ways in which we can prevent our institutions --.
and our freedoms -- from eroding any further. We must renew our
trust in each other. We must reconcile our differences. We must
refurbish o-qr ideals of freedom and democracy.
But
means.
~e
can only do that by recognizing what real fteeddm
We need to recognize that we are nqt truly free if we have
to worry about our physical safety walking down Green Street·or
across the quad at night. We ~re not truly .fr~e if we have to
live in a house with bars on the windows and dead bolt locks on
the doors. We are not truly free if we are afraid to express a
controversial po,int of view. We are not truly free ifwe prefer
2
�to hate than to love.
.
The writer and journalist William Allen White wrote that
"liberty is the·only thing you cannot have_unless you are willing
to give it to other~." And I would add: Unless.you are willing to
exercise the responsibilities that go with_it~
As you leave the familiar and cozy confines of university
life, you will find· your.self thrust into new roles that. oblige .
you to· grow and evolve·in a challenging, fast-paced society.
You will:find that your own freeqom will depend on finding
the proper balance in your lives-- not only· among work, service
and family-- but alsobetween yourrights.as individuals and
your responsibilities to your community and your country.
your
only
your
your
And that balance may change as you go through life, and as
obligatiorts change~ Defining who you are will depend not
on the personal-milestones you reach, but on .the firmness of
beliefs, the courage of your convictions, and .the depth of
civic spirit~
As we struggle to find a new spirit of community in our
country, we will rely on your best thinking to help us succeed.
The great issues of day, the ones your generation will be
entrusted to tackle, are not ju~t about policies and ~cilitics and
dollars ·and cents. They are about our moral-obligation· as .
individuals to. protect and care for ·the larger community--- the
larger American family -- that we all belong to~ · ·
All of which brings
health care reform.
~e
to one of my favorite·subjects:
·
The President's .profound commitment to fix our health care
system is not simply a matter of wanting to reduce our deficit
and cut down on paperwork. His interest goes much deeper than
that.
Today,. nearly lO.million children do not have health
insurance. Millions of children neve~ see a doctor~ Nearly 40
percent of all two-yea.r:--olds have not received immunizations
against the major childhood diseases. Half of today's private
health plaris don't pay for basic preventive services for
children, such as vaccines and well-baby exams .. And too often,
children with chronic illnesses can't get coverage at al.l..
When you compound the health problems of children with other
burdens -- hunger, splintered families, violence, lack of love
and nurturing
the problems of society grow exponentially.
So when th.e President talks about why, as a nation, .it is
3
�important that every citizen have health insurance, he is really
talking about protecting and preserving the health of society as
a whole. He's asking us to look at society as our larger family
and to offer it the mutual care we give to our immediate
relatives. He's saying: Everyone must 'be concerned about the
well-being of everyone else.
---·
But in the end, whether we are thinking about health care,
or public safety, or education~ or the many other challenges
confronting us today, we must remember that government cannot
solve all of our problems alone. In the end, the freedoms we
secure for ourselves~ and the progress we make as a nation, will
depend much more on Ol:lr attitudes·and values as individuals than
on any single government policy or initiative.
)c~
As you graduate today, as you ponder your futures, I hope
you will remember that miracles do happen. I hope you will
remember that when the reservoir of hope is deep enough, anything
· is possible.
Let us celebrate the birth of democracy in one nation by
renewing our faith in democracy in another. As Nelson Mandela
said at his inauguration last Tuesday:
"We understand it still that there is no easy road to freedom.
We know it well that nohe of us acting alone can achieve success.
We must therefore act together as a united people, for national
reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a·new
world.
Let there be justice £or all.
Let there be peace for all.
Let there be work, bread, water, and salt for all . . . .
Let freedom reign.
The sun: shall never set on so glorious a human achievement!"
· Thank you. And Godspeed.

accomodates some 11,000 people.·. ·Given your partic1paJ;ton, we expect a
full house at. both ceremonies. We hope also you will attend a luncheon to
· be .held.. in··your

. Ms. Karen Finney
The White House
Washington, D.c.·
·· Dear Ms. Finney:
There is one issue I think you ought to be aware of as Hillary Rodham Clinton
prepares to visit the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The issue .
. concerns the university's symbol, Chief llliniwek, the name of the imaginary
American Indian portrayed by a student chosen during a competition held each
year. The student, who wears American Indian apparel, performs a dance
during the halftime of home football and basketball games. A likeness of the
chief symbol also appears on some apparel and on other goods sold in the
campus area. The ~hief has been part of campus tradition since 1926.
.
.
There is an ongoing debate about the appropriateness of the chief. The
university'sboardof ti¥stees four years ago voted to reta.in the chief; in 1989 the .
state legislature passed a resol_utioh by unanimous voice vot~ in support of the
.. chief; and a survey of alumni showed the overwhelming majority of respondents
favored retaining the chief as the university symbol. On the other side of the·
·.issue are those people, including students and alumni, who are opposed to the
chief. Among other things,· they believe it is demeaning to American Indians and
perpetuates ~acial stereotypes.
.
.
Within the last few weeks, as you no doubt know, the University of Iowa decided
to stop playing non-conference sports events against teams using American .
Indian symbols; the University of Wisconsin already has such a policy. Earlier
. this month, Marquette University dropped its nickname, the Warriors. The state
of Minnesota recently passed a measure that requires a beer company to drop the
use of the name Crazy Horse for itsbeer.
·
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Given all these changes and the recent ·meetings a~ong President Clinton and
some cabinet memb~rs with American Indian leaders, I thought you ought to be
apprised of f!te situation here.
·
Sincerely,
't#lkr--

BYLINE: STEPHEN STRAUSS; Toronto Globe and Mail
BODY: Douglas Bernstein has tapped into one of every student's nightmares. The final
··exam is tomorrow and the student hasn't studied for it. How can he escape certain failure? ·
·What lies does he tell the teacher?
.
.
· Professor Bernstein, who teaches psychology at the University of Illinois at Champagne.
-Urbana, knows what won't work. He has been soliciting lame or unbelievable student
excuses from his colleagues around the world..
""The best one was· someone who had th.eir the~apist call the professor to eiplain why the
student wasn't turning in written assignments," he says. ""The therapist said the student had a
. multiple personality .and her good side was writing· the assignments, but her bad side was
·. tearing thetit up and throwing them away. "
·
·
·.Bernstein has collected a number of the best excuses -- what he calls his sh.dent Excuse
Hall of Fame-- and published. them in the American Psycho~ogical Society·Obseryer.
He lists the excuse~. in categories originally set up by psychologist Martin· Sch.wartz. In
1986 Schwartz published a tongue-in-cheek ·paper·showing that the more ·excuses students
gave, the lower, on average, their grade-point average
was.
One category was grandparents' death. While this is a perenriiai excuSe, one professOr
reported an epidemic of it. In one class of 250 students, 14 reported such a death before the
.final examinations. Friends'/relatives' accident/illness was a· common excuse. A student
wrote, ""I missed the exam because ofmy uncle's funeral.and I can't take the makeup .
. tomorrow because .I just found out my aunt has a br&.in tumor. " Another weighed. in with, ""I
can'.t take the test Friday because my mother is having a vasectomy. u· ·
.
�Automobiles were also asked to shoulder the blame for unexpected absences. ""I'm late for
the test because l hit a toilet in the. middle of the road." a student wrote.
Animals took precedence over tests in many students' lives.
""I can't be at the exam because my cat is having kittens and I'm her coach," one woman
explained. Another student wrote the modern version of the .classic
·my-dog-ate-my-homework. The distraught victim complained. ''"My paper is late because my
parrot crapped into my computer. ·~
. Crime can also take its toll on examination takers. 11 "1 need to take the final early because
the.husband of a woman I am seeing is threatening to kill me," one student wrote.
In the broad category of ""other," studentS have been quite inventive. ""I want to
reschedule the final because my grandmother is a nun." according to one pious non sequitur.
""I'm too happy to give my presentation," another student said. A third had social obligations
to perform: ""I can't take the exam on Monday because my mom. is getting married on
.Sunday and I'll be too drunk to drive back to school. " In his American Psychological Society
paper, Bernstein suggests facetiously that a data base of excuses be set up so that students can
just type in the serial number of a standard explanation and the machine will forward it to a
professor.
However, he cautions, it is often difficult to tell a tnith from a lie.
The story abo~t the person whose uncle died and whose aunt was diagnosed with a brain
tumor was true. ""We have to recognize that students have lives, that things happen to them,
· so we have to start out assuming they aren't lying. "
He has developed his own way of winnowing through some excuses that are j~st big fibs.
In the case of a death, he sends a condolence card to the family. ""If there a death, they ·
think I am a nice guy; If it was not true, I often get a call from the. deceased wondering what
is going on. "
Arid while he has received Canadian and Australian entries for his collection. Bernstein
said he has not been able to determine any national or' cultural pattern in student excuses,
''"Grandmother's dying gets used all over th.e place. "

Following are the remarks of Hillary Rodham Ointon at the University of

I am always glad to be back in ffiinois, and I'm glad to be back at thisuniversity.
When I was growing up in ffiinois, I came down to a football game which we won
years ago and I'm glad to see we're off on the same route. This is a very exciting day
for me. Not only am I home and get to be introduced by Richard_Lewis, whom I
think is terrific, but I get a chance to come and talk about this election- which I
believe is a turning point for our country - with people whom I think have more at
stake in what happens than maybe some of the rest of us who were in college a
·
couple of decades ago.
The country really is at a turning point Thankfully the Cold War hasended. We
have an opportunity now to tum our energies to solving our problems here at home.
And we have to do that, because for too long we have neglected .a lot of America's
problems. If we don't solve our economic challenges, provide educational
opportunity, take care of our health care problems and all the other issues that are
not only on the front pages but the front burners of every home in America, this
country will brea~ faith with the past and break faith with you.
Those of us who grew up in the 1950s and 60s and 70s, took for granted a lotof
what was there for us. Because of our parents and our grandparents and the
sacrifices they made as well as political leaders, both Democrats and Republicans,
who put the country ahead of their own political well-beings. We had a country that
offered us opportunities that were available if we were willing to. work for them.
But now, look at what is happening. For the first time.we have a generationof
young Americans, people like you all over this country, who cannot assume that the
�American dream and the opportunities that we took for granted will be available for
you and for your children.
·
That's not the way it needs to be.
We don't have to continue to read the statistics week after week, about thenumber
of Americans who are unemployed, the number of Americans who are working but
whose jobs, even after working 40 hours a. week, cannot lift them out of poverty.
We do not have to live with the level of violence in this society, whereevery three
hours an American child is murdered on our streets. We do not have to continue to
deny health care opportunities to our youngest and our oldest citizens.
We do not need to worry whether our children will have the kinds ofeducational
opportunities they need to be competitive. And we do not have to continue to step
around and over the homeless people in the streets of America for another year.
My husband, Bill Ointon and AI Gore have a very different vision of Americathan
the one we're confronted with now. Their vision is a positive vision, a hopeful
vision. It is one where people are brought together across racial and etlu)ic lines,
where no longer are the differences among us exploited for short-term political gain,
but rather serve as a basis for a new strength in this country where every person's
God-given potential can be realized and where all of us together can build the kind
of future we can be proud of again.
. This vision asks something of all of us. It says, "Yes, we need a neweconomic
policy." We must, once and for all, put an end to this experiment that has been tried
for 12 years, this trickledown econOI;nics, which has failed. For 12 years, the reigning
philosophy in Washington has been to keep taxes on the richest of Americans as low
as possible and then somehow expect us to be able to be competitive and create jobs
and income for all Americans.
·
Well, the results are in and they're painful to see. But they shouldn't besurprising.
In 1980, American workers had the highest wages in the world. Today, we are 13th
and falling.· We now have the biggest gap in income disparity between the richest
and the poorest of Americans that we ever had in our recorded history, and nearly
two-thirds, of all Americans are working harder for less income than they made in
1980. A lot of you, a lot of your parents, and a lot of your grandparents are in that
category,
·
·
We need to try a different approach. And what my husband has proposed is
anapproach that invests in American jobs, products and services. We are the only
country that actually gives tax breaks to people who want to move jobs out of illinois
overseas. It is time that we do away with that kind of tax system and instead
substitute incentives and investments to grow this economy the old-fashioned way.
·
Let people invest in jobs here, new plants and equipment, ·new research and
�development
You'll hear a lot in this campaign with people trading all kinds of
chargesback-and-forth. One of those is that my husband and AI Gore have proposed
much deeper cuts in the defense budget That's not true. There's about a 5 percent
disparity in the decreases that my husband and AI think can happen in the next four
years and what the current administration is proposing. But there is a very big
difference in what they would do.
Bill Clinton and AI Gore would take every dollar by which we decreasedefense,
and transfer that into the civilian economy where we'll make investments in new
transportation and communications and other kinds of technology.
When AI Gore came back from the Earth Summit he Said to Bill and me that itjust
made him sick to be down in Rio and to watch representatives of other countries
who know. where a lot of new jobs are going to come from - they're going to come
from environmental technology - out there selling all kinds of new products to other
countries that will put their people to work, while our government is standing back,
dragging its feet, refusing to ·accept reality. Well, that is not the kind of government
we will have after January of next year.
Here at this great university, wouldn't it be nice to have a real educationpresident
for. at change? And in the vision of America that my husband has, what we'll have is
an education president who believes· that America's students can learn as much and
perform as well as students anywhere in the world, no matter who their parents are ·
or what their. family backgrounds are.. American students.can and will perform well
in school if they're expected to learn and given the challenge to do so.
And although most of the learning has to happen in the homes and schools
ofAmerica, there are at least a couple of things a real education president can do.
First, fully fund Head Start so that every youngster gets an fair chance to begin
· school ready to learn. Second, take the national education goals, of which my
husband was the primary drafter during the. summit between the governors and the
president, that were promptly pu:t on the back shelf somewhere and take them off
the shelf and look at them. Those goals set forth the kind of objectives we should be
trying to reach in this country. one of them is that American students will be first in
the world in math and science by the year 2000.
Now is that going to be easy? Of course it's not going to be easy. It'sgoing to be
very difficult if we are not prepared to do it But let's sat a goal for ourselves~ I can
remember as a young student having a Republican president named Eisenhower
who, when Sputnik went up, said to us, "We're going to do better in math and
science education," and then started the Eisenhower Grant Program to improve math
and science teaching. "I remember a Democratic president named John Kennedy who
said, "We're going to put a person on the moon and we expect young people to be
.part of that great adventure.". Bill and I don't have a clue what George Bush wants
�our 12-year-old daughter to learn, but I want all of the children in America to have a
president who will tell them that learning is their job.
There are two other things a real education President named Bill Ointonwill do.
First, only 30 percent of the young people of this country get a college degree. Those
of you who are here at this university should be grateful and very aware of that
Seventy percent do not, .and what happens to them? We don't give them the kind of
help that they deserve. But what my husband wants to do is give any young person
who graduates from high school and wants a good job instead of a dead-end job at
two-year apprenticeship program to learn the kind of skills and abilities that will
enable them to be competitive in our society. Isn't it time that we reverse the policies
of the Reagan-Bush years which made it increasingly difficult for young people from
middle-income and working families to afford to go to college? Let's make college a
real investment for the country.
What my husband proposes is to scrap the existing student loan and
grantprogram that is out there confusing people and making it impossible for us to
know what the requirements are, and substitute it with a national service b:'Ust fund
out of which anybody can borrow the money to go to college, but they have to pay it
back. This new vision of America includes responsibility from citizens, and it will
have to be paid back in one of two ways: either as a percentage of your income at
income tax time so there's no more opportunity for defaults - you pay the money
back; or, with two years of national service back here at home.
Think of what we could do in this country if those of you who got yourcollege
educations were willing t'o come back to this part of Illinois or wherever you're from
and serve two years as a police officer, as a teacher, as a child care worker, to build
housing for the homeless, to help solve the problems of America. It's not only a
good investment in your future, it's an investment in America, and it's the kind of
idea that will get this country moving in the right direction.
There are so many issues that have been talked about by my husband and
Sen.Gore, and they've actually put out a book that's available at newsstands. It's
called "Putting People First" It is an outline of their program. It is a book which sets
forth what their policy proposals are. You do not have to read their lips; read this
book if you want to know what they will do.
·
This country can't be a world leader - it can't set the standard fordemocratization,
for free-market economies, for human rights, for the kinds of issues that we have
always stood for if we are not strong at home. We never defeated the former Soviet
union on any field of battle; they fell from withi_n. And we are now incarcerating a
larger percentage of our people than every nation. According to the latest figures out
of Washington, we now h~ve one of every five children living in poverty.
We have a lot of problems. But, you know, this country has had toughertimes in
the past Other generations have had to rise to their challenges. Abraham Lincoln,
�---------------
out of this state, had to keep a nation together. Franklin Roosevelt;. from his
wheelchair, had to make su.re that we were not afraid, that we were willing to take
on the challenges of a depression and a world war.
It is time now for all of us to do our part to make sure that this countryis what it
should be. We have this challenge in front of us. We need to do away with the
politics of denial and diversion and neglect that have dominated our political scene
for too long, and instead substitute for it a sense of hope, a ~nse of progress, a sense
of togetherness, a sense of community, investing in our people by putting them first,
and making sure that this vision of America that we have is translated into reality.
Making speeches doesn't make that happen. Holding posters doesn't make
thathappen. What makes that happen is participation in this election on Nov. 3. And
for many, many people, the level of cynicism and disbelief is so great that the idea of
even voting is more of a commitment than they are willing to make. But you know
what? There are people all over this world, in the former countries of Eastern
Europe that are free, or in the republics of the former Soviet Union, or in Central or
South America, or in Asia, who have literally died for a right which we tum our
backs on every single year.
·
Just as in the former Soviet Union, when we're challenged nobody can beat
usexcept ourselves. Nobody can tum back the tide of progress except those of us
who don't care to be involved in making it happen. In the late 1960s, I WaS one of
those people who worked hard and believed that if we amended our Constitution so
that 18- year-olds, and 19-year-olds, ·and 20-year-olds could vote, it would make a
difference. I'm sorry to say that it hasn't, because 18 to 24 year-olds are among the
fewest voters in our population. But when you think about it, every election means
more to young people than it does-to those of us who are on the other side of the
half of our life.
What we have to try to do, what my husband and AI are trying to do, is toonce
again light some hope, some belief to quell the fires of despair, .hopelessness and
cynicism that are eating away at the vitality of this nation. When people are set
against people to create an electoral majority so that we look with fear at each other
instead of looking at our leadership, the folks in power stay there. And we blame
one another for our problems. We step over homeless people. We add another
deadbolt on our door. We worry about how we're going to get a job in a losing
market instead of a growing one. That's not by accident
What we need to do together is to tum our faces to Washington and say,"This
country deserves, indeed demands, leadership as good as we are." H each of us is, at
the very least, willfug to register and then vote, it will send a signal. It will once
again keep faith with those who have come before. The registration deadline in
illinois is Oct 5. .Those of you who are from other places and don't intend to register
here, find out what your deadlines are and find out how you get an absentee ballot
For those of you who are going to register here, don't wait until tomorrow - do it
�- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
today.
Think about the kind of country you want to see in a year or 10 years, inthe next
century.. Think about what we can do if we believe in ourselves again, if we take
responsibility for ourselves and our neighbors, if we face up to ·instead of deny our
problems, and if we have leadership like we've had in the past which summons the
best and not the worst from us. America's best days are ahead ofus if we are willing
to seek them. Thank you all very much.

the proposed action, provided, of course, it is confident that it is representing the
country in the course, which it is taking. Therefore, I hope the Debate when it ends
may leave the impression that there has been no derogation from the authority and
freedom of Parliamentary institutions. I particularly resent the suggestion that we are
adopting the methods of Fascist States. We are not. We are the servants of the House.
It may be true that the House will support its servants, but if it does not the powers in
their hands are without effect, and so long as that fact is established it is absolutely
improper, as well as unhelpful, to place us upon the level of totalitarian Governments
which have no corrective legislature, no law but their own wills, no check on the
enforcement of their own particular doctrines in any way they choose.
GERMAN EXECUTIONS OF HOST AGES
October 25, 1941
London
His Majesty's Government associate themselves fully with the sentiments of
horror and condemnation expressed by the President of the United States upon the
Nazi butcheries in France. These cold-blooded executions of innocent people will only
recoil upon the savages who order and execute them.
The butcheries in France are an example of what Hitler's Nazis are doing in
many other countries under their yoke. The atrocities in Poland, in Yugoslavia, in.
Norway, in Holland, in ·Belgium, and above all behind the ·German fronts in Russia,
surpass anything that has been known since the darkest and most bestial ages of
mankind.
They are but a fo~etaste of what Hitler would inflict upon the British and
American peoples if only he could get the power. Retribution for these crimes must
henceforward take its place flmong the major purposes of the war.

A Time of Triumph: 1941
6499
For you have power in danger's hour
Our freedom to defend, Sir/
Though long the fight we know that right
Will triumph in the end, Sir'"
Almost a year has passed since I came down here at your Head Master's kind
invitation in order to cheer myself and cheer the hearts of a few of my friends by
singing some of our own songs. The ten months that have passed have seen. very
terrible catastrophic events in the world-ups and downs, misfortunes-but can anyone
sitting here this afternoon, this October afternoon, not feel deeply thankful for what
has happened in the time that has passed and for the very great improvement in the
position of our country and of our home? Why, when I was here last time ·we were
quite alone, desperately aJone, and we had been so for five or six months. We were
poorly armed. We are not so poorly armed to-day; but then we were very poorly
armed. We had the unmeasured menace of the enemy and their air attack still beating
upon us, and you yourselves had had experience of this attack; arid I expect you are
beginning to feel impatient that there has been this long lull with nothing particular
turning up!
But we must learn t6 be equally good at what is shortand sharp and what is long
and tough. It is generally said. that the British are often better at the last. They do not
expect to move from crisis to crisis; they do not always expect that each day will bring
up some noble chance of war; but when they very slowly make up their minds that the
thing has to .be done and the job put through and finished, then, even if it takes
months-if it takes years-they do it.
· Another lesson I think we may take, just throwing our minds back to our
meeting here ten months ago and now, is that appearances are often very deceptive,
and as J(jpling well says, we must
" ... meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just. the same."
You cannot tell from appearances how things will go. Sometimes imagination
makes things out far worse than they are; yet without imagination not much can be
done. Those people .who are imaginative see many more dangers than perhaps exist,
certainly many more than will happen; but then they must also pray to be given that
extra courage to carry this far-reaching imagination. Bur for everyone, surely, what we
have gone through in this period-! am addressing myself to the School-surely from
this period of ten months this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never,
never, never-in nothing,· great or smaJL large or petty-never give in except to
convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the
apparently overwhelming might of the enemy. We stood all alone a year ago, and to
many countries it seemed that our account was closed, we were finished. All this·
tradition of ours, our songs, our School history, this part of the history of this
country, were gone and finished and liquidated.
'·
Very different is the mood to-day. Britain, other nations though L had drawn a
sponge across her slate. But instead our country stood in the gap. l11ere was no
flinching and no thought of giving in; and by what seemed almost a miracle to those
I.

Speeches of Winston Churchill
outside these Islands, though we ourselves never doubted it, we now find ourselves in a
position where I say that we can be sure that we have ordy to persevere to·conquer.
You sang here a verse of a School Song; you sang that extra verse written in my
honour, which I was very ·greatly complimented by and which you have repeated
to-day. [Editor's Note: The boys had previously sung the school song, "Stet Fortuna
Domus," and this verse had been added in Churchill's honour.) But there is one
word in it I want to alter- I wanted to do so last year, but I did not venture to. It is
the line"Not less we praise in darker days."
I have obtaine? the Head Master's permission to alter "darker" to "sterner":
"Not less we praise in sterner days."
Do not let us speak of darker days; let us speak rather of sterner days. These are
not dark days: these are great days-the greatest days our country has ever lived; and
· we must all· thank God that we have been allowed, each of us according to our
stations, to play a part in making these days memorable. in the history of our race.'
"RESOLVED TO GO FORWARD"
November 7, 1941
.
The Guildhall, Hull
I wanted very much to see this city which has suffered by the malice of our
assailants: I can see that it has had many of its fine buildings shattered and gutted. But
l also see that it has not had the heart of its people cast down.
. The resolution. of the British people is unconquerable. Neither sudden nor
violent shocks, nor long, cold, tiring, provoking strains and lulls, can or will alter ou_r
course. No country made more strenuous efforts to avoid being drawn into this war,
but I dare say we shall be found ready and anxious·to prosecute it whensome of those
who provoked it are talking vehemently about peace. lt has·been rather like that in old
times.
I am often asked to say how we are going to win this war. I remember being
asked that last time very frequently, and not being able to give a very precise or
conclusive answer. We kept on doing our best; we kept on improving. We profited by
our mistakes and our experiences. We turned misfortune to good account. We were
told we should run short of this or that, until the only thing we ever ·ran short of was
Huns. We did our duty.'We did not ask to see too far ahead, but strode forth upon our
path, guided by such lights as led us, and then one day we saw those who had forced
the struggle upon the world cast down their arms in the open field and immediately
proceed to beg for sympathy, mercy, and considerable financial support.
Now we have to do it all over again. Sometimes I wonder why. Having chained
this fiend, this monstrous power of Prussian militarism, we saw it suddenly resuscitat·
