DINNER REMARKS//G.R.116/.7/69
HAVE PAID
TONIGHT/WE PAY TRIBUTE TO FIVE OUTSTANDING TEACHERS...
MICHIGAN'S MUSIC TEACHERS OF THE YEAR.
FOR
COULD BE
ME
THERE NO MORE PLEASURABLE ASSIGNMENT.
I VALUE GOOD TEACHERS SO HIGHLY THAT I BELIEVE WE SHOULD
PAY TRIBUTE TO THEM EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR. IN FACT,
AMERICA WILL NEVER ADVANCE TO ITS FULL CAPABILITIES AS A
NATION UNTIL OUR GOOD, DEDICATED TEACHERS ARE ACCORDED THE
PRESTIGE AND EMOLUMENTS WHICH SHOULD RIGHTFULLY ACCRUE
TO THEM IN THE LIGHT OF THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR WELFARE.
2/ DINNER
WE HAVE WITH US TONIGHT THE VERY FINEST OF
MICHIGAN'S MUSIC TEACHERS. WE ARE GATHERED
IT IS I WHO
HERE TO HONOR THEM. BUT FEEL HONORED TO BE IN THEIR
PRESENCE BECAUSE I HAVE ALWAYS FELT THE GREATEST RESPECT
FOR A FINE TEACHER. I HAVE ALWAYS FELT THERE IS NO
INDIVITUAL IN OUR SOCIETY WHO IS MORE
VALUABLE AND MORE IMPORTANT THAN A GOO D TEACHER. AS
HENRY ADAMS PUT IT: "A TEACHER AFFECTS ETERNITY: HE
CAN NE VER TELL WHERE HIS INFLUENCE
STOPS."

PRESIDENT JAMES GARFIELD IN AN ADDRESS TO WILLIAMS
COLLEGE ALUMNI IN 1871 PAID TRIBUTE TO A GREAT TEACHER,
WILLIAMS COLLEGE PRESIDENT MARK HOPKINS, WITH THESE
WORDS: "GIVE ME A LOG HUT, WITH ONLY A SIMPLE BENCH,
MARK HOPKINS ON ONE END AND I ON THE OTHER, AND YOU MAY
HAVE ALL THE BUILDINGS, APPARATUS AND LIBRARIES WITHOUT HIM."
WHAT GARFIELD WAS SAYING, OF COURSE, WAS SIMPLY THAT THE
INDIVIDUAL TEACHER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN THE
ENTIRE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS.
4/ DINNER
THE GERMAN POET AND PHILOSOPHER GOETHE (pronounced
Gay-teh), INASMUCH AS HE WAS MOST CONCERNED WITH THE
ARTS AND HUMANITIES, ONCE WROTE: "A TEACHER WHO
CAN AROUSE A FEELING FOR ONE SINGLE GOOD ACTION, FOR
ONE SINGLE GOOD POEM, ACCOMPLISHES MORE THAN HE WHO
FILLS OUR MEMORY WITH ROWS ON ROWS OF NATURAL OBJECTS,
CLASSIFIED WITH NAME AND FORM."
TONIGHT WE HERE HONOR TEACHERS OF MUSIC...THE
UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE BECAUSE
IT IS THE LANGUAGE OF PEACE.
5/ DINNER
THERE ARE THOSE WHO CONSIDER MUSIC THE
GREATEST OF THE ARTS.
WE ARE GRATEFUL TO ALL OF THE YOUNG
PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO MAKING MICHIGAN'S
PROVING TO BE AND
YOUTH ARTS FESTIVAL THE TREMENDOUS SUCCESS IT IS
TO THE TEACHERS WHO HELPED THEM DEVELOP THEIR FINE
TALENTS.
MUSIC
TO THE FIVE TEACHERS SINGLED OUT FOR SPECIAL HONORS,
I SAY: "WE SALUTE YOU AS MICHIGAN'S FINEST. "####
CONCERT REMARKS
E.R.1/6/17/69
THIS NOON I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF
PRESENTING AWARDS TO WINNING STUDENTS IN THREE AREAS
OF THE ARTS--MUSIC,
VISUAL ART AND FORENSICS.
I AM VERY MUCH IMPRE SSED AND
EXCITED BY THE
CALIBER OF YOUNG PEOPLE I AM SEEING HERE TODAY. IT IS
THIS KIND OF AN EVENT THAT RENEWS MY FAITH IN
THE
ANK YOUNG PEOPLE OF AMERICA, AND THEREFORE MY FAITH IN
GERALD
AMERICA AS A NATION. FOR THE FUTURE OF AMERICA LIES IN
THE HANDS OF THE YOUNG. IN A FEW MOMENTS WE
2/ CONCERT
WILL ALL BE TREATED TO A DEMONSTRATION OF THE OUTSTANDING
THAT'S THE KIND OF DEMONSTRATION I LIKE.
MUSICAL TALENTS OF MICHIGAN'S YOUNG PEOPLE I AM NOT A
MUSICIAN MYSELF AND THEREFORE NO JUDGE BUT I AM TOLD THAT
THE
HONORS BAND, THE STRING QUARTET, AND THE
WE ARE ABOUT TO HEAR
SOLOISTS ARE GOOD BY ANY STANDARDS.
I WOULD LIKE TO
CONGRATULATE THEM IN ADVANCE.
HERBERT SPENCER ONCE
WROTE: "MUSTC MUST RANK AS THE HIGHEST OF THE FINE ARTS--
AS THE ONE WHICH, MORE THAN ANY OTHER, MINISTERS TO HUMAN
WELFARE." AND NOW, LET US ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE

REMARKS BY ARTS FESTIVAL HONORS LUNCHEON 6/17/69
IT IS A PRIVILEGE AND AN HONOR TO BE
HERE, SURROUNDED BY THE VERY BEST YOUNG TALENT IN THE
STATE OF MICH IGAN IN THE FIELD OF THE ARTS.
IN
MY JUDGMENT, YOU YOUNG PEOPLE CONSTITUTE THE
MOST EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTION OF TALENT EVER GATHERED
IN GRAND RAPIDS. I THEREFORE AM
2/ LUN CHEON
EXTREMELY PROUD THAT, FOR THE FIRST TIME, GRAND RAPIDS
IS THE SITE FOR THE MICHIGAN YOUTH ARTS FESTIVAL.
I VIEW IT AS MOST APPRORIATE THAT A YOUTH ARTS
FESTIVAL SHOULD BE THE EVENT THAT KICKS OFF OUR OBSERVANCE
MICHIGAN
OF MICHIGAN WEEK. I HEARD A YOUNG VISITOR TO WASHINGTON
REMARK THE OTHER DAY, "NOT ONLY IS THE
UNITED STATES
THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, BUT MICHIGAN IS THE
GREATEST STATE."
I AM CONSTANTLY HEARTENED BY THE
EXUBERANCE AND ENTHUSIASM OF YOUTH.
GERALD
IBRARY
3/ LUNCHEON
I AM MOST IMPRESSED BY EVERYTHING I HAVE SEEN AND
HEARD HERE TODAY. IT IS AN OCCASION LIKE THIS WHICH
GIVES ME FAITH THAT LIFE FOR MEN CAN CONSTANTLY MO VE
FORWARD TOWARD A HIGHER ORDER. A YOUTH FESTIVAL OF
THIS KIND IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE
I
HAVE SEEN THAT HUMAN BEINGS CAN REALIZE THE GREAT
POTENTIAL THAT LIES WITHIN THEM.
LUNCHEON
Too
THIS IS A HIGHLY IMPORTANT OCCASION
BECAUSE IT
FOBUSES ATTENTION ON THE ARTS DURING AN AGE OF
MATERIALISM AND WORSHIP OF THE SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY.
WE NEED CONSTANTLY TO BE REMINDED THAT MAN DOES NOT
LIVE BY BREAD ALONE... THAT HIS SOUL REQUIRES SPECIAL FOOD
AND HIS SPIRIT THE NURTURING THAT FLOWS FROM BEAUTY.
MANY ADULT AMERICANS TODAY TEND TO VIEW OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE WITH SUSPICION BECAUSE THE NATION IS BESET WITH
FURMOIL...ATTEMPTS BY SOME YOUNG PEOPLE, A TINY MINORITY,
$7
LUNCHEON
TO FORCE CHANGE THROUGH
COERCION, TERROR AND
DESTRUCTION. I BELIEVE WE ARE COMING OF AGE IN AMERICA
ONE REASON
DESPITE CURRENT OUTBREAKS OF VIOLENCE.
^
I
BELIEVE
WE
IS
ARE COMING OF AGE AS A NATION BECAUSE AMERICA IS
FINALLY REWARDING ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE ARTS AS IT HAS
ALWAYS REWARDED ACHIEVEMENTS IN SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.
THE ARTS MAKE A PRECIOUS CONTRIBUTION TO OURI
NATIONAL LIFE...A CONTRIBUTION WHICH IS MEASURELESS.
AS EMERSON SAID: "EVERY GENUINE WORK OF ART HAS AS MUCH
REASON FOR BEING AS THE EARTH AND THE SUN."
LUNCHEON
I LOOK AT
THE FACES OF THE TALENTED YOUNG PEOPLE
HERE, AND I FEEL PROUD TO BE IN THEIR COMPANY. THEY
ARE CREATIVE PEOPLE
AND
THE CREATIVE PERSON IS
TRULY BLESSED BY GOD.
ONE OF THE FAVORITE EXPRESSIONS
AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE
TODAY IS
"I'M JUST IDING MY THING."
I WANT TO CONGRATULATE ALL THE YOUNG
PEOPLE HERE
FOR THEY ARE
TODAY ON THE THING THAT THEY ARE DOING,
BRINGING
BEAUTY INTO
21
LIBRARY
NOT ONLY THEIR
OWN LIVES BUT THE LIVES OF OTHERS.
LUNCHEON
IT'S TRUE THAT WHEN THE ARTIST CREATES
WHETHER HE
IS PAINTING, DANCING
OR PLAYING A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
HE IS SAYING, "ART IS I." BUT AT THE SAME TIME HE IS
SHARING HIMSELF WITH OTHERS
AND THIS IS ONE OF THE
BLESSINGS OF MANKIND.
AGAIN, MAY I CONGRATULATE ALL OF YOU ON YOUR WONDERFUL
ACHIEVEMENTS
AND MAY III PAY YOU THE FINEST
"MICHIGAN AND THE NAT ION
COMPLIMENT I KNOW

ALL YOU HAVE TONE."
