These are the problems that we
should be talking about -- the real
problems of our age. They cannot be
solved by incantations from the
forgotten past. But the example of
Western Europe shows that they are
capable of solution that governments,
and many of them are conservative
governments, prepared to face technical
problems without ideological
preconceptions, can coordinate the
elements of a national economy to
bring about unexampled growth and
prosperity.

Document source description
This file contains materials collected by the office of President John F. Kennedy's secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, concerning President Kennedy's remarks at the 1962 Yale University graduation ceremony. In his speech the President thanks the University for the honorary degree bestowed upon him, and discusses three areas of domestic concern where the prevalence of myth dangerously impedes progress: fiscal policy, confidence in an administration, and the concept of "big government." Materials in this folder include various memoranda of suggested talking points, a draft by Special Assistant to the President and speechwriter Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., a press copy, and a reading copy of the speech with handwritten notations by the President, as well as a luncheon menu, program for the commencement exercises, and an additional transcript of the speech published by Yale University.
