but above all because they are
misleading -- because they stand in the
way of the solution of hard and
complicated problems. It is not new
that past debates should obscure
present realities. But the damage
of such false dialogue is greater
today than ever before, simply because
today the safety of all the world --
the very future of freedom -- depends
as never before upon the sensible
and clear-headed management of the
domestic affairs of the United States.
The real issues of our own time are
rarely so dramatic as the issues of the
age of Calhoun.
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.
