ha
Let me begin by expressing my deep
appreciation of the honor you have
conferred on me. As General de Gaulle
accordance
acknowledges America to be the daughter
of Europe, so am I pleased to come to
Yale, the daughter of Harvard. Indeed,
have heard that Yale may.someday have
daughters of its own -- and, now that I
am an alumnus, I may apply on behalf of
my daughter.
Jonns be sand
Someone has told me that I now have
the best of both worlds -- a Harvard
education and a Yale degree.
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.
