Heyns speaks about the University of California at Berkeley. He says coming to Berkeley, he has found a university with first-rate academics, notable alumni, and a campus that has gone through a difficult year. He notes that there is a new kind of student with a new culture. He argues the new student does not have an idea of how the world should be, but like Biblical prophets, criticizes society based on its actions given society's professed values. He also says they are intelligent, hard-working, well-trained, and motivated. On the role of the university in a time of crisis, he presents the University vis-a-vis the Vietnam War. He says that the university should avoid politicizing itself on national politics. He notes that times of war try the university's position on freedom of expression. Heyns says the hard part is a crisis of confidence.
