"In the task of finding and training men and women who will add strength to the public service, universities have a particular responsibility."
"We must remember, above all, that these men would not be training in order to win a war, but in order to prevent one."
"That task is more important today than at any previous time in our national history."
"We must not let friendly nations go by default."
