If Wake Forest had not been generous to me, I might not have gone to college at all. But then, Wake Forest has always been hospitable to young men and women whatever their economic circumstances. If that commitment were to change, then we will cease to be what Wake Forest was for me and for many others I know. We ought to continue to do everything we can to bring to Wake Forest young men and women, whatever their background, who will give us their talents and strength and character. In that way we can use the power of Wake Forest not only to enrich their lives, but to transform them.
