| - | From what I've heard from seniors this year | 4:11 |
| they feel as though the students that have entered Duke | 4:13 | |
| over the last two years, | 4:16 | |
| as opposed to the students that entered | 4:17 | |
| when they were coming to Duke are very different. | 4:19 | |
| Their attitudes are very different, | 4:23 | |
| their expectations are completely different. | 4:24 | |
| Students entering Duke now | 4:27 | |
| really feel as though they have a number of rights | 4:29 | |
| when they enter Duke. | 4:32 | |
| And instead of being vague and beating around the bush, | 4:34 | |
| I will basically say that students feel | 4:36 | |
| that if they need to study in their dorm rooms | 4:38 | |
| then they should have that right | 4:41 | |
| at any time of the day on any day of the week. | 4:42 | |
| And I think this has evolved over time, | 4:45 | |
| but I think that, for instance, our noise policy | 4:48 | |
| has really responded to that change in student attitude, | 4:50 | |
| to that change | 4:54 | |
| in the way students perceive their rights to be. | 4:54 | |
| I do feel a certain level of resentment | 4:59 | |
| from the upper-class students. | 5:01 | |
| I think the senior students in particular | 5:03 | |
| feel as though they've worked through four years | 5:05 | |
| of being here, | 5:08 | |
| they have been able to resolve these issues | 5:09 | |
| as a residential community, | 5:12 | |
| and now an outside force, be it a committee, | 5:14 | |
| be it the faculty, be it the administration, | 5:17 | |
| has come in and has presented them with a policy and said, | 5:20 | |
| "This is the way it's going to be." | 5:24 | |
| ("Symphony No. 1") | 5:29 | |
| (dramatic orchestral music) | 5:59 | |
| (tense orchestral music) | 6:26 | |
| (crowd cheering) | 7:04 | |
| - | No way. | 7:10 |
| Absolutely no way that coach Wilson should have been fired. | 7:10 | |
| - | Winning is important. | 7:14 |
| Those who don't understand that don't understand me. | 7:17 | |
| But it is incredible to believe | 7:22 | |
| based on wins and losses only, | 7:25 | |
| that I would not extend coach Wilson's contract | 7:28 | |
| after back-to-back winning seasons, | 7:31 | |
| when in fact I did extend his contract two years earlier | 7:34 | |
| when he was 4-17-1. | 7:38 | |
| (cheerful orchestral music) | 7:42 | |
| - | Well, I think from a coaching standpoint, | 8:08 |
| when you evaluate Duke, | 8:11 | |
| particularly as a new coach, as a new staff, | 8:13 | |
| like we have the forte of our recruiting, | 8:16 | |
| the focal point is the academic school itself. | 8:21 | |
| Duke is highly regarded as an academic institution. | 8:24 | |
| People enjoy the school. | 8:29 | |
| It's a very beautiful campus. | 8:32 | |
| The atmosphere on the campus is excellent. | 8:34 | |
| People that leave here like to come back and visit. | 8:38 | |
| So I feel like our focal point for recruiting in athletics | 8:41 | |
| is the school itself. | 8:45 | |
| The opportunity to get a Duke education. | 8:46 | |
| In the future, it's always hard to visualize the future, | 8:51 | |
| but we want to recruit good students who are good players | 8:55 | |
| and try to build a championship football program at Duke | 8:59 | |
| on good students who are good athletes, | 9:01 | |
| who have good goals and objectives. | 9:05 | |
| - | Well, in a way, it was almost like being a senior | 9:08 |
| at Duke University myself. | 9:11 | |
| It was the fourth year I've been here. | 9:12 | |
| And our first real recruited group of players | 9:14 | |
| won't be seniors until next year, | 9:17 | |
| but this was the fourth season I coached here at Duke, | 9:19 | |
| and I felt very very good | 9:23 | |
| about the way the program was going. | 9:25 | |
| The first year we were here was a 500 season, | 9:27 | |
| a little over 10 and seven, | 9:31 | |
| and then over the next three years | 9:33 | |
| we've climbed a little better each year | 9:35 | |
| to the point where now we've won two | 9:38 | |
| out of the last three ACC Championships | 9:40 | |
| and we've been in the NCAA three years in a row. | 9:42 | |
| And this year obviously was our best year. | 9:45 | |
| Once we got into the tournament | 9:49 | |
| going all the way to the Championship game | 9:50 | |
| and losing it in overtimes. | 9:52 | |
| ("Symphony No. 1") | 9:55 | |
| (tense orchestral music) | 10:32 | |
| (cheerful orchestral music) | 10:38 | |
| - | A lot of these battles went on | 11:29 |
| in the late '60s and early '70s, | 11:31 | |
| and now you can if you want, collect money for funds, | 11:33 | |
| you can have weirdo speakers like me come to Duke, | 11:38 | |
| which I wouldn't have been able 12 years ago. | 11:41 | |
| You can play a role in choosing elective courses. | 11:44 | |
| You can wear your hair long, short, green, blue, pink. | 11:49 | |
| You can stick erasers in your ear, | 11:54 | |
| or under your cheeks or anything like that. | 11:55 | |
| You can screw in your dorms. | 11:58 | |
| (audience laughing) | 12:01 | |
| You can wear a bra or not wear a bra even if you're a guy. | 12:02 | |
| (audience laughing) | 12:06 | |
| I mean, all these student rights and freedoms were won | 12:07 | |
| because your predecessors took chances. | 12:11 | |
| If you're thinking of keeping your nose clean, | 12:14 | |
| if you're thinking of studying real hard | 12:17 | |
| so you can get out and get the big job, | 12:19 | |
| so you can get out and really sell out, | 12:21 | |
| the sale, my friends, is over. | 12:25 | |
| There ain't no jobs out there. | 12:28 | |
| If you wanna live in a better society | 12:30 | |
| you gotta go out and create that society, | 12:32 | |
| and you gotta begin to do it right here and now today. | 12:34 | |
| (audience clapping) | 12:38 | |
| - | It's wonderful to be here at long last at Duke University. | 12:40 |
| I've been trying to get here for some time | 12:44 | |
| and I wanna thank you for inviting me to Duke on your... | 12:46 | |
| (audience clapping) | 12:50 | |
| Thank you very much. | ||
| I've always wanted to see Duke University, right? | 12:51 | |
| I've heard so much about Duke. | 12:54 | |
| You've got such a reputation, you know. | 12:55 | |
| You say to people, "I'm going to Duke University," | 12:57 | |
| they go, "Whoa, yeah?" | 12:59 | |
| (audience laughing) | 13:00 | |
| "Wow, man! | 13:01 | |
| Hey, have a good time." you know. | 13:03 | |
| (audience laughing) | 13:05 | |
| Hey man, everybody, you know, my agents, everybody. | 13:06 | |
| Meet people in the street, "You're going to Duke. | 13:10 | |
| Oh!" | 13:12 | |
| (audience laughing) | 13:13 | |
| "Duke's heavy." | 13:16 | |
| (audience laughing) | 13:18 | |
| Now just recently, | 13:19 | |
| you probably heard a whole bunch of rumpus | 13:20 | |
| going on on Broadway. | 13:21 | |
| It's because they brought us a new show from England | 13:23 | |
| called "Cats". | 13:25 | |
| And, | 13:26 | |
| (audience clapping) | ||
| we do hope you like this rendition of one of the songs. | 13:28 | |
| Thank you. | 13:30 | |

| - | In the time I've been at Duke | 16:22 |
| I've noticed a lot of changes that I really haven't liked. | 16:24 | |
| Basically, you know, I came to Duke... | 16:26 | |
| One of the best things about the school | 16:28 | |
| is that it was a good academic school, | 16:29 | |
| but people weren't afraid to play and have a good time. | 16:32 | |
| And now the administration seems to think that this one, | 16:35 | |
| they wanna make this a pure Ivy | 16:37 | |
| where you just come here and you study all the time, | 16:38 | |
| and you can't have bands on the Quad. | 16:40 | |
| So they put in a new noise policy | 16:42 | |
| and you can't turn your speakers out, | 16:44 | |
| you go outside and play Frisbee. | 16:45 | |
| And, you know, what do you want? | 16:47 | |
| You know, people just hanging out | 16:48 | |
| and be pre-meds the whole time? | 16:49 | |
| I mean, I'm an RA in a freshman dorm, | 16:51 | |
| and I noticed that this year's freshmen | 16:53 | |
| compared to when we were freshmen, | 16:55 | |
| are just totally neurotic about the schoolwork | 16:57 | |
| and they take it far too seriously. | 17:00 | |
| And if the whole school becomes that way | 17:02 | |
| this place can get really boring. | 17:04 | |
| I just feel like the Missions office | 17:06 | |
| should be more concerned | 17:09 | |
| about people who can contribute to the school, | 17:10 | |
| make it a fun place to be | 17:12 | |
| and a more active and interesting place | 17:14 | |
| and less of just an academic hole. | 17:16 | |
| I mean, academics are great, | 17:19 | |
| but you know you can't live your life | 17:20 | |
| working for a multinational | 17:22 | |
| and just thinking about economic reports | 17:24 | |
| and statistical analysis. | 17:26 | |
| ("Symphony No. 6") | 17:30 | |
| (tense dramatic orchestral music) | 18:04 | |
| Man | We've never had as young a team playing | 18:22 |
| so it was really a year of teaching and development. | 18:25 | |
| I think it's gonna be a good base for us | 18:27 | |
| for the next few years. | 18:30 | |
| (cheerful orchestral music) | 18:33 | |

| - | Duke's changed... | 28:57 |
| I think Duke changes more in a student's mind | 28:59 | |
| as he finishes his four years your perspective changes | 29:01 | |
| but there are some things, | 29:05 | |
| rules and regulations have become tighter, | 29:06 | |
| there's less noise on the Quad, | 29:08 | |
| we don't have the big Quad parties and bands | 29:10 | |
| on the Friday afternoons, October and Spring Fest. | 29:12 | |
| But overall, I think that Duke students, | 29:15 | |
| you think it changes a little more | 29:17 | |
| because, you know, you're changing, you're developing | 29:18 | |
| and by your four years you're just ready to get out of here. | 29:21 | |
| So I don't think it changes that much | 29:23 | |
| but some things have gotten stricter | 29:24 | |
| but it's still a great place to go to school. | 29:26 | |

| - | And I think that's our answer | 32:43 |
| that you're here to get the best possible broad, | 32:45 | |
| in a technical sense, | 32:51 | |
| the technical definition of the liberal education. | 32:53 | |
| And if we do that | 32:57 | |
| and if we commit ourselves to the liberal education, | 32:58 | |
| then we've made Duke what I think it ought to be. | 33:00 | |
| And I think it can withstand all of the fads | 33:03 | |
| and all of the changes | 33:06 | |
| if people know how to think and know how to reason, | 33:08 | |
| and know how to distinguish right from wrong, | 33:12 | |
| or truth from things that are not quite in balance, | 33:15 | |
| if they learn the thinking process, | 33:21 | |
