As I said, the college has a proud history of publicly examining controversial issues.Why should we do this?The publicity we receive is often sensational,and there is no joy in encouraging argument for its own sake;in fact that sort of discussion just increases tension.(1)_______________________.In addition controversial topics are the ones which most need informed attention.As the world forges ahead,we often find our scientists have surpassed our philosophers.We frequently develop scientific marvels without realizing their full implications.(2)_______________________.We are now able to keep people alive far longer than before,but this medical ability must be measured in relation to the quality of those lives.I urge you to spend your time at Scholastic House wisely.(3)_______________________.It is your responsibility to continue this tradition of querying where our world is going.Progress is not always upwards.I wish you every joy in your time here,and I hope that I will hear much well-informed debate from you.
