professor thomas, what is the national university? >> guest: well a national university was an idea put forward by a number of founders. george washington, james madison, benjamin franklin, thomas jefferson and the idea really in short was that the new constitutional order created which we take for granted in our day was really in the process of being built and they turned to education as ones have a way of trying to foster further the kind of political culture, the kind of idea of the kind of education they thought was necessary to sustain that constitutional order. >> host: what would it look like? what would it teach? >> guest: what is really unique about the idea of a national university at the time is i mean first we have to sometimes go back two centuries and think what did our educational systems look like in today and by me think about what are now national institutions of education and by and large secular institutions of education harvard yale and princeton that's not what they look like at the time to get the time they were

he said the national interest should be the last word in national politics. historians have set their sides beyond and within the state and beyond the formally constituted institutions. it shaped development assistance in profound ways. take for instance, the gruesome conclusion of the program in india in the late 1960's. these networks managed to circumvent any single authority. american philanthropies joined up with activists to provide incentives for population control. a loose group of indian proponents ranging from the sun of the prime minister, indira gandhi, innovative bureaucratic control and monitoring and features that brought sterilization programs to villages across india. such networks were also responsible for programs that spread to and beyond india. the adherence of the united states, western europe, china, and india -- it was hardly a development against an unwilling india. it was a broad and cosmopolitan india. they are building military bases in calcutta. it is worth noting before town nation's him. his representative in india happen to be

common national endeavor. it can be done. there is no executive order; there is no law that can require the american people to form a national community. this we must do as individuals, and if we do it as individuals, there is no president of the united states who can veto that decision. as a first step -- as a first step, we must restore our belief in ourselves. we are a generous people, so why can't we be generous with each other? we need to take to heart the words spoken by thomas jefferson: let us restore the social intercourse -- "let us restore to social intercourse that harmony and that affection without which liberty and even life are but dreary things." a nation is formed by the willingness of each of us to share in the responsibility for upholding the common good. a government is invigorated when each one of us is willing to participate in shaping the future of this nation. in this election year, we must define the "common good" and begin again to shape a common future. let each person do his or her

a tired nation -- a tired nation, said david lloyd george, is a tory nation. and the united states today cannot afford to be either tired or tory.

[applause] for the harsh facts of the matter are that we stand at this frontier at a turning-point of history. we must prove all over again to a watching world, as we said on a most conspicuous stage, whether this nation, conceived as it is with its freedom of choice, its breadth of opportunity, its range of alternatives, can compete with the single-minded advance of the communist system. can a nation organized and governed such as ours endure? that is the real question. have we the nerve

and the national women's party firmly believed that. nina allender once said that political cartooning gave her a sense of power that nothing else did. and i don't think she ever intended to become a political cartoonist. she was an artist. she was a painter. and she always believed that that was her path. but over the course of more than ten years she ended up drawing more than 200 cartoons for the national women's party. images that resonated with women, that created a new image for women, somebody they could look up to and relate to. and so her perspective became very important to the overall success and strategy of the national women's party. this, like so many other -- so much of the other work that they were doing was really dedicated to getting their message out in the press, positive or negative, no matter what. and showcasing the strategy that they were employing to bring this movement to a close. so in 1920 when women won the right to vote, it made sense that allender turned right around and continued to draw. her last work ap

we are a nation becalmed.e have lost the brisk pace of diversity and the genius of individual creativity. we are plodding at a pace set by centralized planning, red tape, rules without responsibility, and regimentation without recourse. [applause] senator barry goldwater: rather than useful jobs in our country, our people have been offered bureaucratic "make work," rather than moral leadership. they have been given bread and circuses, spectacles, and, yes, they have even been given scandals. tonight, there is violence in our streets, corruption in our highest offices, aimlessness among our youth, anxiety among our elders, and there is a virtual despair among the many who look beyond material success for the inner meaning of their lives. where examples of morality should be set, the opposite is seen. small men, seeking great wealth or power, have too often and too long turned even the highest levels of public service into mere personal opportunity.

of this wicked nationalism. [applause] mr. hoover: our religious organizations for character building and our youth are devoting service to halt this slump in morals. these agencies need every assistance. but there is a latent force in american life that could be of vital help. this nation needs a rebirth of a great spiritual force, which has been impaired by its citizens -- cynicism and weakened by for an infection. you can call it nationalism if you will, but there is an american brand of nationalism which is neither isolationism nor aggression, and embedded deep both at home and abroad. [applause] mr. hoover: it is the kind of nationalism which recognizes change in the world and requires that we meet them with forward-looking measures. but the spiritual force of which i speak is enshrined in one word. that word is "america." we do not use that word merely as a geographical term. at one time, and even now, that word summons to mind the whole background of our country. this word america recalls that millions of

now, in 1984, we republicans still see our nation through lincoln's eyes.e see america not as a nation divided by region or race or creed or sex or ethnic group, but as one people. we all take pride in our individual heritage. that which makes us unique, but the price we pass on to future generations is the proud heritage of being americans. that was the vision of our country ronald reagan had when he accepted our party nomination four years ago. we remember his closing words to that convention in detroit. god bless america. what better way to open this convention in dallas, what better way to open this us, oneon that finds party united in one nation united, as we move forward toward an era of peace, prosperity, and opportunity behind the leadership of president ronald reagan. what better way than to say from america., god bless thank you.

we have witnessed the spirit of nationalism give birth to the independence of a dozen nations in the10 years, and within the last five years, we have seen the enormous revival of rights. now, i don't pretend to you that a rebirth of that spirit which lies within the word america will cure all moral ills, but with it, we might have a revision of some of our schoolbooks, for instance. the rebirth of the word america might resurrect conscience. it might make us recall the rights and ideals of our people tend to curb the excessive demands of pressure groups. theight stimulate a new enterprise in the tens of thousands of our youth who are in fear of the future, seeking refuge in the bureaucracies of industry and government. a revival of the meaning of the word america might insist on a revision of our weakened courts. it might give support to our defense of freedom.
