members of the university's governing board were waiting to deliver the news. what was your reaction? >> i was thrilled, excited, sobered. i thought i just have given them my life. >> susie: did you ever picture yourself being president of a university? >> that day i did. if you take me back to when i was six years old or when i was 20 years old, or even when i was 40 years old, no. >> susie: and harvard? >> and harvard. and harvard. >> susie: why did you want it? >> if someone asks you to be president of harvard, you say yes. >> susie: harvard. it is a place brimming in history and tradition. over almost four centuries, the university has drawn the best and the brightest to spend time inside its ivied walls. ♪ eight u.s. presidents have walked to classes here, including john adams, teddy roosevelt, f.d.r., and john f. kennedy, as well as 19 supreme court justices. when the latest nobel prizes were announced, seven winners had studied in harvard's hallowed halls. ♪ the university recently celebrated its 375th birthday. president faust kept a close eye on the fes

and critiquing the university. >> well, fira n. i do not think she was alone in doing this. some deans of women i think followed the say i don't type, but there were certainly other women at other institutions that an of women's archived records as well as in the intercollegiate associate women's students records and some of the ku models were being se the country for the keys, for the sex education courses. those sorts of things. so it certainly was going on. and some of my work illustrates that you can look at deans of women who were involved with the first wave of the women's movement and then sort of moving these concepts forward on campus if individual waves. so i think some of it depended on the institution and how much latitude that institution gave that particular dean of women. >> i'd like to respond, as well. i know it's hard to get this point across in a short presentation. it is not my attention to vilify anyone or say one side was wrong or one side was right. it was -- my greater point is that it was highly contested at

but there's a lot of space in in the universe. and it adds up and it was discovered in 1998, which was, this was discovered that was honored this year with the nobel prize to three of astronomers, which was discovered to be driving an accelerated expansion of the universe. that is, the expansion of universe is not only expanding, which we know for a long time, the expansion is not slowing down as you would think because gravity pulling things together, but it's speeding up. and this we think can only be because of this dark energy. >> steven weinberg you won the nobel prize in physics in 1979 for what? >> a theory that unified two of the basic forces of nature. we know in broad terms of four basic forces as elektra magnetism is reasonably familiar to people, gravitation. we've known about that for a long time. and then to forces that only act inside the nucleus of the atom. the strong nuclear force that holds the particles together, and the weak nuclear force that causes them to change their nature. the theory that was honored, and

so there had been 25 to 30 years since she was at the university of kansas. and emily taylor sortsona in ka. people knew who she was and there was this piece about it. so i took the map of the interviews and i spent a very long time in the archives. and most of the examples i shared with you today actually came out of the archives because i'm not sure that my exact interpretation of what happened would be the way any one of the people i interviewed would explain the activities. because i do think this ises as greg talked about a change in how we talk about things because we start to create a narrative around what it meant and your own personal role within that, which i think is a very interesting topic from the point of view of history. you also need to track through the activities from various points of view. and that's where i think archival documents in conversation with oral history are so important because otherwise you get a disjointed sort of view. so thank you for your question. >> let's go right there in front -- dark sweater, yes. you. >> thank you v

so i think the universities have kind of lost. but when bill triumphed was in society, was in america, was in sophisticated realms of american life and of the world lives. bill's views weren't only but his views on economics are now held around the world. bill's views on foreign policy are held around the world. bill's views in general are the views of adult america. liberalism today is dead. you'll find out in 2012 if you don't know now. liberalism is dead. covertiveism is -- now we have the independents and the modernists on our side. so, i think in an odd and funny way, men can -- the competition for men's souls, but bill won the competition for his point of view, for conservativism, and i think bill buckley for that, and i thank you all for being here.
