i mean, a lot of these land grant universities, which is sort of the model for the american public university -- one of the better ideas that america's ever had -- was to create a kind of a, a lot of them were agricultural schools initially, and they were kind of trade school almost, but a trade school that offered sort of a broader education. but they were very much focused on what someone important whose name i can't recall now called, you know, sons of toil. educating sons of toil. so people who are from the working classes, you know, these schools were meant to be a path for them to get an education not just -- and, you know, go into agriculture and be better, more profitable farmers or go into some other kind of trade. and it was breaking the mold of this really aristocratic mold of what universities had been before that where they were either purely religious schools, or they were, you know, very aristocratic and just, you know, the sons and daughters of very wealthy, important people getting educated at the same level as their parents had. and, you know, over the years we added all kin

a lot of universities call the sports programs the front porch of the sports program. check out and put then you'll see the nursing school whatever it is that guess on in the english department. the academics. and that's an interesting theory, and -- but also become an article of faith but it's so many of these universities, the sports program does not give money back to the general fund. almost never gives money back to the general fund they blow up and they explode because no college president who is honest will tell you'll he really has control over his big-time sports program. how could he? the college president is making a hundred thousand a year the coach is making $8 million a year. money talks. real power is in the athletic programs but they're also very, very difficult to unwinds because you create this truck infrastructure, you build a stadium for 80,000 people, build a practice facility, you raise the money, you promise the people in your city, well, when 80,000 people come fill this stadium, they're going to stay in these hotels. they're going to buy these

but the university of michigan established the forerunner of the school that we're in today in 1914. so more than 100 years ago in the progressive era. and it was the first of its kind in the country and has really been a model ever since. as you know, gerald ford, captain of the michigan football team here in the 1930s, went on to raise a family of four with mrs. betty ford and has spent his life in principled public service in congress and eventually in the white house. when michigan named our public policy school for president ford in 1999 -- so nearly 20 years ago -- the pride flowed strongly in both directions between the university and the ford family. the family has visited here many times, and students and faculty have come to talk often about what we call the ford legacy; that is, leadership grounded in service, a commitment to hard work and getting the facts right and having the courage and wisdom as leaders to do what is right no matter what the personal cost. we're gathered here in one of our larger spaces for classes and events, the betty ford classroom, aptly named. kno

there's no shortage of stars in the universe. we can see stars being born, we see stars living out their lives, we see stars in the act of dying. and you can staple these bits of information together and create a coherent story. in other words, we don't live long enough to see a star born, live out its life and die. it takes millions, billions and sometimes in some cases trillions of years, and we're around for a few decades. how is it that we know this? because there's so many stars that in any snapshot of the universe we see stars being born, stars in middle age, stars dying. and we look to see, oh, these are the -- that's the same arc of a star. they're just different as far as, but we're catching it at different times. it wouldn't be any different from if you were an alien and took a snapshot of civilization, you would see some humans in a box underground. you'd say what are they doing there? you'd see other humans who were like little things crawling on the carpet. you'll see other humans who are, who don't have any hair that
