It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts. . . it is to teach them to think.

Our accent will be upon youth: we need new ideas, new methods, new approaches. We will call upon young students of political science throughout the nation to help us.

We don't win what we don't fight for.
