What is the Destination?

In this reprint of Felix R. McKnight's speech at the Presidents' Banquet, the Co-Publisher and Editor of the Dallas Times Herald takes a hard look at the attitudes of the 1970s. McKnight discusses his concern that college campuses are being dominated "moral delinquency no longer restrained by religious or ethical faith." He looks to organizations like Kappa to perfect the social mechanisms of a college campus and enforce moral order. "The university should always be a place where orderly evolution is possible," he admits, "but it certainly need not be a playground for adolescent revolutionists whose ideas of higher education consist of disruption and riding roughshod over the majority."
