Afterword

I hope that you will be inspired by our plans to make education in Yale College even better, to give our arts schools and galleries facilities commensurate with the quality
of their programs, to catapult Yale to the highest level of excellence in the sciences, and to establish ourselves as a truly global university. To pursue these objectives, we need your support.

On many occasions, I have invoked the Talmudic epigraph of Rabbi Tarphon: “We cannot complete the work, but neither can we desist from it.” To strengthen our nation and to improve as best we can the human condition around the globe, I ask your help in carrying forward the work of the University.
