This on-line newsletter has been created to help connect Revelle
Alumni to each other as well as the UCSD Alumni and UCSD Community
as a whole. It's fitting that as our premier issue coincides with
the 40th Anniversary that we will highlight news from the past 40
years of Students, Professors, Research, Founders, and the growth
of Revelle.
A brief philosophy from the Founder
In an address at Carnegie-Mellon University
in 1971, Revelle outlined the philosophy that epitomized his life:
- We must work to improve the quality of
the social environment created by human beings . . .
- We must stem the deterioration of our
natural environment by preserving its wonder, beauty, and diversity
. . .
- We must face the facts of world population
growth . . .
- We must re-inspire our universities .
. .
- We should work for the abolition of atomic
weapons . . .
- To create a new world, we must first create
within ourselves a higher concern for good, a stronger will for
right action, and a deeper sense of brotherhood . . . .
