The Campaign for the UNIVERSITY of NORTH CAROLINA at CHAPEL HILL

"To whom much is given, of him much is expected. I have been given much: an inquiring mind, a sense of ethics, a lifelong search for religion and truth (defined as knowledge in agreement with reality), good health, more than my share of earth's physical treasures, a reasonable balance in seeing relationships, and finally the blessing of a nagging inner voice to preach, even demand, in strident tones and at the most inopportune times, duty, that draconian self-law which binds one to his principles."

-excerpt from Jack Lynch's will
