September 11, 1987 - Allan Bloom Ubben Lecture at DePauw University (Complete/Audio)

"This is the moment in your lives," Allan Bloom, philosopher and author of 'Closing of the American Mind: How Higher Education Has Failed Democracy and Impoverished the Souls of Today's Students', told undergraduates at DePauw University. "You have four years of freedom to discover yourselves: the space between what is most likely the intellectual wasteland most of us leave behind and the inevitable dreary professional training that awaits you after the baccalaureate."
