Thank you for inviting me. It's a great honor to be here. I know that every speaker says that, as a matter of course — but, in this case, it couldn't be more true. There are few people I admire more than conservatives on campus. Really, they're some of the best and bravest people I know. The smartest, the toughest, the most spiritually resilient. Sometimes in life, I have simply marveled at the existence and grit of conservatives on campus.

The rest of the piece.

After reading so much about what is wrong with universities today -- political correctness, speech codes, academic loyalty oaths -- it was refreshing to be reminded of a time when even leftist professors were professors.

That is what attracted me to the vocation.
