I never teach at 2:00 PM because it's my nap time,

If I were sitting where you are, I would be thinking,

I want to come to Harvard and study physics.

But you can't all study physics because we

So some of you are going to have to study the arts and humanities.

And the arts and humanities aren't as funny as physics.

Things are very funny when they're cosmically scaled,

But we sit there at the scale of Samuel Beckett,

So if at any point, I get too serious, just

think of one of the hundreds of funny things that Melissa said,

One of the reasons we're not funny is we have notes.

We use notes which are not funny, but they're very, very precious.

So today, I am not going to be offering you any answers to important questions.

In fact, I'm just going to pose a few questions.

Harvard is a great university, in my view,

not because it has all the answers, but because the people here

ask important questions, and they work together on coming up with answers.

And the questions I'm going to pose today

I mean the museum, the library, the concert hall, the theater,

the movie theater, the dance center, the public park.

I mean those spaces in which we gather to experience culture.

These spaces are incredibly important in our civic life.

In fact, our governments-- whether local or national--

situate these spaces in the center of our civic geography.

They do that because we are anchored as a people by our culture.

The most well-known and celebrated of our cultural spaces in America--

spaces such as Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Museum, the New York

I thought of Disney Hall because of Walt Disney,

but I'm not going to make any jokes about Disney Hall--

the Smithsonian, these spaces are touchstones of national identity.

But our local movie theater, our town public library

are no less central to civic life on a smaller scale.

These places where we gather and we attend to

and honor human creativity, human efforts

to find meaning, beauty, empathy, and understanding

Now, I'm showing you an example of a cultural space that's important to me.

Marshall University High School has a kind of elite ring to it.

except the University of Minnesota, which was nearby--

related to my high school, which was distinctly public.

But I was very, very fortunate in having parents

who took advantage of the cultural riches of Minneapolis and St. Paul,

which are extensive, which is a very fortunate thing.

And in particular, my parents loved to take me to the theater.

And the theater in Minneapolis, from the flagship Guthrie Theater--

are there any people here from Minnesota?

The theater in Minneapolis, from the flagship

Guthrie Theater, to smaller theaters, such as the Mixed Blood

Theater in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood,

near where I grew up, the Penumbra Theater in St. Paul, really fantastic.

So this is where this issue of cultural space

But today, cultural spaces are under considerable challenge and strain.

And one reason is probably obvious to you,

which is the rise of digital networks and electronic devices.

Those in charge of our libraries are wondering,
