(a) Acceptance Speech of Lord Perry Award for Excellence in Distance Education <http://www.friends-partners.org/GLOSAS/Perry-Award/Page/Perry1A.htm>

Dear Belen:

(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I below).

I am very glad to know that you enjoyed reading my acceptance speech when I received the prestigious Lord Perry Award for the Excellence on Distance Learning from Lord Perry himself in the fall of 1994 (Reference (a) above) — incidentally, the two year senior of the same award is the Late Arthur C. Clarke, the inventor of satellite communication, and the world renowned science fiction writer with “Space Odyssey.”

(2) On the matter of “Elected officials and their staffs are not masters of the people; they are servants,” the following diagram was from the same New York Times article you quote — with some additional words on it by myself;

Figure 1: Private vs Public Service<http://www.friends-partners.org/GLOSAS/Global_University/Global%20University

NOTE TO FIGURE 1:The Challenge seemed impossible.  The performance was superhuman.(The New York Times, April 17, 2005)

On the day of his first inauguration, March 4th 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt lifted America onto his shoulders, and never set it down again.He carried it through 4 consecutive presidential elections, for over 12 years.He carried it through a Great Depression that laid America low.He carried it in a World War against both Germany and Japan.He carried this crushing burden with such great flair, that most Americans were unaware that an earlier battle with polio left him unable to walk.To call his performance superhuman is not unreasonable.

I think that Chinese and Japanese feudalistic societies would never be transformed to the democratic one on right hand side in Figure 1 because of their basic culture with Confucianism, which is a stark contrast with Judeo-Christianity.

(3) On the matter of “Logo of GLOSAS/USA,”

NOTE TO FIGURE 2:(a) The outer circle, total of conventional satellite and space station library systems, is in deep blue of open sky, signifying intelligence and rationality.

(b) The inner circle, globe and earth, is in light green, like the color of sprouting flora, signifying the source of oxygen -- without which no fauna can live. It also signifies the creativity of youngsters -- which is the driving force for betterment of human

life. As we must protect flora in our environment, we must foster and cherish the creativity of youngsters.

(c) The vertical pyramid, conventional (analog) satellite system, is in scarlet, like the color of blood -- without which no living creature have life. It also signifies passion and feeling -- without which human life will not have beautiful poem, literature, painting, music, etc., and will be very dry society.

(d) The inverse pyramid, our advocating space station library system, is in royal purple which was used only by dynasty in ancient China. Our human's destiny must be royal and aristocratic, in a sense that it will give more than take.

Vertical pyramid can be a symbol of conventional, feudalistic, militaristic, command and control hierarchy.  Inverse pyramid is for the space station library system we advocate.  Star of David is the symbol of Judeo-Christianity and Western culture based on justice, equality, and liberty.

The circles are the globe and the geosynchronous orbit.  The circle is a symbol of Buddhism and Oriental culture, which are holistic and compassion.

The logo therefore represents space-age high technology and intercultural philosophy and moral principle.

Best, Tak

Dear Tak,

(1)   Many thanks for your email. Glad to see you and Paco again too.

(2)   Many thanks for sharing your ‘acceptance speech’. If I may, some key sentences in my opinion:

·         from the article are [The New York Times, 1987]; (…) [on the other hand,] The cardinal rule in our society holds that the government derives its legitimacy from the consent of the governed. (...) Elected officials and their staffs are not masters of the people; they are servants. (...) Above all, secrecy, disinformation and autocratic rule have no place in the functioning of a representative democracy.·         Global University is an educational SERVICE organization, fostering creativity of and global citizenship among youngsters to work together harmoniously for global problems.·         We all know that technological advances have made global communication an everyday fact of life: but the lives of so many millions of people, particularly in disadvantaged countries, are still untouched by the great educational possibilities that have already been opened up for relatively few [De Blasi, 1990]. We are at the threshold of a new age in education and communication but the use of the new tools is so far reserved mainly for the privileged few and is scarcely discussed as a matter of public policy. The emerging Global University (GU) attempts to provide cooperative, experiential learning opportunities on the widest possible scale and for the purpose of fostering peace and sustainable development [Ljutic and Utsumi, 1991]. Best, Belen
