of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
In the last term I taught, I was asked by students to participate in a Last Lecture
series, that is, to give the lecture I would give if I knew that it would be
my last lecture. I was unable to participate for health reasons. I shall now try
to write what I would want to say in a last lecture. I do this for the discipline
it imposes in making me focus on what I count the most important things I
have to say to students and others at the beginning of the twenty-first century
and the end of my career.
