大学英语演讲稿：The Great Society

　　 It is a great pleasure to be here today. This university has been

coeducational since 2021, but I do not believe it was on the basis of

your accomplishments that a Detroit high school girl said , "In choosing

a college, you first have to decide whether you want a coeducational

school or an educational school." Well, we can find both here at

and restlessness. It is a place where the city of man serves not only the
