Walter B. Wriston '41

On the "Wriston Revolution"

 

People give me too much credit. I clearly had a fine group up here, and they created an atmosphere, a frame of mind, a way of looking at things that was not entirely traditional. But nobody can answer the question of how revolutions start. You're driven by technology, driven by value systems, driven by the media, by the tides of history. Some people are catalytic agents, some get credit for being catalytic agents when they're really just riding a surfboard on a wave coming in.
