September 21, 1989 - Highlights of Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel at DePauw University

"A university is by definition a moral society, sometimes even a moralizing society," Elie Wiesel told an audience at DePauw University. The renowned novelist, philosopher, and Holocaust survivor presented the Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture, "Building a Moral Society."

Wiesel, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, noted, "There is something very mysterious going on in the teacher-student relationship, something very beautiful. It is so deep and so complex, and at times so rewarding or so annoying that there is nothing that it can be compared to, not even father-son relationships, although a father is supposed to be a teacher to his son."
