"Perhaps the greatest danger of the emancipation of youth—or the impatience of the adults which seems to accompany it—is to seek answers to the complexities of our times in some deed of magic, some puff of smoke.
"Young people today can help make the necessary changes, but changes do not come overnight. It will come if you join in a fair and orderly protest offering responsible and legitimate suggestions for improvement," Docking said.

The governor said today's established institutions are being challenged for their treatment of the individual and their effectiveness. He said religious beliefs are being questioned for their value to modern life.
"This is a coalition. We've heard from people from both sides. We have a dialogue. We're a unit now.
