Speech - Rickover Jr High School Naming

These short remarks were made by Admiral Rickover to the students and teachers of the Admiral H. G. Rickover Junior High School, Sauk Village, Illinois on March 3, 1978. During the speech, he focuses on the importance of education and the following key principles:


  1. Self-discipline - no easy shortcuts to learning

  2. Intellectual Responsibility - obligation to invest time, effort, and thought

  3. Perseverance - decide on a goal and commit to it

  4. Strive for Excellence

  5. Learn how to use your intellect


It is the students, not their teachers, who are responsible for their education.
