Bunche was valedictorian of UCLA’s Class of 1927, received his master’s degree in Political science from Harvard in 1928.

1926 - Perhaps Bunche's best-known quote is taken from "That Man May Dwell in Peace," a speech from a college debate in 1926 at UCLA. "What vast, undreamed of achievement might await man would he but devote his entire interest to promoting the commonwealth of a universal human brotherhood."
