the most important of them is the continuity of intellec-tual culture, which means a continuing aptitude for study and reading and for taking in what is new. It likewise means an independent capac-ity for judgment and selection, and that the cultured person should have his own world and his personal thinking, so that he is not swept along by the current of public opinion, is not drawn into vulgarity, and is not led unconsciously to conform to his surroundings; rather, after the example of Descartes, he doubts what is around him and resists illusions and falsehoods."

I still remember a saying of Professor Bianchi at an annual celebration for those finishing at the university: People have agreed to call this celebration "Commencement" — that is, the beginning of life and of struggle. In my opinion this celebration means, for many of you, certain death and the end of struggle, the laying down of arms, the turning away from all moral, intellectual, or spiritual growth, submission to the influences of one's sur-roundings, and a return to the traditions of the ancestors and their ways of living, working, and thinking.

And if the young man is exposed to such a decline, the young woman is exposed to it still more, because the traditions that bind her to the past would confine her being to the biological functions, or what we call the vegetative life. It is no easy thing for a girl, after leaving school, to escape the reactionary influence with which family and society surround her, and to resist the temptation of the easy vegetative life built upon surrender and slackness.

But despite all this we want to be optimists, and to believe in the slow natural evolution that raises woman's mentality, her inclina-tions, and her aims, and shows her in a real and tangible way that the human life is better than the vegetative life — while know-

ing that new and unlooked-for circumstances may come which will compel woman to evolve swiftly, accomplishing in a brief moment what we accomplish in centuries: "And a thousand years in Thy sight, O Lord, are but as yesterday when it is past."
