DR.. Robert Levy's Address on
the Education Of Women

TO me has been assigned that phase OF
the subject under discussion, which deals
only with women. l have gladly ac-
cepted this assignment, not because it is

as matter of fact, it is that with which

much cf personal flavor.
Let us first consider what is meant
by higher education. This term has been
used anonymously with "liberal'' and
generous education. 1t may include
such broad and abstract views as were
laid down many years ago by Milton,
when he defined complete and gen
erous education, that which fits a man
to perform justly, skilfully and magnani-
mously all the Offices, both private and
public, of peace and war; 1t may in
clude such generalties as President .Jor-
dan proclaims when he states that
''higher education is not alone a ques-
ton of preparing great men for great
things, but preparing even little men for
greater things than they would other
wise have found possible" These defini-
tions place no limitations upon the ex-
tent to which an education may be car
ried, and therefore, to my mind mora
concrete understanding should be before
us this evening.

may be quoted of a man who, without
greatness, has attained greatness we may
well say, cit proves nothing, but the
fact, he was great despite the handicap
of lack Of higher education. There are
however, too many such instances for
us to lay down the narrow law that
higher education in itself is essential to
practical success, to greatness, to fame,
to wealth, to honor. Jean Paul

Higher Education does not mean an

it does not consist in an intimacy with
