more during the four years of war

ing. zone of the greatest results of
the war was the emancipation of wo-
man. From a secondary place in the
social scheme, woman has been ele-
waited to a place side by side with
man. This is a glorious period for
womanhood as compared with the
past.
"The greatest nation is one whose
women are the nearest equal to man
and on this test America stands su-
preme. The nation which gives the
greatest freedom to women, opening
to them all vocations and opportuni-
ties, breeds the most efficient type
of citizens. In this new era there
is no danger Of woman deteriorating
the God-given qualities which
make her the object of mans wor-
shin will remain. A nation reaches
the zenith of intellectual and spirit
nal power when all the limitations
are removed from womanhood.
Concluding his address, Senator
Golobie said, This is the golden age
of womanhood and I congratulate the
members of this graduating class
