tives. She said that II was selfish to
break a law. and one who is selfish
cannot be loyal. Since loyalty was
the theme OF her talk, she illustrated
the different kinds Of loyalty and the
benefits derived from being loyal. The

friends. gained clearer vision. greater
spirit and couarge. are still loyal to
the Women's College. and II is their

whether II is in the trivial task, or a
big drive.
