THOUGHT & ACTION
DEFENCE OF MENTAL FREEDOM. VITAL TO THE FUTURE OF CIVILISATION? (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, May 11. In his charge to graduates after the presentation of students of London for University degrees, the vice-chancel-lor, Sir Robert Picard, commended to them the advice of a French philosopher to act as men of thought and to think as men of action. Continuing, he said: “We are in a stage in the history of European civilisation when the fate of mental freedom is in the balance, and, if there is one thing that universities and their graduates should strive for, it is men-,; tai freedom. Without it humanity and civilisation will perish.”
