Abstract
AT the annual reunion on June 30 of the University of Edinburgh Graduates Association, held in the Womens Union, Sir Josiah Stamp referred to the alumni associations in America as constituting one of the strongest sides of American university life, and said that he hoped the graduates of Edinburgh would similarly endeavour to make the University a real and active part in themselves, letting its influence remain with them and helping it in every way they could. Speaking more particularly to the women graduates, he reflected upon the gravity of the times in which we live and the tremendous importance and value of the collective mental training represented by the graduates who had just been capped mobilised and conserved for the future. While it may be said that the careers of many of these women will be cut short and some people may say all they have done at the University would so be wasted, he considers that a wrong view. Why should not man and wife act together in the great task of thinking out the worlds problems, thus making for a higher standard of civic and individual judgment than we have to-day?
