MENTAL FREEDOM
FATE IN THE BALANCE. [ British Official Witelent. 1 RUGBY, May 12. In his charge to graduates after the presentation of students of London for University degrees, the vice-chan-cellor, Sir Robert Pickard, commended to them the advice of a French philosopher to act as men of thought and to thing as men of action. Continuing, he said, "We are at 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 mental freedom. Without it humanity and civilisation will perish.”
