Cannas at Bryn Mawr College |
Now that we have given one guinea
towards rebuilding a college we must consider whether there is not more that we
can do to help you to prevent war. And it is at once obvious, if what we have
said about influence is true, that we must turn to the professions, because if
we could persuade those who can earn their livings, and thus actually hold in
their hands this new weapon, our only weapon, the weapon of independent opinion
based upon independent income, to use that weapon against war, we should do
more to help you than by appealing to those who must teach the young to earn
their livings; or by lingering, however long, round the forbidden places and
sacred gates of the universities where they are thus taught.
