PRESIDENT JAMES MADISON WOOD HIS MESSAGE o The new prominence of women in social, political, economic, and religious affairs is the most important fact that confronts the World today. Traditional ac- tivities have ceasedg traditional training no longer suffices. Rather than upon the intellect, education for women must rest upon much more fundamental elements in her nature-the emotions of sympathy and service which lie back of her greatest contribution to humanity and civilization. It is only as education passes over from the dominance of the intellect into the realm of the fundamental emotions that it can truly function in the life of woman. The ultimate in education is not thought but action, not the search for Truth but the application of Truth to human life and human conduct.
