The Great Emancipator

The Great Emancipator At the Education Week, December 4, 1921, recently cele- brated at the Brigham Young University, Provo, President Franklin S. Harris spoke on "Education the Emancipator," and said among other things: "The chief thing that makes us different from the savage with the breechcloth, is education. Education is the great emancipator— the great process by which man h raised from the degradation of ignorance and elevated to the high pinnacle of intelligence. Education is the thing for which we should all strive. I know of nothing of which I would feel more ashamed, when I go down into my grave, than to have it said of me, He was ignorant." I hope that throughout this week we shall place in our minds as the epitome of all that is bad, the word Igno- rance, and that we shall glorify in our minds Intelligence, which comes about through education."
