120 A Baccalaureate Discourse

It would not be safe to leave to political men alone the
care of explaining and defending our national status. Too
many strange influences blow in political spheres. These all-
important questions must be studied and defined in the serene
atmosphere of our universities which will thus become the
strongholds of our national aspirations.

political, economic, and educational life appearing on the
program of our School of Social Science, are well protected

attracted by journalism as a career or those whose ambition
urges them to the mayoralty or deputation, should matricu-
late in our School. It is recognized that excellent laws, re-
cently voted, have been inspired and even drafted by our
professors.

dental surgery, engineering, commerce, and natural sciences.
All these branches of learning are necessary to our growing
youth and are taught nowhere else, in their mother-tongue,
except in France. We were compelled to organize such
schools and we do not regret having done so.

But it is obvious today that universities must specialize,
