These young people now stand on the threshold of their careers. They have achieved their intellectual freedom, and look forward to industrial freedom and attendant self-respect. They need sympathy, but not of the maudlin sort. Help they must have, but not of the pension order! The greatest kindness that can come to them now is not the gift of money, real or disguised, but the presentation of an opportunity honestly to earn a living by the trade or profession acquired here.
