Man’s Greatest Work
In spite of the won<lerful pro
fusion in this confused and ex
citing world of ours, when re-
<’uce«l to its elem ents, there is
ju st one great thing in life, man.
And in spite of m an’s com plexity
there is one sim ple secret to his
greatness, his mind. And though
it may seem to you a devastating
task to choo.se from am ong all the
w’onderful things that man has
done, the one best evidence of
the grandeur of m an’s mind, the
choice to me is simple. For I
share with Carlyle tb? judgm ent
that surely the art of w riting is
the greatest among the miraculous
things tb? hum an mind has de
vised.
All the distinguished things
w hkh are discovered in the hu
mane tradition and all the com
forts which characterise modern
civilization, an«i all of the« in tri
cacies which are a part of modern
governm ent; and all of the beau
ties an«l terrors of m«xlcrn science
are children of the hum an mind.
But the mind of man is lo«lged in
a frail, ephem eral tabernacle. If
it wen? necessary for the fresh
minds by personal experience to
learn all that the race has known,
with no help from the past, no
substantial progress for civili
zation would be possible.
Not until some ingenious mind
grasped the possibility of storing
up the thoughts of men in w rit
ing and preserving it on the lea
ves of bound volumes was there
any way system atically to build,
step by step, generation upon
generation, and to make a living
and im m ortal social memory by
which each new generation could
profit from all that was signifi
cant that had transpired before.

But even the invention of w rit
ing was not enough.
When one says that man is the
only great thing, he must say all
men share in that greatness. And
when he < iscovers in the mind of
man the one real seret of his
greatness, he must recognise that
the mind is a characteristic of all
men, and not just some; and that
good minds are not the monopoly
of a limited class of people, hut
occur among all.
If, therefore, w riting is the
greatest trium ph of the hum an
mind, it may lx? taken for g ran t
ed that gifted minds among an
underprivileged class would even
tually discover its importance,
and the corollary value of the
ability to read. It was, therefore,
inevitable that good minds, w he
ther they i>e possessed of wealth
or not, would finally insist upon
the advantages of literacy, and
that tiie availability of printing
would ultim ately make general
literacy inevitable. Once w riting
was so highly valued, good minds
were certain to demand the op
portunity to read; and if men
with good minds
lacked the
wealth ne cssary to buy Ixioks,
some means by which they could
use them would of necessity lie
invented. Given printing, there
fore, libraries would follow' as
the night the day. And, Indeed, I
think it is true that the existence
of circulating libraries has lieen
the key to a widely dissem inated
knowledge. Widely dissem inated
knowledge and the easy access to
the world of Ideas is the distin
guished characteristic of th at
part of W estern Civilization
which is America.
