“The conquest of the physical world is not man’s only duty.”

Leave a comment

“There are, forever, swamps to be drained, cities to be created, mines to be exploited, children to be fed. None of these things can be done alone.

“But the conquest of the physical world is not man’s only duty. He is also enjoined to conquer the great wilderness of himself. The precise role of the artist, then, is to illuminate that darkness, blaze roads through that vast forest, so that we will not, in all our doing, lose sight of its purpose, which is, after all, to make the world a more human dwelling place.”

— from James Baldwin’s “The Creative Process,” 1962

Photo collage from the “Bulletin of the Normal School for Women, Fredericksburg, Virginia, April, 1920”

“The Normal School for Women” later became Mary Washington College.  There is a pernicious rumor going around that it was subsequently named “The University of Mary Washington,” but we all know that couldn’t be right.

Anyway, you can view and enlarge this image here at Wikimedia Commons.
