:03:00
Iris, wait for me.
:03:02
Just keep tight hold of me and it'll be all right.
:03:05
-You won't keep still.
-I can't keep still.
:03:08
I can't catch up with you.
:03:15
.
:03:33
-Iris, you've got bicycle oil on your ankle.
-I don't care, John.
:03:39
Those of you, our guests...
:03:41
... on whose magnificent generosity
we depend...
:03:43
...we really are most frightfully grateful...
:03:46
...will need no introduction to
one of our most distinguished graduates...
:03:51
... an honorary fellow, Dame Iris Murdoch.
:03:55
She's a noted philosopher as well as
author of some twenty-six novels.
:04:00
And we are honoured to have her with us today.
:04:03
As well as the distinguished
Warton Professor of Literature..
:04:07
...who has the great good fortune
of being married to her.
:04:11
I need say no more about her.
:04:13
For good wine needs no bush.
:04:16
But she will not mind comparison with...
:04:19
... say, a really fine vintage claret.
:04:25
... Dame Iris will speak to you
about the importance of education.
:04:42
Education doesn't make you happy.
And nor does freedom.
:04:48
We don't become happy
just because we're free -- if we are...
:04:53
... or because we've been educated, if we have.
:04:56
But because education may be the means...
:04:59
... by which we realise we are happy.
