: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.
:05:02
It opens our eyes, our ears.
:05:05
Tells us where delights are lurking.
:05:08
Convinces us that there is only one freedom...
:05:11
... of any importance whatsoever.
:05:14
That of the mind.
:05:16
And gives us the assurance,the confidence...
:05:19
...to walk the path our mind,
our educated mind offers.
:05:27
I shall tell him all my love.
:05:31
All my soul's adoration.
:05:35
And I think he will hear me.
:05:39
And will not say me nay.
:05:43
It is this that gives my soul.
:05:48
All it's joyous elation.
:05:53
As I hear the sweet larks sing.
:05:57
In the clear air of the day.
