The wonderful Helen Keller hns
graduated from ItadclllTe College, Cam
bridge, with the degree of bachelor of
arts. It was recently stated that she
was on the verge of nervous prostra
tion, due according to one account to
excessive mental application and ac
cording to another to failure to pass
the final examinations. From the fact
that she not only received the degree,
but also the distinction "cum lauile"
and that she was present during the
graduation exercises apparently In ex
cellent henlth and spirits it may fairly
bo inferred that she not only passed
the examinations, but stood higher
than most of her classmates I'rob-
ably she labored under nervous excite
ment while undergoing her examina
tions, due to extraordinary mental ef
fort and anxiety, and nervous (jollnpse
may have been feared by her friends.
There will bo general find sincere re
joicing now that the fears are known
to have been groundless. The case of
tills young woman Is vlthout a paral-.
lei In the history of mental achieve
ment. The story of her triumph over
dllllcultles seemingly Insurmountable
Is almost incredible. Without sight!
and without hearing from the ago o al
ear and a half she yet gained such a
knowledge of the external world as to
suggest the existence of a Intent and
unknown sense or senses almost
univalent to both sight and hearing.
How without the aid of these senses
she could come to understand and ap
preciate literature dependent for most
of Its beauty upon their exercise Is nU
most beyond comprehension. Yet her
own writings auoni anunuani prooi
of her understanding and apprecia
tion, and her success in acquiring lan
guages and in mustering the studies of
college course afford still further
proof to those who realize how far
the comprehension of such things
seems to depend upon the possession
of the senses which she does not pos
sess. Only those who have had to do
with the blind aim the. deaf can real
ize the enormous dllllcultles which tills
young woman, who Is both, has had
to overcome in gaining the knowledge
which entitles her to her bachelor's
degree. Very admirable are the In
sight, the skill and the unwearying pa
tience of Miss Sullivan. .Miss Keller's
devoted and inseparable companion,
friend and teacher, but more wonder
ful Is the triumph of the young wom
an who can neither see nor hear, even
though achieved with the help of one
