Sister Mary Consolata O'Connor, former president of St. Joseph College in Hartford has died. See the story in the Hartford Courant.  What caught my attention was a quote taken from her last commencement address in 1984.

"The challenge of all educated people is to discover what makes human life truly human, what this life is for and to accept the responsibility to make better the human condition in whatever form we find it."

I think this is the challenge for all people. The beginning of an individual's education is the moment he or she recognizes the challenge.
