Noble speech

For the hundreds of students who had eagerly assembled at the St. Joseph's College to hear to an international personality, it was a rewarding experience indeed.

Canada-based James Nicholas, Nobel Peace Prize nominee, who was invited to deliver a lecture on `Economics and Psychology' to mark the inauguration of the Economics Association at the College, did leave behind a positive impact.

Dr. James Nicholas, during his hour-long presentation, used `down to earth' words to drive home profound thoughts ranging from world affairs to personality development, holding the student audience in rapt attention all the while.

The students, in fact, returned learning in no small measure what humility is all about.

From R. Krishnamoorthy in Tiruchi
