| After Seventy | |
| Read by Olive Higgins Prouty at her fiftieth reunion at Smith College. | |
| PAMPER THE BODY | |
| PROD THE SOUL | |
| ACCEPT LIMITATIONS | |
| BUT PLAY A ROLE | |
| WITHDRAW FROM THE FRONT | |
| BUT STAY IN THE FIGHT | |
| AVOID ISOLATION | |
| KEEP IN SIGHT | |
| BEWARE OF REMINISCING | |
| (EXCEPT TO A CHILD) | |
| TO FORGETTING PROPER NAMES | |
| BE RECONCILED. | |
| DESPISE NOT SOLITUDE | |
| LET NO ONE CONDONE | |
| CULTIVATE INTERESTS | |
| ENJOYED ALONE. | |
| REFRAIN FROM LOQUACITY | |
| BE CRISP AND CONCISE | |
| AND REGARD SELF PITY | |
| AS A CARDINAL VICE. |
