MSNBC host Rachel Maddow delivered the commencement address at Smith College in 2010, building her entire speech around a provocative distinction between fame and glory. She used the cautionary tale of Carry Nation — the temperance crusader who smashed saloons with a hatchet and helped bring about Prohibition — to illustrate how personal triumphs can be public disasters. Maddow argued that fame comes from achieving your personal goals regardless of their wider impact, while glory comes from doing things you'll be proud of for the rest of your life. Carry Nation achieved fame. But the Prohibition she helped enact increased alcoholism, created organized crime empires, and may have caused up to 10,000 deaths from government-poisoned industrial alcohol. Maddow's message was that the graduates should measure their ambitions not by whether they can achieve them, but by whether those achievements will make the world better.
