Bible Not to be Taken Literally says Dr.
Greene in First Lecture

“The Bible was never meant to be
scientific. Modern historical criticism
considers the Bible an ancient literature
written for an ancient people, not to be
taken word for word by the modern
world,” said Dr. Theodore A. Greene
associate pastor of Brick Presbyterian
church, New York. Dr. Greene gave the
first of his series of lectures on “The
Challenge of Christ in the Year 1920’
last Wednesday evening.

In speaking! of the “Changes of
Thought That Have Put Early Methods
of Bible Usage out of Date”, Dr. Greene
insisted that “the principle interest of
the writers of the Bible was religion.
That is why the story of Genesis is in-
finitely better than any other legendary
tale of the world’s beginning. The whole
story is on a splendid ethical basis, with
a deep religious spirit prevailing.”

This week Dr. Greene’s subject is “The
Bible Message about God and Man”,
tracing through the Old and the New
Testaments the idea about God and man.

SOPHOMORE-FRESHMAN. SNOWFIGHT |
‘May-Day Committees have been elec-

DREW BLOOD ON BOTH SIDES

The gory snowball battle that took
place between the Sophomores and
Freshmen last Saturday afternoon on
Merion green, resulted in no decisive
victory for either ‘side. A_ slight ad.
vantage went to 1922, who, under the
furious onslaughts of E. Anderson, F.
Bliss, A. Nicoll and R. Neel, threatened
the Freshman flag again and again. The
Sophomore flag, guarded by E. Dona-
hue and M. Crosby, fluttered defiantly
from the top of the fort throughout the
entire conflict, in spite of the valiant ef-
forts of A. Smith and E. Vincent, who
were leading 1923.

The crucial moment of the fight was
when 1923’s flag was snatched from the
battlements by R. Neel, and carried half-
way across to the Sophomore fort, in
the midst of a biting, scratching mass of
warriors. The combatants rolled on the
ground, pommelling one another cruelly
until the whistle blew and the mob dis-
integrated, leaving the Sophomores with
the wrong end of the broken hockey
stick to which the Freshman flag was
fastened.

Cocoa and sandwiches were served by
1923 to the Sophomores (in Merion
Hall) after the battle.

Vocational Conference in March

The date for the Vocational Confer-
ence has been settled for Friday, March
12, afternoon and evening. Any sugges-
tions as to speakers or topics of discus-
sion should be dropped in the box out-
side the Dean’s Office. Class commit-
tees are being organized to help in ar-
ranging this conference.

 

RABBI OF ISRAEL HEBREW CONGRE-
GATION HERE SUNDAY

Dr. Joseph Krauskopf, Rabbi of Ken-
eseth Israel Hebrew Congregation, Phil-
adelphia, is the speaker for the next Sun-
day evening service. His talk, “Thus
saith the Lord” will be a _ characteri-
zation of the old Testament prophets,
with reference to the sort of men needed
in the world today.

Dr. Krauskopf’s comparison of Card-
inal Mercier defying the Germans to the
“prophets of Israel” and the “martyr
saint of the church,” in an address last
September has the germ of the idea
around which his address here will be
centered.

Art of Etching Illustrated in Loan
Exhibition in Library.

 

Whistler and Pennell Represented.

brary has been turned into an exhibition
gallery for loan collections of etchings.

offered access to his collection of etch-
ings to the art department of the college,
which will arrange the exhibitions in four
series, and change the pictures every ten
days.

The first series opened last
and will last through Saturday.

Thursday

an early Whistler,—‘‘Adam and Eve Tav-
ern in Old Chelsea,” “Sunset Over Wat-
erloo,” by Joseph Pennell, “Views of

Portsmouth,” by Childe Hassam,' and a
distinctive dry-point by Frank Benson.
