As the time for the next Lantern deadline approaches, we return to the editorial of the March issue. to the idea that wit the«coming of spring, the Lantern declares The-college has become pert intention of dying. Actually, it never does, because the Lantern— meaning’ simply the college literary publication—will not collapse until the campus wants nothing further to do with literary publica- tions. We do not believe that this is likely in the near ffiture. More- over, the present Lantern will not collapke) unless greater college sup- port is given to a rival publication, for the present editors are perma- nently and critically interested in writing. Ideally, we wish that any group with a clear idea of what the magazine should be would: organize and-produce-a_rival_next_year, but from the monetary angle, we doubt if the college and available adver- tisers could support two magazines. This ledds us, with some hesita- . tion, to propose that if. there are any potential rival editors, they should be given a chance to bid for next year’s Lantern. They could collect any writing, done in the past year, wMich they consider “Lan- tern material,” and have this material mimeographed apd circulated so that a vote could be taken by the college. — We propose this vote with hesitation because we do not wish to imply that the college as a whole can or should exercise any control over Lantern editorial policy. No magazine of any vitality will be produced unless its editors’ have a clearly defined idea of what the Magazine should be, and what kind of writing they wish to see” pub- ‘lished. .As a whole, the campus has no such defined policy. | Rather, we suggest the vote only, in the hope that it may lessen present incoherent attempts of the college to change the Lantern. The board now has a defined policy, aiid should not be expected to _ modify it against its own better judgment. But because two maga- Zines are financially impractical, and because there may be—a—clear alternative policy with energetic backers, we think a vote could be P . taken, though it should never be assumed that the elected board must ‘the future mold its particular selections only by reference to college likes and dislikes. The matter now hinges entirely on the ability of some, rival group to concretize a new Lantern before next fall, when the ae must be renewed. No vote can be taken on the present board versus the campus. n Philadelphia Movies Wuthering Heights.

Wide Cultural Outline Second Comprehensi e to Deal With Evolution of Style And Subject. a Students who choose to major in History of. Art are by no means con- fined to those. who have practiced it themselves in some form. Besides a kfiawledge of painting from early to modern times, the” major provides a- rounded picture of the related arts and, of the philosophy dnd religion behind them. Starting next year, every course in the department will be given annually, where previously alternates have been given, with the recommendation hence- forth that majoring students take the whole series. This, with the required course in first*year Classical Archae- glogy, will present’ the whole sweep of the history of art. The major’s principal value. to the undergraduate lies in its treatment of art as a whole phase of man’s sociological ard hu- manistic development. : Next year, Mr. Alexander Coburn Soper, III, M. F. A. of Princeton, will join the department to teach Ori- ental Art.“ An hour’s lecture each week for the art majors will also be added to first year . Archaeology. These lectures will be given ‘by Mr. Sloane and Mr. Muller, in’ ancient architecture, to supplement the study of ancient painting and_ sculpture Changes will also take place in the comprehensive requirement. The first examination will be general as _be- fore. The second will consider style and: the evolution of cultural rela- tions by an approach through periods. There will be a single examination on a specialized period, with as wide a choice of subjects as was formerly given in the two’ period comprehen- sives. Honors work. remains un- changed. The student does special work with a professor in oriental, mediaeval, “renaissance, or —modern art. a Three years of history of art de- velop and require a powerful visual memory., The student must learn to know a monument by name after see- ing it once in a slide and thereafter on ‘the wall of the Library gallery. She must acquire such a feeling for style that she can distinguish -the school and probable artist of an un- known work of art. From this broad knowledge of the plastic arts comes an added insight into parallel devel- opments in music and literature and often philosophy.

There is a plurality of logics, Dr. Adler said, which differ formally because they differ materially, but there exists simultaneously ‘one purely formal logic which includes all of these, but which is in itself inexpressible, since to express it one would be forced to use symbols. The art of logic is not independent ‘of the arts of rhetoric and. grammar because.no pure thought exists. There ‘are three distinct types of logics known today: mathematical logic, Dewey’s system, based on. mod- ern science, and Aristotle’s logic which supports his physics. These may be reduced to two fundamental logics, relational and predicational, Predicational logic-differentiates be- tween subject and predicate and em- phasizes qualitative diversity. It has few general rules, but those of infer- ence. Relational logic is based on terms “of relational complexity and does not distinguish between subject and predicate. This is the logic of It postulates linear transitivity and embraces the empirical sciences. “The plurafity of logics is a phil- osophical problem especially appro- priate for our generation,” said Dr. Adler. Not until the beginning of this -century were philosophers seri- ously concerned with a variety of logics. Then Professor C. I. Lewis, of Harvard University, announced a system of multiple logics. Today Dr. Adler believes symbolic logic is only one system in.a plurality of logics. Differentiations of sym- trinsic. By examining previous logi- cal systems Dr. Adler maintains ‘it is possible to prove that since these sys- tems have all been incomplete in cer- ‘ultimate logic is undefinable. ._ To support , this theory one may study the*defects of the Aristotelian logic which is unable to account for mathematics, metaphysics, and histo- rical inferences. Non-Aristotelian logic is deficient in that although it is successful in dealing with modern sciences and mathematics, it fails in respect to philosophic ‘knowledge, theology and history. “Logic is not merely a body of knowledge like ‘the Jother sciences; rather it treats these sciences as they in turn treat material objects. Logic, moreover, includes both science. and art which are different from methodology in that it is not a means knowledge already -known.—-~- Poet of America Chants and Yarns Continued from Page One (2b OU a ea Sa Pennel_ Crosby, ’41 nary means-as ees they are not WOE hs evel vGteu John Hadley he Maiden Lady ...Julia Follansbee, ’41 { ee Stout Aimiable Lady ; Broken eggs can never ‘be mended: Mabel Richardson, 42 they go in a barrel by themselves.
