DR. GILKEY CONTRASTS
_ MODERN RELIGIOUS VIEWS
Amherst Professor Explains How’
~Historical Study Modifies Old
_® Conservative Beliefs
INSISTS ON COMMON
ema
“Contrasting presuppositions about Jesus.
today and the two ideas of His life which’
follow logically upon these suppositions,”
was the subject of the first of two lectures}
given last Thursday and Friday evenings by
Dr. James Gordon Gilkey, under the aus-
pices of the Christian Association.
The conservatives believe that Jésus Christ }
is the second Person of the Trinity, perfect |
God and perfect man who at a ‘particular ‘
time in history was sent’ down from heaven.
to fedeem us from our sins. © They’ believe
that He’ was essentially miraculous - and ‘
supernatural, that He manifested his’ divine;
power in the resurrection and the ascension |
afid. that He was entirely different in every |
way from us,
The liberals, on the other hand, do hot
believe that Jesus was a being who came,
ee
down from heaven, but rather that He was:
‘One Who attained to the heavenly height,’
“Not‘a God who lived sscvaieinis but a Man‘
-who lived divinely,” ;
While as the conservatives feel that it:
‘was perfectly natural for Christ to perform.
miracles, the liberals explain the miracles, in:
two: ways. The curing of physical or ner-,
vous diseases was done” by therapeutic
The: nature miracles of the loaves:
-and the. fishes .are legends which grew about’
Jesus in the period. after his death, ;
Conservatives believe that Jesus’ death
was a foreordained event planned to redeem
mankind, . Liberals, on the other hand, feel
that—it-wasan-inexpressibly tragic incident
-brought. about by the conflict between a
young. prophet and the inexorable Jewish
‘orthodoxy.
‘. ‘While the conservatives explain the Resur-
rection as the exercise of the miraculous.
-power which, he had: always, the liberals
feel that, just as the personality of all of us
will survive death, so the. personality of
Jesus, suryived. What happened to His
-body they do not care; what was the par-
ticular series of incidents which convinced
His disciples that they had seen Him, they
don’t know.
Sometimes the liberal idea has been ac-
cused of: picturing Jesus as merely a human
being. This is, misinterpretation. Liberals
feel that God is always trying to give all He
can to everybody. But ‘individuals differ in
receptivity. Jesus had a personality of unique
receptivity into which God could put morak
ideas and conceptions of life finer than those
of. any other individual, How Jesus of alf
mankind came to receive such receptivity is
the ultimate problem, The mystery of Jesus’
ange, personality can never be solved.
_ Jesus’ Principles
»Modernists feel that Jesus did not save us
‘drom our sins but that he brought into. the
world a brand new way of, living built .on
three brand new ideas:
1, ‘That God is like man, only bigger; —
2. That man i is lik. God; only smaller;

A ‘service was held in Taylor Hall last
Thursday afternoon in commemoration of
Roger Frederick Brunel, Professor of Or-
ganic Chemistry at Bryn Mawr, who died:
here December 23, 1924.
Dr. Norris, old friend and colleague of
Dr. Brunel, was the chief speaker,
“Brunel,” he said, “has~a very worthy

with the fundamental properties of mole-

new substances, as did most organic
chemists; he rather sought to understand
how molecules. redtt, and to study chemical

international fame, who has written of Dr.

mentality and unusual skill in experiment.
He had already made himself known as one

could have gone much farther had he lived.’
“This work with Michaels was of great

| YALE’S VIEW OF TOTAL ECLIPSE
IS DESCRIBED BY DR. BARNES
Scientific — Results to Depend - on
Measurement From Plates
Mr. Barnes spoke im chapel last Friday
morning on the eclipse which hé viewed
from the top of the Sloane physical labora-
tory in New Haven... Until the photographic
plates are measured, nothing definite with
regard to scientific results of the eclipse
will be known.
He explained that the shadow fell quickly
due to its small angle of incidence with the
earth. Astronoriers had expected greater
darkness; Dr. Page, who was observing
with Dr. Barnes, was able to read without
additional light. —
“Two things especially interested me,” said
Dr. Barnes,» “the flash .spectrum of the
chromosphere and the green line in the spec-
trum of the corona, the variations of which
“
The color around the sun was deep blue.
A few stars of the first and second magni-
tude and the three planets, Jupiter, Mercury’
and Venus, were clearly: discernible.
In concluding, Dr. Barnes noted.that in
spite of the proclamation ofthe eclipse,
issued by the State of Connecticut, contrast-
ing the fear of the Ancients and savages
with the enlightenment of Americans, there
was an unwonted atmosphere of friendliness
and hélpfulness among the observers. People
were. also impressed, by the aceurate calcu-
lations of the astronomers. Considering the
tremendous velocity, the size and the various
movetrients of the stin, the moon and the
earth, this. was indeed.a feat of mathematics.
CONFERENCE ON SOCIAL WORK
TO BE HELD IN PHILADELPHIA
Discussion to Treat of Child Welfare
in Various Aspects
The Third All-Philadelphia Conference on
Social Work will be held March 3, 4 and 5
in the Social Service Building, 311 South
Juniper street. ba
The subject for discussion this year will
be “Every-Child”—How He Fares in Phila-
delphia. Virtually every social organization
in the city, all the universities, colleges,
schools, the churches, as well as civic bodies,
will participate in the hope of-arriving at
tangible ‘results regarding the care of chil-
dren in Philadelphia. The Conference will
-|discuss educatiqn, recreatiori, employment,
mental and physical health, housing and the
problems of dependency and delinquency as
they affect the child, fhis parents and com-
4 munity.
The Conference last year enrolled 297: or-
ganizations and 975 individuals. These’
numbers will be exceeded this year.

AUDITORIUM IS VITAL NEED
The Alumnae Association have under-
taken the completion of the fund for the
endowment of the Music Departmett and
the. Auditorium-of the Students’ Building
This was the decision reached in the an-
nual meeting of the association last Satur-
day morning. “Mrs. Louis’ Slade (Caroline
McCormick, ’97) was unanimously elected
national chaiffman of. the drive.
ffs. Slade sends this message to The
Alumnae:
Alumnae, Gradtiate Students, Former Grad-
uates and Undergraduates :
Here we are again:
The Alumnae Association has decreed that
we must immediately march ahead to coni-
plete the fund of $400,000. Once more we
are in campaign, and it is as though the
calendar were turned back to 1920' and we
find ourselves stepping into the same old
harness. It is a complete surprise to me to
the national chair-
man, and from my heart I thank the Alum-
nae Association for asking me to. take that
place because I know it means that .every
one of you is preparing to take up her al-
lotted task.
How is it'to be done?
I do not know, but I know that you will
do it.
When-ts.it-to be-done?
Now, and Commencement is the day when
we must celebrate success.
Why is it to be done?
Because the Department of Music—that
“window open to the sun,” as President
Clark called it—is now an essential part of
the college. For four years it has been given
to us by Alice Carter Dickerman and her
committee, who, through their valiant, un- —
flagging efforts, have asured its support year :
by ‘year, and have laid the foundation on
which the Department will be permanently
built. The time has now come for the
Alumnae as a whole to assume responsibility
and to assure to the College the continuation
of the Department—in short, to completetthe
Endowment.
Because for tthe Auditorium the present
Pennsylvania fire laws have reduced’ the
number of seats in Taylor Hall from over
400 to 300 and in the gymnasium from 1000
to 550. And with 500 in our student body
we can never again invite an outside audience

ligious services, for "Commencement, until we

THE MUSSOLINI OF FASHION
Though Paris may dictate to women,
Washington, D. C., holds a firm sway over
men in the matter of fashions in apparel—
or so it would seem. Several weeks ago,
on the occasion of a visit from three Prince-
ton youths, President Coolidge voiced a de-
cided dislike for loose, baggy trousers. “He|
is furthermore® said to have presented his
son with suspenders for a like offense. In
itself this evidence concerning the dictator-
ship of Washington in the realm of fashion
is unconvincing, but coupled, as it is, by
the acknowledgment of a Senator, there now
can be no room for doubt or suspicion. In
answer to an unkind criticism of his “dressy”
apparel. this worthy gentleman from Texas
defended himself by saying that his dress
suit was 16 years old and that before its
eight hard years of service in the Capital it
had seen eight harder years back in Texas
_attending firemen’s sociables, «
Only one thing remains to be done:
Washington must herself announce her new
power. Senators might find a diverting oc-
cupation in discussing “What the Men Will
Wear.” Of course this will hurt the theatre
program industry, but other fairy tales or
various puzzles might be successfully substi-
tuted. --Such-a~Senatorial- discussion, more-
over, will serve as an unparalleled means
for shelving fussy European disputes in-
definitely.
A REMARK ON MARKS.
Opening a can of tomato seup, or a tin
of Whitman’s Cocoa, is equivalent in fresh-
ness and originality to opening this subject
in this place.
Mid-years are all over and we have been
relieved, despondént or excited accordingly,
after due inspection of the Taylor Bulletin
Board. And we're all very foolish, because
marks represent something in the past, and,
‘like most things in the past, they are worthy
of consideration, but wasteful for emotion.
In all but exceptional cases a merit means
that you did your work last November, a
credit that vou were interested in your work
last November, and a fail that you’ were.
neither interested nor industrious last No-
vember. So that a credit on the. Bulletin
Board. in snite of its pleasant aspect, ' does
see a graceful Chinese deity, swaying for-
ward ffom her place at the Metropolitan.
Yet every night Walter Hampden plays
Othello, Congreve’s Way of the World is on
the boards and our English courses remain

the purpose of impressing the plays on our

COLLEGE TEA-POTS FROM THE
ART CRITIC’S POINT OF VIEW
(Specially Contributed by A. Petrasch, ’28)
The tea-pots in our hall are of two easily
distinguishable types. The Archaic, or Early
Pembroke, variety may at once be recog-
nized by a moss-grown effect of old age.
This is caused by a green glaze which coyers
a large part of their surface. The Renais-
sance, or Late Pembroke, variety, which
were introduced during the re-birth of Pem-
broke pottery in 1923, may be recognized by.
their appearance of royalty and poise among
their surroundings. On closer examination
the glaze, of a regal blue, will again be found
largely responsible. The two periods may
also be distinguished by those essential ear-
marks, the ears or handles, and the spouts,
in place of which all genuine examples of
the Early Pembroke have small whitish pro-
truberances. Lastly we must note briefly the
importance of the cover: if there is none,
Early Pembroke; if there is one, but the
knob has been knocked off in such a way
that the pot must be upset to lift the lid—
a middle period; if the cover is there, intact—
Late Pembroke. Knowing these few simple
characteristics, | feel sure my students will
have no trouble distinguishing the two types,
but I.should like to leave them with a word
of warning: If you see a royal blue tea-
pot minus spout or handle do not, like most
Early Pembroke. No, it is a modern imita-
tion of that type, an imitation so successful
as to have deceived many.

THINKING IN MODERN FAITH
Kindliness is Best Regardless of
Racial Results, Says Speaker
~“Do you suppose that the Apostle’s Creed
which seems so obvious to us now, was ob-

asked the Rev. J. V. Moldenhauer, speaking
in chapel last Sunday night.
“No,” he continued, “it went directly in
the teeth of the fashionable belief of. the
day. It was a definite, sharp, courageous
declaration of their faith.”
Nowadays, he feels, we do not have such
sharpness of mind. We express our reli-
gious feelings in smooth sayings that mean
nothing in particular, and that do not go

disagreeable associations, need to represent

attitude toward marks, as an emotional atti-|
tude toward the past, is dangerously un-
censtructive, we feel with the palmists that
when these dark strangers come into your
fe, your head should rule your heart.
Definite belief in the goodness of God is
necessary for sanity’s sake. A world with-
out a good God would be an insane world.

ity, which seems to me the greatest problém
of present-day orgahic chémistry, and his
detailed plan and method of research were
very ingenious.
“With De Crenshaw, he wrote on the
properties of certain alcohols,:and his work
in this field is used as a standard by Ameri-
can chemists. @&
“During the war he conducted researches
at the Bureau of Chemical Warfare in
Washington, and his studies of tear-gases
prompted the efficiency of our fighting.
“His greatest contribution to science was,
however, his work in opening up a great
new field for research. He helped to centre
the attention of scientists on the importance —
©. equilibrium. His last’ writing, not yet
published, is a report on equilibrium, and
shows once more his accuracy and critical
judgment.
“Organic chemistry has entered a new
phase, and Brunel has been a leader in its
development. His was a philosophic point
of view, but his theories were based always
on. experiment.-
“America has lost an experimenter of the-
first rank, one whose influence will continue
to be, felt as the field he helped to open is’
further explored: I mourn a friend.”
President’ Park then read a letter from
Dr. France: “It was a great grief to me to
be unable to attend a memorial service for
Dr. Brunel. He had rare qualities both as
a teacher and as @ friend and his students
cherish a memory, which death cannot efface,
of his sincerity, enthusiasm; zeal for re-
search and devotion to the ideal of science.
He had the pride in the field, the humility
in the worker that stamps the true scientist.
Though tireless in purshit of the great
problems of organic chemistry, he found
time for many other interests, for expfess-
ing his love of nature, music, languages. I
feel great sympathy for those’ who never
knew him in college.” *

ulties, Physico-Mathematical Medical, Juri-
dical, and Historico-Philological. “Courses”

with subjects and clinics are the practical
and experimental laboratories for medical
students at different hospitals. Pee
As in other Continental Universities the
system is quite different from ours. There
are lectures, reference reading, research
work and conference with professors, but as,
long. as a student passes his examination it
_ doesn’t matter whether he ever attends a
-* class or not. This is a fortunate method for
the Russian student at the present’ time,
| for he needs as much free time as possible
to earn his bread and room, .and if he can|
find work for the day and find books and a
place to study during the night, he thinks
himself fortunate indeed. Medical and en-
gineering students are less favored in this
respect, as their studies are of necessity in
laboratories and workshops and there is lit-
tle time either to earn or prepare food.
Let’s take a few snapshots of Russian Uni-
versity life as it is today. First, we must
find a good interpreter and good interpre-’
ters are scarcer than hen’s teeth. You may
find some one who knows Russian perfectly
and English‘perfectly—but whqhas ideas of
his own and uses them, or you may find one
who is a machine and translates so literally
that neither you nor the other man gets*any
idea of what you really mean-~and woe to
the searcher after truth with either of these
two~kinds of assistants. Then there is the,
man or woman who is sympathetic with both
sides,. sticking closely to what is said and
- yet getting across not only the sense but the
spirit.
We visit a Rector or two. Rectors are the’
‘presidents of the institutions and were for-
merely of great dignity. Now we find one
remaining from the old days—crowded into
two rooms of his former large, comfortable
apartment, surrounded by baoks, old master,
i
grandchildren | trying to carry on the infi-
nite details of an executive.. He has no per-
sonal complaint, only the bitter cry of the
man who has given his. life to building up a
country, but not quite knowifig how to go
- Next we run inté the apartment of & pro-
pianos, trunks, baskets, beds, family. ‘and)-
ed once a day. Some of this cooking we saw
going on. A big @iled stove, once white, was
surrounded by ten or a dozen young men
and women, each watching a small kettle.
Some of these kettles were of clay, some of
chipped enamel ware, but they were all alike}
in being small, blackened and old and filled
with about the same ingredients—a large
quantity of water, a small quantity of cab-
bage, a potato or two, that’s all. This is
called soup and with black bread makes a
student’s chief meal, His other meal or meals
consist of tea and black bread, with now and
then a dried herring or slice of bologna.
The wealth of a student is gauged by the
number of potatoes he is able to bring from
home in the fall and we saw in a corner of
one of the men’s dormitories one of these
plutocrats._He lay on his back with his
head onga bag of potatoes, studying from a
medical text-book and covered by a blanket. |
“There,” said our guide, “is our richest stu-
dent, though he hasn’t even a bed to lie on.”
Our trip was made in June, a wonderful day
far taking pictures, but also a difficult day
to picture oneself what these same rooms
would look like and smell like in January
when the windows had been sealed for
months and the temperature in the rooms and
been near the freezing point. “Alas!” said
one of these boys, “we can’t use ink in the
winter, for it is always frozen.”
Our next stop was in a “medium” dormi-
tory. This was a huge building which had
been nearing completion as a hospital before
the war and had been left for the last eight
years as it was, without windows, stairs,
lighting or plumbing. The students. them-
selves had wired it and “plumbed” it and
put in windows here and there, boarding up

DR. GILKEY GIVES THE
‘ MODERNIST VIEW OF JESUS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2
Upon these ideas. Jesus based four. new
principles of action:
1. Inclusive love ;
2° Humble service ;
-3, Freedom;
. 4, Common sense.
This religion of Jesus is to be distinguish-
ed from the religion about Jesus. The reli-
- gion of Jesus has‘no trace of the elements
which confuse and ‘baffle people today; the
religion about him has. Nobody ever. asked
Jesus if he believed. in the Trinity, or in His
own miracles, Face to face with the ‘worst
possible condition, poverty, the hatred of
the. leaders of the time, the bitter opposition
of his own family, he came through say-
ing :
the world.” A man does not overcome the
world by.any hide-bound speculation on ‘the
inerrancy “of the Bible, but by living prin-
— of action. eo
is ., Gilkey believes that the recent his-
Reon studies of: the New Testament will
lead to a religious awakening comparable to
the Reformation. Christianity will embark
on a new “venture with a new alignment and
new methods of reaching the young.
Facts of Jesus’ Life Explained in Second],
Lecture
In the, earliest biographies of Jesus, Dr.
Gilkey pointed: out in his second lecture,
there is po mention of the miraculous birth.
Just.as, young people af today grow spiritual
by contact with. an older personality, so
Jesus’ spiritual awakening-came about under
the influence of John the Baptist.
Careful historical research shows Jesus to
be the eldest-of a very poor family, The

years. .In-that-short-time—He-freed-current
religion from its ¢urious superstition ; He
helped thase who were morally and spiritu;
ally sick, and He showed men an entirely
new way ‘of life.
He aroused the opposition of the orthodox
religious parties because he refused to com-
ply with their ceremony, ritual, fasts, Sab-
bath observances and elaborate oral laws
and because’ like the modernists of today he
insisted on distinguishing between the valid
and the invalid parts of the Bible. '

Him.
Paul wrote the
biography, of Trained in a different
school and trying to explain Jesus to a dif-
ferent circle of people, Paul added to the
simple teaching of Jesus three ideas utterly
new, utterly unrelated to Jesus’ teaching:
1. He said that Jesus was a pre-existing
being who: had existed with Gd. and had
been sent to giv gre world a second start.
De put ‘emphasis on the death ot Christ
rather than on the life of Christ.
3... He made Christ’s two simple? rituals
of baptism and the Lord’s Supper into semi-
magical sacraments.
Mark was Jesus‘ next viographer. Writing
in 70 A. D. for Romans and Gentiles who
loved and tfusted and: believed in miracles
he introduced the miracle ‘stories. Yet he
records Christ as saying. something which
destroys the plausYbility of\ those miracles:
“No sign shall be given to this generation,”
The miraculous birth of, Jesus, of which
there is no mention in Mark or \in Christ’s
own words, was the chief addition\made by
first |-
ota particular people. Accordingly he in-
troduced the idea of the physical incarnation
of the divine being through whom God had
created the world. °
Jesus and Mysticism
Jesus was dominated by the idea that he
and God were joined not in equality but in
intimate unity.
Dr, Gilkey feels that a religious experi-
ence cannot be identified with any form of
jabnormal psychology. Were mysticism not.
entirely normal it should be condemned, for
the only way in which we can get anywhere
is by living a ngrmal, sane and intelligent
life.
The ways of getting a more active idea
of God are, according to Dr. Gilkey:
j, By living on one’s own highest level.
2. By learning in what particular way
one’s own spiritual sense is quickened.
“ By throwing one’s life into the ventures
of “sai this world a better place.
‘Dr. Gilkey is pastor of the Second Con-
gregational Church, Springfield, Mass. He
also conducts one required and two elective
Bible courses at Amherst College.

RUSSIAN STUDENT LIFE
+ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 *
three; orfe had a bed, but the other two slept
on the floor—this was convenient because
it made more room. The owner of the bed
flourished a tattered book before us and
triumphantly told us “he had just bought it
- for 10,000,000 roubles ($2.50 at fhat time)
and now 20 of them could pass their exam-'
inations. In this same building we also
found four girls living so huddled together
that to open the door it was necessary to
move the bed. As a whole the women stu-
dents’ rooms showed signs of care and
thought, while those. of the men seemed
simply lived in, theugh on several occasions
we did see a student wielding a broom. And
yet in every roam there were big tables in
the best light; books, tattered though they
might be, T squares, triangles, instruments
and draftings showing that one reason for
this_slipshod life was the fact of more seri-
ous things of which to think.
And so it-went, the “worst” places seemed
to us only a little worse than the best, and
yet the students in all these holes and hovels
are lucky. The unfortunate ones are those
who live for months in railroad stations,
who move from one friend’s toom to an-
other. so as not to wear out their welcome
and who live in stables, as one young stu-
dent did; there’ was, however, a note of
pride in his voice when. he told us he had
found a vacant stall formerly occupied by
‘a goat which noW he called his home. Two
girls early last fall were snugly fixed in a
room, only to find it had been assigned to
- other students, “But,” said they, “possession
in Russia is quite ten-tenths of the law, so
. we will sit. quiet and never leave the room
unguarded.” Several weeks passed and they
thought the danger over, so they went out
together one night to buy some supplies too
heavy for one to carry. When they returned
they found their belongings in the hall and
the door fastened with a new lock. About
- the. time we were being told this incident
our visit to the dormitories finished in a
rout. We were standing in quite a groyp of
students all talking at once about how they
had procured the building, old and dilapi-
dated, and had put it to rights, when a clear
voice ‘asked:
like Russian students?” Glancing hastily
around the shabby place, but seeing only the
green campus, immaculate buildings and cozy
rooms of our Alma Maters, we fled, pre-
tending not to comprehend.
Still they come, they stay and most of
them conquer—unless themselves conquered

disease which thrives on such conditions. A
woman medical student in her last year was
taken last year to the hospital with a mind
deranged because of overwork and lack of
food. Many of the students work from 10
«to 4, go to classes from 5 to 3, and study
late into the night. It it any wonder they
are victims of tubercylosis, heart or mental
disorders?

At the price of considerable patiénce with |

necessary details of this tale, one may absorb
first-hand knowledge’ ‘of Indian life and

Indian.
The very slowness of the writer’s method
in developing the tale catches spirit of
India with a revelation of its intimate activi-
tise and of the religious and_ intellectual
problems of its people.
One regrets that the poet may not appear
as the. commentator and ‘that he presents
himself through a translator. The book has
value, for this reason, not as a work of art
| but, as a document. °
