Our Generation

We Must Have Substitute for

Conventional, Says
Dr. Wicks.





PRAISES © ORIGINALITY



The , Rev. Robert Russell Wicks,
D. D., Dean of the University Chapel
at Princeton, spoke on What. Substitute
for. Conventional Morality? .Tuesday
evening in the common room in Good*
hart Hall.

We are all of us, Dr. Wicks.‘says,
living in a generation: where we have
ceased. to respect conventional respec-
tability. It seems: to have lost its
its: genuineness is suspected;
and we are no longer interested in the
old,
ordinary goodnéss. However, quite
obviously we will always need a cer-
tain amount of decency to get along
together. |
become standardized so that even-
tually it reaches a. point where it is
not too high and not-too low. When
people arrive’ at this standard of de-
cency they begin to.grow-stale. So in
ehurches you find a lazy kind of good-
ness in members of the congregation
who get shocked at swearing, yet who
take for granted sich things as the
World- War-and: the-oil-scandal which
took place under the guise of respec-
tability. Christ himself lost his life
at the hands of the most respéctable
church people in Jerusalem.

To have this kind of respectability

_ put things over on us_is_ repulsive.

What can we put in its place? “Moral
originality seems to be the only al-
ternative. We find this nicely exem-

. plified in the parable “of the Good

own

Samaritan. The interesting . thing

~“about~the -hero.ofthis__piece is his

originality; he did » something unex-
pected; something fine, quite on his
initiative. “Very like the Good
Samaritan’ was a Dartmouth man who

refused to sign a thirty-thousand-dol-

~--lar“ contract for professional football

playing on the ground that it took
the ten other men on his team to help
him make his reputation, He said
that he would not feel right in clearing
up thirty thousand on. a_ reputation
which was not his own. An _ origi-

~ nality such as was in the conscience

of that man is in many: those who
will remember. you when others. will
walk by ofthe other side and forget
you; -and~ those» who~ will every day
create new things arid evolve new
ideas in the schools, churches and
businesses, with which bai are’ asso-
ciated.

Perhaps here it should be point
out that-mere revolt from convention-
ality is not real originality. Some-
times it is just copying our contem-.
instead of following . our
ancestors. Much moral experimenta-
tion today is not any deeper than a
passing fad. All real originality is the
working out of some fundamental
abiding principles which we cannot
change—not just the following of a
whim.

Now what are these certain funda-
mental principles? First of all,
live. in a universe which has an un-
written constitution. As L. P. Jacks
once wrote, “You can talk about Tight
and wrong “and the universe won ’t say
anything to you, but you can act it
out and then the desirable and un-
desirable comes out.” If such is the
case it is not hard to believe that this
universe is set so that selfishness will
always work out’ to defeat its own
end.

Secondly, there is soinething tireless
in the: unigerse.. We all get tired—we
get sick of’ourselves. It has been thus

The Nations Change

April 16,
Monsieur Pierre de Lanux, Director
of the Paris Information Office. of the
League of Nations, spoke in the Com-



On. Tuesday afternoon,

subject of international interest, “Mod-
ern Manners in Foreign Policy.” he
talk, delivered in an informal manner
by the brilliant young writer, editor
and lecturer, attempted to show that
the transformation in manners, or the
new diplomacy, isthe sign of new re-
lationships in, foreign affairs. For
four or five years after the Armistice
the psychology of — nations didn’t
change noticeably. These was, for
instande, a deadlock between France
and—Germany, with mutual . distrust
and no peace progress, In 1923 the
Ldeadlock -was international. When
France was occupying the Ruhr, Lord
Curzon was . Foreign — Minister. in
England and the Dawes plan had just
been devised. In western Europe
people distrusted- the League’s capa-
bility for reorganizing. the world.
From this distrust arose a demand to
make use of the. League. of Nations
and the. World Court, with all their
principles, so in 1924 really tepresenta-
tive delegations were sent from all
Europe to the League. The whole
movement was given a forward push |

carno and the Dawes plan; by. the
end of 1925 there had been a gréat
progress. in the relations between
France, Germany and England. In
September, 1926, Germany became a

ue. member and gave the League
‘a lasting foundation, with the Allies
and the ex-enemy countries working
together’ for a common cause. Ger-
many’s entrance ~ established the
League’s authority, because the Ger-
mans adopted a positive attitude of
co-operation and suppressed the nega-
tive elements which had been charac-
teristic ‘of their policy from 1920 to

1925. They formally accepted the
League’s ruling on boundaries and
other questions in order that they

e| might} further other moré important

demands.
Germany Chooses Peace
At the Economy Conference of the.
League. in 1927 the German attitude
was definitely constructive, and put
an end to the fear that Germany
might form an alliance with Russia
and othe» discontented nations. Ger-
‘many’ had to choose between Geneva
and Rapallo, between the League of
Nations and Bolshevism, and_ since

meant revolution in every country,

after another. In prehistoric condi-

tions Egypt did not suffer ftom the

peans; it is in the lower part of the
northwest quadrant that vast - quari-
tities of early remains are going to

appalling on the Nile and also in
Asia. There is an enormously large
amount, of material to be rescued, and
it cannot be said that any comprehen-
sive plan has been evolved for saving
these records. Inyéstigation with a
unified command is negessary to place
on exhibition how we came to be what
we are,

six expeditions in the Near East cov-
ering an.area of fifteen hundred to two
thousand miles. One of-these groups
is on the upper Tigris in. Assyria and
Palestine; there are three at work in
Asia and three in Egypt. The first
expedition was sent out ten years ago
when. the Oriental Institute had an
income of only $10,000. The project
gaye an invaluable impression of what
ought to be done. It was -quite ‘evi-
dent from the beginning that, if we
were to find the desired traces, a
chronological survey was. necessary.
The personnel was made up of geolo-
gists as the extended investigation
harked back to stratified- records.
Among them were two geologists of
Oxford training, Dr. Sanford and Dr.
Archell.

Dr. Sanford discovered in one of aa
lower terraces along the Nile-the ‘first

evidence that man had lived there be-
fore that terrace was laid down, and
that human handiwork came out of an
age which carries back to an enor-
mously remote antiquity. © Such re-
search is characteristic of the investi-
gation. In upper Egypt there are a

series of terraces containing these im-|,
plements, and there is another, toward

Mrs. Manning Explains
Educational Values

Mrs. Manning opened chapel on Mon-
day ‘morning, wApril. 22, by saying. that
this is the time of year when she always

thinks about improvements in curricu-
lum. She found the summary of the
book, “Incentives to Study,” in last

week’s News very interesting, ard ad-
wf

vises everyone to read it catefully. The

general conclusions she declared good,

though the book itself is: not scientific.
The heliefs. of one university, such as
Yale, in this instance, are suggestive
rather than final. There ‘is stress well
placed on the frame of mind of the stu-
dent entering college, and, \ wisely
"| enough, there are no ‘remarks about in-
spiring teaching. A. person. will prob-
ably only meet two or three people in
the whole course of her life, who will
actually inspire her to learn. Mrs. Man-
ning feels that inspiring students are
4more_ important than inspiring teach-
ers, but she pointed outs that this is in
a way a‘paradox, since a pupil is the
product of her past education.* The

“primary impuls@\to learn is botnd to

come- from the older “generation, but a
great deal rests with the students. The
students who are definitely after* some-
thing have the incentive to leave before
they get to college.

The New Republic recently published
an article on “The Aims of Education,”
by..Mr,—Whitehead, —_It—is-written— ina
pleasant and suggestiye way ‘with -a
philosophical background. His ideas are
not- really new; “Do not teach too many
subjects, and teach thoroughly.” He
advises against treating inert ideas and
points out that logic and information

tions. oo =
He treats examinations from the
English point .of view, and _ reacts

against the English system as would
be’ expected from an Englishman. Mrs.
Manning’ pointed out that we see the
good results’ of “the English “and
French systems of. education, while
they see the good points of ours.
There_isa trend toward examina-
tions set by outside teachers, but Mr.

set, by the instructor who has given
the course: He is the—only—person
who can see if. the student is giving

Course examinations tend to make’ us
think in small packets, but Mrs. Man-
ning thinks they serve a definite pur-
pose if one can get anything new by

an_ undergraduate.

Mrs. Manning concluded that there
is more value in seeing the cause and
effect working in the whole field than
in gathering material for a report and
in drawing conclusions. New com-
binations of ideas are the best things
that can be derived fram undergrad-
uate work and examinations are the
best way of achieving this end.

forte, given in the Auditorium of

April 17. The program, in spite of the
excellence of the individual artists, was
too long, and it was_ ineffectively

Two Sports Stressed

In chapel on Wednésday Miss _
Josephine Petts talked on the impor-
tance of fencing and lacrosse, two
sports that are included on the list of
new spring exercises.

Fencing has always been taught as
part of the required study in dramatic
schools. It teaches agility, skill and



|movement, and lightness, beside being __

the most efficacious method of keep-
ing one’s weight where it should be.
It is a particularly valuable sport for
seniors who wish to make a good im-
pression on their perspective employ-
ers as they walk into their offices.
Lacrosse is one of the best games
we have here this spring. . Very few
people in this country know how to
teach it. It + originated with the
American Indian and was taken up. by

the-English- who-have always-played-it———

much better than we do.. There are.
crosses which can be borrowed from
the-gym;—and everyone is urged to
give the game a trial, especially upper-.
classmen, who in recent basketball
games have not proven as lithe as the
freshmen and sophomores.

INTELLECTUAL GADGETS

There. is something about our. day |
of rapid strides and amazing prog-
ress that has caught each one of us:
into the swing of things and de-
veloped a kind of international
pride in the twentieth century. . We

his grandfather. We all know a
little, and we think we know a lot;
what we don’t know is easily coun-
terbalanced by the efficiency with
which we keep track of all the new

Miss Caréy aroused the lyric emo-

poetry about spring is difficult to find
because the very’ idea of -green trees
and flowers puts every one, especially
poets, in a subjective frame of mind.
There are, however, occasional purely
descriptive songs scattered throughout
literature.

Miss Carey found that ie Old Eng-
lish apparently had no spring, for all
is bleak and bare in their poetry. But

‘Now we have found common intel-
lectual ‘values between all countries.
The rank-and-file, particularly the ex-

in a sober, critical’ manner, giving
their support to everything, done ‘to

Need for Ificteased Diplomacy
All these pledges and treaties, this

council déliberations are open to
newspapermen and the public, diplo-
mats have one dominant preoccupa-
tion, to put the case of their country
in a favorable light in the opinion of
fhe’ world. They see that no country
can afford to be uncompromising,
since such an attitude gives ‘rise to
suspicion and hostility, and even the
most “undemocratic diplomat tries to
impress_the world with his country’s |
peacefulriess. :
Today patriotism and nationalism
are as, important, as. ever, but. the
‘methods ‘of serving one’s country are
being revised.. “Jingoism” -has given
way to, somnething more constructive
-and intelligent. Every statesman
knows that some things are forbidden
his. country, ‘and that he may best
serve___it- by. compromising. The
change of viewpoint is illustrated’ by
the lawsuit between France and Tur-
key over an.imprisoned ~Frenchman.
The Court fuled in favor of Turkey;
France accepted the decision, and pub-
lic, opinion supported it.
sible attitude would have’ been im-
possible fifteen years ago, when na-
tions were like bandits, and there was
no legal guilt-in declaring war. At
the present time our. hope for the
abolition of war lies in the “support
ofthe masses and in the hope that,
should fear and nervousness cause two
peoples to become involved, the other
nations will remain cool-headed.
: It is now recognized that America’s
part in setting up international, rela-
tions was pre-eminent when Europe
was mixed up. with individual prob-
lems. -The American delegations have

it is on ‘the. foundations which they

Hampton Institute Visited |

The movement for intercollegiate
good-will received a’ new impetus and
a new interpretation during the past
week-end; for the first -time in the
history of Hampton Institute a group
of students from four of the white col-
leges of Virginia spent. two days as
guests on the beautiful campus belo
Newport News. :

After a leisurely drive on a lovely
spring afternoon, the party in Mr.
Brown's car was welcomed i Hamp-
ton Institute by Mr. George Ketcham
and Mr. Robert Ogden Purves, field
agents for the colored college. The
evening meal Saturday is a delightful
memory of good food and of fine fel-
Jowship, as, indeed, are all the meals
at the Holly Tree Inn. The party felt
honored that:.they were allowed to
stay at the official guest-house of the
Institute. In the evening, the five
visitots were. delighted’: with “Children
of ‘thé Moon,” a tragedy by Martin
Flavin, which was presented by the:
Hampfton.._Players,—in--Ogden- Halt:
About' fifteen hundred of .the colored
students were present in the large au-

torium that seats twenty-four hun-
dred. This dignified brick structure,



équipped with a wonderful organ, is
one of the few buildings on the cam-
pus that’ was not. built by student
labor.

Sunday morning. the. guests were
shown: ‘through the Trades School
Building of useful arts for men and
boys, the Honte-Economics Building
for the women and girls, the Biology
and the Chemistry Laboratories—all
these. are fitted with the latest and
best equipment, much of’ which has
been designed and -made on_ the
grounds of the Institute. Since a
modified form: of compulsory military
training is required for the men, about
twenty-five visitors, including .the
party from Richmond and Williams-
burg, watched the inspection and re-

negro colleges of the South for strict
rules and fair play, one with the
Y. M. C.. A: cabinet, and another
with the “Y” at its regular meeting
made the visitors and their hosts real-
ize that college problems are not con-
fined to any. one race. Their dissatis-
faction with compulsory chapel, their
social problems growing out. of educa-
tion, their spirit of ‘religious unrest—
all these problems sound very familiar
to the visitors. The chapel service at
7.30 P. M. was led by President Gregg.
The singing of thé negro spirituals by
the entire student body was an un-
forgetable experience fit to cap a trip
that may have much influence on thé

‘relation,of white and colored colleges

of the South.

As the party drove back to Rich-
mond Sunday night, the members felt
that they*had come into a new under-
standing of the similarity of the prob-
lems of the colored and white stu-
dents, an appreciation of their ability
to achieve some worth-while ends’ if
properly trained, and a feeling that the
Institute needs the friendliness of “the white
people as well as money if it is to be
of real service. To Mr. Brown, the
members of that little group are truly
grateful and hope that evén our lim-
ited ability and means will be useful
in creating.a yet greater spirit of good-
will among college students regardless
of institution, or race—Richmond Col-
legian. —

Colonel E. Alexander Poweéll’s new,
book, “The ‘Last Home of Mystery,” -
which exceeds “Mother India” in its
sensational exposure of the Obscenity. and.

has become .the storm:cenftre. of a lively
contréversy ,in which Katherine Mayo |
and Sailendra Nath Ghose, president of
the American’ branch: of the India Na-
tional Congress, .figure. =

Ghose, representing a group of in-
fluential Windus in this country, issued
a statement to the press a few days
after “The Last Home of Mystery” ap-

as “irresponsible,” “unauthentic”. and the.
“loose tales of a mere tourist.” He
manifested his particular resentment to
the book’s strong indictment of thé
Hindu religion, which Colonel’ Powell
characterizes as “a spiritual cesspool in
whose noxious depths every form of
ner he and .vice flourishes amid: the
slimeg-

Colonel Powell came to the defense
of: his book on the following day’ and
issued: a reply to Mr. Ghose. He re-
affirmed his attack on the decadence of
the modern Indian civilization and in-
vited Mr. Ghose to specifically challenge
any of the facts,in the book. “The con-
ditions which I denounce in ‘The Last
Home of Mystery’ are matters of: such
common knowledge in India that if is
futile to even attempt to. deny them,”
Colonel Powell said. — “All the other
statements I have made ift this connec-
tion are. substantiated. by — authorities
whgse knowledge and reputation are
above quéstion, or by the Hindu scrip-
tures themselves.”

Katherine Mayo, author of “Mother
India,” commended “The Last Home of
Mystery,” particularly the \ chapter on
“Unclean Gods” . in. which. Colonel
Powell contends that the present eco-
nomic and spigitual poverty of the Hindu
race can be traced to the Hindu religion.

Dean T. J. Thompson, of the Uni-

‘versity of Nebraska, is quoted as hav-

ing said: “The collegiaté type is poo
in scholarship, rarely takes part in
sports and.is almost always ignorant
‘as regards other activities. I find on
the part of our students a decided re-
action against drinking. They believe
it’should not be tolerated in an edu-

school is ‘publishing his ‘smartness’
since getting out. My own judgment
is that our boys and girls here are

The characteristic function of this

was attended. by “seven thousand stu-
dents from all parts ‘of the civilized
world, was to introduce the learning
of Arabia to the rest of Europe. Had
this broad-minded policy been con-

different future. But it was not to
be. One of her most distinguished
professors, Fr. Luig de Leon (1528-

years by its orders because of his ad-

somewhat jlike those of a priest. They
were clean shaven’ and wore a peculiar
type of hat. They were not ‘allowed
to wear any other hat in or out of
the town. They enjoyed many privi-
leges and knew no authority but that
of the rector.

In 1715 there were twenty-four col-
leges, in each of,,which there were
thirty residents. The four most fa-
mous of these colleges were called the
Great Colleges because of their illus-

differed little from other “Hegal asso-

These societies © no Jlonger exist.
Their place has been taken by other
associations of students. Each faculty
has its own association, The main
organizations are of Medicine, Law,
Arts and the Catholics. There is no
attempt at co-ordination, and the only

“Iinglish Ones are aristocratic. That is

governed by presidents im ‘an dasebracic

versities-are governed by.a large bedy of
elected or co-opted fellows.

The professor had other things to say
about American Universities. He round-

system, the acuté specialization, andthe
dremendous enrollment which, he said, led

that the speaker touched upon. One was
