FAITH GREATEST

Complexity and Disillusion of
Life Make Youth Test
All Theories.

EDUCATION TWO-FOLD

“By faith Abraham, when he was













‘called to go out into a place which he

should after receive for an inheritance,
obeyed; and hé went out, not knowing
whither he went.” This was the text for
the Baccalaureate sefmon: preached by
Henry Pitney Van Dusen Sunday eve-
ning, May 29, in the Gymnasium.

True education as a preparation for
life involves a two-fold understanding
without which one cannot serve or even
live fully. That is, an understanding of
the facts, forces and problems that have
occurred in different forms all through
history and are the facts and problems of
the present day. Although the former

|is probably the most important, it is the

latter which interests youth chiefly.

In considering: modern life it is the
complexity of it that stands out. And
it is not only our practical lives that are
complex, but our thought lives and our
emotional lives, making our inner ex-
perience a tangle like a subway jam.
Thus it is that the philosophies of today
are pluralistic; instead of being the re-
flections of ultimate reality they are the
reflections of our actual lives. —

Due partly to the scientific spirit with

its, passion for truth, and partly to the
post- -war_ disillusionment in which we

for realism in all departments of modern
life. It is futile now to appeal to author-
ity, tradition or ‘sentiment; to every
