THOMISM BECOMES .
A MODERN FACTOR

Thomas Aquinas Essentially
‘a Realist, Believed Also

in Evolution,

GOD - IS GOAL OF ALL

tn
“Thomism, the philosophy of Thomas
_ Aquinas, is gaining more and more im-

’ portance,” said Father Benais, of the
-Sulpician * Seminary - of Washington,
D. C., speaking under the auspices of the
Christian Association last © Tuesday.

Thomas Aquinas believed that God was
the source and end of gll things and that
in Him, man would find his perfect
happiness.

From the thirteenth to the sixteenth
century, Thomas Aquinas’ influence was
pre-eminent, but after Bacon and Des-
cartes, Thomism was considered too
mediaeval except in Catholic circles. In
the nineteenth century, however, under

the influence of Pope Leo XIII, the im-
portance and value of Thomas Aquinas’
philosophy again came to be recognized.

It was in the twentieth century that this
revival took on real proportions. In
France the “partie de lintelligenos,” re-

acting against romanticism in politics as

well as literature, especially devoted it-
self to the study of Thomism and the
other mediaeval philosophies. Many
young men and women are members of
this movement and flock to the courses
on this subject in huge numbers. But
the revival is not restricted to France,
for Harvard, Yale and Columbia all in-
clude courses on Thomism in their cata-
logues.

Thomas Aquinas was born in 1227 in
the South of Italy. This period was
remarkable for its intellectual movements
as well as its great social organization
of Christendom with the Pope as head
and “arbitrator, the first League of Na-
tions. The thirteenth century was also
the period of the Crusades. The Sara-
cens had been driven out of France, but
they were still pre-eminent in Spain. It
was through the Saracens that the
Christian world was first introduced to
the works of Aristotle, but these works
received a pantheistic flavor from the
Arabs and were therefore put under a.
ban by the ecclesiastical authorities. - In-
deed, it was not until Thomas Aquinas

.had restored the text of Aristotle and

had ,made it the basis of his philosophical
interpretation of Christianity that this
ban was removed. '

As a youth of eighteen, Thomas
Aquinas entered the Dominican order in
spite of family opposition. He traveled
to Paris and thence to Cologne where he
studied under the philosopher, Albert the
Great, who anticipated the experimental
method. Because of his reticence and
quietness, Thomas Aquinas’ schoolmates
called him “the dumb ox,” whereat Albert

side. -This summer they are holding a
“Students Industry Group” in Phila-
delphia, -similar to those held in
Chicago and in Detroit. The purpose
of the Group or Seminar, is to give
those who are interested in Economics
and Sociology a chance to do field
work in industrial research.

~The Group Seminar opens with a}-

Uncopyrighted Material Dangerous.

When a publication is uncopyrighted
nothing can prevent it from being re-
printed or quoted, not as the expres-
sion of an individual. but as general
public opinion, nor can anything pre-
vent sentences from being taken out of
the context. The college must protect
itself first of all by keeping direct
channels open to an accurate press,
and we have extraordinarily good open
The college must ask its
students to give up publication of un-
copyrighted material, so easily mis-
quoted, and to make no statements to
the newspapers except through these
authorized channels.

How does this affect the question of
free speech? Free speech must be
maintained at college. For intelligent
people it means free opportunity for
open discussion of fact, opinion and
conjecture, not freedom for the print-
ing of gossip or inaccurate or deliber-
ately untrue facts. This discussion
mist be genuine. There are authorized
publications on campus where opinions

can be offered. Through these worth-|

while channels discussion with give-
and-take can be carried on. We ask
that individual opinion to the press go
through the authorized channels, so
that the college can insist on its ae-
curate repetition. Free speech is the
untrammeled discussion of honest
opinion. It does not interfere with the
rights of others, or with the rights of
the college to which we hope ' we all
belong.

Second Varsity Wins Dull

the brilliant spectacle of the first team
game, seemed even niore uninteresting
than it probably was. Both teams

which gave the final victory to second

F. Bethel,

Swarthmore excelled in long zigzag

TRECENTO LIFE ROUGH



“They know how to hope when they
have lost all ground for hope.”

This tribute to the Italian people
was. given by Professor Gaetano Sal-
vemini, great Italian liberal, patriot
and scholar, in his lecture here last
Frida¥ evening.

Professor Salvemini differentiated

which, occurring during Dante’s life,

bourgeois environment.”

The general life of the» Italian people
during the thirteenth century was ex-
tremely rough and simple. The houses
were built of wood and the roofs
sparsely thatched. Conflagrations were
prevalent in tost of the cities and
enormous areas were very often com-
pletely destroyed. The majority of the
streets. were barely wide enough to
walk through, while the most fashion-
Lable street in Florence was but five
yards wide. In winter these narrow
ways were rivers of mud, and in sum-
mer, piles of dust. :

There were no tallow candles, so
that redolent oil lamps furnished the
only means of lighting ~ the small
houses. The men wore cloaks of skins
and wool, while the women wore
rough woolen garments even on such
wedding days.

Traveling Very Difficult.

Time had wrought havoc ith

Roman roads. Mules, as the only

means of transportation, were usually
weighed down with the heaviest bur-
dens possible. By the end” of the
fourteenth century a road, wide enough
for two-wheeled carts, was built across
the Alps, but even then the journey
was made with great difficulty. There
were no inns, the only means of hos-
pitality being offered by the mon-
asteries. Once outside his own “divis-
ion” a traveler found himself in a
foreign country, to pass through
which, he must pay a toll. As he had
to pass through about thirty of these
in his journey, traveling was rather
expensive.

Besides these difficulties, the traveler
was always in danger of losing both
life and possessions, since the roads
were infested with brigands and the
several ‘divisions’ always at war.
Traveling by water was little better.
The sea was so thick with pirates
that many men made life more profit-
able by becoming mauraders in self-
defense. Exchange of necessities be-
tween “divisions” was an impossibility
and two or three bad harvests meant
death to thousands.

teams warmed up, the fight began in}~ Although the middle ages was a

earnest. It was ‘a tense moment while
the score crept from 24-24 to 26-26,
then 27-26, but Varsity had not quite

the endurance to keep it up. And al- 8;

though the team went down in the

end, they went down fighting. The de-
feat ‘was by no méans an ignoble one.

RESPONSIBILITY
College elections are coming on
very fast now, faster than most
people realize. They begin — this
week with elections for the Self
Government Association. “It is cer-
tainly high time for the electorate
to be thinking seriously about the
kind of people it wants to control
the policies and procedures of fiext
year. The decision sh¥uld this year,
less than any ‘other year, be left to
a moment’s consideration, a passing
prejudice. The new officers -will
all have a tremendous amount of
work to do. They will need to be
people who can think things
through, peofle accustomed to orga-
nizing and running large groups,
people of wisdom and maturity of
mind, people open to both sides of
a question, and yet able to formulate
and maintain their own opinions—
and above all, they must be people
who are trusted by the undergrad-
uates, for whom the undergraduates
are willing to work.
May Day year is not the time for
officers who would be able to lead
the college to closer contacts’ with
the outside world, or whose origin-
ality_or striking personality would
make it. difficult for them to carry
through the more or less dull and
crowded routine which must of
necessity be theirs while the entire
activity of the college is given over to
_ May. Day. They must unite, rather
than lead, the undergraduate body.
Few realize how completely the life
of the college nee by the offi-
. cers.
After all, they are the ones who
have most immediate and frequent

access to the faculty and the admin-
istration, they are the ones who are
_ consulted in crises and whose opin-
- inons whether wise and mature or
hasty and childish, are regarded by
the heads of the college as represen-
tative of undergraduate views. In

To say that the title of Encaustics is
well-chosen and fully justified is to com-
Isn’t it the
aim of all brief character sketches to fix
themselves. upon the reader’s mind as
though they had been “burned in,” as
the metaphor would have it? Stark
Young has succeeded in so fixing his
little portraits. And oddly enough the
very secret of his success is that he has
not been over-caustic. The characters
he has drawn are not put on exhibition
for the admiration of conspicuous vir-
tues by enthusiastic spectators. It is
their foolishness, their stupidity or pro-
vincialism which furnish the author with
a starting point in each case. But, far
from haranguing these, he has taken the
advantage of setting them forth rather
in a vein of light comedy. So no reader
will be hurt; his laughter will obviate
the embarrassment that a possible sim-
ilarity between him and a character in
the book might otherwise arouse, If the:
author is playing the role of a reformer,
he does so only incidentally and in dis-
guise. But it is improbable that he
should so far lack common sense.
The quality that makes these sketches
stay so clearly in mind is their sharpness
and simplicity of delineation, which, since
the subjects are sufficiently humorous to
begin with, give rise to an atmosphere of
delicious, gentle irony, prone to concili-
ate the most stony of heart.
Since the highest praise—and Mr.
Young deserves this—is quotation, a few
examples of his terse, witty style may
speak for him. For instance, Mrs. C——,
a lady who thrives by her misapplied de-
votion to a variety of causes whose util-
ity is dubious, attempts to proselytize a
darky cook, Lourine. “Consider,” she
says, “that for three thousand years the
position of women in Europe has been
that of ‘slaves.’ Lourine’s exclamation
in reply, and, incidentally, a comment. of
the author, is; “I say! Good Lord, how

Do you have difficulties in getting up
for your eight o’clock class? So do we,
and finally became so perturbed over our
deficiencies that we appealed to an expert
for advice. (We mean an expert at not
getting up.) This is what we are told.
Dear Madam:

Getting up ‘in the morning wears on all
sexes, sizes and shapes. [ venture to
throw out a few suggestions on easing
that daily pain, for what they are worth:

My advice to anyone is:

“1. Don’t get up. The cuts will have
to be taken anyway, and loss of sleep is
bad for the complexion. See the Dean
about having the raucous call of the
chapel, bells stopped. No one goes any-
toy

2. After your cuts are used up (which
unfortunately is a very sudden and neces-

‘sary consequence to my first suggestion)

don’t go to bed. After you have tried
staying up all night several times you
will soon find out how easy it is, and
there is always time to get a couple of
hours’ sleep in the afternoon. Also it is
possible to get a lot of work done in
the early morning hours when no one is
fussing around, Since you are going to
die someday, you inight as well ‘start now.
3. If you feel that you must go to
bed, and that you must get up (which is
perfectly ridiculous), try hiding your
blankets. Along about four in the morn-
ing your feet will begin to freeze, and
two more hours of suffering #1 be all

will be very bright and cheery at break-
fast. If you catch cold you can go to
the infirmary, and you won't have to get
up.
4. Get someone to call you by long-
distance at an early hour every morning.
5. Get the habit.
Of course you can think of other
things, such as going to bed in a barrel
that will -hit Niagara Falls at exactly
7 A. M, or having your alarm clock
automatically Set off a bucket of cold
water on your head, but such things will
always leave you in a@ state of nervous
exhaustion that will not be cured before
the day is half gone. Better join the
fire department, and sleep all the time
except when an alarm is turned in.
And just as we were wondering how
to. fill up the rest of our space, we re-
ceived this contribution, which fits in with
singuiar appropriateness :

sic, where he studied piano with Den-
yanski, In 885 he left this conserva-
tory to enter one at Moscow. There he
studied the piano, first with Svireff, a
pupil of Liszt, and afterwards with Alex-
ander Siloti. In 1891 he was awarded
highest honors as a pianist, and in 1892,
in composition for his opera “Aleko” in
one act. In 1893 he was appointed pro-
fessor of piano at a girls’ private school
in Moscow, and in 1897, conductor of the
Moscow Private Opera. In 1899, he
visited. London and conducted his, fan-
tasia, “The Cliff,” and appeared as pian-
ist. In 1904 he was appointed first con-
ductor at the Imperial Theatre in Mos-
cow. Mr. Rachmaninoff made his first
appearance in the United States as a
pianist, giving a recital at Smith College,
in 1909, subsequently playing with the
Boston Symphony. His first appear-
ance with the Philadelphia Orchestra oc-

the Great. is said ‘to have remarked, “You
call him the dumb ox; but wait, his bel-
lows will fil! the whole world.”

, His life was extfemely short. He died
in 1274 at the age of forty-seven. But
in that short time he made himself ‘be-
loved by all and yet had time to write in-
numerable treatises, twenty-seven volumes
in quarto.. The most important of his
works are his commentaries on the works
of Aristotle. Besides this, he taught
philosophy and theology and wrote com-
mentaries on the famous four books’ of |

_ sentences by Peter the Lombard. He.-also,

wrote a defense of the Christian feligion

against. the -atgacks.of- the Jews-and.the

Arabs and his Summa Theologica. the
basis of all Catholic theology. °

It is in the Summa Théologica that he
expresses his philosophy. This book is
divided into three parts, which are in
turn sub-divided ‘into questions, and
articles. His method isy first, to state the
question, then to give the arguments op-
posing his own,solution, then to state his
authority .for his theory, and, last, to
state his opinion. The three divisions
are, namely, God as the source; God as

t!e end, and Christ, the way. His style
throughout is clear and concise, and de-
void of all rhetoric.

His doctrine “answers the following



is our place in life? What are’ we to do?
And what is our-hope? Thomas Aquinas
believes that the proper object of man’s
knowledge is the mattrial world, The
intellect’ of man grasps directly material
things, but it is also capable of rising from
this knowledge of the material’ to a con-
septioh of the spiritual. We can have no
direct knowledge of spiritual realities,
however, . but. can know God only ana-
logically. Thomas Aquinas maintains the
validity and objectivity of human knowl-
edge but recognized its limitations, differ-
entiating between the degrees of knowl-
edge. His realism and the modesty of
his claims should be noted: ;
Answering the second question, the be-
lieves that the individual has a place of
its-own.-He believes in the reality-of the
individuality and ‘arranges the individuals

into a hierarchy according to their vary-
ing degrees of perfection.
that the universe is a unity in diversity

He believes

and variety. - He furthermore believes in
evolution, in change, and agrees with
Aristotle’s theory of actuality and potenti-
ality. Growth is the realization of po-
tentiality. God, however, is pure @ctual-
ity, the perfect existence This, too, is
similar to Aristotle’s ‘conception.

» All man’s faculties are devoted to gain-
ing perfect happiness. But this happiness
cannot be obtained by satisfying the mere
instincts and appetities. The only satis-
fying joy is the love and knowledge of
