Carpenter Reminds Modern America That Independence Does Not Mean
Rejection and Contempt of the Past; Man Must Look Back for Guidance

Continued from Page 1

Gordon Childe’s What Happened
in History. The prejudice extends
to the study of ancient Greek as
a mark of the ruling classes, and
that study therefore carries a
social stigma, as part of a pass-
ing, never-to-be-recalled cultural
phase.

More important, Greek, because
it belongs so completely to the
past, seems to have no part in a
technological present that has
built upon the past, then declared
it inferior and turned from it.
Science is the idol of the modern
world because it promises material
benefit to the common man.

The rejection of the inferior
past is possibly correct only for
the technological aspect of civil-
ization. However, modern man
applies this to everything as a
formula of success, and wonders
why he cannot improve in a like
way on his predecessozs’ art,

though “there is really not the
slightest warrant for assuming
that mankind is otherwise moving
forward, just because he is mak-
ing great strides in his techno-
logical controls.” Nevertheless,
the patronizing contempt “is
bound to reach the ancient Greeks
and engulf them in its smiling
pity,” even as it dismisses the rest
of man’s past as interesting but
unimportant. A good example is
modern’ architecture, breaking
with the Greek order, but not, by
this mere discarding, developing
a truly American form. Func-
tional building and sound engin-
eering are not necessarily good
azchitecture or a style in them-
selves. In short, man cannot
“shake off his past by a shrug of
his shoulders and make himself a

wholly new world out of nothing.”
What man fails to realize is that
nothing in the inanimate world
corresponds to the abrupt begin-
ning and end of his own conscious

experience. The present cannot
be just a point in an endlessly
moving stream, for as a point it
would have no content. It is
rather “an aspect of the entire
past moving into the entire fu-
ture.’ The mind, by being able
to apprehend the past, can stretch
back the present, and past influ-
ences can operate again.

By turning our minds to the
moments of surges of great vital.
ity in the past, “we can recapture
and revitalize their effectiveness,
and make them work once more,”

charging our waning strength.
“Ancient Greece was one of the
phases of extreme: urgency,” and
this is the final reason why this
phase of the past cannot “be ut-
terly disregarded.” Greek is
worthwhile for its own sake, and
today’s Greek scholar will not be
a tragic figure, but a hero whose
trust is to bring an understanding
of ancient ave to the millions.



ERRATA

The NEWS extends its sincerest
apologies to Barhara Joelgon, ’52,
for the misprint of her name in
last week’s issue. She hasn’t
changed it—yet.

Kathy Geib, whose engagement
was announced last week, was a
member of the class of 1949, not
1950.

In Mr. Morris’ review of Coun-
terpoint, there were two errors. In
the second to the last line in col-
umn 3, page 3, the calligraphy of
the mamifesta (not manifesta) is
under discussion. In the third line
from the top of the third column
on the fourth page, “in a sense”
should read “in another sense” in
order to transcribe exactly Mr.
Morris’ meaning.

Contrary to the article, Janet
Leeds is not doing lights for Arts
Night.

the book — and they’re not fooling him one bit! He knows for dang-sure that
cigarette mildness can’t be determined by a cursory sniff or a single, quickly- ; |

dispatched puff. He doesn’t have to go back to school to know that
there is one real test — a test that dispels doubt, fixes fact.

It’s the sensible test... the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test,
which asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke—on a pack-

_ after-pack, day-after-day basis. No snap judgments needed.
After you’ve enjoyed Camels — and only Camels — for
30 days in your “T-Zone” (T for Throat, T for Taste), we
