Speaker Says Youth Fails to Accept Present Conditions
"If you are an educated man or woman, you wonder, you question; you do not just sit and accept new developments," said Dean Raymond A. Schwegler, director of the summer session, speaking Sunday morning at the First Baptist church. His subject was "The Church as a Character Builder."
His advice was that we should not look upon religion as a shipwreck and a failure but as an essential aspect of human living. Religion is a psychological fact, he said, a part of everyone's psychic experience.
"It is becoming rather fashionable to doubt all accepted theories," he continued. "It is the result of the new scientific training.
"The human being, as a living organism stands face to face with the infinite. Religion is his effort to adjust himself to great psychic forces around him," said Dean Schwegler. "One of the tragic things about being college bred is that when the student is all through, he finds himself alone with his God, his religion, his own personal struggle to maintain a proper relationship between himself and the great surging forces about him."
PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAMINATION
TAKEN BY NEW STUDENTS
Dean Schwegler expressed the opinion that the hope for the future of the race is vested in the quest of the younger generation for a better and more adequate way of living. It is vested in the fact that youth refuses to admit that the present formula for living is the best. The great catastrophe of the World War, in his opinion, was one proof that the formula of life, set up by the older generation is inadequate.
One hundred forty students took the psychological examination given Tuesday and Wednesday in room 9, Administration building. This examination is required of all students entering the University for the first time. The test used is the one issued by the American Council on Education, Washington, D. C. Mr. Roy Roberts had charge of the testing.
The highest possible score is 363. The nearest perfect score ever made by a student matriculating here was 360, made by a Summerfield scholar. The usual range of scores is from 26 to 304, and the average is about 140. The examination includes completion tests, vocabulary and language tests, analogies, arithmetic, and a test on opposites. The knowledge of the students ability is used only for advisory purposes, and has no bearing on grades

Pasadena, Calif—The color of the island universes outside of our own has been shown to be bluer along their outer spiral arms than at their center. This discovery was reported to the American Association for the Advancement of Science by Dr. Edwin F. Carpenter of the Steward Observatory of the University of Arizona.
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH FINDS
SIR JAMES THEORY CORRECT
This recent observation made with special color filters in connection with a camera, confirms the theory of Sir James Jeans that the outer parts contain the older stars of the nebula. His idea is that the spiral arms were the first to condense into the droplets we know as stars. It is known from other facts that younger stars are bluer in color than older, and older ones are more reddish.

University Map Stands at East End of Campus
A structure resembling a shallow box elevated and on edge stands at the East end of Campus Row on the terrace of Fraser hall. It stands in plain view and seems to beckon all comers.
In this box-like bulletin board there is a map called "A Plan of the University" and it was conceived and executed in 1926 by Miss Marjorie Whitney in an effort to facilitate a ready access to the knowledge and lore of the hill. It pictures the buildings, streets and by ways of the university, all distinctively labeled in the artist's effort to leave no mystery for those who would know their campus.
Although it is not blessed with a private building, this work stands as a ready key to much knowledge that might otherwise escape those who visit the campus daily.
