RELIGION IS TRUE BASIS
KNOWLEDGE INSUFFICIENT FOR EDUCATED LIFE.
Sheldon in Chapel Considers That Work Is the Main Business of Life.
"The main business of life is work, the incidental thing is play," said Dr. Charles M. Sheldon, Friday morning in chapel, in speaking on the aims of an educated life. He began his address by defining education as the fullest development of the entire human being all of the time so long as he lives. In directing the aim for an educated life Dr. Sheldon said that a student should have a plan and he discussed five elements which should characterize the effort.
He first spoke of humility which increases continually throughout life. Every human being can teach us something that we do not know and pride should be entirely lacking in an educated man.
Dr. Sheldon's terse comments on work and play came in connection with his plea that the educated man should hold things in the right proportion. The educated person should be interested in everything in the world. However, no one should develop abnormally the amusement side of life, but recognizing work as the main business, each one should find happiness by helping some one else.
A man's attitude to the multitude indicates his idea of social democracy. He may view the people with indifference, disgust or avarice, but Dr. Sheldon submitted Christ's attitude of compassion and sympathy for every one as the proper one.
The educated man should make a response to the call for service Dr. Sheldon said that the world is sick and sore for service and educated men must solve the problems. In closing he emphasized the necessity that to be successful in his aim a man must have a profound religious basis. Mere education is not enough, for university men are willing to sell their brains for money and it is such who cause trouble to the federal government. Religion consists of a profound love for God and man and without this foundation the educated man may be but a shrewd pagan.
WHO' THE BRIGHTEST?
Economics Class Studying Comparative Intelligence.
The students of Professor Boynton's 9 o'clock class in the history of England are very busy today gathering data on the average intelligence of University classes.
This class was a bit sleepy Wednesday and the professor asked several members what they thought of the standard of intelligence in that class. He also asked them to secure some evidence on the standard of intelligence of other University classes
Those in this course who have been consulted are of the opinion that the economic history class is the very elite of University classes.
