THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Vol. XXVI Official Student Paper of The University of Kansas Durant Contends Progress is Real in Philosophy Talk Contributions to Culture Show Advancement of Humanity SIX PAGES Pessimism Draws Answer Conditions Continue to Improve Intellectually and Morally in Heritage Quoting as the keynote of his speech the query of Ruskin and other pessimistic writers of the nineteenth century, whether any advancement of monkish thought was valid if the human heart remained unchanged, Will Durant, in his lecture Friday evening answered his self-propounded question "Is Progress Good?" "It is in the esthetic, literary, philosophical and moral contributions of mankind to civilization that progress is of consequence," Doctor Durant pointed out: "not in the political and economic careers of downfall nations." "If we look at history as a succession of savvy battlefolds, of the rise and descent of one nation over another of politicians and governors, of warfare against one another, with the possessions that human labor and toil is futile, that human progress is a delusion. However, this is not "The state of Greece is dead; we know not even the names of her greatest allies, her most devoted warriors and generals. But what of the wisdom and beauty developed under the Greek civilization? Is it dead? Are they more alive than ever today, when their philosophy has as contrasted with paltry hundreds in their own generations. The Partheans are the presence of the artist, Philidon, lives on. "If we look at history in this light we cannot believe that man tols building by the sweat of his brow a woman's breast, nor stroved by a stupid, relentless time. "Some cell, but it gave to the world mercuries. Virgil and Horace. Perseus embarked on a series of adventures more beautiful than the Parthenon, developing a science greater than that of Greece. And now, if we listen to her laughter in her room, we can see precisely the conditions marking the dyingugenes of destruction; we "At this point enters America building a civilization broader based than the world has yet seen. America is destined to reach greater heights. We will build a more advanced the past throws any light on history this civilization too will pass away. Where we labor today, savages will roam tomorrow. Yet there will have been enough people before us to preserve a heritage which will make future generations better men." No.10G The first of these steps was the development of speech, which aided man to go from the partisan to the militant. The discovery of fire and light followed, making man independent of climate, and master of his former fears of the night. Conduct of animals relieved him from the hunt, allowing the hunter as well the hunter. It is the view of history, thus outlined, Doctor Durant holds, which can furnish a basis for his argument on mankind. To prove the truth of this belief, he traced the advances of civilization in the past and stated that man has climbed to his present position. Social organization, the development of a moral sense, the rise of invention and science, all had their share in improving mankind's status. The transition from hunting to agriculture was characterized by Doctor Durant as one of the greatest steps forward that man has made, since it gave him more food, and led to the establishment of great social institutions. When Writing, and education, by which one generation is enabled to pass on its contributions to civilization are the final and long-term goal of Darurant contends. "These are the important things to consider in progress—the philosophy, art, literature, morality which mankind has learned." "For progress is not an increase in happiness, but in the ability of mankind to do better things." V. M. C. A. Has Free Literature The pamphlets and booklets at the entrance of the Y.M.C.A. office, room 121, Fraser aid, are all free of charge, according to SA. The booklet is most of the writings discuss various aspects of religious, governmental, or social conditions. Many of these books are marked 10 and 15 cents in printing, but that is incorrect and Carter urges any student that might have a reading interest to write to come and examine them. Durantisms --of Lawrence LAWRENCE, KANSAS, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1923 There is not more violence in America today—there are simply more newspapers. The next time you see a man and a woman in love, watch carefully which one twists the other around her finger. We don't die now as early and no often as we used to. Pescizism is the "morning after optimism. Any student will tell you that Horace and Virgil are much more alive than they deserve to be. Students today are rotten with freedom. Speech is important in the development of man. It has made him what he is—it has made woman what she is. I am a-sounded at the brilliant man of the world, who wears their manserviory skin. By rights they should be enclosed in black hordes, like the stationery which we carry. Will Be Discussed and Voter Upon by the Members at Meeting on Tuesday. Tuesday A new constitution for the W. Y.
