Latin Is Practical Dr. Lind Has Found
"Latin has a practical use in my life," says Dr. L. R. Lind, professor of Latin and Greek.
Dr. Lind has received an appointment for the summer of 1959 as research professor in the history of medicine at the University of California at Los Angeles. His research in Renaissance Latin will be done in medical books and manuscripts in both public and private libraries.
Dr. Lind does translations for the Humanities 51 course and teaches several Latin courses each semester. He has translated two Greek plays and much Latin poetry into English.
His most recent work has been English translations of Renaissance Latin anatomy. In 1950 Dr. Lind completed a translation of Versalius" "Epitome," a dissecting manual.
Minister Tells of Mature Religion
The characteristics of a mature religion formed the basis of a discussion Sunday night by the Rev Dr. Ernest W. Kuebler, president of the International Association of Religious Freedom.
Dr. Kuebler spoke before a meeting of the Uitarian Fellowship of Lawrence in the Kansas Union Javhawk Room.
"There are three basic elements of all religions,' he said. "Each religion contains a moral code, a metaphysical faith based on a world view of the ultimate nature of things inherent in the way religion develops, and the manner of worship, such as the set of symbols by which people worship." The latter is the most obvious of the three, he said.
Among the aspects of the climate in which a religion may become mature are the organizations, or society, considered essential, the education of religious possibilities now widely available, and the protection of youth from mass pressure thus teaching it to be individuals in a world often dominated by mobs. Dr. Kuebler said.
He said a mature religion should be honest; one which begs no inspection and encourages no self-deceit and should be capable of dealing with man's emotions
"Further," he said, "it should be more and more free. that is, less bound by tradition and geography, and should encourage responsibility."
He said a clue to how a religion becomes mature today is in its knowing how to deal with those who dispute the passage and manner in which it is accomplished.
Closing, he said the maturity of a religion must be determined not only by its leaders but more so by the people who have faith in that religion.

The translation of the "Epitome" into modern English has been called an important event in the history of medicine and a step toward making all the medical classics available to modern physicians.
Dr. Lind is now reading proof on an English translation of Berengario da Carpi, a short introduction to anatomy. The book will be published by the University of Chicago Press in April.

A different kind of request has come to Dr. Lind from a California woman who raises chickens. The woman has asked for a translation of 160 pages on chickens from Aldrovandus' book on "Animals."
Both Latin and Greek give a valuable historical perspective to the student of the humanities, Dr. Lind said. The enrollment in the department has increased from 50 students in 1940 to 250 in 1958. "We have four teachers in the department and need another one," Dr. Lind said.

IS STUDYING NECESSARY?
Each night after dinner Walter and Casimir and LeRoy went to their room and studied English lit. For three hours they sat in sombre silence and pored over their books and then, squinty and spent, they toppled onto their pallets and sobbed themselves to sleep.
Once there were three roommates and their names were Walter Pellucid, Casimir Fing, and LeRoy Holocaust and they were all taking English lit. They were all happy, friendly, outgoing types and they all smoked Philip Morris Cigarettes as you would expect from such a gregarious trio, for Philip Morris is the very essence of sociability, the very spirit of amity, the very soul of concord, with its tobacco so mild and true, its packs so soft and flip-top, its length so regular or long size. You will find when you smoke Philip Morris that the birds sing for you and no man's hand is raised against you.
This joyless situation obtained all through September and October. Then one November night they were all simultaneously struck by a marvelous idea. "We are all studying the same thing," they cried. "Why, then, should each of us study for three hours? Why not each study for one hour? It is true we will only learn one-third as much that way, but it does not matter because there are three of us and next January before the exams, we can get together and pool our knowledge!"
Oh, what rapture then fell on Walter and Casimir and LeRoy! They flung their beanies into the air and danced a schottische and lit thirty or forty Philip Morrises and ran out to pursue the pleasure which had so long, so bitterly, been missing from their lives.
Alas, they found instead a series of grisly misfortunes. Walter, alas, went searching for love and was soon going steady with a coed named Invicta Breadstuff, a handsome lass, but, alas, hopelessly addicted to bowling. Each night she bowled five hundred lines, some nights a thousand. Poor Walter's thumb was a shambles and his purse was empty, but Invicta just kept on bowling and in the end, alas, she left Walter for a pin-setter, which was a terrible thing to do to Walter, especially in this case, because the pin-setter was automatic.
Walter, of course, was far too distraught to study his English lit, but he took some comfort from the fact that his roommates were studying and they would help him before the exams. But Walter, alas, was wrong. His roommates, Casimir and LeRoy, were nature lovers and they used their free time to go for long tramps in the woods. One November night, alas, they were treed by two bears, Casimir by a brown bear and LeRoy by a Kodiak, and they were kept in the trees until mid-January when winter set in and the brown bear and the Kodiak went away to hibernate.
So when the three roommates met before exams to pool their knowledge, they found they had none to pool! Well sir, they had a good long laugh about that and then rushed to the kitchen and stuck their heads in the oven. It was, however, an electric oven and the effects were, on the whole, beneficial. The wax in their ears got melted and they acquired a healthy tan and today they are married to a lovely young heirs named Ganglia Bran and live in the Canal Zone, where there are many nice boats to wave at. © 1929 Max Shuimaan
And here's a wave at you filter smokers. Have you tried Marlboro—same fine flavor, new improved filter and better makin'—made by the makers of Philip Morris, sponsors of this column?
