Editor The Michigan Daily:
An editorial entitled "Dogma and
Radicalism," appearing in the Daily
of April 21 was, I feel sure, read by a
number of people who could but feel
surprise and even some alarm at its
contents-surprise because of the note
of ultra-radicalism which it struck,
and alarm because the ideas set forth,
since they appear in a non-sensational
college paper, must represent the
thoughts of an appreciable number
and not merely of one man.
One must admit, first of all, that
the writer of the editorial probably
did not intend to construct quite such
a startling sentence as the following
appears to be: "But whatever the
future is, the present public opinion
on the campus seems cynical about
letting musty regulation of any re-
ligious creed stand in the way of the
progress of new ideas intended for
the welfare of student life." It is
reasonable to suppose that this writer
had the welfare of student life at
heart when writing the editorial.
There are many of us, however, who
would question his valuation of vari-
ous factors of student life.
Let us start with the proposition
that we are all here to add to our
lives the best that we can find. Prob-
ably no student would admit that he
came here with the purpose of acquir-
ing the worst things that came to
hand, or even the mediocre ideals that
are often thrust at him. The ques-
tion thus resolves itself to a choice
of what is best.
The writer of the editorial under
discussion presents for our consider-
ation the Sphinx-Triangle and B. V.
D. parties and the Frosh Frolic, stat-
ing that "the party committees had
to forego any qualms about dancing
in Lent, much as the freshmen shoved
aside any Good Friday dogmas in
order that they might have a good
time." Thus we have a certain type
of student activity set before us with
the implied recommendation that for
the purpose of having a good time this
activity of questionable moral value
take precedence over certain long-
known, well-established customs un-
der the steadying influence of which
we have become a nation with a spirit
of brotherly love. Before hastily cast-
ing aside these dogmas in favor of lo-
cal traditions which have arisen dur-
ing the memory of many upperclass-
men, will you please carefully consid-
er what these same "musty regula-
tions" have meant to men during the
last eighteen centuries? They have
been the balance wheel which has
kept individuals and nations to their
more or less steady progress. If we
honor Lincoln, Washington and the
Declaration of Independence by cer-t
tain customs why not honor by cer-
tain well-founded dogmas the Foundert
of those methods of conduct which
made such men and noble utterancesI
possible ?
All that I ask is that those who be-e
lieve themselves to be here to obtain1
the best ideals, the best inspirationsf
and the best ambitions, will weighI
carefully the various ideas placed be-
fore them for adoption and "put first
things first," I believe that there is1
many a person who has thought the
question through to a conclusion who
would be as glad as I am to call him-{

A DOGMATIST.

New clothing seems to be necessary no
a-days to complete the celebration of East
And quite naturally so. Spring is brin
ing in her new znantle for the earth, the tre
and flowers, and even new coats for ma
animals.
We instinctively feel the change, desiri
likewise to throw off our Winter raiment a
garb ourselves in new and pleasing colors.
Your Easter suit or overcoat, if it bears I
FITFORM label, will please you especia
for two reasons: its rich, tasty stylishne
and the unusual duration of its rich, styli

THE RELIGIOUS FORUM
When Mr. Crowninshield arose in
the Massachusetts Senate years ago
and protested against the exportation
of religion on the ground that "there
was none to spare among ourselves,"
he put into a few words an idea that
is current on the campus today. In
everyday language the argument runs
like this: "There are plenty of uses
for our money and interest in the home
land and enough heathen in our own
neighborhood to use up our energies.
Why talk about religion and money
for the lands across the sea."
One answer to this question was
given by a Mr. White in reply to Mr.
Crowninshield's statement, when he
said that "religion is a commodity of
which the more we export, the more

we have remaining." The whole ar-
gument is summed up in the word
"selfishness." Whatever we possess
and keep to ourselves is bound to die.
Expression as one of the laws of life
has its pest illustration in the qual-
ities of character which are the out-
growth of th-e spirit which we call
truly religious. Narrowed and con-
fined by the personal and selfish spirit,
the quality of love becomes ,a mere
self-cultivation with its tendency to-
ward egotism. But with a widening
of interests and a desire to give, the
merely selfish becomes the generous
spirit which we call love.
The passing of Doctor Angell brings
to mind the figure of the counselor
and friend who so nobly personified
this spirit which finds its life in giving.

Given religion in the life of such a n
and it would be bound to express
self not only in pecuniary gifts,
in a spending of self for others in g
uine service. The life of our Pre
dent-Emeritus is a splendid exem
fication of the. teaching of our relig
that if we possess a good in life
cannot be satisfied until we have gi
it to our less fortunate fellows.
