Leaye Copy at at Quarry's and Students The Delta Supply Store ADVERTISING 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-{ self A DOGMATIST.

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 NOBODY HOME That Fox-Trotty Combination of Fast Fun, Joy and Elite Zip.

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.
