M TWO THE MICHIGAN DAILY TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1°23 PRESIDENT TAKS AT CPENINGCONVOCATION. (Continued from Page One) herited but that both could be correct- ed and are controllable. "There is also an intellectual force I opposing a straight spine. Intense study of the sciences often causes one to lose' his individuality. Anybody with any intelligence knows #hat thej law of cause and effect holds in the inner world as well as the outer world. I do not believe in fixity of. character and ability. All intellect- ual difficulties are overcome by walk- ing up to the fact. The preset change of ideals and overthrow of'in- stitutions of long standing is confus- ing even to a college student. Rev- erence is not very prominent in the world of today. Authority is being discredited on every hand. AnythingI that is,- is wrong. The whole gen- eration has become afflicted with men- tal curvature of the spine. These In- fluences in the world today influence student thought. Students haven't quite the patience to see that it takesi time to solve the problems of the world. They teiid to be influenced by the groups, and groups have no spine. Religion Deemed Imporlant "The third aspect of the situation takes us to the corrective measures for this situation. My fond dream is of a University where the curves are taken out. How can we get rid of these curves, of this supine agreement with ,the crowd? To get the moral curves out of our spine we must first be perfectly well physically. A su- per-physical power brings superb mental power. If we get the curves out of the physical spine we shall get them out of the mental spine. The University tries to do this. Second you, must have the right sort of hab- its. Habit mechnizes the whole life. Habit makes it easy to be good or to WI AT'S GOING ON Tuesdaly 3:00--Health lecture in Natural Sci- ence auditorium. 4:00-Neeting of entire staff and try- outs of Chimes in Michigan Un- ion.

You aie the picked one per-' cent of the world. Where are you heading. Is there purpose in your coming here? "One thing. we must learn. Truth is not tp be found only in your own head. 'ruth is that which accords with the great intendant fact which is everywhere. There is an objective out there that must be reckoned with. A sane person can also believe in re- ligion, friendship with all that is.* Be- ing a part of the grand totality of the universe-that is what I conceive to be religion.' ' Itelligent ,Ioice Essentf" i 'The president'concluded with a dis- cussion of the inherent dignity of the quality under discussion. He show- ed 'that the moral universe involves the possibility of choice. He said thatI the "highest distinction of life is the capacty for a choice, the power to re- duce a dual possibility to a single re alit!." His closing words were a plea for individuality, for true "Spine". "The student who misuses and therefore loses choice is on the road to death. Spine is indvdualty. . The great falure of education is in not emphacizing individuality. We must recognize that you are. Spine says. Be yourself'." T 1923-1924 LETUIiE COURSE INCLUDES TEN BIG N UINI F.
