"If it is the fate of great ideas
to become cliches, it is the fate of
great men to become symbols,"
Prof. Bert J. Loewenberg began
in a talk given yesterday in Audi-
torium A, Angell Hall, on the sub-
ject of "Darwin, Darwinism, and
History."
Prof. Loewenberg, professor of
history at Sarah Lawrence Col-
lege and chairman of the Darwin
Anniversary Memorial Commit-
tee, was sponsored under the joint
auspices of the Academic Year In-
stitute and the Mental Health
Research Unit.
"The legacy of Charles Darwin
is the legacy of persistent inquiry,
and the, greatest tribute that can
be accorded him is engagement in
fresh examination," Prof. Loew-
enberg said.
Must Appraise Darwin
He continued, "The best way
to rescue Charles Darwin from
the oblivion of fame is to continue
to appraise the Darwinian im-
pact."
Prof. Loewenberg then proceed-
ed to describe some of the prin-
ciples Darwin originated. He said
"Darwin discovered the theory of
natural selection, he substanti-
ated the theory of evolution. He
created an hypothesis to explain
transmutation,- he documented,
the historyof the-edescent of liv-
ing forms."
The professor stated that Dar-

.. ,,evaluates Darwin
win's greatness came from hisl
ability to analyze obvious argu-
ments. He went on to say, "Dar-
win's conclusions are founded on
experience rather than on reason,
and are original but "not pro-
found"
Merger of Thought
"A powerful reason for Darwin's'
success," Prof. Loewenberg said,,
"is outlined in the merger of evo-
lutionary thought in biology and
evolutionary thought in Romantic
philosophy. Biological evolution
and romantic evolutionists united
to produce an historical age.
"In essence," Prof.,LMewenberg
said, "Darwin contributed to
widening the rift between the ri-
val claims of knowledge based on
the reason of mathematics and
the physical sciences and knowl-
edge based on the reason of his-
tory. He accomplished it," he
'continued, by demonstrating that
the laws of reason alone could not
explainrthe world of nature and
the course of evolution."
