John Courtney Murray, ... speaks on religion "Modernity," the Jesuit con- tinued as he made fast philosophi- cal mileage, "has come to an end. The philosophical problem is to pass beyond modernity." New Problems Father Murray believes that there are new problems which "modernity" did not have to face. Formerly, people believed that pluralism was a good thing and the more of it the better. Con- structive movemepts today are directed toward unity and order. "Protestantism is no longer so proud of its multiplicities," the Catholic priest said, "and the Catholic Church now emphasizes 'the true Church that is one."'" The university is the creation of modernity, he said. But many people's commitments to modernity and its many, and varied ideals have given way now to a search for unity and order. How does this apply to a university? Clarify Pluralism Father Murray answered his question by explaining, "The uni- versity's task is to clarify modern pluralisms, to make them intel- ligible." The task doesn't sound simple, and it isn't. "Students," the priest explained, "are forced to be scien- tific naturalists In the classroom, whatever else they may be, some- what schizophrenically, outside the University." Canada House To Sponsor First Meeting Maple Leaf Night, featuring dancing and entertainment, will be held at 8:30 p.m. today at the International Center, according to Allan Tweddle, '60E, president of Canada House. This is the first large meeting of Canada House, a new Canadian student organization which is hop- ing to be recognized soon. Tweddle announced that the club will send a delegate to the Model United Nations at the Union tomorrow as one of its activities. "Such a club has been needed for a long time," Tweddle said, "to facilitate Canadian employmgnt at graduation time and to stimulate interest in Canada through group; activities in order to bring more Canadian courses to the Univer- sity. The group hopes to contact the 17,000 Canadian Alumni in order to create scholarships for study, here. Previously Canadians have visit- ed the International Center only to obtain I-20 forms which make for easy travels across the border, added Tweddle.
