KELSEY The doctrine of Aristotle is not an entity, but rather a source of doctrines, Dr. Richard P. McKeon, Dean of the Division of Humanities of the University of Chicago, said yesterday be- fore the packed Amphitheatre of the Rack- ham School in the first of a series of lectures sponsored by the Graduate Conference on Ren- aissance Studies. Dean McKeon's :subject was "Aristotle in the Renaissance." Pointing out the various philosophies and schools of thought that grew out of the works of Aristotle and his commentators, Dean McKeon stressed the idea that Renaissance philosophers, whether favorably or adversely, made use of Aristotle in a number of ways, finding his writ Ings sufficiently ambiguous to draw from them in some way or other many of the conclusions they wished to reach and much of the logic they needed to reach them. There are, Dean McKeon asserted, three con- venient approaches to the study of Aristotle in the Renaissance. He named the relation of tlie Aristotelian philosophy to the Christian religion, the arguments growing out of the direct studies of Aristotle's writings and the controversies be- tween the supporters of the opposing schools of Aristotle and Plato. Speaking on the first of these topics, the lecturer mentioned the intricacies arising out of the questions of the relation of Aristotle to the truths of religion, and of whether he was in accord with the Christian doctrine on various matters. Dean McKeon cited examples of this debate from both the earlier and later phases of the Renaissance. The study of the original works of Aristotle, which came later in the Renaissance period, rather than the perusal through the eyes of other philosophers, gave rise to a good many controversies, an example of which Dean McKeon Appointments Lauded Since President Roosevelt chose wisely for the two posts, the Senate will promptly confirm the nominations of Jesse H. Jones and John W. Carmody as administrators, respectively, of the new large Government institutions, the Federal Loan Agency and the Federal Works Agency, Jones, the Texas banker, a personal crony of Vice-President Garner, has been an outstanding figure at Washington throughout the Roosevelt Administrations. An engineer accredited in his profession and experienced in industrial engineering positions, Carmody is advanced to the higher place from the chief directorship of the Rural Electrifica- tion Authority. Both rank as qualified men and rightists rather than leftists in the New Deal. In both cases, though in Jones' most clearly, the President seems to show respect for the temper of Congress on placing extremists in possession of far-reaching powers. These offices, in which the powers over lending and public Works are concentrated, are principal results of the authority to make reorganization of the Federal services given the President by the re- cently enacted Government Reorganization Act. Jones quickly won public confidence for his administration of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. In the greater office, he will ad- minister RFC's and all Government lending, in- cluding the addition if Congress approves the program of 3,860 millions of new loans. Th6 loaning has reached dubious proportions with- out taking on nearly four billions more. However, that fact strengthens the argument against put- ting an "easy money" New Dealer in chagre of loans, a thing which, according to a succession of reports, the President desired to do. -Detroit News Professor Pollock (Continued from Page 1) Most likely to feel the mailed-fist of Hitler soon, however, is Jugoslavia, Professor Pollock predicted. Since the annexation of Austria, this state, whose Prince Paul is already a Nazi sym- pathiser, is leaning constantly closer to the come-Berlin Axiis. An "impossible military position" coupled with "serious home political problems" makes it probable that Germany could take Hungary whenever she wished with- out serious opposition. The creation of a German Ukraine as the ultimate aim of Germany's aggression was sug- gested by Professor Pollock. The rich graineries and minerals of the region may well be the goal of the "Drang Nach Osten," he said. 0 " 0 ABOTAGE is an ugly word. It is one that should be used discreetly, but under present conditions of world affairs, sabo- tage is a possibility in international relations that must not be passed over too lightly. In the recent run of submarine disasters, though no evidence of intentional tampering has yet been discovered, the mysterious causes of each have aroused some curiosity. It would be rash to level charges of sabotage simply be- cause of the similarity and rapidity of the; accidents, but in the background are the cir- cumstances of the international scene and other. conditions that might make such action a dis- tinct possibility. During the decade prior to the Squalus inci- dent, only four major submarine accidents are recorded. Of these one was the result of a colli- sion with another surface vessel, and a second occurred while adjustments on the submarine's gear were being made. Yet between May 24 and June 16 of this year, three of the most modern submarines in the British,' French and United States navies sank, apparently because of mechanical failure. They contained all the safety devices known to their respective governments and were manned by crews highly trained in submarine operation, yet, "fate" singled them out rather than one of the older types in service. The physical cause for the Squalus disaster seems to have been definitely blamed on the failure of the main induction valve to close, yet. testimony indicates that lights on the control board showed that it was not open. Apparently both the closing mechanism and the indicator light had failed at the same time. Could this be a coincidence? Reports from the British Thetis tragedy state that the flooding of the forward compartments was caused by an open torpedo tube valve. A striking similarity to the Squalus incident. Turning toward the most recent of the three accidents, the French Phenix, we unfortunately find only a shroud of mystery. No survivors re- main, no contact was established with the ship and the vessel has only recently been found. Only this seems to be quite certain: it was not caused by a collision. The actual "fixing" of an undersea craft is a relatively simple matter, as may have occurred in this case. In this delicate type of craft in which -the perfect operation of every unit is required, the mere cutting of a few wires is sufficient to cause a major disaster if such work is done just prior to a crucial dive, as was the case in all three of these accidents. As for motives for such an act, if it were done in each of the disasters, there is first the fact that all three of the vessels, especially the Thetis and Squalus, were the most modern, largest and deadliest that their respective navies had on hand. Less obvious, but far more potent, are the in- direct effects of the series of disasters. With huge armament programs- booming in all major countries, unfavorable public sentiment on the; question of submarines would make itself felt when appropriations for new submarines are sought. Loss of confidence in the submarine in democratic countries may lead to decreasing use of the undersea craft All of these possibilities are vague and seem hardly plausible when given much attention. Still, the strange circumstances remain, and the world has seen far stranger steps taken in recent years in e -,Patnrml iviaglr anti struggle for gave in the argument between the Alexandri- ans and the Averroists. The Alexandrians, he said, opposed the Stoics in the doctrine of destiny and the sul, and the Averroists believed there was one soul for all mankind. Each, he pointed out, found support in Aristotle's writings, although nowhere in his works can be found any definite statements or even theories on the ques- tion on the soul. Throughout his lecture, Dean McKeon empha- sized the Renaissance controversy between the teachings of Aristotle and those of Plato; he cted as an example Platinus' differentiation, that the philosophy of Aristotle applied to the changing things of ordinary life, that of Plato applied to eternal things, and therefore, where the followers of the Platonic school could assim- ilate Aristotle, the Aristotelians were forced to refute Plato. The Renaissance, while in general opposing Aristotle though not as completely as is common- ly thought, brought on a quantity of paraphras- ings and translations of the philosopher's writ- ings, and a good many commentaries, Dean McKeon told his audience. One of. the major attacks, he said, was that of Platho in support of Plato, which brought forth in return various defenses of Aristotle such as that of Cardinal Bessarion, many of which tried to reconcile Plato and Aristotle, doing so usually at the ex- pense of Aristotle. In conclusion, Dean McKeon drew a parallel between the philosophical situation of the Ren- aissance and that of the present time and recom- mended an examination of Renaissance philos- ophy to explain the roots of our own period and as a laboratory for a study of the shifts and alp -tions of philosophical thought. The next lecture of the series will be given Monday, July 10, by Prof. Erwin Panofsky of the Institue for Advanced Study at Princeton Uni- versity, on "The Art-Theory of the Renaissance." Doing Gotham Michigan students don't give a hoot about eastern culture but they want to do Gotham up brown by seeing everything from Coney Island to the art museums, a questionnaire showed recent- ly. Seventy-six percent of those answering 10,000 of the questionnaires at Big Ten Universities, wanted, in fact, to "go every place and see every- thing" in New York. Results of these questionnaires circulated on the campuses recently will be used as a basis for the daily schedule of the "Big Ten" co-ed group which will hostess a national watch manufactur- ing firm's observatory on the fair grounds. Miss Marcia Connell, '39, is the University beauty who will represent her campus and welcome Michi- gan visitors to the New York Fair. Without a doubt, Michigan students visiting New York would have a unique and amusing slant on sightseeing, judging from the question- naires. While some would like to "swim out to the Statue of Liberty" or "see how long a bicycle rider would last in Broadway traffic," others desire an air ride over the city or to "just rubber- neck." Some would like to see Mrs. Astor's horse, take a bus ride up Broadway, or see push carts in the Ghetto. Others want nothing better than to "dine, dance and stuff." When it came to eating places, the average student would select restaurants with big names. However, automats, chain restaurants, foreign cafes and small restaurants "off the main drag", appealed to a large group. For the most part, eating places having "atmosphere," whether musical or scenic, were most popular. As for historical points to see, the Statue of Liberty towered high above Grant's Tomb, Tam- many Hall, Ellis Island, and Times Square. Many times mentioned were Trinity Church, Little, Church Around the Corner, and St. Paul's Cathe- dral. In the line of scientific, industrial, and busi- ness establishments, most mentioned were Radio City, Wall Street, newspaper plants, Empire State building, and radio studios. Points of general interest to see by day were Ellis Island, tenement sections, Coney Island, ship docks, Holland Tunnel, Fifth Avenue, and the World's Fair. By night the points of interest most desired were Chinatown, Broadway from a bus top, Greenwich Village, and again the World's Fair. A pretty definite idea of how to see "cafe society" was shown by the students. Fourteen well publicized dine-and-dance spots were "tops" for evening entertainment.bEspecially named were places with big-name bands.. When it came to distinguished people to meet, the vote went overwhelmingly for Mayor La- Guardia, Grover Whalen, and Michigan graduate Thoams Dewey. Others ranking high were Gov- ernor Lehman, Jimmy Walker, Al Smith, Dorothy Thompson, Joe DiMaggio, Orson Welles, Walter Winchell, Katherine Cornell and Billy Rose. One girl's hearts desire was to "see an escort bureau." As for the question, "What one thing yould you want most to do while in New York?" the con- sensus of opinion was to see the World's Fair and sightsee around New York City. Ed Hutchens has disappeared into the wilds of Milwaukee not to re- appear again until he joins his mates on the swimming team for their September exhibition jaunt through the British Isles. But just before the Hutch left his financial condi- tion was unhealthy. In fact he was dead broke, there was no one around from whom credit could be procured and he was living alone in the spa- cious confines of the Sigma Phi House. Now in the back of Sigma Phi is a mulberry tree and after two days of hunger the Hutch decided mulberries were probably an edible fruit or vegetable as the case may be, so one bright morning he breakfasted on a dish of them. Aside from feeling a bit silly eating the same food as a silkworm, he said, they were pretty good. Hutch's only complaint was: "I have to get out there early every morning and yell like *!$" to make those damn birds real- ize that I'm the guy that's living off those mulberries, not them." * * , It 'was the inimitable Hutch, inci- dently, who offered the following solution to a gracious lady who lives beside the Arboretum and was both- ered each morning by the merry chirping of birds at 4 a.m. "Just buy a bird bath," Hutch ex- plained after due thought. "Fill it with beer-four bottles would do the trick. Then you won't be bothered because the birds will drink the beer and no living creature, bird or beast, is going to get up at 4 a.m. if he's had four bottles of beer." * * * DOTS AND DASHES: Allan Sea- ger of the English department auth- ors the Scattergood Baines radio show you hear over Columbia... in his spare time he writes short stories, one of which always seems to appear in O'Brien's Best . . . a colleague, Carlton Wells, once was State Ama- teur Golf Champion . . . and won a prize for naming a theatre which was to be built across from the end of the campus near Drake's . . . that was the site of the old Arcade, which burned down in this city's biggest blaze in many moons . . .
