HOLDS EMPHASIS WEEK WEATHERFORD TO SPEAK Prominent Leader In "Y" Work Will Be Here For Religious Week Dr. W. D. Weatherford, who is a prominent figure in the program work of the Y. M. C. A. in the South, is to be at the University this week. During the week, special emphasis is to be laid on the religious life of the students. When Dr. Weatherford was appointed secretary of the student Y. M. C. A. in I the South, there were only two employed student secretaries and only 25 or 30 student associations in the South. By 1919,-when he resigned, there were 25 iinployed secretaries and 65 associations. The j-esult of his work is seen in this growth. He was diractly responsible for the acquisition and development of f Blue Ridge as a student Y. M. C. A. camp. L He superintended this entire venture and made Blue Ridge into the most beautiful :amp of its kind in the United States. Dr. Weatherford is also an important ! figure in social work. He was the first to investigate negro life in the South. He has written volumes dealing with this subject, the most important of which is, "Negro Life in the South." By his efforts money was raised to mild and equip the Southern Y. M. C. A. Graduate School, of which he is pres- i ident. He is known around the world j as one of the outstanding personalities in Y.

NEW YORK RABBI . SPEAKS IN CHAPEL1 SUBJECT: SCIENCE VS. RELIGION r Counsels Students Against Be- j coming Perplexed By Incompatabilities of Torah Although scheduled to talk on "Why I I am a Jew" Rabbi Nathan Krass, of ^ the Fman-u-El Temple of New York ^ City, addressed a small but enthusiastic a group on the pregnant topic "Can ^ Science Take the Place of Religion?" in (| the University Chapel Wednesday night. "Practical science deals with all those ^ things which have to do with the com- a fort, health, and happiness of mankind, and it is this branch which is slowly sap- v ping religion of some of its prerogatives, j With the sole exception of Clrrifctian Science, religion is no longer used in the t healing of physical ailments. , "Antitoxin is rapidly taking the place s of religious incantations in effecting j. cures, and some say that Science will a ultimately take everything from and j change the churches and synagogues into laboratories and hospitals. s "Religion in its deepest universal sense t is man's greatest adventure in quest of c the highest spiritual values, which are s symbolized and realized in a God." Thus Science may check for a while, c but can never stop man from going on s in his divine search. Man will always r seek the highest and best, and will never \ be satisfied with less because he will \ always be pricked by spiritual prompt- p ing?. 1 The speaker then proceeded to give his ] idea of Christianity as a Jew unprej- j udiced and unblinded in his conception. He declared that the essence of Chris- f tianity is the personality of Jesus. "Take ^ that away and religion is robbed of all t its potency and power of leadership."

Alumni from .11 over South Carolina and many nearly states will converge on Columbia to iclp make this affair worth while. The -ity of Columbia through Mayor Owens las issued a formal invitation to all the eturning grads. The highlight of the program will be lie Carolina-Sewanee football game vhich begins at 3.30 on Melton Field. The program for the alumni begins at 2 o clock with an informal luncheon it Steward's Hall. George Bell Timmernan of Batesburg, president of the as- , ociation, has no definite program >lantied but will call on the men presnt to speak. The proposed stadium is expected to >e the main topic of discussion at this neeting. The preliminary committee will nake its report at that time. This comnittee consist of A. F. McKissick of jreenville, Edwin H. Lucas of Chester, idwin G. Seibels of Columbia and New fork, John Roddey of Columbia, J. Ross V ianahan of Charleston, and Leroy Lee >f Kingstree.

An active committee will be chosen it the meeting to plan a definite program which it is hoped will result in the instruction of a modern stadium. Alhough the athletic program of the University is seriously hampered by the ack of adequate seating space it will robably be some time before any definite innouncement can be made.

Beginning his discourse by proving hat a sense of humor is the most charcteristic characteristic of the American lation he expounded on the qualities vhich differentiate it from the brand of lumor indulged in by various nations. These include the irreverence which is iniversal in American wit, the grotesque nisspelling and incongruity of cxpresiion, and the homely philosophy And lome-spun wisdom which Josh Billings, i premier American humorist, called lorsc sense. Dr. Babcock declared that America's itandard of the ludicrous was caused by he unparalleled diversity of types in this :ountry?particularly the varied charicters of the Mississippi and early west. The fear of being laughed at is inher'nt in human nature. The professor tated that we are as good as we are, lot through fear of the law but through ear of being ridiculed. He concluded >y saying there were three types of peo>le who never got in trouble: those in ove, a fat man, and a good laugher. ?atc never deserts a man as long as he lolds on to his sense of humor. He ended by quoting Artemus Ward's amous advice: A man ought to live vithin his income if he has to borrow 0 do it. % Musical selections followed the speech. 1 he first of these were two songs by ,Villiam Boorer, accompanied by Miller Simpson, who next obliged with twa Chopin valses.
