Subjcct to delusions, contends Miss Robertson, are the legion of American writers who in the last decade lave pronounced that it is all over or religion, presenting, among other auses, the increasing atheistic attiude in our colleges. "I am convinced," she writes, "that lie characteristics of the recent religous period had their natural terniilation in agnosticism and that the imc is right for the emcrguncc of a inn-Christian movement, realistically ind dynaniically adapted to this age. "At the present time the college stulent often finds himself empty-handed ind not a little bewildered where piritual matters are concerned. Religon is too often presented to him in llusions that shrivel when brought n the sunlight of modern knowledge ind criticism. " The new liberal movements are too ar on the religious frontier to have cached him yet?to have reached even lis church leaders who for the most >art are blithely unconscious that a eligious revolution is in process. His dd rebellion has given way to the leed for a positive philosophy which ic has not yet found. "Of religion he sees only wreckage: md as long as his leaders continue to mint to that wreckage as the way of alvation, there will be no clearing way of debris for reconstruction. "Atheism, agnosticism and cynicism vere the transitional characteristics of he period between the best of Grecotoman thought and the advent of "hristianity, and they appear to be the lenaltv this generation is paying for iving in a like period." Other points discussed in the article re: the decline amongst the educated lopulace of all forms of churchly pracices; the complete obeisance of religrm to science after an historic tradiion of contradiction and conflict: and he transference of emphasis from lieological to sociological dogma in lie more active and liberal Christian roups. i The Gamecocks are Ge COLUMBIA DAIRIES M Phone 3171 A Kind i > and J.

C. P.) Characterizing the current practice of the federal government in giving aid to every needy student as "little less than deplorable," Dr. Tyler Dennett, president of \\ illiams College, has refused FF.RA aid for students attending the institution which he heads. Dr. Dennett's chief objection to the I* F.RA was that it would, in his opinion, eventually he harmful to the college by'placing it in a position of dependence upon the government and that it would inflate the annual budget of college finances, a budget, "that on the whole should he readjusted to existing conditions." "1 find it also difficult to square the plan with a very definite impression that there is in this country at the present time a larger proportion of college-trained nun than can be absorbed in the channels of the professions. It would probably be a considerable aid to college education in the country if the total college enrollment was reduced. The effect of that would be that only the superior men needing aid would reach college and for them there is certainly available in a great many colleges such as Williams sufficient funds in the form of scholarships, the income of which is derived from private donations and endowments. In short, what appears to be needed is not more college graduates but fewer and better ones. " I he I* I'.RA aid to college students appears to rest upon the assumption that every student not in college and in financial need is worthy of federal aid. The assumption appears to be unwarranted by the facts. Many students now enrolled in college may be tolerated so long as they maintain certain minimum standards of scholarship and deportment, but to be worthy ol the exceptional status of receiving aid from the government of the I'nited States they should be required to meet exceptionally high standards such as the I'liRA does not require and can"THE MARINES ARE COMING" ?Featuring-?
