SPIRITUAL LIFE IS
DR, FLINTS SUBJECT
CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES OF
LIFE EMPHASIZED
CRITICISES CHEAP VAUDEVILLE
1
The Third in the Series of "Know the
Univercity" Convocation Was
Held in Art Hall Text of
the Speech Follows
Dr. Fred M. Fling spoke on "Cultur
al Opportunities" at convocation, yes
terday in Art hall, the third of the
"Know, the University" convocations
Dr. Fling . emphasized the spiritual
side of life as against the physical and
materialistic. He plead for the devel
opment of the finer qualities of life,
for the cultivation of , an aesthetic
sense, for a greater generalization of
the true worth of the soul. Material
things soon decay, but the spirit is
eternal. He demanded that the stu
dents view life in its true and logi
cal perspective. The world is influ
enced and led by men with high ideals.
Students who devote themselves ex
clusively to the materialistic side of
life have very little chance of be
coming such leaders. ,
After he had established the neces
sity of the cultivation of the aesthetic
side of our life, Dr. Fling pointed out
what numberless cultural opportuni
ties there really are. Literature, mu
sic, painting, history, religion, the
drama, art in all its varied forms all
these cultural opportunities are within
easy reach of the University student.
The speaker said in part: "You may
look at life from two points of view;
you may look at life from the physi
cal point, or you may look at life from
the spiritual point. If there is any
think that is worth anything, in the
last anaylsis, it is the soul. The cen
tral thing of all is the spiritual life;
all other things are secondary. The
most important thing is the cultiva
tion of this spirit, and vigorously and
rigorously to shape our life in accord
ance with it. Conquest of space is
only important when it enables us to
accomplish something in the spiritual
world.
"Life ought to be purposeful. Some
people never think seriously of life
until theyjook upon the dead face of
someone who stood close to them. Re
ligion, at bottom, is not a thing of in
tellect; it is a thing of emotion.
The speaker rated people who "go
to a great play and who come away
less satisfied than if they had gone, to
some cheap vaudeville. If you prefer
ratr-tlme to classical music, the trou
ble isn't with the music; the trouble
is with you."
in conclusion. Dr. Fling impressed
upon the . students the necessity of
"seeing life in a larger way, quot
ing from "Tho Chambered Nautilus,"
the well known line, "Build thee more
stately mansions, O my soul . . "

GOAGII IS SILENT
ON THE SUBJECT
HAS NOTHING PARTICULAR TO
SAY ABOUT COMING FRAY
OLD STARS ANSWERING CALL
Flock to Lincoln to Help in Drilling
Huskers Loss of Shaw Keenly
Felt Eckersall to Referee the
Game with Notre Dame
Nebraska faces her first crucial bat
tle Saturday, when she meets Notre
Dame on Nebraska field. In answer to
Coach Stiehms' call, old ; stars are
flocking back to Lincoln to assist In
the work of preparing the Huskers
for the coming contest, the varsity
are . being drilled and exhorted be
hind closed gates at every practice
period.
Coach Stiehm is ominously silent
regarding Nebraska's chances against
the Catholics. The loss of Shaw
makes necessary the training of a new
man for one tackle position, taking up
time which should be devoted toward
perfecting maneuvers for the enter
tainment of the Catholic eleven. And
although the work of the team against
Washburn last Saturday showed im
proved form, it is not at the point of
development by any means at which
the Michigan Aggies found the Husk
ers of a year ago.
With the announcement of officials
for the game Saturday comes the infor
mation that Eckersall, Windy City au
thority on western football, will be
the chief judge of the proceedings.
This will give him a chance to see
both Notre Dame and Nebraska going
at good speed, and will probably de
termine one or two berths on his myth
ical eleven for the year. Eckersall
.hasn't expressed his opinion on. the
probable outcome of Saturday's game
yet, although he will probably deliver
his dictum before, he .takes a train
for Lincoln. Opinion among the Chi
cago sport writers generally seems to
be on the Catholic side of the argu
ment, although the Herald picks Ne
braska as her choice.
