Chicaao Dean Tells Students That
Modern Man Can and Will Have
to be Religious.
The modern man and religion was
the theme of the addiess by Dean
Shailcr Mathews of the Univer.-dty cf
Chicago divinity school at the Friday
morning convocation at th'j Templ
Dean Mathews was Introduced by
Chancellor Avoiy who said tiu.t the
university has a religious function to
perform and is doing it through ti e ;.id
of the university pastors. Koiigl.in in
t'.:c past has influenced tirj work of
many great men and In accomplished
many things. .Men of the type of Dean
Mathews are continuing th! wo k of
the past.
Speaking from the title "Can Mod
ern Man he Religious' ttie dean called
attention to the conservative type of
person who would have men become
as mummies. This, he said, is net
(rue conservatism. The true conserv
ative is an idealist who extends the
txpe. iencus i f tiie past that have
proven tue to the present.
"Modem man's sympathies are with
the forces that are goiiiK to be in the
future. He measures t:re in the terms
of buccessive generations. The par-.ei.ti-.l
and the younger generation no
longer understand each other, uuuj
advice to the young is not heede-.'
now. But we ought to respect tiie
coming generation for they a;e the
ones that rule the world in tiie future
"Are the new generation of i-tudento
materialistic and non-religious? The
altitude of rank materialism has put
the world in its present bad condi
tion. Europe is in au awfui state.
Those who have viewed the present
conditions there sta;e thai anoihei
war is inevitable. Russia is in a ter
rible conditions and it rs impossible
to confine her destructiveness to her
own borders. America must furnish
new ideals to Europe. We aie the
only normal group of vr.y importance
in the whole world and we must have
some message for tlu.-m besides 'kep
out.' The disarm? mcnt conference
must not turn into another Veisailles
peace conference. It must not fail.
"Rabson the authority on figures,
ha.i said that if people were religious
they would grow rich. This really
means that the Christian condition is
the -ily one in which the .voiid can
he prvscei ous,"
The speak-v Pilled i'iit men such
as Voltaire end Xrpoleon who can not
.Avf bo-'u ' oiled rol'.yUi;' in any sense
have recognized God. The law is that
the nation that represses personal
value is the one that goes tc the wall.
Rome and other ancient empiies
proved this. The students of today
are the ones that are going to make
the woild of tomorrow. It will depend
on them to trust God and introduce
spiritualism into the world, Dean
Mathews believes.
Social Mortality.
The idea that group or social mor
tality is not possible was disclaimed
by the speaker who pointed to the ad
vance of the negro in civilization.
There is a great lack of hope in the
world today, he stated. Most of the
best books written now-a-days are pes
simistic, as are nearly all the playu.
The movies, however, which must
please the people, still have the end
of the picture come out light. Any
man who stands for hope today has a
hard job on his hands, for he must
csTry several pessimists on his back.
Man can hope, in the proportion Ihr.t
he Is religious.
The dean scoffed at the idea held
by some persons that in order o he
religious one must be us n-ar de?d
as ore can be. He Mat"d that if we
do net hiins Idealism into the world
Homeoiio will bring materialism.
One can not be Indiffeient to the
condition of the world. Vicarlus woik
will not do. The fathers have carrird
the best results of their experience
to the modern day and the piesent
generation must have the faith to
carry them out.

Ail vice was sought from the faculty
members as to the soundness of the
plans adopted at a meeting held last
Tuesday in Ellen Smith hail which was
attended by the officers of most cam
pus organizations. In brief these
plans were:
The publishing of a series of ar
ticles in the Daily Nebiaskan on sal
ient phases of the problems to be
considered by the Washington con
ference. These articles to be prepared
by faculty members. It was sug
gested that a series of such summaries
of the situation would aid students
in forming an intelligent opinion upon
the issues.
2 A mass meeting at whitn
speeches would be made by foreign
students at the university on how
their countries were invovled in the
problems to be taken up by the con
ference.
3 A mass meeting at which a
speaker of international reputalioi
would deliver the principal address.
The first and third suggestions
were adopted.
Prof. Senning in Charge.
It was suggested after some dis
cussion that one of the most effective
m- thods of creating and stimulating a
(student opinion would be to senu
faculty members as speakers to the
fraternities, sororities, literary socie
ties and ail other student organiza
tions desiring them. The faculty mem

Enter Oxford in October
The man selected from the state of
Nebraska will enter Oxford Univer
sity next October with senior rating
in the English University. This is a
permit granted Rhodes scholars re
lieving them of the necessity of tak
ing the entrance examination required
of English students. Rhodes scholars
aro not exempted from 'taking the
final examinations.
Examinations at the Oxford Univer
sity differ greatly from those in Amer
ican schools. At the completion of the
year, an examination is given over a
the entire year's work. This is both
oral and written and extends over a
period of three days. Then, at the end
of the entire course at Oxford, an ex
amination is given to find out what
the students have learned in their
time at the college. Students special
ize In one subject, usually, and the
examination covers all phases of this.
The examinations are not conductec"
by the professors of Oxford or the
school which the student has attend
ed. Instructors from ether English
Universities are called in to conduct
the quizzing so that the students have
little chance of knowing what will be
asked.
