America Must Develop A Philosophy
To Become Great, Says Meiklejohn
Americans as a people are by mere
external destiny fated to be great,
but whether our career shall be a
great achievement or a great catas
trophe, depends upon our develop
ment of a philosophy, says Prof. Al
exander Meiklejohn, of the Univer
sity of Wisconsin philosophy depart
ment, in a brochure just published by
the American Library Association.
"Nothing in human life," says
Prof. Meiklejohn, "is more terrible
than that a man or a group of men
should have power which they do not
know how to use, should be masters
of a situation which they cannot com
prehend, and today that terror is up
on us who are Americans. I, for one
am certain that America has not yet
achieved a philosophy, but I am al
most as sure that she has one in the
making.
To illustrate his view of American
philosophy, Prof. Meiklejohn at
tempts a definition in relation to the
fight about evolution and religious
warfare, "a current discussion which
has in it possibility for great good
and for ill."
That controversy, he believes, may
also serve as the occasion for the
taking of the next step in the devel
opment of intelligence as a people.
He says that when men are spirit
ually alive they are never free from
just such controversies, whether the
issue be slavery or wages, or the dam
nation of infants, but, he asks, what
hope may we have of - right dealing
with them?
Then he follows with the contrast
between the critical reflection of the
philosopher, and "the common way
of dealing with controversies the
way of warfare, the way of voting,
and the way of compromise, which by
themselves seem to me to lead to fail
ure and confusion.
"These three differ from each oth
er but they are alike in one essential
respect they attempt to settle a
controversy without understanding it.
And, alike they can reap the futility
which is the proper fruit of their pro
cedure. "If an opinion is forced by fight
ing, more fighting soon will be need
ed; if an opinion is enforced by vot
ing, men will soon be voting to deter
mine what it was they voted about;
if an isBue is decided by compromise,
more compromise soon will be de
manded and each in turn will be
found ineffectual."
Pointing out further the weakness
es of fighting and voting as methods
of searching out the truth, Prof. Mei
klejohn says that a contrast with set
tlement by compromise, most clearly
reveals the value of philosophy. He
cites the controversy over the cre
ation of the world, as representing
one of the most dangerous tendencies
in current thought and action."

The geologist measures the time of
the making of the world in millions
of years, while the Bible describes
the world as made in six days. But
the "compromisers" hurdle this diffi
culty by saying: "If one is willing to
regard a 'day' in the Bible as mean
ing the same as a 'million years'
in the geologists' computations, then
the contradiction practically disap
pears. "But the trouble is, that under
such treatment, not only the differ
ence of opinion but also the opinions
themselves seem to disappear. If
words can thus transfer their mean
ings if a day can mean a million
years then God may be the devil,
and atheism may mean that the moon
is made of green cheese. The essen
tial defect in this method is that those
who are trying to 'get together are
still, at heart, enemies.
"Religion is, on the whole, at a
disadvantage. The fundamentalists
see old beliefs scattered to the winds
unless they submit themselves to the
compromise of 'proper interpretation'
Religion seems able to hold beliefs
only concerning those matters which
science has not yet touched. We are
driven to ask the genuinely tragic
question : 'Has religious belief any
proper evidence at all; is it simply
a form of credulity, a kind of faith
which men hold in a field in which
no proper basis of belief is yet avail'
abe?'
"It is from such tragic experiences
as this that the spirit and attitude
of philosophy develop. Philosophy is
always an attempt of the mind to rise
out of intellectual defeat.
"As new accounts of the external
world come into being, .the mind

Colonel Jewett has issued a general

"I don't know what your custom
here is," said the Colonel, "but I do

this day in the Army. I hope that
every man In the R. 0. T. C. takes
this order to heart." I
The order is as follows:
1. The following instructions
have been received from the War
Department:
"You are directed to bring to the
attention of every officer and en
listed man in your command, the de
sire of the Secretary of War that
each officer and enlisted man write a
letter to his home on Mother's Day,
the second Sunday in May, May 9,
1926, as an expression of the love
and reverence we owe to the moth
ers of our country.
By order of the Secretary of War:
ROBERT C. DAVIS,
Major General,
The Adjutant General."
2. It is enjoined on all members
of the R. O. T. C. unit to comply
with the above instructions. In
structors will call attention to this
order in all their classes.
