Dr. Kluckholm to Continue
Montgomery
Dr. Clyde Kluckhofen, the 1949
Montgomery lecturer, will give
the second in his series of htree
lectures under the general title of
"Science and Values" on Wed
nesday, April 6, at 8 p. m., in
Love Library auditorium.
In the first of the lectures, given
Monday, Dr. Kluckhohn, profes
sor of anthropology at Harvard,
stated that some of the factors
contributing to the deflation of all
values are:
"The psychoanalysts have de
bunked 'conscience.' Some an
thropologists have claimed that
standards and values were en
tirely relative to the cultures
from which they derive. The
Marxists have maintained that all
moral theories are merely reflec
tions of economic stages and
class ideologies. The logal positi
vists have said that assertions
about value are simply meaning
less. "THE PURPOSE of these Ic-

to
ments, the physics professor will
limit his talk to those reports that
have been officially released.
Many of the reports will be used
in demonstrating the lecture.
Prof. Jorgensen was present at
the first atomic bomb explosion
experiment. His experience in this
field includes over three years
work with the development of
the first nuclear fission applica
tion. Following the talk there will be
a short business meeting. EE stu
dents will buy their Engineer's
Week banquet tickets from Paul
Albro or Howard Bechler. These
men will be introduced at the
meeting, according to an an
nouncement by Chairman Wil
liam Sorensen.

tures is both to show the incor
rectness of the view that science
has nothing to do with values and
the equal incorrectness of the
moral nihilism inherent in the
psychoanalysts, Marxian and old
er anthropological standpoint.
There is an alternative between
dogmatism and anarchy."
"Instrumental Value" will be
the topic of Dr. Kluckhohn's dis
cussion Wednesday, and "Ulti
mate Valcus" will be the topic
Friday.
The entire scries is free and
the public is invited. During the
week he will also give a number
of talks before classes and semi
nars. Dr. Kluckhohn is an outstand
ing leader in the movement to
improve the understanding be
tween nations through clarifica
tion of cultural differences.
HE IS the author of several
books. His latest, "Mirror for
Man," won the $10,000 Whittcl
sley I louse-Science Illustrated
contest for the best book about
science for the layman.
