Joseph Krutch: Drama Critic Emphasizes Need For 'Humanism' The most distinguished drama i critic of his generation 'rged a (University audience Tuesday eve-. I ning that more emphasis must be devoted to humanistic subjects. Speaking on "Wisdom versus Know-How," Joseph .Krutch la mented that since science "has been so tremendously successful that many people refuse to recog nize any subject unless it has a scientific answer." "But the unfortunate facts are," he said, "that there are Ao scien tific answers to many questions." He cited the classic example of the Atom Bomb. "Science can tell us how to make, but science can not an swer the questions of under what circumstances the A-bomb should be used and what people should be destroyed. There is no scientific answer possible. What we have to do is put more stress on the man and less on the atom." "The answer to this danger of over-emphasis on science lays in our philosophy, religion, etnieal Rathbone To Read Poems, Enact Plays Liformal discussions, the reading of several poems and the enacting-1 of parts from plays will highlight Basil Rathbone's visit to the Utu" ve-sity Friday morning. liathbone will appear Friday at 11 a.m. in the Howell Memorial Theater.

In an interview with the Daily i Nebraskan, Krutch emphasized I this danger that society faces in attributing "cure-all powers"; to i science. He used an example of doctors j in different social environments to ' emphasise this point. ' j "A doctor in America would ab- j hor experimentation With human beings, while a doctor of the Nazi Germany era thought nothing of mass murder." "The scientific method is accur ate only where measurement and experimentation can enter in. Ethical questions, which in reality j are tne most important questions faced by humans in life, cannot be measured or experimented with." ' Krutch will visit University classes through Thursday.

It is slow process," ilie concluded.
