attack having only five shots at goal one of which resulted in a score in the second half lehigh on the other hand had hurriefous opportunities but their shooting seemed to lack force and many were

another by prechtl after about fif teen seconds of play prechtl and r porter each added another to the score before the end of the half in the beginning of the second half columbia's attack showed more aggressiveness and their only score of the game was secured at this time after lehigh had added two more to their score through prechtl and r porter numerous substitutions were made the work of

sunday evening was addressed by prof w h davis head of the department of psychology prof davis based his remarks on lessons from the san francisco disaster the first lesson sug gested is that we belong to a nat ural order which is exceedingly old and on which we are dependent the second lesson is that we be long to a moral order in which we feel that our ideals are to be re spected nature however is pro foundly indifferent to human ideals she reveals no benevolent design nor does slle show any malevolence there are those who show an easy going optimism who believe that riothitig 1 can esist that is not right walt whitman says i find rio imperfection in nature neverthe less he who would live a noble life can not follow nature he must seek some larger sphere for na ture's first law the survival of the fittest is 1 cruel beyond measure and is not necessarily just the conflict of morality and na ture is not absolute morality is a native efflorescence of a cosmic process the same nature which has evolved man has produced the tiger and other destructive animals the brute nature and the moral tendency in man ever struggle for supremacy and it is not always cer tain which will predominate science has ho adequate solution for ethics it can only throw light on the subject by showing causes and interrelations ideals are in their very nature such that their values are intrinsic morality is its own excuse the great lesson to be gotten from the struggle of " morality against nature is that the objective factor of experience in life consists in adjusting oneself to nature there
