and luxuries gives last of lecture series sponsored by the university that complete happiness and a satisfactory philosophy of life can not be gained without a knowledge and appreciation of the past was stressed by earl l crum associate professor of latin in a lecture en titled can we abandon the past given last evening in packard audi torium this is the last of the uni versity lecture series lasting happiness cannot be found solely in modern luxuries and conveniences and that the bore dom which results from the super materialistic philosophy can only be cured by the development of cul ture which is based on history of both literature and deeds dr crum stated analyzes education the opening portion of the lec ture was devoted to an analysis of that part of education which should derive a large portion of its sub ject matter from the past there is much valuable material for study in the history and literature of the past which is often neglected as a subject of education dr crum said he added that many students come to college only to obtain a degree and entirely neglect the great opportunities which the col lege or university offers to those who choose to take them dr crum used soviet as an ex ample of the results of extreme ma terialism he said russia is mak ing production the chief object in the life of her citizens and these conditions although they may re sult in a temporary economic im provement will ultimately fail for they will destroy the individual he termed the soviet system mechanocracy and said that even the children's literature consisted solely of accounts of methods of production radio has potentialities radio has great educational po tentialities dr crum said but these possibilities are usually aban doned in favor of jazz and adver tising he used the professions of law and architecture and the study of language to prove that we cannot abandon the past the popalarity of museums and the painstaking re construction oi ancient works of art prove our love of the past we cannot turn our backs upon the past because man is made up of the past and we cannot change history literature is a very valu able source of human knowledge for a bit of verse can convey a pic ture of the past better than many pages of history he stated the different departments of the university are interwoven with each other and all are interwoven with the past dr crum concluded man lives in the present with thought of the future but our thoughts for the future are always dependent upon the past coming events wednesday march 29 8 p m meeting of the civil en

staying behind his more renowned opponent long enough to gain a 6:09 time advantage peery gave one of the smartest exhibitions of the eve ning martin throws england another spectacular match was that between george martin big six champion of lowa state and orville england southwestern teachers sophomore for almost two-thirds of the bout england had all the better of the going but martin's strength
