nugget Of value in the proposal.' DR..

greatest possible means Of growth and
of inspiration. Nevertheless, there
should be permanent nucleus in uni
desirable that all of the faculty should
be identified with a university for life,
More changes would undoubtedly be
good for the men and for the institu-
tions. -..,
II should not approve of students
changing colleges as undergraduates
but when it comes to university training
I think the peripatetic idea a good
one.'' d. = -

which has the most important social and
political consequences. 1t needs to bt
supplemented by the teaching of the
new testament regarding the attitude
Of the strong toward the weak indi
vidual or nation. The fittest to survive
according to che new testament, are moi
the strongest nor the cunningest, blu,
those that are morally best. ~
