The Monthly Meeting Of scIeace Club
Held Monday Evening.
lFrom TRINITY Chronicle. J


Trinity Colleges scientific or
ganization, the Science Club.
held its regular monthly meeting
in the Physics lecture room in
Crowell Science Building last
Monday evening. Quite large
crowd was present, which shows
its increasing popularity.
Under the head of general
topics appeared the following pa
pers: "The Noiseless Cum" by
Mr.. F. N. Egerton, and "The
Making Of Gum Cotton" by Mr..
L. M. Jones.
The first OF the two lectures Of
the evening was delivered by
Prof. w. H. Pegram, of the de.
partmept Of Chemistry, on "l'ifty
Years Of Darwinism.n A shor,
sketch of Darwin's life was given,
which showed that he presented
very few signs Of brilliancy. But
by 1898 he had launched out on
his great work and by 1858 he
presented his first writing for
publication. II was noticed very
little and criticised but little. In
1859 he published his first book,
"The Origin Of Species" It was
bitterly fought by all the leading
scientists, and the men Of all
vacations. The substance Of the
book was that all species Of ami
mails at the present are derived
from species Of the remote past.
The doctrine Is commonly known
as evolution. Darwin caught the
idea that all life on the globe is
one process and is akin to all the
life Of prehistoric time. Thus
by variation he became grounded
in his belief. Then by expert
ment he studied the question a
great deal. The factors in eyolu-
tion are environment, natural
selection and survival Of the
fttest. In closing, the speaker
stated the view Of the modern
churchmen in regard to the theory
Of evolution which was that they
adopted il in some form or other.
Dr. w. l. Crawford Of the de.
partment Of Philosophy then
made a short talk on Evolution
and Psychology He said in
part that the growth Of Psyche.
logy had been an evolutionary
one, which was one ofthe changes
Of states Ct consciousness. Philo.
sophers every where now accep,
the scientific. view of evolution.
They do not attempt to explain
1t but only deal with Il as a fact
which is after all the duty Of Psy.
chology. Philosophy and Science
are nomore atemmity, but closely,
allied. In fact Science prepares
TIC way for Philosophy.
