HOLDS i. S. MUST
LEAD SPIRITUALLY
DR.. Pupin Tells G. w. U.
Graduates Washington Ex-
pected This of Country.

George Washington expected our
democracy to take the spiritual lead
ership of the world, and the world
today hopes that we will live up to
Washington's expectations, Prof
Michael /. Pupin of Columbia Univer-
sity and a noted scientist and author
told graduates of George Washington
University at the Midwinter convoca-
tion exercises yesterday afternoon in
Memorial Continental Hall.
OF the three fundamental activities
or the human soul, DR.. Pupin declared,
the spiritual is by far the most i'm
out religion" he said, cannot give
that completeness to human life
which our democracy demands"
DIR. Pupin denied the existence of
any antagonism between science and
religion. There are many persons
who do not hesitate to ask this ques-
tion-Does not the brilliant success
in our high endeavors in science dis
qualify US for similar endeavors in
religion?' They are, 1 am sure, nei-
ther scientists nor are they truly
religious persons. Science, the fine
arts and religion are the results of
the three fundamental activities of
the same human soul"
Fine Ideas Survived.
The noted scientist pointed out that
the ideals of George Washington and
the Pilgrim Fathers survived an era
of mate terialism and the chaos CT the
Civil War and were revived in
renaissance, a feature of which was
that university men transfused their
scientific idealism into industry.
Degrees were conferred on S3 stu
dents by the deans of the various col
leges. The ceremonies were opened
with a procession of the board of
trustees, university council and grad
uating class in academic dress, led by
President William Mather Lewis. Be-
fore introducing DR.. Pupin, President
Lewis announced the gifts to the in
stitution since the last convocation
and later urged strict obedience to
law and earnest pursuit of morality
when addressing the graduates. In
vocation was pronounced by Rev.
James L. McLain, pastor of Union
