Leisure-Less Age
Seen Threat to
Modern Mankind

NoTRE DAME, Ind. - NC) =
Modern mans intellectual life is
threatened by the absence of leis-
ure, Notre Dame summer grad
yates were told this week.
Doctor William o. Shanahan, his
tory professor at the university
and commencement speaker, told
the 1853 graduates that thinking re-
quires quiet and the opportunity
for unbroken meditation. The pro-
fesSor asserted:
Despite our technology. despite
our gadgets. leisure is in short sup
ply. 1t is the most scarce commod-
ity in the world"
Dr. Shanahan conceded that
modern appliances and gadgets cre-
ate convenience, but not the real
leisure which is the basis of cul-
ture. He claimed that mans ration
al life is also threatened by two
other sources: "the mass culture
created by an urban chronological
age" and "a rootless, traditionless
inteliectualiSm which discounts the
heritage of classical and Christian
thought.
