As for individualism itself, he says that each is a part of the whole, and owes individual development only to the good of the race, not to the self ish purpose of getting all you can out of life, at the expense of others. The race is made up of individuals, and in the proper development of the in dividual lies the secret of perfection of the race. Eucken takes up the principle of higher and lower values in life. There are things distinctively good and things as distinctively bad; there is the level Qf the senses, and then the highest level,—that of mind or spirit. Man in his early life is the supreme development of the animal; he has the spiritual to gain. He may gain a personality and be a distinct individual, or not. But only in the de velopment of personality and the striving for the higher life, lies the hope of immortality. Universities Have High Mission. As to the development of this ! higher plane, President Campbell i said: “Eucken would say that the universities should deal with the higher things of life. It is the busi ness of the university to reveal to the student the presence of a will; the thing that makes him an individual in the race.” Eucken believes there is absolute truth, and that things work well be cause they are true, and applicable to everyday life. He says to reach truth through living it. He believes there is no need of depending on the intellect, and really logic will not prove truth, because it will often prove things absolutely contradictory. Logic leads to fatalism, and he be lieves in freedom and says: “Try your fatalism, and then freedom., and see which works best and gives most hap piness.” He believes that truth is life itself and that the proof is in living it. Activism flood Working Theory. Concluding, President Campbell said: “Eueken would weld into one working philosophy all the good points of each theory. And after all, wouldn’t it make a pretty good life? Win a knowledge of truth by living it. Then gain personality through the truth thus revealed. Acquire an abundance of knowledge and a desire to get it. Avoid death by accident, that is, by unnecessary and destruc tive elements to come into your body. Develop an aesthetic sense, an appre ciation for all that is beautiful. Ac quire social virtues and love for man; gain a larger outlook, and a religious attitude toward the whole universe. And finally, comes the love of God. and reverence. Wouldn’t that make j a good life? The great men of the race have, in the main, had these , things.” | MANY OltEGON GRADS NOW IN LEGISLATURE (Continued from first page.) team which won from the University of Washington. C. L.
