DEAN REBEC TO SPEAK
IN AID OF ART MUSEUM
“Europe Five Years After” Subject of
Talk on Post War Affairs; Material
Drawn From Travels
Dr. George Rebec, dean of the grad
uate school of the University and head
of the department of philosophy, who
has just returned from a year and a
half spent abroad, will give a lecture
in Portland this evening on the sub
ject of “Europe Five Years After.”
This will be Dr. Rebec’s first public
appearance since his return to Oregon
and a large crowd is expected to fill
the Lincoln high school auditorium to
hear him, as his reputation as a lectur
er and observer of political and social
affairs is widespread.
JJunng nis travels abroad Dr. Rebec
spent considerable time on the con
tinent, investigating the internal po
litical situation in which he is greatly
interested, and his address this evening
promises to be full of first hand in
formation on the subject, as well as
his own predictions as to the outcome
of the unsettled conditions which have
prevailed in Europe since the war. His
talk will not necessarily be confined
to the continent, for he also spent some
time in England and is equally familiar
with political and social affairs there.
Dr. Eebec’s appearnace will be for
the benefit of the future art museum
of the University on the campus and
proceeds from the event will go towards
providing additional equipment for the
Murray Warner collection which at
present lacks sufficient space and pro
tection. The lecture is being managed
by friends of the University in Port
land, who report that the sale of tick
ets has been large and a big attend
ance is expected.

HOCKEY TO COME IN SPRING
Elimination of Mud Expected to Im
prove Game Over That of Fall
Although for the last three years
the University of Oregon has played
hockey in the fall term, it has been
made a spring sport this year, accord
ing to an announcement made from the
women’s physical education depart
ment. Heretofore, the hockey team
has been handicapped by a muddy field.
By making hockey a spring sport it
will vie with the other sports such
as baseball, horse-back riding, and
target practicing. According to those
in charge, a better hockey team is a
probable result of this change.

Modernism-Unitarianism
An Open Letter by Frank Fay Eddy
Modernism in the current usage of the
day seems to mean mental adaptation
to the scientific interpretation of facts.
It is a word which marks the color of
modern thought as distinguished from
the unscientific credulity which charac
terized the thinking of all but a few
philosophic minds, scarcely more than
a century ago. Like a rising tide mod
ernism has spread until it is almost im
plied as the mental attitude of every
'educated person and it has almost com
pletely captured all institutions of high
er education.
Incidentally but quite inevitably mod
ernism disturbed the ages-old assump
tions of religion, particularly that type
of Christianity which based its theology
on an inerrant scripture. Religious mod
ernism then means a mental attitude
which subjects Christianity to the same
j scrutiny as all other social institutions.
In other words, Christianity is not al
lowed any special privileges. It is sub
jected to the acid test of scientific in
quiry like everything else.
But this scientific inquiry into re
ligion and religious books and creeds
and beliefs does not destroy religion;
but rather gives faith a new setting.
Now Unitarianism because it had al
ready, on philosophic grounds, broken
with Evangelical Christianity, was, when
the new facts regarding man in a wider
universe were announced, not only free
to accept them but disposed to welcome
them. Hence, Unitarianism has provid
ed most of the leaders and practically
all of the shock troops in the advance
of Modernism in religious fields.
While the more apparent effect of
Unitarianism has been destructive, in re
ality it has been to a far greater degree
constructive or re-constructive.
The University is necessarily modern
istic in its teaching. It could not be
otherwise and sustain a worth-while rep
utation.
In our little Unitarian church on Elev
enth avenue we are striving to give an
interpretation of religion which accepts
Modernism. We invite all University men
and women to its services.
The Morning Service is at 10:45
each Sunday. This is the chief service
of the day. We have no regular even
ing .service.
The theme for next Sunday’s sermon
will be “Lives and Life.” The soloist
at this service will be Miss Johanna
James, soprano.
Because we would be a friendly
church and responsive to the noblest
ideals of humanity, we like to describe
our group as
