CINCENTRATION URGED BY EPISCOPAL BISHOP President Campbell Sends University Message “Keep away from the border line of mediocrity,” was the warn ing contained in the address given by Bishop Walter Taylor Sumner at assembly yesterday. He advised the student of today to “dare to do mighty things” with the chance of failure rather than to belong to the great band which neither en joys nor suffers much because it knows neither victory nor success. Bishop Sumner characterized the present day as a period of recep tivity in which there is a tendency for the individual not to exert him self in self-expression, because he can get with little effort that which is much better, perhaps, than he himself could produce. “vWe are constantly receiving,” he said. “When we go to church we are prayed for and preached to —and we do nothing but sit tight. We foTget the other half of the ob ligation, which is to make use of a productive ability in self-expres sion.” Professor Hopkins Quoted! The speaker criticized the atti tude of what he called “pseudo philosophers” in assuming that it does not matter what a man thinks of religious matters. “You can not live on the border line and find it either satisfying or helpful,” he said. “Nothing is more important than a conviction.” he declared. He quoted Professor Hopkins of Dart mouth as saying that one of the greatest problems facing students today is that the student body is not thinking. Bishop Sumner did not consider the controversv between religion and science, which is occupying so much attention, to be essentially important. “Certain truths do not contradict religion,” he declared and added, “Do not be disturbed by arguments belonging in the realm of speculative thought. Con centrate your attention on things that are worth while in life.” Bishop Sumner upheld the youths of todav, attributing much criti cism of them to a difference in ideas of ethics and morals. “Each generation establishes, its own morals and customs,” he said, “and we must change our ideas of what conventionality is. I do not think you stand for lower things because you are less conventional as mea sured by the old standards.” Message From President Given However, the speaker ■ believed that conventionality is necessary as a safeguard when youth ap proaches the negative side of the border line of ethics and morals. Bishop Sumner paid a high trib ute to President Campbell, and de livered a message to the students from the head of the University. “When I spent an hour with him one afternoon this week,” Bishop Sumner continued, “he sand to me, ‘I wish you would say something to the young people for me. I wish that the young "people could realize that all that is art, and all that is beautiful is being expressed in the department of art in this institu tion; and that what we are trying to carry out in other departments of the University might appeal not only from the practical side but might appeal to them as of value' from a moral side. ’ » ATTENTION SENIORS!
