Belief in God
Necessary for
Success, Dodge
Average Student Doesn’t
Believe in Personal
Diety, He Thinks
Courage o f Convictions
Urged by “Y” Worker
Why (lo young people and older
people go wrong? What does the
average university student think of
God? Does he think of a God or my
God? These were some of the ques
tions advanced by Harry E. Dodge,
secretary of the Fall River (Mass.)
Y. M. C. A., in a lecture at the Y
hut last night.
“Young people and older people
go wrong because religion has no
large place in their lives. One must
give religion a place in life,” Dodge
declared.
“When one speaks of a personal
God, he is talking language that
the average college student doesn’t
know.” When Mr. Dodge heard this
statement made by one of his friends
he disbelieved it. At the time he
had a son who was attentding the
University of Illinois, and he asked
him about it. After talking with
many of his friends on the way to
and from the campus, his son de
cided that the statement was true,
Dodge said.
“What do you think of God? Do
you think of a God or my God?”
the speaker asked, pointing his fin
jger at the audience. “Christ IfT
worth more to me than he ever was
in my life. Cultivate the presence
of God. It’s a matter of faith. But
give God a chance and if I come
back 25 years from now and see
you in the audienne you will be
among the successful men and wom
en in the community,” he said, tell
ing of the success which many fam
ous business and professional men
had met, through God
A high type of morals, certain
convictions for which one stands,
and a conviction of a personal God,
were three things which Mr. Dodge
held necessary for a successful life.
Success doesn’t mean dollars. Forty
millionaiires who were questioned
about money and happiness, declar
ed that a man who couldn’t be hap
py without money could not be hap
py with money. We all want to be
successful, but money will not make
us happy, Dodge declared.
“You university students, cspec
ially, need a high type of morals
And the University and the town
need leadership. Every place needs
more leaders,” he said.
“Be honest with yourself,” the
speaker urged. “One must studj
after he gets out of college. You
have to compete with men in Yale
anel Harvard and . universities all
over the country, therefore be lion
est in your studies and give yoursell
a square deal.”
“Have certain convictions anc
stand for them. You will suffer foi
your convictions, but you will win
in the end. It is hard to do when
the crowds go the other way. The
hardest thing to do is to tell the
truth. A lie is never justifiable,” hi
declared.
“Give yourself a chance to dc
something for someone else,” Dodg<
urged, in concluding, “(live God s
chance and you will come through.’
The speaker was introduced b\
.Tack Hempstead, varsity debater
who also announced a lecture bj
Lincoln T. Wirt, writer, publisher,
and secretary of a national council
for the prevention of war, to be giv
'<,n in \ illard hall, Tuesday evening,
November .10. 11 is subject will be,
“Eight Years After the War.”

College Students Not All Perfect,
Just as Fathers Aren’t, Says Leader
Robert E. Dodge Sees No Let Down in Spiritual
Life of Modern Young Man
The great majority of college stu-1
dents of today ring just as spirit- .
ually true as did those of yester
day, emphasized Robert E. Dodge,
recently retired Y. M. C. A. secre
tary, of Fall River, Massachusetts.
This idea that youth is rising to
throw off fundamental standards
being wrong, he thinks.
“If anything makes me see red,”,
he continued, “it’s this loose news
paper talk and conversation by 40
vear old men in Pullman cars, hotels
and clubs that college youths, in
general, are going to the devil. It’s
a damnable lie. Of course there are
some fool college students. Why
shouldn’t there be when they have
fool fathers! Of course there are
some college students who drink.
Why shouldn’t they when their
fathers and other men of their
father’s ages drink?”
The big business on Main street
in industry and professional life
is paying more hard cold cash to
day for character than ever before,
Mr. Dodge pointed out, an example
being the Metropolitan theater of
New York which, in hiring ushers,
stresses physique, education, person
ality and especially character. Young
men and women, he continued, are
bonded by surety houses on char
acter.
“One of - the greatest forces for
good today is amateur athletics in
college,” he commented. “If the
ethics of amateur sports in college
could dominate the business of to
day, the whole plane of business
would take a great rise.”
Mr. Dodge, after 36 years as Y.
M. C. A. secretary at Fall River,
Mass., retired October 2, 1926. On
this trip he plans to travel 9500
miles and to deliver 200 addresses
in eleven weeks. During the World
War he travelled 20,000 miles, visit
ed 50 army camps and naval bases
and spoke 185 times.

have not been secured before from
this coast except in two or three
isolated cases; one, which Mr. Yo
com mentioned, specially was a case
where two or three were attached
to a bright blue jelly-fish and had
taken on the same bright blue mak
ing them very inconspicuous.
This specimen, instead of being
attached to a rock or something of
that nature, was floating along in
the water. The larger ones are
found near the center and from
them the smaller ones grow out
making a very pretty group.
It was identified by Dr. Pilsbry
