Dr. Fiewelling Delivers Final Forum Lecture
Philosopher States 'Same Spirit Drives Science, Religion’
‘ The task of science is the observation of phenomena, the description of events, and not the explanation of ultimate causes.” So said Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewell-ing. director of the School of Philosophy, ln his critique of »ci-ence yesterday in Bowne hall.
The lecture was the last of six for the philosophy furum on “Six Ways of Life.”
SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDE One of Dr. Flewelling’s main points was that the spirit necessary for achievement in both science and religion is the same.
The scientist, just as the man of religion, needs “an inner consciousness of the eternal character of truth, and the worth-whileness of it, which will enable him to withstand the allurements of time and sense.”
When the scientist forgets that his field is not concerned with philosophical implications, he is more liable to err, Dr. Fiewelling said.
DISCUSSES PASTEUR “The scientist cannot be required to maintain any philosophical, religious, economic, political, or sociological theory.”
Dr. Fiewelling discussed the life of Louis Pasteur to illustrate his ideas. He quoted Pasteur, who. he said, was representative of great scientists:
“Science should not concern itself with the philosophical consequences of its discoveries.”
And again:
“The greatest disorder of the mind is to let the will direct the belief.”

Navy Bomber Crashes in Sea
Patrol Plane Sinks off Norfolk Yards
•
NORFOLK, Va., April 8—
A navy patrol bomber with 10 men aboard, missing since it took off early yesterday on a routine flight, crashed and sank in 40 feet of water two miles off the Virginia coast, the Norfolk navy air station reported tonight.
The navy said there were no survivors.
Cause of the disaster was not known.
Scattered bits of wreckage, which the coast guard said were found over nearly a square mile of the
Atlantic, bore mute evidence of the force with which the PBY-1 crashed into the sea. Two orange life rafts were found r i*r the scene. One of them was inflated, indicating that the crew may have had warning of the crash.
The destroyer Lansdale—heading a fleet of navy and coast guard rescue boats—reported by wireless from the scene, north of Machi-pongo inlet, that one of its tenders was dragging the water for the fuselage of the plane—believed to contain the bodies of the men.
There was no sign of the two officers and eight enlisted men who were aboard the plane when it took off at 8:35 a.m. yesterday for Quonsett Point, R. I., the Lansdale messaged. Nothing had been heard from the plane since it radioed a routine flight report a few minutes after it took off from Chambers field. It should have reached Quonsett Point in about four hours.
