“Secularism is the intellectual and moral temprament of an age. It is a current within a stream, relying upon truth as its fundamental authority,” began Dr. Herbert L. Searles, as he spoke to the philosophy x'orum session in Bowne hall yesterday afternoon.
Dr. Searles briefly traced the development of secularism from its inception during the Greecian Hellenic period, through its reappearance in the renaissance, and through its maturity after the reformation.
MENTAL POWERS AFFECTED
‘Gradually the parallelism of secularism and the church has dedeveloped. secularism being stimulated by scientific progress while religion has been retarded because faith cannot be rationalized."
Dr. Searles explained that religion has felt the effects of secularism by over-expressed individual freedom. “Unrestrained religious freedom has effected the exclusion of religion in our elementary educational programs.” he added.
Mankind has felt the effects of secularism in various forms of social disorder, war. poverty, and in the gradual atrophy of man s mental powers. Dr. Searles ascribed the last opinion to Dr. Alexis Carrol.
WORLD’S STATE INEVITABLE
“However, the present status of man's mental attitude must be accepted as a fact," observed Dr. Searles, "and taking cognizance of such, man must adopt one of five alternatives: He can accept mon-| asticism or the principles of isolation, finding his happiness within himself. Or he can become the stoic; he will concede that some things are within man's power, and some ihings are beyond him. This person enjoys the material and neglects the spiritual.”
Dr. Searles mentioned the outlet embodied in “naive optimism" which characterizes those who accept the material as evidences of progress. Those who tend towards “reasoned optimism” accept the present state of world affairs as an inevitable stage in the progress of man.
“The purpose of the day,” explains Dwight Hart, student chairman of the committee, “is to show the families and friends of the student body the campus spots so familiar to their sons and daughters."’ The program of the day will be informal, he said.
As a part of the day's activities, Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid will receive students and their parents in his office from 4 to 6 p.m.
Knights and Squires will be on hand to escort the guests on an informal tour of the campus, pointing out the main buildings and giving information pertaining to the background of the university.
Invitations have been mailed to parents of all students who are attending the university this year for the first time, but all parents are urged by Dr. von KieinSmid to attend.
The plan Ls an outgrowth and extension of last year’s festivities in honor of parents of second and third generation students. It is the expectation of the greater university committee that the day will become an annual event if it meets with favorable reception from parents.

Actors to Offer Noted Plays
This year in accordance with the university policy of presenting the best paintings and music by American artists, the play production staff announces that they will offer to che students two Pulitzer prize plays by American authors.
“Icebound,” written by Mr. Owen Davis, and “Our Town’” by Thornton Wilder are the plays listed for production. Critics say that these' plays are the two best prize plays ever written.
Casting for “Icebound” will take place in Touchstone theater on Monday and Wednesday of next week at 3:30 p.m. There are parts for six men and six women. All students interested in dramatics may tryout for the production.
Contrary to the connotation that the title implies, the drama has nothing to do with a boat being icebound. The play deals with a New England family in which there is a starvation for affection; their souls are icebound.
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 8 — (U.P) —
The Falk foundation of Pittsburgh announced tonight that it has granted $50,000 to the Brookings Institution, of Washington, D. C., j Japan, to finance a study for the settlement of 100.000 European political refugees in what may be the first of a group of refugee colonies in the western hemisphere.
A group of economists and political scientists under Dr. Dana G.
Munro, head of the Princeton University School of Public and International Affairs, will conduct a program to make self-supporting the refugees to be permitted to settle in the dominican republic. The work accomplished in the republic is expected to be a proving ground for possible alter settlements in other western hemisphere countries, a foundation spokesman said.
The study to be conducted by the institution with the aid of the Dominican public settlement association will specify what crops should be raised and what products are to be manufactured by the refugees for domestic consumption and export.
