Townsend Believes People Possess Despotic Leanings
“Although opinion varies widely, I believe the German people are still inclined to lean toward the eastern way of life—despotism and servitude.” This contention, expressed by Prof. Stanley Townsend of the German department will be discussed and elaborated upon when he speaks on “The Germans: Western or an Eastern People?” tomorrow, 2:15 in the Art and Lecture room of the University library.
EAST AND WEST
“The problem,” continued Professor Townsend, “revolves around three questions:
“What is west? What is east? What are the Germans?
“East is despotism, servitude, Russia. West is France, England, and United States.
“In the 19th century,” said Professor Townsend, “the major influence on Germany was the rise of the middle class with all of its significance. Eastern antihumanism is in opposition to middle class traditions, therefore 19th century Germany was west in its influence.
MIDDLE CLASS PASSES
“During the 20th century the middle class lost its importance and Germany began to play an important scientific role in this ‘century of science.’
“In the years of the Hitler regime,” he continued, “Germany converted to eastern despotism and servitude. The problem,” concluded Professor Townsend, “is, will Germany have a chance to turn west again, or will its instinctive nature lead it to turn east?”

Hunter Views Gandhi s Life
“Nonviolence, attacking the conscience of man with love and truth, and hating sin but not the sinner,” were stressed as the greatest accomplishments of Mohandas K. Gandhi by the Rev. Allan A. Hunter in his panorama of religions lecture yesterday.
The Rev. Mr. Hunter traced the life of the religious leader through three stages of awareness of evil to a point where his recognition of the truth “penetrated the inner nucleus x>f evil, broke it up, and used the fragments for good.”
“The haunting, dominating light in Giuidhi was truth. To him truth was the essence of the universe. It was reality,” said the speaker.
To clarify one of Gandhi’s customs that many western cultures find hard to understand the lecturer explained that the custom of fasting was not to “v/hitemail others, but to purify himself.”
“Evil seems to have an organizing genius which Gandhi overcame by prayer. He looked at prayer as a longing of the heart, not as a moving of the lips,” concluded the lecturer.
The Rev. Mr. Hunter is pastor of the Mt. Hollywood Cogregational church and has traveled extensively. He has received degrees from Columbia and Princeton universities and served on the faculty of universities in China and Egypt.
is difficult to define since it has many different meanings.
“One sense is to consider culture as a sum of attitudes, ways of living, artifacts, and social arrangements of any given society,” the speaker explained. “Considered in this sense, atomic energy has already added some things to our culture.”
LISTS ADDITIONS Among these additions. Dr. McMurrin listed theoretical knowledge obtained by scientists; legislation resulting from the attitudes and emotions of people; and the actual products manufactured by industry.
“The main problem,” the speaker commented, “is whether the influence of atomic energy will alter our culture so that it can be said that we are beginning a new cultural era.
“From this point of view, culture is not considered as a sum of elements within it, but rather as a ’jasic pattern of life and thought and a fundamental spiritual creativeness.”
What results from atomic energy depends in large part on what we do in respect to social organization, he added.
