Paul Tillich to Speak in Bovard
By JIM FABIAN
Theologian Paul Tillich will speak today at 10 at an all-university convocation in Bovard Auditorium.
All 10 a.m. classes will be cancelled for the noted philosopher and art critic, who yesterday opened the USC-sponsored Institute on World Affairs at the. Huntington Sheraton Hotel in Pasadena.
His topic will be “The Ending and the End of History.”
Dr. Tillich, who has been called the foremost Protestant thinker in the United States, has been acclaimed by such authorities as psychoanalyst Eric Fromm, philosopher Karl Jaspers and theologians Emil Brunner, Rudolf Bultmann and Reinhold Niebuhr.
His work has been termed “a monumental and unique effort to match the insights of Christianity with the predicament of modern man.”
Dr. Tillich has received recognition by non-Protestants, who have called him “the most challenging Protestant mind of the times.”
Jesuit Gustave Weigel has said, “The sustained brilliance of Tillich is amazing, and his incredibly wide knowledge matches his brilliance. Any witness of the Protestant reality looks for someone to give a unified meaning to the whole thing. I believe I have found that man in Professor Paul Tillich.”
Critics of Dr Tillich have labeled him an atheist because he says that doubt is an inevitable part of faith
Dr. Tillich feels that man exists in a state of finitude. Man doesn’t know what he is or where he is going, and feels estranged from some great, unknown thing that is demanded of him, he explains.
He says that man is filled with wonder at the phenomenon of being. It is a simple astonishment that things are. This wonder presupposes a darker knowledge that he might not be—being is threatened, always and every where, by non-being, according to Dr. Tillich.
He sees man’s existence as a state of anxiety, but says it is not fear, nor is it neurotic anxiety.
He goes on to say that the only way man can cope with his existential society is by having the courage to be. This courage is like a spark across the gap between existential and essential, philosophy and theology, man and God.
Dr. Tillich made up his mind to be a philosopher at the age of 16.
“By that time I was interested by the whole theological system, the drama of God and man,” he writes.
Also noted as an art critic, Dr. Tillich

has said men are different from other animals in that they are able to select their environment.
He maintains that surroundings are different for different kinds of individuals.
“Man’s environment has the character of world,” he says. “The environment rema i n s environment. It never can become world.”
He explains that “world” is the same idea as “cosmos” was to the Greeks and “universe” to the Romans.
“World is the structured unity of an inexhaustible number of actual and possible things,” Dr. Tillich explains. “It is the structure which makes the world world: if we encounter world, we encounter it as a whole which is structured in time and space, in geometrical and biological forms, in things and consciousness of things, in laws and spontani-ty, in the positive and the negative.”
He says world points to the self-understanding of man within his world, and that environment as a result of an encounter wins spiritual significance.
In the early 1930s Dr. Tillich was dismissed from the faculty of the University of Frankfort for siding against storm trooper tactics that were used against leftist students.
Dr. Tillich accepted a post at the Union Theological Seminary in the United States shortly after this experience.
Since coming to this country, Dr. Tillich has reversed the usual trend of theological thought flowing into the United States from Europe. Many of his works, written in this country, have been translated into German and other European tongues and sent abroad.
Dr. Tillich’s many books include “The Protestant Era,” “The New Being,” “The Shaking of the Foundations" and “The Courage To Be.”
Dr. Louis Hammer, USC professor of philosophy, describes Dr. Tillich as undoubtedly one of the most important thinkers in the United States today.
He said what should most interest university students about Dr. Tillich is the extent to which he has brought theology into touch with many other disciplines—art, literature, philosophy, psychology and history—and his interest in showing that science and faith are mutually compatible.
“Dr. Tillich’s analysis of religious symbols is a major contribution to the study of symbolism, a study which has become one of the chief intellectual interests of this century,” he said.
At the convocation, the University Concert Choir will present a premier performance of a short, new sacred work by Halsey Stevens, head of the composition department of the School of Music. The choir will be under the direction of James Vail, assistant professor of church music.
Expert Explains Defense Morality
United States citizens have a moral justification to defend the national interest, Thomas D. White, retired Air Force chief of staff, said yesterday at the 39th annual Institute of World Affairs.

By HAL DRAKE Daily Trojan Editor
In an autumn of one of the Golden Years before World War I, the 1,000 students who made . .up the Liberal Aits College of USC were gathered on the lawn of the Old College as mellowed Warren Bovard outlined his plans for the year.
Bovard, or “Bovie” as he was known to the students, was the son of President George Finley Bovard and graduate manager of the rugby team, but his duties in* the small school were what we might call those of a dean of students today.
And during his remarks he explained that “I am a firm believer in letting the students run their own affairs, except where experienced advice and material aid can be given.”
Thus it was that in the Golden Years, those so-called frivolous days, the tradition of university life, of a community of scholars and masters each responsible for his own integrity and conduct and education, was established for USC.
The little college, which grew through one war, exploded after the next, and physically is no more.
And there are voices at present wondering whether that system of university, of academic community, has not been lost, too, in the leaded walls of administrative supervision and organization that have accompanied that growth.
Just a while back, there was a letter to the editor printed in the Daily Trojan from a second-year architecture student who protested the interference of committees and administrators in his fraternity’s plans for a Homecoming decoration.
The student protested that this was an attempt to dictate to him on “matters of propriety,” which he rightfully felt old enough to decide for himself.
Again, an irate representative of Trojan Knights came to the Daily Trojan to protest that the weeks of work of the Card Stunt Committee were being subjected to the whims of administrators who were “making us do their work without letting us do any of the organization or planning.”
The men in a senior honorary, he complain-
ed, should be free to make these decisions on their own.
Two specific instances of what has become a quiet swell of student belief that the power of decision, the right of authority for their affairs, has been assumed by administrative supervisors, that their “fun” is being run by advisers, that, in short, students no longer may take responsibility for their actions, or share in the pride that comes from responsible achievement.
Are they right?
In the spacious, carpeted office of a modem dean of students, Dr. William H. McGrath, starting his first year in that post at USC, took an old-fashioned view of the situation.
“I firmly believe in Huxley’s remark, ‘The most important single thing in the university is human personality,’ meaning the individual’s uniqueness," he said. “Anything which tends to subordinate this uniqueness—except the basic ideals of the culture—is to be avoided.”
Though this is his philosophy, Dr. McGrath admitted that colleges have been moving toward “over-organization” of student life.
“This is a reflection of society, particularly in California, where universities operate under the influence of legal precedents,” he explained. “We are obligated to act on behalf of the parents—the law courts hold us responsible. So the university is bound to watch carefully over its flock or get its head cut off.”
But the extra-curricular over-supervision is not the whole problem. The classroom, once the field of glory for that vigorous, responsible student mind, has become more and more the domain of the instructor, the lecturer, with students assuming a passive role.
Again in this trend, the social context of modern universities is the first field for exploration.
“There is never a thirst for knowledge in students,” Dr. Ronald E. Freemen, associate professor of English and coordinator of the freshman English program, maintained. But, he added, “there can’t be in ‘democratic’ education.
“We do not discriminate among intellectual (Continued on Page 3)

The mildest “slowing down” of business in the post-World War II period is ahead for 1963, believes Dr. Preston Martin, professor of finance.
Dr. Martin said Los Angeles business should expect a “plateau” rather than a reces sion in 1963. National and local indicators analyzed by Dr. Martin lend support to this projection.
The similarity of national and local business cycle patterns w’as also a product of his analysis. "The local indicators of business conditions show weakness similar to those
