Humanities Practical
House In
JEFFERSON CITY Tenn., Feb.
13 The necessity of . maintaining
a proper, balance between the hu
manities and the social and phys
ical sciences was emphasized in an
address here last night by Chan
cellor Robert B. House of the Uni
versity. Addressing the faculty of Car-son-Newman
College at the invi
tation of President Harley Fite,
Chancellor House said that relig
ion, literature, music, arts, and the
other humanities are "just as
practical as the sciences" in the
development of a well-balanced
education and a well-ordered life.
His topic was "(The Humanities
and a Liberal Education."
"It is the way of education to
show youth where beauty dwells
and there it will abide and learn
truth, goodness, and usefulness,"
said Chancellor House, who took
his text from a line by Alfred North
Whitehead, the great modern phil
osopher, who said: "Show youth
where beauty dwells and there it
will abide."
Chancellor House said that
teachers ought to bring to stu
dents the beauty in their subjects
first of all. "As a great teachers

DR. DOUGALD MacMILLAN
The University's English De
partment has moved out of its
cramped quarters in Saunders
Hall and Caldwell X into a more
spacious abode in Bingham Hall,
recenty vacated by the School
of Business Administration.
The English Department is the
largest department in the Uni
versity In the number of stu
dents enrolled. The University
was ranked second by.a national
survey last year in overall schol
arship in the Mediaeval and
Renaissance fields.
The English Department itself
was rated fifth in this survey
after Harvard, Yale, Johns Hop
kins and Columbia.
The Department's move to new
quarters was made possible when

! ject. Trust beauty as a way to God
and let it lead on to the other
values,' " he said.
Taking the positionHhat Ameri
ca is the most practical nation in
history, Chancellor House said this
nation unhesitatingly applies the
practical test to any field of value
and that by any test "the humani
ties are utterly practical."
"They are knowledge basic to
all other knowledge; and, since
knowledge "is basic to action, they
are basic to all thought and action.
Moreover, the humanities are the
arts of expression, execution, and
communication.
"No sound work is possible with
out them. And, finally, recreation
is as practical as work; and the
humanities are the greatest known
recreational sources. No sound
play is possible without them."
Chancellor House explained his
plea for the humanities in all phas
es of life saying "The first form
of knowledge and its expression is
art. The second form is science,
the concept and the application of
the concept. But with no intuition,
there is no concept, no science.
The concept is based on the intui
tion and expression of beauty. Art
is of our first thought. Science is
of our second thought.

The question of segregation
arose when a delegate from Hamp

school couldnt join the ' group
permanently if meetings were seg

(Hampton is a Negro school.)
"The National Student Associa

ed Lynda Simmons, a Woman's
College junior. "Progress is being
made. The very fact that we're sit

is just something that we can't
fight right now on a local level,"
she added.
Miss Simmons received a large
hand of applause. Then, leaders
from other campuses, both Negro
and white, got up to voice agree
ment. -
Meetings of the group were not
segregated. But the students
couldn't eat meals together in
campus establishments. A luncheon

"As we associate with each other,
