' Dr. Henderson was the second speaker to address the senior group, United States Senator Josiah W. 'Bailey having spoken at the meeting Monday night. "The troubles you have had here," Dr: Henderson asserted, "will be increased a thousand fold in real life. We are now facing a difficult and dangerous era of doubt and uncertainty. We have not yet adjusted ourselves to a new religion. Philosophy is declining.. Governments are very unstable, and democracy is under fire today as it has not been for centuries. We are un able to enforce our laws. We de ride and scorn the men we choose to represent us." The One Fixed Point Dr. Henderson declared that the one fixed point in all this un certainty lies in the realm of science. "We must plead for a spirit of revolt against mechanism", he stated. "We must develop more and more intensive think ers and more experts. It is also essential that we develop a high er intellectual plane. It is gen erally the case that when a man leaves college he ceases to be an educated man. If we are to move forward we must continue to pursue our attempts toward cul ture." ' RIDGE CONFERENCE A.

A. Bible Study Group The Bible study group has leaders who are well fitted for this discussion.

Moore, chairman of the 1931 Human Relations Institute, in an interview with a Daily Tar Heel reporter, cited the following points which tend to show that the University is heading into a broader liberal ism, rather than the state of conservatism as was pointed out. in a recent article in this paper. Six Points "1. When we who live in the University of North Carolina, a state institution which is sup ported by agricultural and in dustrial interests, and which is constantly under pressure ; of these interests, are able to con duct an Institute such as that just held, with the rankest radi cals and the strictest conserva tives appearing , on the same program, then I think we may safely say that wre have thb freest campus in; the United States A high tide of freedom, we hope, has just been achieved through the Institute. v "2. Both sides of issues were presented by men prominent Jn their positions. Capital and la bor, collectivism and individual ism, force and liberty, all had a voice. We strove for a 4 clear picture of wholes rather than of parts. " "3. Student initiative played the greatest part in carrying out the program.
