HERE LAST NIGHT
Tufts College Dean-Elect Offers
Discussion of Liberal Re
ligion at Carolina Inn.
"Revolutionary change must
come in religion, if it is to meet j
the needs of the individual and
social life today," declared Pro
fessor Clarence R. Skinner,

School of Religion, last night, in
his first lecture of a seminar in
liberal religion being conducted
this week at the" Carolina' Inn.
Nightly meetings take place at
8 :00 o'clock, and a discussion
period follows each lecture.

who would deny ithe critical

every age represents a crisis.
Whenever one era of civilization
is transformed, there jnust be
grave dangers of readjustment.
"The fact that makes our age
so critical is that there is trans
formation or readjustment in
practically every sphere of hum
an life, both individual and sor

Professor Skinner continued
by saying that a new science 0fj

effected throughout every coun

religious life is also vital.
"In the very nature of the
term, liberal means free from
the clutch of past ages, free
from the chains of dogma, free
from the old views of the cosmos
and of human personality,"
Skinner explained. "Likewise, in
the nature of the word, 'conser
