y Honored
Within a week the University has been doubly honored
by -the Carnegie Corporation.
Carolina is the recipient of a $100,000 grant to develop the
Graduate School. The University has also been honored by
the selection of Dean Weaver for a traveling fellowship to
study undergraduate life throughout the country.
By means of the graduate grant the Carnegie folks plan
to help the University in its liberal arts fields. First year
graduate students will get a chance to benefit from 10 new
fellowships ranging from $600 to $1000 each the first results
of the recent award. As Dean W. W. Pierson pointed out,"be
ginning grad students had to compete with second and third
year students to obtain, scholarships. It is good to see that the
liberal arts field, particularly teaching will get a boost from
the Carnegie grant. The entire graduate fellowship program
will be broadened because of the grant.
Uusually, the-corporation spends most of its funds on pri
vate institutions since private schools get no public' support.
The University, then, should feel happy that it has been singl
ed out as one of the few southern public colleges to receive
awards. In the past the Women's College and UrTC has bene
fitted from Carnegie projects.
Dean Weaver will visit several institutions to take a close
look at 'student life. We hope he'll have time to see how other
schools work out faculty-student relationships. There is an
unnecessary lack of understanding between the two here.
Only 25 such fellowships have been awarded in the past
to young administrators, so the award is an honor besides an
opportunity to the dean. WMD II

"Ever paramount is tne
thought of man's relatidhship to
the universe.'
That sentence introduces a
compact chapter in a provoca
tive work by a little known
author. Henry Jones' Penetralia
Mentis is unfinished and is not
the kind of work that really can
be finished but 1 have read the
first several chapters. Here, by
special permission, is the rest
of this particular one, which is
chapter VIII:
"As a mortal, who must de
fine the mind's idea of the in
finite in terms that are finite,
I believe that there is only the
commonality of limitless energy
between us and the totality of
infinity.
"For if the dimensional sphere
we call mind is contained in
the sphere of the body, the body
in the world, the world in the
universe, and the universe in
limitless energy, then what con
tains the sphere of infinity?
"Because of knowledge and
our dependence on it, our very
existance, beginning to end, is
but an interim arrangement of
energy; we might trace our
origin to the seed, but never to ,
the sower; we will follow our
future to death, but never be-.

"So we know nothing and live
only a hypothesis- that, never
theless, serves absolutely our
purpose. Ou intelligence, even
as our reason is tempered now
of necessity by doubt, has the
potentiality of completeness in
its own sphere.
"Since, after all, there is no
occasion to distrust the next
encompassing sphere, nothing we
could do if it were to discharge
us from life, and no more sign
ificant to us when it does than
any instantaneous and total
annihilation, what cause is
there for concern on this count?
"But the price of conflict with
the larger energy is death. So
long as we live, our progress is
safe.
"This is a simple lesson.
"Our intelligence must be
used to forward living and life;
those who use it to tempt death
for the sole sake of morbid
curiosity will find it unconquer
able, insatiable.
"Of the latter we must all
beware; enough of them might
lose us, too, and existance itself."
by John Sanders
isenhower I he Politician
At last, General . Eisenhower
has said the long awaited and
predicted "yes" to those eager
to see him seek the Presidency.
Perhaps the most significant
sentence of his statement of
Monday significant and por
tentious to all who respect the
electorial processes and institu
tions of our democracy was"
the assertion that:
"Under no , circumstances
will I ask for relief from this
assignment in order to seek
nomination to political office
and I shall not participate
in the pre-convention acti
vities of others who may
have such an intention with
respect to me:
Superficially, this would ap
pear to be an altogether proper
thing to be said by a man in
uniform, one whose appeal lies
largely in the fact that he stands
apart from the generality of
political office-seekers. Yet it
takes no great political astute
ness to see that this is the sort
of ideal political situation for stands on what appears to that
which president-makers often
dream, but scarcely dare to hope.
With a very considerable
popular support today from
virtually all segments of the
political spectrum, Eisenhower
can only lose votes by making
any statement on any N public
issue. Thus he is in position to
turnhis uniform from what
might otherwise be a straight
jacket into an ostentatiously
valid -excuse for saying nothing
prior to thetime when the Re
publican Convention may choose
to cast upon him what he terms
"a duty that .would transcend
my present responsibility."
Of the essence of democratic
self-government is the right of
each citizen to cast his vote for
.the man whom he feels best
fitted by political philosophy,
training, and ability to serve
the whole citizenry most cap
ably. This presupposes that each
citizen will take the trouble to
find out where each candidate
citizen to be the transcenderd
issues of the day.
To say that most voters do
not exercise such a degree ol
responsibility is to miss tho
crucial issue here If the voter
has no opportunity, try though
he may, to find out where every;
candidate stands, then he 23
effectively estopped from the
intelligent exercise of his chief
power as a citizen.
Unlike Taft, Stassen, Warren,
and oiher would-be nominees,
between, now and July the
GeneraT will be making no re
velations of his philosophy of
government, of His concept of
the office which he seeks, or of
his positions on the issues which
are of major importance to those
whose suffrage he asks issues
