Hughes, |Chicago, area of the Methodist Epis- jcopal church, former president of De- Pauw University at Greencastle, Ind. Bishop Hughes used for hiS" theme: “The Perils of Knowledge" and during his discourse took the opportunity of answering Robert Emmons Rogers, associate professor of English o f Mas­ sachusetts Institute of Technology, who recently told a graduating class of that school: “ Be snobs. 'I t is just as easy to marry the boss' daughter, as his stenographer." Bishop Hughes stated in reply: “We simply must not lhave intellectual snobs.” - In his introductory remarks, the commencement speaker declared that; a-false relation to knowledge is a peril but that no knowledge at all is a worse peril. He- declared that gravitation is what makes life safe but that any law of safety may be a peril. ‘ Religion, he said, is not always safe but must be used with caution. Reli- fgion is most dangerous when misused. Four main points were stressed by the speaker, including: 1—Shelf-con­ sciousness; 2—Don’t be critical of your fellow men; 3—Tendency to think o f knowledge as a substitute ‘for character; 4—Knowledge is not an end in itself. “ Just because you have a college de­ gree is no excuse for not using your knowledge and ability,” h e ’ told the seniors. “ There is only one really worth while harvest and that is the crop o f youth. There is no connection be­ tween knowledge and mbral and spiritual character." v ior year)—Robert MacKenzio and Edith May Wigal.
