Fr. Bergin, Dr. Van.;. Deventer Discuss Neo- Scholasticism
Father Hutton Will Lecture Over WGN
By Charles Gllhert At the last regular meeting .. of Beta Lambda, held Friday evening, April 29, Father Bergin, assisted by Dr. Van Deventer, led a r ound-ta ble discussion on the Effects of NeoScholasticism on the Biological Sciences. This discussion was advanced because of the steps taken by Dr. Hutchlnson, president of the University of Chicago, and other prominent educators throughout · the country toward a revision of the educational system. Dr. Van Deventer stated that recent scientific trends were authropocentric, that is, th e scientific activities were centered around man rather t han merely as scientific curio..> a or pure una pplied science. Advancement of science at the present time is mainly undertaken for a definite cnd~the betterment of man. 1 Science Sometimes Evil f~~er Bergin tpok up the discussion from these introductory remarl{S of Dr. Van Deventer by pointing out the definite ends of scientific investigation and its relation to man's attai nment of the good. He said that "science at times is not a good in itself. Science often is a ery frightf ul evil.'' Fr. Bergin pr esented th e case of the Wor ld war as an exam,ple of this : "Science has made the g reen hills and smiling valleys horrible with the mangled forms of young manhood . Science is power , but power is bene,. ficient or d estructive according to the character of the men who use power It depends on the ends power is made to serve" . H e continued: "It is no enoug h merely to know the biological sciences. If it is to be a beneficlent thing one must know the beneficient purposes to which· it is applied . . Biological science should be dire cted for th e benefit and happiness of mankind:"
