Seminar Talks
To Be Chosen
By New Method
A change in the method of selection
of subjects for engineering seminar is
in effect for the spring term. Sub-
jects for the fall term are selected and
assigned by each instructor from a
list furnished by various engineering
faculty members. During the spring
term each student must keep a file of
three approved subjects on which he
is willing to talk. The instructor in
charge of the seminar then selects any
one of these for delivery.
While this seminar is a regular class,
visitors are always welcomo and may
listen to one or all of the talks, of
which there are usually three. Under-
class engineers especially should visit
this class in order to get a line on
some of their future work. Talks are
sufficiently general and non-technical
that anyone should be able to under-
stand explanations given.
Contrary to the opinion rendered a
few weeks ago by a trio of co-cds, the
Mechanical laboratory is not inhabited
by rough, uncouth, discourteous per-
sons, or by orgres, demons, or other
supernatural or hypothetical beings,'
and it is quite safe for any co-eds who
are Interested to "attend any of the
meetings, which are held every Fri-
day at 2 in M. L. 205.
The speakers and subjects for this
term's meetings follow:
Last Friday, Clovis Harkrider,
chairman; Ellis Turner, "Electricity on
the Farm"; G. W. Hewitt, "High Pres-
sure Locomotives", and L. A. M. Bar-
nette, "Methods of Manufacturing Gas-
eline". This week, Fay Killiard,
chairman; Morion Moss, "Mechanical
Research in Progress Today"; R. W.
Balzen, "Prevention of Stream Pollu-
tion"; Bob Bearman, "Effects of Elec-
trical Shock". For ..the Inst meeting
this term, chairman, John Koy; Fred
Raatz, "Concreting in Cold Weather";
C. J. McWhorter, "High Voltage Power
Transmission"; Dick Nosier, "Auto-
matic Train Control".

the Greek naturalistic pantheon and
his conscience felt the need of moral
response to a supreme personal deity,
his intellect sought unity in all na-
ture, and that unity living and di-
vine."
Explaining how Goethe responded to
o her thinkers by assimilating or re-
jecting their ideas, Dr. Tsanot'f said
that his philosophy read into Kant and
into or out of Spinoza what itself de-
manded and recognized in man's spirit
and in nature. Culminating an ex-
planation til' Goethe's teaching Dr.
Tsanoff said:
"So Goethe teaches us, as I have
tried to interpret him elsewhere, the
worth of human life, as Faust comes
to know it, is not in fervid enjoyment
nor yet in thrilled or placid contem-
plation of past attainment, but in noble ;
endeavor and high hazard. Only this
perception of the external worth of
high endeavor can exalt the fleeting
moment and seal it with eternal worth
—tin ideal forever, real because never
completely attained, and a grace fur-
ever blessing because never quite de-
served."
