Criticize Man's Materialism "The man ,cho does thmgs merely for the material rewards Sall find himself in constant trouble," declared Dr. Thomas W Graham, Dean of the Graduate School of Theology, °both!, College, at the Sunday morning chapel services in Schwab auditorium. Speaking on "Ths Parable," Dr Graham told of a person who had at tempted to quell human strife and sufferings, but was unsuccessful be cause no one would listen to his teach lags. Believing that education was some thing that prepared one for life and that individualized each student, this same person to whom the speaker re ferred, was surprised to find on inves tigation that college men and women arc even more standardized than an average group of people. Dr. Gra ham explained this by saying that all schools and colleges of today arc guilty of merely teaching people what to think instead of teaching them how to think. "The universe is built on friend liness and cooperation," Dr. Gorham said. He concluded by saying, "The greatest in life is love—love never falls."
