Morse Speaks To Honorary A. 0. Morse, provoSt of the College; at a Founders Day ban quet of the local chapter 'of Phi Beta Kappa Wednesday night suggested members honor Phi Beta Kappa's 175th aversary by making "love of wisdom the helmsman of our students' lives in 1952." • Morse pointed out that voca tional ,competence is an impor tant part of education, but it is not enough. To improve th e situation, Morse suggested a sincere review of the objectives of subject mat ter and the establishment of a program to arrive at the objec tive agreed upon. In conclusion Morse said that "the tremendous . problems which beset us can be worked out only gradually through education, that Nye must not lose sight- of the ultimate bbjective or the unlimi ted potentialities of the human mind and spirit but - at the same time we must not - neglect those everyday practical steps which lead to the goal."
