RILW Should Last
Through Year—Diem
By PEGGY McCLAIN
Religion-in-Life Week is of definite value to a college campus,
Albert E. Diem, RILW speaker, said in an interview yesterday. But'
RILW is not enough, he added.
Such concentration upon the subject of religion, as well as the
influence of. “outside” speakers and leaders is advantageous to a
college. However, religion should
be a 52-week proposition in every
daily social and academic activity.
Diem added that among the 500
Penh State students with which
he talked, the desire to know
truth and understand life was both
evident and encouraging.
Diem,, a Penn State graduate,
class of 1935, is vice president in
charge of manufacturing for the
Dictaphone Corporation. He has
[also held the positions of man
ager of procurement and manager
of manufacturing.
As a student at the College,
Diem served on the Penn State
Christian Association cabinet and
as chairman of the finance com
mittee. He is a member of Alpha
Kappa Psi, professional commerce
fraternity, and Acacia.
Diem’s main criticism of relig
ion on the campus is that it has
become secondary to academic
achievement. The two fields
should be of equal importance to
the student, he said. “Get all you
can” of material wealth, he advo
cates. It is the way in which you
get it and .what you do with it
safe

3 Formosa ns
To Study Here
Two Formosan teachers arrived
at the College this week to begin
a year’s study of American class
room techniques under a program
designed to strengthen Formosa’s
new vocational teacher education
system.
A third teacher, Chen Lui, presi
dent of Taiwan Teachers College,
is expected to arrive soon to be
gin his studies.
This system, the first of its
kind in both'China and Formosa,
■was organized following a recom
mendation made by Dr. S.. Lewis
Land, professor and head of the
Department of Industrial Educa
tion, after he had completed a
tour of Formosa for the Mutual
Security Agency last October.
Both Formosan teachers wil
study in the Department of In
dustrial Education.
that is of moral concern to so
ciety.
Without people, religious com
munities would have no purpose,
he said. Religion’s greatest asset
is its value to human relations.
Thus, Diem pointed out, those
who profess a religion should as
sume the responsibility of sup
porting, with both talents and
money, free religious institutions'.
He parallels a comprehensive
religion with a comprehensive in
surance policy. Neither guaran
tees freedom from adversity; both
promise the strength to weather
it. ■ |
