Finch, associate professor of philosophy, sug gested at a meeting of the Penn State Christian Association Wed nesday night that modern man should make of his life an “heroic adventure.” . ’ : ~ ■ In a speech entitled “Pilgrims and Progress,” Finch proposed that the modern “hero” is one who takes nature as an oppor tunity, arid who seeks by special knowledge to increase his mas tery over a strange and alien world of nature. Thus, the “hero” would say, “If my ship will make the jo.urney, it’s because I de signed it true.” However, this seeking after om nipotence, which is unattainable, even though it may be approached nearer and ’ nearer, Finch con tinued, is not the only motivating goal of this “hero.” Included is the. ethical principle that one should try to maximize his own chances of achieving his desires while at the same time, maximiz ing the chances of others—a sort of “maximum harmony” in so ciety, he said. Charts Journey In this way, the journey through life would be charted for man, he added. But, there have been many kinds of journeys that men have been interested in, he said. Often the search has been for a kind of “home,” as in the Odyssey, he continued. Other journeys cited by Finch were the grail quests of Percival and Galihad, and the “return to paradise” movements of many authors and philosophers. Opinions of these philosophers, such as Lucretius, Dante, and Kant, he said, have differed as to whether or not the heavenly city is in space of time, and whe ther or not man can attain it. Those who consider man as a pilgrim rather than a hero, Finch claimed, take the view that no one can reach the heavenly city by any efforts ■ one could fairly call his own. On the other hand, the herd moves toward the paradise as much as he can by his own ef forts, he said.. But, the hero be lieves that no heavenly city achieved will satisfy anyone, Finch stated, although the ap proach to it is necessary for con tentment and progress. Delta Upsilon Kappa Kappa Gamma was re cently entertained by-Delta Up silon at the chapter house. Pledges from both groups entertained and refreshments were served. Chi Phi Chi Phi entertained Alpha Chi Omega last Saturday afternoon at a square dance at the chapter house. Refreshments followed the dancing.
