'Enlightened Religion'
ducation
:y Yale Professor
What is desperately needed in the United States is not more edu
cation, but more significant education which draws heavily upon
enlightened religion, Theodore M. Greene, professor of philosophy
at Yale and participant in the Religion in Life program at the Uni
versity, told members of the Faculty Luncheon Club yesterday.
The tall distinguished author
and educator, long an exponent
of liberal education in this coun
try, stressed that this enlightened
religion can best help fight the
evils of the world.
Commenting upon frequent in
tellectual and post-adolescent re
bellion against religion, Greene
said, "The worst enemy of reli
gion is stupid religious effort by
churches."
He thought it was a tragedy to
find so many students even in
college who failed to get five min
utes of "enlightened religion" dur
ing their school years.
"This type of religion can prove
a tremendously powerful incentive
to cherishing the welfare of one's
fellow men," he said,
Humanities Important
As an educator, Greene has
been prominent in promoting the
integration of all liberal disci
plines and of emphasizin'T the cen
tral importance of the humanities.
He said he was unfamiliar with
the Penn State campus even
though his son had served as an
instructor here a number, of years
ago.
.However, he expressed disap
pointment over what seemed to
him to be the prevalent attitude
concerning the liberal arts at Penn
State, as being, to a great many,
"an easy unimportant curriculum
for students, who either can't
make up their minds or who have

enough money to loaf their way

Harvard, he pointed out, the lib
eral arts are regarded much high
er as strong intellectual discipline,
althdugh he believed Penn State,
as a land grant university, was far
more typical of the general Amer
ican attitude in education.
Liberal Education Needed
"Education and religion can be
so defined to remain exclusive of
each other," he said, "and this is
happening more and more nowa
days in the United States." He
emphasized the need for a liberal
education which would give stu
dents a "total understanding of
the reality in which man lives."
Such an understanding, he con
tinued, leads man to a far richer,
integrated, and more responsible
life in a democratic society, giv
ing him a more mature judgment
in regard to beauty, human rela
tions, and divinity.
He was born in Constantinople,
Turkey, where his parents were
American missionaries and has
traveled widely lecturing on top
ics concerning liberal education,
liberal Christianity, philosophy,
and art. He has served as profes
sor of philosophy in India and at
Princeton. Stanford, and Yale and
has been an important figure in
urging a study of basic political
and ethical weaknesses in our na
tion in an effort to improve eth
ics in government.

BLIND STUDENT JACK MORAN, who has a perfect college
scholastic record, takes notes in
,class with a braille typewriter.
Ike, his seeing-eye dog, naps while Jack attends classes. Ike guides
his master to classes every day, and can remember the route after
only one day's practice. Moran is a third semester sociology major.
Dog's Eyes Lead
3-Average Student
One of the most familiar sights around the campus is a large
German Shepherd seeing-eye dog and his owner Jack Moran, a blind
student with a straight 3 average.
During the week these two friends are seen sauntering across
the campus and covering the routine trips required in Jack's schedule
from Sparks to Willard to Car
negie. The deepest thing in this
strong friendship between Jack
and Ike, the German Shepherd,
is that each realizes that the other
depends on him to some degree,
and each knows the other's merits
and limitations
Professional Singer
Jack, having lost his sight due
to severe hemorrhages when he
was 14, met Ike in April 1953, and
the two have been a team ever
since. After finishing high school,
Jack decided to go out on his own
and became a professional enter
tainer, singing in several night
clubs through the Scranton area.
Although he had been singing
professionally from about the age
of eight, this was the first time
he used mainly his talent to sup
port himself.
After two years of roaming and
singing, Jack decided to continue
his education and matriculated at

he recorded most of his notes

that he .achieved an average which
would be comparable to a 3 at
Penn State.
Transfers to UniVersity
He received the same grades at
the end of his second semester,
and then decided to transfer to
Penn State.
By this time he had met Ike,
and in. the Fall of 1953, the two
