Power Requirements
Cited at Symposium
The need for science and religion to approach together the
problems in the development of power was stressed in the
symposium on “The Responsible Uses of Power,” Monday
night.
“Scientific knowledge is power, but it is power to be used
for good or for evil as men choose,” Dr. Hugh L. Dryden,
lirector of the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics, said.
Many scientists now realize their
noral and spiritual responsibili
ies, he added.
Dr. Dryden said that the scien
ast realizes that outside of the
laboratory he is a man with hu
nan passions and shortcomings
is well as noble aspirations and
ligh ideals
“Man’s life at its fullest is a trin
ity of activity, physical, mental,
ind spiritual. Man must cultivate
ill three if he is not to be im
perfectly developed,” he said. “A
icientist’s responsibility for the
proper use of scientific knowledge
for human welfare is thus the
iame as those of other citizens—
no more, no less.”
Federal Control
Science is uneasy about the
growing control of the federal
government over scientific re
search, and “American science has
become largely dependent on gov
ernment,” he said. He said, how
ever, that science and government
have greatly profited.
“Scientists wish to free the
shackles which impede our sci
entific progress, especially in its
creative and original aspects,”
Dryden said. In this task they
ask for mutual understanding and
assistance of their fellow citizens,
he said.
Dr. Nels Ferre, professor of
philosophical theology at the Van
derbilt School of Religion, dis
cussed the religious aspects of
power.
3 Kinds of Power
“Power is of three basic kinds:
physical, mental, and spiritual,”
he said. “Physical power is mainly
the field*of science; mental power,
of education as a whole; and spir
itual power, of religion.”
Dr. Ferre said that mental pow
er discriminates the use of physi
cal power by understanding or
evaluation:
“Spiritual power is power for
the highest kind of life. The spirit
defines life, gives the mind it?
true context and prescribes the
correct uses of physical power,”
he said.
According to Dr. Ferre, the
Christian interpretation of power
is of God, that God is the ultimate
power, but that even His ultimate
capacity to operate and to control

“Physical power is rightly used
when it is intelligently directed
to good ends,” he said but, he
added, it should be “controlled by
the mental power in the service
of creative life.”
“Mental power must put phy
sical power to more creative uses
within a new kind and level of
spiritual control,” he said.
Dr. Ferre said that we cannot
have spiritual control, “for in this
realm we must be controlled ra
ther than control. Spiritual power
belongs to God alone,” he added.
“We bring together in active
symbolism the physical and the
spiritual via the mental,” he said.
Dr. Ferre said that we should
dedicate ourselves to a new re
birth of spiritual reality, to an
education lifted to larger ends,
but all in relation most realisti
cally, to the nature and purpose
of physical power.
