Intellectual Disunity
Cited as World Problem
The principle problem facing the world today is the ‘‘frag
mentation of the intellect” or the inability of specialists to
talk to one another, Frank J. Sheed, author lecturer, and pub
lisher, of New York City, said Tuesday.
His lecture was the first in a series of Centennial lectures
on religion sponsored by the Committee of 13.
Ag Council
To Redeem
War Bonds
Agriculture Student Council
learned last night that $3OO worth
of government savings bonds,
which the council purchased in
1945, have reached maturity.
On the suggestion of its treas
urer, council voted to redeem the
bonds and purchase three new
$lOO savings bonds with the pro
ceeds. Council also decided that
if the interest on the bonds is
sufficient, it would purchase an
other $lOO bond. If there is not
enough interest for this, council
directed the treasurer to place
the interest in the general treas
ury.
In other action, John Flick
inger, fifth semester pre-veteri
nary major and chairman of the
council’s election committee, read
the names of all those eligible
to hold office on next year’s
council.
Under council rules, a student
must be an undergraduate and
have served ait least one-half of
one semester on the council, to be
eligible to serve as an officer.
Douglas MoorheacJ, fifth semes
ter horticulture major, and chair
man of council’s open house com
mittee, announced that the Open
House will be April 25. He said
that most departments have set
up committees for the event.

This fragmentation will not
stand up against the force of the
political regime, Sheed said. “We
must unify the intellect,” he said,
but added he had no solution to
the problem. He said he feels that
the beginning lies in the trans
mission of ideas. If a person
“holds an idea, he should tell
the other what he holds.”
"Intellectual Revival"
Sheed said the phrase “intellec
tual revival” referred to the per
iod of about 20 years, between the
two world wars. Preceding the
revival was the “swoon” which
was characterized by the feeling
of Catholics and non-Catholics
alike that “Catholics couldn’t
think,” he said. This feeling came
about after the Protestant refor
mation when the Catholic church
settled down and “treated itself
as if it were under siege,” he said.
Sheed defined the “swoon” as
a period of ‘fall in vitality.’ There
were no Catholic works in the
arts. The church refrained from
‘further advance and yielded no
ground.’ By the' middle 1920’s this
“swoon” was gone, he said.
“People have forgotten that they
once felt Catholics couldn’t think,
and the Catholics have forgotten
that they believed it,” he said.
Sheed said that he likes speak
ing in an auditorium because the
audience, is captivated. It can’t
wander off.
Criticises Novel
In a question and answer per
iod following the lecture, Sheed
said the novel is in a dying form.
It shows an unmistakable mark
of old age, that of garrulousness,
he said. It lacks vitality. The
modern novel is not alive, it is
lively, he said, and readers, as
well, are not alive.
The next Centennial lecturer
will be Dr. A. T. Mollegen, pro
fessor of Christian Ethics at the
Protestant Episcopal Theological
Seminary in Alexandria, Va. He
will speak at 8 p.m. March 21 in
121 Sparks.
