WARDELL CONNERLY ASSSC President “Progress is our most important product.” Through science, we are told we will acquire “better things for better living.” Presumably, science is the academic panacea for all of our “materialistic” wants. Presumably, science will produce for man, “the good life.” We are told by the statisticians that our collegiate society will undergo one of the most rapid rates of increase in its existence, during the next decade. I’m somewhat curious as to how the mechanized, scien- tific world will confront the intangibles which will be neglected as a result of its emphasis upon tangibles, upon the plague of materialism. What about the internal aspects of life? Can science provide all the answers? or: can it even ask all the questions? Indubitably, science has played an extremely important role in our society, but it has overlooked other aspects of life. Science by itself is a form of knowledge, not a stimulus to action. It can help us to adapt the means we employ to the ends we wish to achieve, it cannot choose the ends for us. It seems to me that this is where we, the students, can fulfill one of our functions. The most vital thing which this Association could set itself to do during the next decade is to serve as a stimulus to widespread free thought and social “progress,” as a clearing house for their results, and a forum for their discussion. With the tangibility of science, and with the intangibility of free discussion concerning other “non- materialistic” aspects of men, then, and only then can we say that “Progress is our most important product.” Boden Me Conn ehy Vi
