ERIK HETLE GERTRUDE M. HILLEBOE COMFORT HINDI-:RLIE ELLA HJEHTAAS Physics Dean. of Women Piano Voice ROGER BACGN HE story of man's progress is very largely the story of men who have had the courage to break with the intellectual and spiritual outlook of the mass and constantly to force authority and tradition to prove their case. Such men are isolated in their age, lonely and usually persecuted in the approved form of their time. In all respects Roger Bacon is in character. In his teaching at Oxford and in hiswritings he attacked the methods of the most prominent teachers of his day. He charged that their dogmatic method hid their ignorance, and that argument from authority and tradition could produce no true learning. He maintained that no true progress could he made in the Natural Sciences without experimentation, himself performing some fundamental experiments. He explained the formation of the rain- bow and is by some credited with the invention of gunpowder, the telescope, and so forth, also writing several books. But his greatest merit and that which gives him rank as the founder of modern science, is his insistence that experience alone must he the test of scientific truth. ERIK HETLE. PETER O.

Leopold Von Ranke, the penetrating Historian of the Reformation. With him legend and tradi- tion found no favorg original manuscripts opened to him the truth he sought and marked him as a scientific historian. Facts were never warped to support some abstract theory, and he was ever contemptuous of writers of history who so usurped the historical field. Strange as it may seem, though he lived during the turbulent years of the Revo- lutions in Europe and during the days of the growing spirit of nationalism, neither of these ideas gripped him as clicl the Reformation, which he marked as the begin- ning of lVloclern History. With remarkable skill he united the Reformation History of Germany, England, France and Italy to form one related whole. To the whole world his studies stand as the work of a scholar, whose intense insight into all the phases of the Reformation marks it as a power in the more correct analysis of that great movement.
