This is the first spring forseveral years that it has been unnecessary tomake a spring canvass for funds.Dr. Shaler Matthews of the Divinity School,Chicago University, delivered an address inNormal Chapel Sunday, May 16, at 3 :00 p. m.His theme was, The Higher Philanthrophy.He based his remarks on the words of Christas recorded by St. John, the ninth chapter andthirty-sixth verse. The blind man after hehad received his sight was in a worse conditionthan before. Then he could live from moneygiven in charity but now he must depend uponhimself. He now represented a greater socialproblem than before.Dr. Matthews said: If Christ had left theman without further help, He wTould not be thekind of Christ that I would care to serve. ButChrist sought him afterward and aided himfurther. It is possible to aid a person in amisdirected way and leave him a parasite onsociety. This principle is coming to be recognized as one of the most important sociologicalproblems of our day. Whenever we aid a person, we are then responsible to him for furtheraid. He who awakens a need in anothers mindplaces a responsibility upon himself to assistin relieving that need. Helping to relieve onesneed after you have awakened that need iswhat the speaker termed the truer, inner, andhigher philanthrophy.SOCIETYAT HLET A.The Athletas gave their third annual danceMay 14.
