GOODNESS DUE TO NATURAL DEVLOPMENT SAYS DAVIS

In the Parlor of Phillips Brooks House yesterday afternoon Dr. W. M. Davis '69, professor-emeritus of Geology spoke on the "Natural History of Goodness", stressing the fact that the study of goodness is capable of scientific and logical treatment, and that goodness is a development due to a natural growth.

"To approach a subject scientifically," said Mr. Davis, "students must be ready to believe many things, and must be prepared to carry the evidence to its conclusion, even though it upset some previous beliefs or opinions. If they add to previous knowledge a careful and orderly consideration of the topic, and shape their beliefs to accord with new facts, then the scientific process begins, and subjects treated in this manner, when they exist in the field of nature, become natural history.
