'Value' Forum Ends Tonight; Theologians Analyze Beliefs

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

William E. Hocking '01, Alford Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, and Perey W. Bridgeman, Hollis Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, will conclude the Law School Forum's five-day symposium on "Values for Modern Man" with a general discussion tonight. The final talk will get under way at 8 p.m. in the Cambridge High and Latin School auditorium.

The two Faculty members will be joined on the panel of experts tonight by Dean Walter G. Mueldor of the Boston University Theological School. Lon L. Fuller, Carter Professor of General Jurisprudence, moderates the program.

Previous Talks More Specific

The four previous discussion took up the question of "Values for Modern Man" in four specific areas of learning. Professors Howard Mumford Jones and F.O. Matthiessen spoke Monday on values from the point of view of "Arts and Letters." At the second meeting professor Sorokin and others discussed values in the social sciences.

Wednesday professors Frank and le Corbellier noted the effect of science on human values.

Philosopher's View

Hocking will present the philosopher's ideas, and Bridgeman, Nobel Prize winner in Physics, the scientist's technique. Dean Muelder, member of the Civil Liberties Union and author of "An Historic Outline of the Bible," is expected to present both a religious and social interpretation of the problem.
