Philosophy Cluh Honors Feast Of Thomas Aquinas Cardinal Treats Analysis, Synthesis In The Summa Saint Thomas was not a destroyer but a builder. It was his tremendous power tc analyze clearly and then to synthesize to a Christian structure that made thi Dominican philosopher one of the great forces which reaches out through all history and has an intimate in fluence on the civilization we have built up in the western world. This was the message of His Emi nence, Samuel Cardinal Stritch, Chan cellor of the College, in his lecture to the student body, under the auspices of the Philosophy club, March 8, in hon or of the feast of St. Thomas. Under the topic, Saint Thomas and Contemporary Problems, Cardinal Stritch pointed out the necessity of ob taining a broad, outline picture of the Summa Thcologica. The Cardinal pointed out that mod ern errors arise from overemphasis of analysis at the expense of synthesis, or of synthesis at the expense of analy sis, and showed that St. Thomas avoided both errors by the marvellous balance of his mind. We must go back to Saint Thomas and catch the great Christian vision. We must see what the apostles saw when Our Lord took them to the Mount of the Transfiguration, said the Cardinal.
