Page Three Defines Truth As Reality Distinguishes Two Types of Knowledge Truth is a reality which must be deeply rooted in our minds so as to be come a part of ourselves, said the Rev erend John Wellmuth, S.J., speaking to the Philosophy club on the Philosopher's Attitude Toward Truth, on Oct. 17. Father Wellmuth, chairman of the Philosophy department at Loyola uni versity, defined truth as bringing one's mind in accordance with reality. A philosopher cannot be content with pos sessing truth by mere belief, he went on, because he cannot rely upon the very uncertain evidence of someone else's mind. There are two types of knowledge, he asserted, knowledge of facts and knowl edge of reasons. Knowledge of a fact is not enough for a philosopher, Fa ther explained. Knowledge of why a thing is so is philosophical knowledge. This kind of knowledge makes possible integration in the mind and enables man to act ra tionally. If we see why things are, Father explained, our conclusions will not be just the results of emotion. The re sultant ability to discern reasons, Fa ther asserted, can be acquired only gradually as a result of personal effort and deliberate analyzation. Dramatist Advises: See Great Plays Charging that theatre managers have allowed the wrong attitude toward Shakespearean drama to grow up in this country in the past 40 years, Clayton Hamilton, lecturer, author, and actor, declared here on Wednesday that Shakespeare cannot be adequately ap preciated in the library and the class room. It must be seen as well as read. Guest of the Laetare Players, Mr. Halmilton is affiliated witli the Theatre Guild production of A Winter's Tale, which will be produced in Chicago this fall. What Goes On . . . n*VEN though the Indians deserted * ' you and forgot to warm you with their make-believe bonfires last week end, we buttoned our coats a little tight er and braved the fall winds to gather the news, so that you wouldn't feel left out in the cold again. INSPIRED by the beautiful white taf- * fcta material sent from France by her brother, Louise Pesut spent the last few weeks of her summer vacation making spreads, ruffled pillow cases, curtains, and a dressing table skirt for the room she shares with Margaret McCormick in Philomena hall. DINGS that sparkle and fit on the * *third finger left hand are worn by- Ella Endres, freshman, who is engaged to Pfc. Erwin Andrews, now serving with the army of occupation in Ger many, and Aim Holinger, junior, who received her ring from Lt. Gordon For ester, serving aboard a destroyer. A ND then there were 40 that is. * counting the bewildered young cor poral who found himself surrounded by a solid section of 39 Laetare Players at their recent theatre party. As curtain time approached for THE TEMPEST, the corporal took on the characteristics of a jack-in-the-box, compelled by a military sense of polite ness to bob up and out into the aisle each time a collegiate theatre-goer ap proached his row. Feeling, doubtless like a single gum drop in a box of chocolates, he timidly- asked where all the girls were from, and, upon being informed, looked jubilant, then a little dashed. Somebody take a picture, quick he exclaimed. The fellows back at the barracks will never believe it
