SAYS LACK OF INDIVIDUAL THINKING IS GREAT DANGER

Originality of modern judgment is endangered by a lot of sloppy stuff we call "group thinking'," said Professor W. G. S. Adams, Gladstone Professor of Political Theory and Institutions at Oxford, in a lecture last night to the History Club.

"The people's power of real attention and of definite will is getting dangerously weak," continued Professor Adams. "The great danger threatening modern civilization is the lack of individual thinking.

"Scientific specializing in various departments is the great difficulty of our educational methods both here and abroad, but particularly abroad."
