Prof. Leuba of Bryn Mawr College, @ noted psychologist, was reported in despatches published yesterday as having just completed a canvass of 6,500 men of acience throughout this country and to have discovered an astonishingly large percentage of them who reject a bellef in a personal God and immortality. There is now in session at Colum- bla Untversity the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science, |@ body which includes in its fellow- ship a majority of the great scientific minds of the times, In order to test, in this gathering, the reported find- \ings of Prof. Leuba, in short, to learn | the beliefs upon these two subjects of f@s many of the convened scientists ‘as were willing to express bellef, fully |Afty of them were interviewed by The Evening World.

Two replied that “it de pended upon the definition of the word ‘personal one was not a be- Never in “the strict materialistic theory, and one, declaring that “Ab- raham Lincoln still lives,” added that he believed “the resurrection of thi body gross.” Prot. A. A. Noyes, of the Massa chusetts Institute of Technology, one of a large number of visiting eclentists who refused to express his views or beliefs, said: “I have seen the statement by Prof. Leuba. His original questions were hardly fair. One was put most Indeil- cately, to say the least. He did not ask in his letter if we believed in a personal God. His question as I re- member It was ‘Do you believe in the efficacy of prayer; that ts, do you believe that prayer can change the natural order of things? The ques- tion regarding immortality was a straight question. But really the sub- ject is a delicate one, and I do not care to express my views on the sub- Joct.” MANY SCIENTISTS AFRAID OF PUBLICITY. There was marked disinclination amofig a largo number of the mem- vers of the association to be inter- viewed upon this theme if their names wore to be used, although they frank- ly gave their views upon the under- standing they were not to be named and quoted. Of ten of these, eight wero admitted unbelievers both in God and immortality, whereas two held to the orthodox view. And quite as frankly as they gave their views did several of them explain their un- willingness to be quoted by saying os eS ee Formerly Sold to 12” Sizes Broken No Credits, \ (| that euch publicity would “trurt them in their profession” or that they would “lose their positions” if they expressed themselves. Another scien- tist explained his unwillingness to answer was based upon the knowl- edge that a revelation of his sentt- ments would displease bis family. Dr. L, O. Howard, Permanent Secre- tary of the Association, refused to record his beliefs, but he did say: “Some of us are fairly well thought of until we break loose with some- thing like that, and then some people have no more use for us.” Dr. Simon Flexner, director of lab- oratories of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, who delivered a lecture yesterday afternoon on in- fantile paralysis, laughed heartily when asked his opinion, “I have no opinion on the subject,” he said, “I don't think about such things,” |_ Dr. W. H. Burnham of Clark Unt- versity also refused to talk. Ho said that It would not be fair to print the views of a few without interviewing {all the officers and members of the society. He was reminded that there j were nearly 10,000 members of the | association and allied organizations in session here, but that did not change his determination not to dis- cuss the subject. Here follow the views of the eigh- teen scientists who answered the question, “Do you believe in a per- sonal God and immortality?” and consented that their names be used: “IMMORTAL IN WHAT THEY LEAVE BEHIND.” Prof. Henry H. Goddard, psycholo- gist of the Training School at Vine- land, N. J.—My conception of God is not personal, I cannot concelve the common church conception of God, of a being who cares personally what |1 do or say. He ts too big—there, © makes us talk of this Supreme Being as a person- He is far above human action, The resur- reotion of the body 1s gross. Abra- hain Lincoln js allve to-day. If 1 do anything really immortal In what 1 leave behind, Prof. H. H. Horne, Professor of the History of Philosophy and Education at New York Untversity—My beliefs very strong. I believe in a per- al God and in immortality, and there 1s espectal reason for belief in these days of scientific investigation, We can never disprove God and the need of God in our individual and social life, The loss of hope of im- mortallty would tend to weaken the seriousness of lite and, consequently, the grip of morals, Prof. C. C. Nutting, Professor of Zoology in Iowa State University— What you ask is a matter of belief and not of knowledge. I belleve that there is something which 1s a Creator, I can only think of Him as personal, It seems to me impossible for any one to comprehend this Creator in any way save as personal, There is nothing in sclence which militates against a personal God. I believe also in immortality Liberty Bailey, formerly Dean of the Agricutural College at Cornell University—L am emphatic in my belief in tmmortality and God. if you mean God in the form of a human being I say no, It all depends the definition of “personal.” I base my belief in immortality on the universal desire of the human soul, natural expectation ness, and 1 can't explain life other- wise. IN MAN EXISTS AFTER DEATH.” Prof, A. E. Verrill, Professor I itus of Zoology at Yale University All of us believe in a Creator, but how far we can carry the word “per. sonal” I don't know. It all depends upon what is meant by “personal.” 1 belleve in immortality f some sort, but not in the disembodied spirit looking just like a person, for in- stance, Something in man exists after death—call it a soul or any thing else-—but I don't believe in the strict. matertalistic theory.

Prof. A. Duncan Yooum, professor of Educational Research, University of Pennsylvania—I have the most firm belief in God and immortality.
