晨六点三刻起。上午阅沈存中《梦摸笔谈》。卡→点至西华大楼晤李培德牙医。十二点回。今日出布告,为数学系四年级生廖崇美不守网球场规则,擅自出启事,引起壁报侮辱师长,记大过一次。自治会蒋世澄、吴士攘二人曾来,为廖崇美缓颊,不许。渠等又以壁报谩骂将处分壁报负责人陈业荣,请暂时展缓,待自治会修改壁报章程后再说。因目前壁报章程主编者对于送稿者有闻必录,且不准说出姓名也。
此事提出下午三点行政会议讨论,费四十分钟。假南提出办法未获通过,交训导委员会复议。次讨论教职员余额项下作福利基金应如何分配案,结果照预算委员原议发给每员工薪水半个月,其余若有余,则作为福利委员去支配。福利委员人选已揭晓。出版委员与图书委员会亦同时揭晓。晚约工学院新到教授曾继择(电创7机)、邹元嫌(化工)、陈运镜(机械)、戴昌晖(航空)、施有光、吴志华(均农化)晚膳,并约乔年、鸿遣、邦华、劲夫作陪。
O. W. Hol附s , Max Lerner , 1946 , pp. 394-398 , “Natural Law” (first published1918). 1 used to say , when 1 was young , that the truth was the majority vote ofthat nation that could lack a11 others. Certainly we may expect that the received opinionabout the p陀sent war (第一次大战) will depend a good deal upon which side wins ,and 1 that the statement was correct in so far as it implied that our test of truth is a referenceto either a present or an imagined future majority in favor of our view. … Ce时itudeis not test of certainty. We have been cocksure of many things that were not so.Property , friendship & truth have a common root in time. One cannot be wrenched fromthe rocky crevices into which one has grown for many years without feeling that one isattached in one’s life what we most love and revere generally is determined by early 邸,soclatJons.1 love granite rocks and barberry bushes , no doubt because with them were my earliestjoys that reach back through the post eternity of my life. But while one’s experiencethus make certain preference dogmatic for oneself, recognition of how they came to be ,so leaves one able to see that other poor souls , may be equally dogmatic about somethingelse. And this again means scepticism. Not that one’s belief or love does not 陀main, not that we would not fight and die for it if important we all , whether we knowit or not , are fighting to make the kind of world that we should like but that we havelearned to recognize that others will fight and die , to make a different world with equalsincerity or belief. Deep seated preferences can not be argued about – and thereforewhen differences are far reaching , we tηto kill the other man rather than let him havehis own way.O. W. H.οl附s , p. 396. The jurist who believe in natural law ~em to me to be inthat naïve state of mind that accepts what has been familiar and accepted by them andtheir neighbor as something mu自t be accepted by all m芒n everywhere. No doubt it is truethat , so far as we can see ahead some aπangements & the rudiments of familiar institutionseem be necessary elements in any society that may spring from our own and wouldseem to us to be civilized. … But without speculating whether a group is imaginable inwhich all but the last of these might disappear and the last be subject to qualificationsthat most of us would abhor , the question remained as to the “ought” of natural law.
