July 16, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 11 Man's Destiny Points to High Spiritual Plane Man is so adaptable and is capable of such rapid evolution that no one has the right to declare he can not develop from his present condition, part physic al and part spiritual, to a higher plane where the spirit will be supreme. So indicated Dr. Franklin D. Baker, head of the zoology department of North- western university, in an address this week in Harris Hall, Evanston campus, before Northwestern summer students and the public. His lecture was on the theme "The Destiny of Man," and was illustrated. "The philosopher generally consigns man to oblivion, the theologian to heaven or hell," said Dr, Baker. "Is there any scientific evidence as to the destiny of man? Scientific Philosophy of Life "The open minded study of animals and animal life reveals many facts and principles that are exceedingly sugges- tive and helpful in formulating a philosophy of life that is scientific and at the same time inspiring. Some of the observable outstanding and funda- mentally important facts in the study of animal life are the plasticity or adaptability of living things and their almost infinite potentiality. These are evident in the varied morphological patterns that the same structure may assume as the fore-leg, arm and wing. That such seemingly different struc- tures are but adaptations and modifica- tions of a common structure is strik- ingly proven by the illuminating study of their development or embryology. "Man stands supreme in animal crea- tion due to the unusual development of his brain. All other animals are more or less the slaves of their environ- ment and man alone 'is free for his creative mind has given him the mastery. tiny. "The marvelous brain of man had a| very humble beginning as shown in a comparative study of the nervous sys- tems and brains of lower animals.

"The method of development and the latent potentiality .of the human brain are the unmistakable marks that clearly indicate the road that man is traveling to a definite destiny.
