...more conscientious but less inspired workers. The illumination that comes from the interplay of imagination and practical experience needs to be merged with scientific methodology, rather after the fashion of the experiments Dr. Morton Prince '75, before more progress is to be anticipated. It is this that we are attempting to do. During the fall research has been centered about the problems of suggestibility, and an attempt has been made by Mr. Herbert L. Barry to discover the correlation, if any, that exists between hypnotic suggestibility and group suggestibility. Coincident with this and other similar pieces of research a number...
...parentage rooted in charlatanism and black magic. Sex and other so-called "Freudian material" tabooed by squeamish and soft-boiled natures are included in this domain. There is a rumor abroad, moreover, that psychopathology advocates the removal of repressions; the very repressions which all parents in an attempt to subdue "Old Adam" have so diligently planted and nurtured in the minds of their children. It is supposed that psychoanalysis in the Samuel Butler manner cries "J'accuse" to the older generation.

With an all-inclusive view and swayed by destructive tendencies he sketches the degenerated conditions prevalent in our institution, and deplores in rather forceful language those who dwell within its walls. Woe unto Harvard...
...college of the size and nature of Harvard can give no single man, much less Mr. Seldes, a complete view of its nature. There seem to be so many characteristics of Harvard that no individual can see them all from his limited position. For example, one may attempt to classify the student body. He will find, among others, six groups--those dominated by a social complex, those with an intellectual complex, a pecuniary complex, an athletic complex, or a combination of these complexes, and finally, those with no complexes at all. Which is predominant is a matter open to question...
