...less to be deplored. Instructional vivisection is at best but a clumsy means of imparting surgical knowledge. The experiment can be followed by only a limited number of students; it must inevitably be somewhat hurried. Long have medical men sought for some instrument of instruction between a live guinea-pig and a lifeless diagram. Last week, in Paris, the cinema was turned to this purpose. Professor Lapique of the Paris Medical School presented a film featuring the vivisection of a dog. Medical students looked on, took notes, asked questions. Announced in the press next day, the event gave rise...

There followed several years of wandering in the Far East, .with the Bunbury Expedition in New Guinea and elsewhere.

...predatory. Their wives drank cocktails, were migratory almost every night. The authorities demanded that the faculty?presumably in its soberer moments?confine itself to research laboratories. Even the student body was regarded not as boys and girls to be taught, but as a corpus vile, a collection of human guinea pigs tolerated for experimental purposes. Disillusioned, Joan left the campus, marched to the altar, departed for the fireside. The book is a passionate polemic against present university conditions, and (although the authoress does not realize it) against coeducation.
