From the outset, therefore, we had no doubts as to the purpose and possibility of this professional school. It should seek to train business executives and be satisfied with nothing less. Otherwise it forfeits its right to stand on the same level with the older professional schools. Its graduates must of course, start in the lower ranks and many may never reach the highest commands. Over their heads will often pass, though perhaps less frequently in the future, gritty, gifted men from the lowest ranks. A progressive society must follow Napoleon's maxim of "careers open to talent." But accumulating...
Hallucinations and Religions. More women suffer from religious hallucinations than do men, at least in the Chicago experiences of George Washington University's I. C. Sherman. As many institutionalized Jews as Roman Catholics have paranoidal trends. Protestants suffer less so. Every third Protestant, every fourth Catholic, every seventh Jew has hallucinations.

Last week he was in Africa collecting specimens for a purpose which Yale's President James Rowland Angell reluctantly (for fear of meddlesome publicity) told the psychologists. That purpose is no less than to establish an anthropoid farm in Florida, where Professor Yerkes will spend most of his time comparing simian and human emotional and mental processes...

Whether by some inherent strain of grace which prevents Englishmen from making final, unlovely exertions, or by some inscrutable play of chance, U. S. polo had again shown itself indomitably superior to British play. Since 1927 hard-riding gentlemen from the British Isles, traditional home of the polo-minded, have twice tried to capture the International trophy from...
