...suicide and further sound scholarship. When it was understood that Dr. Shaw of the Department of Hygiene was competently fulfilling this office, black hints were circulated to the effect that the new group was about to conduct a systematic investigation of certain enigmatical obsessions prevalent in the Faculty. This notion was dismissed, however, when the appendage to the department of Psychology was sloughed out of Emerson Hall and quartered upon the most remote plot of land owned by the University. It was obvious that this geographical dissociation prohibited the possibility of a close analysis of faculty behaviour...
...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. The notion of the much-heralded Oedipus complex and the suggestion that the parent must adjust to the child rather than vica versa is disquieting and seems hopelessly impractical.

On the notion that Schubert lived his life unrecognized, that today many talented young U. S. musicians are threatened with the same plight, it organized for the purpose of establishing a contact between them and "the representative musical public." Baldly, its plan is to sponsor debuts, dress them glamorously that many and important listeners will be attracted, including-and it was severely stressed-leading critics whose verdicts supposedly...
