This state of affairs is not due entirely to a lack of interest on the part of students for their studies. The fact is that neither the time nor the incentive for effective work is provided by the present tutorial system. To be anything like effective this system ought to occupy quite as much of a man's time as a full course. At present reading is assigned which takes as much time as a full course, and there is no opportunity to do it justice. The faculty has made no provision by which a student may be relieved...

In regard to the physical and other phenomena of psychical research it cannot be said too strongly, though it ought to be quite evident, that the true scientist investigates only under conditions which preclude fraud, and never allows himself to trust the honestly of the person he is examining. The CRIMSON refers to Dr. Hall's statement that 'physical manifestations dependent upon mediums can all be produced fraudulently.' It is inconceivable that...
