...Orgone Box is a half-forgotten invention of the late Dr. Wilhelm Reich, one of Sigmund Freud's more brilliant disciples, who in his middle years turned into an almost classic specimen of the mad scientist. The device was supposed to gather, in physical form, that life force which Freud called libido and which Reich called orgone, a coinage derived from "orgasm." The narrow box, simply constructed of wood and lined with sheet metal, offered cures for almost all the ills of civilization and of the body; it was also widely believed to act, for the person sitting inside...
...first working session Canon Max Warren, general secretary of Eng land's Church Missionary Society, rose to contend that "God was at work" in a pair of non-Anglican thinkers who are customarily linked among religion's enemies: Karl Marx and Sigmund Freud.

He was equally skillful at producing hard-to-get goodies, or black-marketing their clothes or Western currency for a handsome profit. He always went out of his way to help the lonely ones, showed them the sights, even...
Coincidentally with the fall from prominance of Quincy's politicians came the departure of its first senior tutor, Paul E. Sigmund, Jr., who left last month to become an Associate Professor of Politics at Princeton. Sigmund's successor, Larry D. Benson, like Master John M. Bullitt '43, is a member of the English department, a fact that may hasten the House's reorientation. Further, there will soon be a heavy turnover among Quincy's large staff of resident tutors which may reduce the present over-representation of the social sciences...
