...extent of the news to be covered will be from June 1, 1928 to the date of the examination, and the type of examination will be similar to those of previous years. Tentative arrangements provide sets of true-false questions and identity questions to be answered in one hour, and a group of short summaries in "editorial style" not exceeding some 250 words each on eight or ten questions to be selected from a designated list and to be written in two hours. The latter arrangement is intended to replace the "essay topics" that have formed part of previous examinations...
That it is sensationalism seems to anyone at all familiar with the facts too obvious to need proof. The picture Mr. Pringle draws of the Yale man is only slightly less amusing to a Harvard undergraduate than the similar caricatures of himself that he may have been surprised to find are taken seriously by people who ought to know better. And yet it is a strange fact that while no one would believe such tales about clerks or office boys, for the collegian there are scarcely any bounds of credibility...
...likewise ... he found a broken-down melodeon. Some of the pipes would sound, however. . . ." I do not know who told you that melodeons have "pipes," but it is a considerable mistake. They have reeds, and bellows, just like a common house-organ. They are encased, though, in a body similar to, but very much smaller than, the old-fashioned "square" piano. There are two treadles but they are not like the treadles of the organ, being rods run from the foot to the upright rod that connects with the bellows. The right foot is used to pump air; the left...
...this that we are attempting to do. During the fall research has been centered about the problems of suggestibility, and an attempt has been made by Mr. Herbert L. Barry to discover the correlation, if any, that exists between hypnotic suggestibility and group suggestibility. Coincident with this and other similar pieces of research a number of studies of the psychoneuroses have been completed. It has been possible, for instance, to bring about marked improvement in several refractory cases of compulsion neurosis. Such intimate contacts with the real world are good antidotes for occasional excursions into the metaphysical voids of frictionless...
...unconscious however that has raised the most bitter antagonism. To the psychologists who have had a first hand acquaintance with the eccentricities of the mind it has become increasingly clear that a complete description of mental phenomena was impossible without the supposition of processes in every way similar to those subjectively apprehended as psychical occurring outside the field of awareness. This had led to the paradoxical notion of "unconscious conscious processes", which has so puzzled the academic psychologists. This idea, however, should not in any way be disquieting, if like many concepts of physics for instance, it is understood...
