Physiologists do not like the. words which the psychologists use. ‘For,’ said Dr. Lodholz, “introspection, a word com- mon to the psychologists, is the poorest tool that a scientist can use. It means a projected self, a term which the physi- -ologist-doeesn’t-like._Now_again, the word |'3 ‘soul’ as the psychologists use it has ‘con- nection with. human entity. It fits in concept with immortality. .The.physiolo-' gist, however, finds no help in that. The physiologist is -not~ {nterested’ in the corpse. He is only interested in life, changes But he could not know life. or change. So the soul seems a corpse to him. However in the dynamic: concept of, the soul, the-mind comes in. And the mind is more useful to the physiologist. It-has fundamentals for. its basis.” * In announcing the subject of. the eve- ning, “the Physiological outlooks of Personality,” Dr. Lodholz - said “that the word personality” is deliberately. taken. It is a new word . It means everything that happens in the human being.” “Tam afraid you won't like it,” con- tinued Dr. Lodholz. “For the subject is extremely physiological. I am only going to deal.with a phase of the prob- lem. It involves that which is extremely materialistic. Nevertheless it has a posi- tion in.the study of the problem.” ” CONTINUED ON.

As it has-been stated in this column before, we are only too glad to. print letters voicing. a common opinion about college lifé arid activ- ity. Here is the chance for ‘the down-trodden, and the oppressed to give vent to their- feelings in such a way that the whole college will _ either agree and join with them in constructive criticism, or rise up in wrath and uphold the cause firmly, as the case may be. Aside. from being a anere mirror of college activity our journalistic at- tempt will then become a mirror of current . thought, and ‘provide - a chance for those with the desire, to debate, yet who find themselves ter- tified by. public. speaking, to. show 2 their wit and skill through the me- dium of that well-known article, the pen. EFFECTIVENESS AND AFFECTEDNESS Someone -was-heard to-remark in a discussion of.a.noted person, who ‘visited Bryn Mawr’ recently, that her affectedness was effective. Just ’ how- far does the effect depend on _affectation? Is this a plea for insin- ~~ verity, for delibere ees choosing ‘the, many are taking up the’style. type we wish to be? If so why is there an almost universal desire to express one’s own personality, to be- conte individual, not stereotyped? But perhaps it does not mean this at all, but that we can consciously build ourselves into a personality, and so become radiant, magnetic beings. If this is so here’s to bigger and better msincerity ! KNITTING AGAIN? . We remember in Dickens’s Tale of Two Cities how the women knit in the courts of the Reign of Ter- ror. We also remember the time when our mothers knitted for the soldiers in the last war. And we are told that our grandmothers used to go to the knitting clubs. And here is knitting again! If you go through the halls, or (if you are at leisure) pay a visit to the different rooms, or better "still, sit down for a while in the smoking rooms, you will see flashes of red, een, blue, lavender and what not! ou may for a moment wonder what these colors mean.

SOME ‘CHANGE, PLEASE It is a strange thing how long an uncivilized tradition can persist. in a community which prides itself on its high degree of civlization—skits, for instance. For many college generations Bryn Mawr undergraduates have gone on seeing and writing the same type of things: .~a few , well-chosen indecencies, as some one character- ized them. Year -after year the same characters, the same jokes, the same insinuations. They might be amus- ing once a year, or oncein four years, but we laboriously reproduce them on every occasion that requires entertainment. Are we ‘so totally devoid of originality that we can think of nothing-new--te—be-.funny about ; or are our tastes so depraved that we are amused only by what is unprintable, and has to be uttered behind closed doors, | only, like a censored movie?

Another way of controlling the mechanism is by inhibi- tion. Animals can not live without in- hibition. The act of breathing is inhibi- tion, or else the food will go down to the trachea. Anger and fear can be suppressed also. This is mental sup- pression.. If jungle reactions, are not suppressed, they ‘might lead to maladjust- ment which ‘8° immorality. “What happens if the reactions are sup- pressed? ‘A state of inactivity ensues. But sometimes the reactions may persist for a long time in a slight degree. And suddenly burst into attion again. This shows the fact that they possess potency. This’ we are not conscious of. But it is very dominant. It is truly said that we are what the unconscious makes us. “The sense of suppression exists only in man. It is the origin of shame.

The Harpweaver, including the poem from which the book gets its title. From chese she proceeded to recite, some poems ‘about ‘ children which have been pub- lished -in Harpers under the title From «A Very Little Sphinx btt have not yet heen .fitted into any volume of collections. There followed Exiled and the. first poems in Second April called Memorial 10 D. C. whoSe “separate titles didn’t mat- ter;” according to their aiithoress. Then jour very short selections in a much lighter vein were read from A. Few Figs “Tt becomes very hard to te!l, what to read next,” Miss Millay con- fessed at this juncture. “Perhaps I’d better try some poems from my latest bcok, The Buck in the Snow. It'll be ex- perimental reading because. no audience has ever heard them before. I hope vgu won't objéct to them, particularly. two very small poems from the second section of this book which has not been generally understood.. These’ poems were’; written after the execution of Sacco and ~ Vanzetti, a matter which. had a profound induence upon me.” And. so Miss Millay chose seven.of the poems in her newest ook: Summer, There at Dusk I. Found : Vou, The Buck in the Snow, The Am- bush, To Those. Without Pity and two sonnets. Then the poetess closed all her ef * tle’ volumes, summoned her husband to’ move an. obstructing table, commanded more light, and suddenly converted her- se:f into four actors that strutted gayly through the tiny scenes of her moral interlude, Two Slatterns and a King. The audience seemed to enjoy. greatly this novel ‘conclusion to Miss Millay’s. program. Their long-sustained applause betokened _ their eagerness for more, poetry, ‘drama, anything and thotgh. they were given two encores: Travel and Afternoon on a Hill, their appetite was hut whetted.. Perhaps they wanted to be asked to choose some poems for. the poetess to read;on-perhaps when they saw. Miss Millay~-fiem-in her re‘usal. to read more they wished that she had | omitted the children’s verses and some cther more trivial poems, and had per- sisted upon the higher note of the D. C. poctry. However such an audience as this one that filled Geodheart on Thurs- ‘lay night would only have been satisfied iY Edna St. Vincent Millay had read all of her poetical works.
