SUMMER SCHOOL COMPLETES
PLANS FOR ANOTHER YEAR
Fifty Local Groups Now Organized
to Recruit Students and get Funds
Alumnae Helps in Work
2
NEED TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS:
(Specially. Contributed by Miss Hilda S mith,
Director of the Summer School)
Two days of. sub-committee meetings,
followed by the regular meeting of the
Joint Administrative Committee on Febru-
ary 17 and 18, resulted in many important
decisions for the Summer School of 1923,
and practically completed its organization. |
As a result of the winter’s work, new
committees have been organized and are!
at work in many centers throughout the |
country, making in all about fifty local}
groups which are now actively engaged in!
recruiting students and in raising the schol-
arship fund. The South is now organized,
with Chairmen in at least ten-cities, who
will recruit students inthe great tobacco
and cotton industries of the Southern
States, and try to raise scholarships for
these workers to come to the School.
When one remembers the limited educa-
tional opportunities that these workers have
had, and the fact that in many of the
mills they are working from ten to twelve
hours a day, one begins to realize what it
must mean for one of these workers even
to. consider. going away- to School. — All
the weight of social tradition and of eco-
nomic pressure is against such a step, and
it is only the most eager and ambitious
girl who can hope to succeédin her struggle
for further education. In the face of the
greatest obstacles, our students of the past
two years have gone on with their studies,.
and have interested groups of their fellow
workers. A public library, started by one
of our last year’s students in“ mill town
where hardly a book has been seen before,
is only one of the many signs in the South
that it was worth while to have our group
of southern students in the School last
year. .
In the middle west, too, there are new
committees at work in the important dis- |.
tricts of Cleveland, Cincinnati and Detroit.
Out on the coast, the organization has been
strengthened by our local chairmen, and
from Seattle to Los Angeles plans are on
foot to find the most able girls for the
School this summer. Again the question
has been raised whether it is not too great
an undertaking to send students from the
coast to Bryn Mawr, and again the decision

TUTENKHAMON’S TOMB REVEALS
ART OF PECULIARLY. STIRRING
PERIOD
New Finds May Throw Light on Artistic
Relations With Crete
(Specially contributed by Dr. Rhys Car-
’ penter, continued from last week)
In those days there used to come to
Egypt, as tribute-bearing -subjects or as
independent traders, a people from an
island in the sea. That island we now
call Crete and its ancient inhabitants we
now recognize as an artistically highly
gifted people. It is clear that they in-
fluenced :the art of Akhnaton’s time and
that their fresh and unconstrained outlook
would havé appealed to that strangely un
Fgyptian person. - The Cretan influence
seems, however, to have ‘been negligible
except in pottery gnd painting; and Crete
in turn appears to have learned more than
‘she taught.
Perhaps the new finds ‘will throw more
light on these mutual artistic relations of
Egypt and Crete. In any ‘case they wil!
give a great deal of insight into~the-artis-
tic achievements of a peculiarly stirring’
period (and it must be remembered that
the art of Egypt is not much given to being
stirred). By all accounts the objects in
Tutenkhamon’s tomb are so rich and so
beautiful: that nothing like them has ever
before been seen. by ‘modern eyes. Wil?

DR. JAMES LEUBA SPEAKS
ON PSYCHOANALYSIS. °
Fre udian Theory Cobdenigtal Be
Exaggeration That Has Broken
Down ‘Barriers of the Mind”
LARGE AUDIENCE ATTENDS
Dr. James H. Leuba addressed an audi-
ence in the chapel last Friday evening on
“Psychoanalysis and Freudism,” explaining
the Freudian psychology and criticizing it.
lti3printed below with many- orffissions.
Most*of the illustrations of the Freudian
theories have had to be omitted.
“Tt is a rare exception,” began Dr. Leuba,
“when a movement .originating with men
of science spreads with the swiftness char-
acteristic. of contagious religious beliefs—
of Christian Science, for instance, Psy-
choanalysis is such an exception. It is no
longer only the physician and the psycholo-
gist who talk about repression, complexes,
the censor, transference, etc. The Freu-
dian vocabulary has become a hausehold
vocabulary; it i$ heard in clubs, on the
streets, and even in the flirtatious conver-
sations of our young people. -Psych@anal-
_| ysis is a method of curing certain human
disorders. — But the widespread interest
aroused by the Freudian psychology is not
in whatever promises a_ restoration to
health. The opportunity it gives to dwell
on the alluring mysteries of sex-life and
in particular of its abnormalities, accounts
for much of the fascination exerted upon
man, both young and old, by the teaching
of this school. There is a third reason
for the popular success of Freudism, that
is its conception of human nature. Ac-
cording to its teaching, the mind is not
the open book which most of us take it to
be. “In addition to the thoughts, the feel-
lings, and the purposes of which you are
aware as your own, there is going on in
you, and simultaneously, a -current of
thoughts, feelings and desires of which
you know nothing and which determine
much of your behavior. It is this hidden
unconscious activity that causes your
tongue or your pen to slip, that produces
your dreams, and that is responsible for
strange psycho-neurotic diseases and even
for several classes of insanity. According
to this view of the mind, most, if not all
yotir past is ever with you—and most of
it dives a subterranean, I.mean a conscious
existence of which you are not aware—
ever ready cunningly to interfere with
your’ conscious purposes, so that your overt
speeches and actions are often mere pup-
pets of a deeper, more primitive, and non-
moral self, the existence of which is re-
vealed only to those who possess the psy-
choanalytical key. *s
this psychology was in its essential traits
true and -helpful. Unfortunately, it con;
tains, together with much truth borrowed
from the already established psychology, a
considerable portion of exaggerations and
even of. radically false theory. The fact
that the important. Freudians, here and
abroad, are not professional psychologists
should be borne in mind when one attempts
to estimate the significance of the united’
opposition of men of science to much in
the Freudian theories. Freudism is an off-
spring, albeit perhaps an illegitimate off-
spring, of a great scientific movement orig-
inating with physiologists, psychiatrists, and
physicians; a movement which, because it
entirely derived from a natural curiosity «
“One would rejoice at these features if ~
{Seems to subordinate matter to -mind,. has...
also provided the impetus for a variety
of powerful religious sects.

“POLICY 0.1.CE MORE
According to the over-popular French-
man, simple. repetition can accomplish won-
ders. With faith in this assurance - we
venture to reiterate once. more that the
policies of the News are policies under-
taken as a board and not as individuals.
This is precisely the reason why articles

jected to sentiments or methods to go
straight to the writer and air their views.
‘Since the Board is itself direetly respon-
sible to its public it urges readers to bring
suggestions and objections directly to ani ,
editor, who will then see that the matter
is discussed at a Board meeting, instead
of inquiring for the writer herself, an. in- ;
~quiry which is both senseless and futile.
NO REST FOR THE FAMOUS
French: tours, a tour to Rome, special
Italian. and Spanish tours have been or-
ganized. Now fast of all we read of an
expedition to Luxor to visit the tomb of
Tut-Ankh-Amen. Two hundred and fifty
tourists, including two Congressmen, have
sailed ‘on board the Adriatic. A special
train has been reserved for them to make
the rush trip of 600 miles from Alexan-
dria to Luxor, although they do not yet
know whether or not they will be allowed
- to go into the tomb. Probably these sight-
seers are but blazing the path for the sum-
mer tours that will be arranged for Amer-
ican college students, to be fully equipped
with motor buses and special guides for
gving the rounds of the tombs. No one
can ever Say that the American misses any-
thing! Poor Tut-Ankh-Amen would turn
in his grave, if a grave were still allowed
to him, at the very thought, and Bernard
Partridge’s cartoon of the harassed shade
of the Egyptian king looking for quiet
lodgings at No. 10 Downing Street may
have more truth in it than would appear.

-Paxton’s work is worthy of note. Her two
Mid-Victorian Boquets, of which she is
afraid after she has finished, are really
exquisite, and her Still Life is centered
upon a white china pitcher which has es-
sential nobility. Vladimir — Perfilieff’s
Purple Gown has an astonishingly lumt
'nous quality, and Cecilia Beaux’s portrait
of Mrs. James Blathwaite Drinker and Son
contains really great classical beauty.

and stability in composition, which will
leave strength and quiet for meditation,
Helen Turner's Portrait of Miss Withers,
Giovanni Troccoli’s Veteran of the Civil

Gilpin Bright, are striking examples of this
recent development.
The second sign is the sudden appear-
ance of real.emotion, conscious and com-
municable. “Many. years have passed,”
stated Miss King,
feeling in any Academy exhibition. This
sense of emotion is evident in @harles W.
Hawthorne’s American Woman, which has
extraordinarily lovely color. -The picture

Sleep, a picture of a pathetic Indian woman
stealing corn from another equally pathetic
Indian woman, misses because Ufer has
not the-intellectual power to carry on. The
painting stays a little mean, instead of in-
finitely tragic, but his other picture, Octo-
ber, is much better because it requires less
power. Martha Walter’s painting of an
Indian family, Ad Remnant of Old Cali-
fornia, gives expression to the rights of
those who have no protection, to the help-
lessness of those hunted like wild beasts.

determination of our’ former students to
find ‘the right applicants for the School,
as well as to the untiring work of. our
District Committees, if this high standard
is reached i in the group this summer.
»As a contrast‘to the bright prospects for
the personnel of the, student. body, the
financial situation At present is not very
encouraging. This fact, however, is ac-
counted for by the lack of Finance Chair-
men in three of our important districts,
and is somewhat compensated. for by the
fact that wherever a systematic effort has
been made to. secure funds, the pledges
have come in. Reports from many districts
show that through the effort of our former
students and our local committees, sehol-
arships’ are promised by various groups
of workers, , college students, women’s
clubs and _by many interested individuals.
In ev ery case the aim has been to secure
annual pledges, for at ‘least five years, So~y
far, twenty-five of these five-year scholar-
ships have been secured... For the next
three months, the Summer School adminis-
tration will concentrate. on completing the
budget for this year, by ‘raising $10,000 to
add. to the $20,000 already pledged, and
by building up permanent . committees in
districts which have not yet completed their
organization. An effort will be made also _,
to build up an Endowment: Fund, already
started by Mrs. Willard Straight with a
gift of $10,000, the income of which is to
be used for the Summer School.
On recommendation of a Special Com-
mittee appointed to study the budget, a sav-
ing of over $2000 has been effected, although
in some cases at the expense of cony enience
of arrangement for the summer. D: nbigh
and Mericn Halls will be used, as before,
and a wing of Pembroke-East for the
faculty. In order to save expense on cdok-
ing and serving food, only one diging-room .
will “be used, Denbigh ~sitting-room and
drawing-room being used to supplement the
dining-room space. One Physical Director
instead of-two will be employed, the posi-
tion of warden will be eliminated, the stu-
dents will be asked to take care of their
own rooms, and in every way..an_ attempt
will be made to reduce expenses as much
as possible. For this purpose, however,
little change can be made in the number
of the teaching staff, for the success of
this experiment in education must depend
largely on keeping the classes small, and
arranging if necessary for a good deal‘ of
individual work on the part of the tutors.
It is possible therefore to decrease the
number of tutors by three only, leaving
a total of eight instructors and fourteen
tutors, for the maximum number of 105
students. ;
As outlined at the last meeting of the
Joint Administrative Committee, each stu-
dent this summer will carry only two
subjects, doing workin the Division of
Modern Industrial Society, and in’ one
other, either the Science Division, or
in the Division of Literature, History
and Art. It is hoped that by this
arrangement of work, the students will
escape from the confusion of mind result-
ing from too great variety of subject mat-
ter, and that a further correlation may be’
made between the work of the different
departments. Second year students, for .
choose their work in these threg divisions,
tions of the Science classroom, and the
difficulty of knowing in advance how many
students will choose this division, it has
beens decided to limit the number enrollipg
in Science to about one-third of the School.
In addition to the regular work of the
curriculum, the whole School may use rec-
reation hours for work in the. Appreciation
and informal Nature Study. »

A new plan suggested by Dean Bontecou,
will be tried this year for the Vocational
by which people will be in-
vited to speak in Chapel instead of the
former plan of devoting an entire week-
end td the talks of special speakers,
The speeches will be. arranged so that
‘a gerferal survey of the portunities in
each field will be given. During the morn-
ing any student particularly interested in
the subject discussed will be able to make
an appointment with the speaker to tall
the matter over more fully. In the after-
noon, following each Chapel talk, it is
hoped that an informal round-table discus-
.sion with the speaker may be arranged. for
all students who care to come.

and though their tactics were perhaps
superior to the Seniors’, their weakness
lay-in poor shooting, rendered doubly use-
less by the stops of N. FitzGerald, who
made the goal almost impregnable. In
spite of being closely guarded, F. Briggs

ON PSYCHOANALY
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
“One of the larger and more general
differences existing. between this
new way of understanding the human mind
and the traditional way, is that Whereas
in the latter much that takes place in the
mental life is regarded as without particu-
lar significance, mere accidental coinci-
dences, meaningless lapses of memory, «
‘then is assigned to mechanical or- physio-
lose al causes; in Freudism most if not all
thoughts, emotions, and actions, whether
of the sane or of the insane, whether in
sleep or in waking, are supposed to possess
a definite significance, even when the per-
son ts not aware of it:
“Tt is about the conception of a hidden
mental life that the main
Freudism center. They may be
in three groups: ‘How is the, unconscious
mind formed? What are its effects upon
the conscious mind and the bedy? How
problems of
classed
be remedied ? ae
“The easier and most pleasant way to
become acquainted’ with the Freudian’ solu-
tion of these problems is by means of illus-
trations. Let us begin with slips of the
tongue and other similar errors. When
a speaker,-expected to address some courte-
ous words to the person whose place he is
taking, stumbles and says, ‘I am_not in-
clined to appreciate the merits of my prede-
cessor,’ no particular significance is usually
ascribed to his misfortune. Not so Freud.
He declares that ‘it is an open betrayal’
of a real intention of the speaker—an in-
tention which, it’ is true, may be hidden
in the Unconscious, so that he does not
realize its presence.
“This conception, fundamental to Ireu-
dian psychology, of the presence and oper-
ation of represséd wishes, is illustrated
also in forgetting. Brill informs us that
‘The Scottish professor who on a _ mo-
mentous occasion removed his every-day
clothes, and,
ner, -went-to-bed, cannot-be-excused on the
“absent-mindedness.” ’ He
really disliked the dinner and preferred te
go to bed. The unconscious desire not te
go to the dinner proved stronger than the
‘conscious one of being present. This is a
hard saying. Were he consistent, the Freu-
dian would havé to explain in the same
way the action of that other professor—
unless it be the same one—who, in the
course of preparing his breakfast, put his
watch instead of an egg into the boiling’
water. He should, have to say that the
professor preferred a boiled watch to a
boiled egg, even though he had never beet
aware of that preference!
“One of the proud claims of the Freu-
dians is that they have discovered the. sci-
ence and the art of interpreting dreams.
To an unsophisticated mind, dreams appear
to be in part remnants of the psychic ac-
tivity of waking life. External and inter-
nal stimuli co-operate in the making of the
dream; but the outcome is not what it
would be-in waking life because mental
activity is different. - The difference is due
to the narrowed range of the mental activ-
ity, i.e., to the néural dissociations exist-
ing in sleep and in all sleep-like states—
for instance in hypnosis, and in intoxication
by alcohol ‘and other narcotics.
to the Freudians, absdlutely instifficient for
the understanding of dream-life. Their
psychology of dreams may be roughly
summed up in five propositions: (1) The
dream assumes the form of a realization -
of desires denied in waking life. (2) The
dream is the guardian of sleep. (3) After
early infancy, most dreams are not open
manifestations of unrealized wishes. These .
wishes are expressed in -a way that con-
ceals them, so that not even the dreamer
can get at the real, the latent, content of
his dream without the aid of psycho-

“The similarities between the above prin-
ciples by which the Freudians would ex-
plain dreams, and those by which they
would account for errors of speech and oi

of suppressed unconscious wishes appears
in them all. The following is one of the
‘worst examples of the far-fetched expla-
nation of dreams. A man dreams that .1¢
‘climbs a mountain from which he has an
extraordinarily distant view.’ You may be
so naive as to. think that thig¢ dream has
been suggested by a recent mountain trip,
a conversation, or a picture. But you
would--be-mistaken; for, when questioned,
the dreamer recalls that an acquaintance of
his is editor of a Review dealing. with
topics referring to the furthermost parts
of the earth. ‘The latent. dream-thought,’
- says Freud, ‘is therefore in this case an
identification of the dreamer “with the
Review!’ ; :

women are playing an important role in
your life... .. Anyone armed with a sym-
bolism so rich and supple as this one, needs
but little imagination to turn anything into

aspects of this amazing teaching is that it
is not necessary ever to have known the

all, adult dreams and many dreams -of- the.},
“young child are sex-dreams. All campul-
sion neuroses arise from suppressed sex-
wishes; and the more we learn about de-
mentia praecox, paranoia, and other forms
of insanity, the more it becomes apparent,
according to the Freudians, that their
cause is to be. found mainly, if not ex-
clusively, in sex repressions and deviations.
“We delude ourselves when we think of |
the—child—_as__an asexual being; sexual
manifestations, for instance sucking, may
be observed in‘him very early. Freud’s in-
dictment against the child includes incest,
murderous jealousy and -auto-eroticism.
“The selection of the mother as an object
of love involves’ says Freud, ‘everything
we understand by the Oedipus complex.’
The Calvinist, Jonathan Edwards, New
England: divine, and first President of Yale
University knew not how truly he spoke
when he said that, however charming young
children may seem, they are worse than
vipers. ;
“When we turn to neurotic disorders,
we find that every instance of them is due
to sexuality that has not found the normal,
mature expression. The treatment of the
symptoms of neuroses forms one of. the
most interesting chapters in the Freudian
psych8logy. . Psychoanalysis is the prac-
tical application’ of the Freudian theories
to the cure of certain diseases., ‘The method /
is due to Breuer, Freud’s predecessor, who
discovered ‘that the symptoms disappear
when one has made the unconscious con-
scious.’ The patient is required to assume
a detached, neutral, passive attitude and
then to mention whatever comes to his
mind. He is not to make a selection; hc
is not ta.assume that this or that idea is
meaningless or irrelevant.and_need_not_be
“communicated. When the analyst hears
something that in his opinion. may bear
“upon the case, he directs the patient’s atten-
tion accordingly. Thus the inquiry pro-
ceeds, usually for several, sessions, until
“some past suppressed experience is re-

of the disorder. Se

upon the preliminary courses will be given
by lectures on French literature, history,
the history of arts, ahd miscellaneous sub-
jects such as the geography of the French
Alps (illustrated by means of lantern
slides), Descartes and Pascal, lyric poetry
in the nineteenth century, etc.
The finishing courses will be held at the
Sorbonne, University of Paris.. They will
last two weeks, and the thoroughly modern
and international trend of the lectures to
be given have gained for~these—courses
the appropriate title of “international fort-
night,” “la Quinzaine Internationale.”
However,. study alone eannot, after all,
give one an adequate idea of the French
people. The human factor is needed, and
_this more intimate daily touch is provided
by housing the students with French fam-
ilies carefully selected by the University
authorities, which has been’ found far more
preferable and_ profitable to the students
than residence at hotels or’ pensions,
Finally, both as a relaxation and as a
complement to the more formal indoor
study, eight days of travel through France
are provided, that will take the ‘students
over the most historic and scenically the
most beautiful parts of France. This pleas-
ant interlude is sandwiched in between the
preliminary courses and the finishing
courses at the Sorbgnne, so that no mat
ter which university may have been chosen
for the former, eight days of instructive
and delightful travel and two weeks in
Paris are assured to all students.
Receptions and social amenities as well
as participation in local athletic activities
for those inclined, will -give the students
a more intimate view of French life than
is vouchsafed to the average foreign
visitor. Week-end excursions, by auto-
,mobile, to nearby points of note will offer
opportunity for a very comprehensiye sur-
vey of France’s many natural advantages
And lest the taint of gain be thought to
mar this ideal incentive, the price is quoted
and collected in francs, and a_ special
. arrangement enables students to secure the
full amount of 5360 francs on any day they
thay select by simply remitting to the
the “Comité des Voyages
d’Etudes--en--France,” 281 Fifth Avenue,
New York, 25 per cent. in dollars of .said
amount, about $100. The balance in dollars
may be remitted at any time up to June
Ist. This very practical::way of. giving| -
prospective participants the full benefit of
low exchange rates brings out well. the
moderateness of the cost,. which averages | -
about ‘01 francs per day while in France,
———por—between-six—and- -seven- dollarsa—day
including every expense but those of a
strictly personal nature.
The ocean passage is quoted separately,
in dollars, and is based on the kind of
accommodation desired.

The Committee on Workers’ Education
reported a general interest on the part of
last year’s students in workers’ classes.
Further study is to be made of the sta-
tistics of these classes, on the basis of .a
questionnaire sent out to every former stu-
dent. Some students who have not been
able to join any classes have gathered to-
gether small groups of their fellow workers,
and by means-ef syllabi an@ reading lists
are doing their best to. pass on the ma-
terial of the summer courses. In such in-
creased interest in education and in the
awakened. sense of. social. responsibility
which all the.students feel, lies the real
test of last summer’s work.

“Surely,” she went on, “we ought not to
take luxuries which endanger the health of
the people who make.them. Take pottery,
for example. If you buy British ware you
are not buying it at such a cost. The death
rate from diseases contracted from work-
ing in the potteries is seven times greater
in America than it is in England We use
a ‘glaze rich in lead and take no precau-
tions. The English potteries take all pos-
sible precautions. ‘They were reformed at
the demand of women who decided that
they would use luxuries no longer at the
cost of a human life and health. Amer-
ican women should not indulge in pottery
at such a cost. We must condemn the
purchase of such luxuries or alter the cir:
climstances under which they~ were made.”
