At Washington, D. C., on December
30, Professor H. T. Moore, psychologist
and radicalogist, of Dartmouth College,
‘before the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, in convention
assembled, announced the results of a
series of radicalism tests conducted at;
Yale, Columbia and Dartmouth,
‘Professor Moore finds the tadergiadu-|
ates of Columbia the most radical,’ those,
of Yale the most ,conservative, and. those
of Dartmouth. occupying .a meee groun
The definition. of a radical, cmdline Wo
Professor Moore, is one who anezera
“yes” to the questions, “Do you ‘bélieve
in alleviating poverty by social legisla
tion?” and, “Are you sympathetic with th
.political.experiment-now-going-on-in ed
sia?” and in the negative to the question,
“Are you prejudiced against an individual
because of promiscuit® in sex life?” |
Varidus other tests used showed that
Padical students “used their brains more
quickly than conservative students of thei
same intelligence and from the same typ
of family.” Professor Moore also found
‘| that the radicals were able to shake off old
habits more quickly.
Terse, epigrammatical, was the com4
ment of President Nicholas Murray But+
