Robert College, and. 4s “adhe to help. Be-
sides a high reputation for- ‘collegiate
work, Robért is ‘noticeable for ‘its comr
munity life, and thé friendliness of Stu-
dents with faculty.
The third college is Wonstantinogle, for
‘women, of which’ Miss Adams is ‘the
president. “Fourth is’: Smyrna, which since
the fire has been practically entirely Mos-
lem. Its ‘specialized’ btanch is an agri-
cultural. school. —
Turkey is a very rich country, ‘thas thus
far only’ the surface -has -been touched.
The Turkish Government is opening its
many Moslem boys go there.
Then there are ‘two separate colleges, | ©
one for boys and one for girls, in Sofia,
Bulgaria. The Sofia College’ started as
an American Mission School, but on the
plea of the Bulgarian Government, it is
., being, made into‘ a regular cgllege.> The
Government is giving the Jand, the timber |
and some money,’ although | ‘it cannot
afford’ much. Sofia’ is only. for Bul-
garians apd some of the work will’ be
done in Bulgarian, althéugh the other
colleges teach entirely/i in English.
Finally there is the New Athens Col-
lege for boys, which is still only in the
stage of a preparatory school. The Greek
Government asked for a- college like
Robert, and is giving the land and some
money, with a promise of future gifts.
At. Miss ak, act Miss Adams
told more: about’ her own college. Con-
stantinople. i
History at Constantinople College.
“Tt was. started in 1884 and c "pee
by the State of Massachusett§#1 1890,”
she said. “Every year the standard has
been faised, ‘till now it is the equivalent
of American colleges; three of our. girls
who graduated ‘last year are now in‘
America getting their M A.’s at Cornell,
Brown and Col mbia.
“It is not cult to get the girls to
work; college is a great privilege to
them, and it is much harder to.get them
interested in athletics. At first they hated
games;«but.now. they are becoming -as| »’-
fond of hockey, basketball and tennis as
American girls.
“There are 465 girls in the preparatory
school and college, many of them day
pupils, from Stamboul and Constantinople
is four years, and all the work is done
in English. Languages are second nature
to these girls of the Near East, and they
can learn enough English in a year. to
talk fluently and enter college.
“Many speakers give talks at Con-
stantinople and are much appreciated.
There are undergraduate organizations—
a glee club, choir, departmental clubs,
and the Dramatic Society, which is very
popular as ~ 6f the: students act
naturally.
“No religious training is ‘allowed by the
Turkish Government, so there are no
Bible classes except voluntary omes:“There
is a religious chapel service twice a week
and a Moslem service at the same time
for the Turkish girls; .the..other three
days there is assembly for all the stu-|:
dents, with talks or a forum which the
Seniors conduct. On Sundays there are
also two services: a regular
one, with sermon and choir, and an
ethical service for the Moslems. On one

Avsort. of Cosmic Laziness has taken

What Is ‘Consciousness.
An. opposite pre

Watson’s behaviorism is the extreme.
He believes that you can find out all

but not complete. William Jamés’
theory of consciousness is: very ob-
scure, because “consciousness” is: such
a vague term. It is not simply that “a
body reacts to certain stimuli,” be-
yet you -would not say that a_ther-
mometer is conscious of warmth. Re-
membering actions and words is not
the whole, either, because a grama-
phone can also do this. Even the self-
preservative instinct that makes athe
reaction biologically appropriate is not
adequate. However, the power of in-
trospection gives -a clue; there, are
things you know about yourself such
