Chancellor Gives Address
Chancellor Gives Address
In the Chancellor's dedication address "Radio and the University" which mentions the loss of the program he said:
"It is probable there is enough knowledge now in the possession of the few which if shared by all people and put to work, would reduce the ravages of disease, prevent death and contribute to the efficiency of all. How far the radio can contribute to these educational ends remains to be seen. One cannot hope to get a college education by radio but much can be done to stimulate and encourage the life and ambition among our people."
After reviewing the progress of the University the Chancellor said, "hard beheaded men have come to see that education is a necessary in order to get wealth but it costs; that ignorance is the most expensive thing in the world; that education is the world's best insurance." He voiced the need for better educational advantages through the securing of a strong faculty, better equipment and bilingual resources, and educational institutions in Kansas.

Crimes Not Committed by Hypnotic Bidding, French Physician Says
Famous Scientist Destroys Idea
That Hypnotism
Causes Evil
Paris, Dec. 16—Claims that crimes have been committed to one person at the hypnotic bidding of another must be relegated to the field of pure fiction, according to Ir. Doubelfou, a French physician, who has made n study of the subject of hymnotic influence.
Dr. Deloitte tells of an experiment which seems to be conclusive. He had one man whom he frequently used as a subject, who could suddenly be persuaded, while in the hypothetical case that the subject was such a object, and upon being commanded would "shoot" any other person with the mask weapon. However, when a real revolver, which the subject in his conscious state had always known to be loaded, was placed in his hands, he would not hold his trigger, though he was happy at the time and the weapon enpty.
Dr. Delcoelew is of the opinion that naturally moral persons will not perform under the hypnotic state any malicious motive, and those seriously moral codes. He believes also, however, that a person of criminal tendencies might commit a crime while hypnotized, since the idea of such repugnance in his compassion mind.
