"Les Boulinard" Plot Specializes in Farce
"Les Boulinard," the French play which is being prepared by students in the department of French, will be given in the Little Theatre in Green Hall. May 3.
Innes Bullene Hackman
The plot of the play is highly farcical. Boulinard, an old frenchman who takes a great interest in politics, promises his daughter to a certain young man, Bodard, if the young fellow is appointed to a government position.
A man named Goddard receives the appointment but, by a misprint in the name, old Boulard believes that Bodard has received the position and, not listening to the attempted explanation of Bodard, tells him to go ahead and marry his daughter. Before the wedding Boulard learns his mistake; but at the same time a telegram comes to Bodard telling him that Goddard has been moved forward and that he is to receive the appointment.

Hypnotic Experiments Safe for Class Work
Some people, according to Professor Hunter, seem to think that hypnosis is still a mysterious matter, but the principle involved is this: Ordinarily the mind shifts constantly from point to point or idea to idea, and cannot be held on any one thing more than a fraction of a second.
Prof. W, S. Hunter of the psychology department, says that it would be entirely possible and highly interesting as well as safe, to conduct a few hypnotic experiments in his classes.
But, if, by some unusually strong influence such as the powerful personality expressed in a pair of eyes; or the fascination of gazing into an unusually perfect crystal, the attention can be concentrated in one place for more than the fraction of a second, the mind paralyzes, or goes to sleep much as the arm goes to sleep when it is held too long in one position.
Although it has often been used as the basis for spiritualistic fakes, Professor Hunter says it is often valuable in medical treatment and the fundamental principle is perfectly sound.
The Royal Air Force has presented the University of Toronto with an airplane and nine engines to be used in experimental work by students. Regular courses in aviation will be offered and laboratories for this work have been finished.
