And KU Students?
This Is What Leaders Are Like At Minn. University
Student leaders are odd but some student leaders are older than others, at least at the University of Minnesota.
That seems to be shown by the results of personality tests given to fraternity and sorority officers, student religious and political leaders and members of student publication staffs and governing boards.
Measured against the average male freshman, male student leaders all show higher social and intellectual cultivation and hysteria symptoms. But male student political leaders of groups as Young Republicans, Young Democrat-Farmer-Laborites and radicals are the most unusual of group leaders.
They are more abnormal in their concern over bodily functions, and show a greater lack of deep emotional response. Their feelings of suspicion, oversensitivity and persecution are more marked, they are more inclined to excessive seclusion, shyness, bizarre thoughts and behavior. And overproductivity in thought or action is more marked.
At least that is how they show up on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, the personality test developed at the University that every freshman takes on entering.
The comparison of freshmen with student leaders was made several years ago by Dean of Students E. G. Williamson and another University staff member.
Women Differ Too
Women student leaders are different too from women freshmen, but not in such a clear way. In fact women members of student governing boards and student publications have better emotional morale than their freshman sisters.
Lutheran Student Association leaders are less inclined to depression, phobias or compulsive fears, obsessions and to schizophrenic shyness and bizarre behavior than religious leaders in general. Hillel Foundation leaders on the other hand showed themselves more liable to depression and overproductivity
in thought and action than student religious leaders in general.
High Hysteria Symptoms
High Hysteria Symptoms Fraternity men on the whole score higher for hysteria symptoms, social and intellectual cultivation and over-productivity in thought and action than freshmen. Sorority women on the whole differ from freshmen women in the same way as fraternity men except they tend to greater concern over bodily functions rather than higher hysteria symptoms.
Schofield Spends Summer In London
"Scientific Research in Eighteenth Century England" is the topic of study for Robert E. Schofield, assistant professor of history, who is spending the summer in London as part of a $6,300 grant from the National Science Foundation.
Schofield is doing research specifically on the history of the Lunar Society of Birmingham with particular reference to that organization's work in relation to the problems of the industrial revolution faced by its members.
