Some students, who think it smart, have lately seen fit to disfigure notices posted by a certain professor, with all sorts of absurd words and phrases. It is a disgrace that this should be done, and it was hoped it would not be repeated after the first offence We trust it will not be done again.
Who says the administration of the University is not economical? The electric lights on Mount Oread and Adams St. were turned off Tuesday night, about as soon as the crowd was out of the chapel, so that all had to pick their way homeward through the mud, by the light of the stars.
It is somewhat amusing after each little rain storm to see the pleasant little reminiscences of Hallow'een come bobbing up serenely, on the walk up Mount Oread. The student again reads in colors of pure white(wash), "Street is Sec." "Rats on the frats." "Who stole the book?" etc., etc.
It is to be hoped that in time, "the gentle dew of heaven" will forever erase all signs of the late unpleasantness.
Unity Club.
Last Monday evening Prof. Blake read a very interesting paper on what is variously known as mesmerism, hypnotism, animal magnitism. The professor referred to the inaccuracy of popular thought, which classes the phenomena of mesmerism with those of ghost-seeing, table-tipping, spirit-rappings, and the like. Disclaiming all right to be considered an original investigator, Prof. Blake avowed his interest in the subject and proceeded to give the conclusions drawn from the latest scientific investigations. The three stages of hypnotism were described; and a sketch was given of the construction and action of the nervous system, in order to make intelligible the relation of the reflex nervous centers to the organs of sense and to the muscular system. Mesmerism, scientists now believe to consist simply in preventing messages from the organs of sense from reaching the center of consciousness, thereby placing the muscles under the control of the reflex centers. There are various methods of doing this, but in no case does a mysterious, unnatural force project itself from the operator upon the subject. Prof. Blake gave utterance to his earnest desire to see the subject of mesmerism freed from supernatural associations; if his paper would do anything toward removing the superstition with which many are inclined to regard hypnotism and kindred phenomena, it would have accomplished its purpose. The possibilities of mesmerism for good. Prof. Blake believed to lie in its use by physicians, and he strongly deprecated its exercise by unprincipled and irresponsible individuals.
An interesting discussion followed, in the course of which it was discovered that Mr. Smith, a well known operator, was present, and he was invited to give an exhibition of his powers. He excused himself on the plea of fatigue, but will probably favor the club in three weeks from last Monday, when Prof. Will Franklin will read a paper on Mesmerism and Faith Cures.
