r Auinhingraplgg nf Mr. ligvnnvrr Binks QI U24 521 My first memories are those of the autumn of IQO2, when Miss Maybelle I-Iunt introduced me into VVhitma11 society by getting me a position under the supervision of Mr. Bulletin Board, in the Memorial Building. Here I soon learned to read over and criticize the contributions entrusted to my care, and reflect upon the faults of mortals. The first document was given into my hands by a small but irate first year Cad. It read as follows: Prof. Blank is just too mean for any- thingf, In my youth my life was a busy one. Every Monday morning I was busy with the locals-joshes on couples that had gone to church together the night before, sympathetic advice for those who got left. But of late I have been very lonely. I have- become a veritable diminutive chamber of horrors. Nothing ever comes into my possession now but matches, and scrap paper, and copper cents. Large, mournful flies come to visit me, look sadly about, and regretfully curl up and die. Yet not long ago a companion was given me in my sorrow. I had long decided that the tender passion was never to touch my hearty' But when, one bright spring day. a sweet little fish-basket appeared not far away from my station, I felt that peculiar, much-celebrated tightening around my heart. She wore a gay sign, XVe are fishing for a few Jokes. And although my rigid sense of duty kept me from approaching her, every day while she remained with me I would smile at her , and O, heavenly bliss! she would smile back. . But now even she is gone, and I remain here with only the deceased fiies and the worthless matches and the despised pennies for companions. Zounds! I-Iow long must it continue? ii .1 ff fly, f ff A1527 ligs 26

X f Xi s int QT Stimuli---Ellie Illarultg E21 Eb Q1 The prisoner in his dark cell would be obliged to remain in darkness forever were it not for stimuli from the outside world. Throughout the nerve centers it is a law that a stimulus which would be inadequate by itself to excite a nerve center to effective discharge, may, by acting with one or more other stimuli, equally ineffectual by themselves alone, pro- duce the desired result. Hence we lind men and women banding themselves together as a faculty for the sole purpose ,of furnishing stimuli which shall so act upon the nerve centers of the blind prisoner as to bring about a proper discharge of his duty. James says that a faculty does not exist absolutely, but works only under conditions. Vile have observed this ourselves. ' 28
