By attaining physical propor
tions unequalled In the entire
world, Robert Wadlow again
draws the attention of the popular-science
minded public to the
potentialities of the irregular
functioning of the pituitary. Time
wise it is explained that this lad of
18, who rears hia head some eight
feet or so above the sidewalk and
who weighs almost 400 pounds, is,
because of his peculiar glandular
disorder, unable to lift his knee
high smallest brother.
Far from a study of giants,
however, is George Antheil's
"Glands on a Hobby Horse" in
the current Esquire. In It he
blandly discloses some of his
findings as a gland "amateur,"
which we definitely do not re
member from our high school
physiology. Such as:
"If you have hair on your chest,
the chances are that you are an
adrenal-centric. ( Psychologists and
Poppa would call such a state
"virility."), but if you have no
hair upon your chest but plenty on
your legs, it might well mean that
you are a good pituitary." (The
hyper pituitary is said to be strong
of muscle, aggressive, self-controlled,
and calculating). "Some
one or two glands of your body
have swung over your body chem
istry to a special glandular em
phasis, typing you as surely as
a finger print.''
"If your hair is straight and
not curly, you may well have an
ardenal deficiency which means
that you do not get mad fast
enough, and will not poke back
fast enough If somebody pokes
you In the nose. Likewise, If and
when yoj do get sore, be It an
hour or a day, you will then be
murderous. A Kinky haired per
son, on the other hand, will get
over his anger quickly; his anger
is balanced and normal."
Continuing as to the plausibility
of producing genius by synthesis,
Antheil explains: "Almost all of
our great statesmen are splendid
pituitaries of some kind or other,
and there is certainly a strong in
filtration of thymus into the glan
dular personalities of each one of
our living geniuses.
"The active thymus gland pro
duces most of our peculiar men
of genius, and simultaneously
many of our worst criminals. It is
essentially the gland of childhood,
and its persistence means that its
fortunate or unfortunate possessor
shall always remain partly a child,
spiritually if not intellectually. He
will have all the genius and cruelty
of a child. Have you ever watched
children pull a frog apart or maul
and tease a cat? If so, you have
peered into the soul of the thymo
centric Babv-Face Nelson. The
thymocentric crime, for instance, ,
is always recognizable by its cool
and Inhuman cruelty and its calcu
lation amounting to genius.
i
"The thymocentric, as a mat
ter of fact, is a very engrossing
and interesting type. He can be
as widely different as Oscar
Wilde and Maxie Baer, both de
cided thymocentrics He can
be brilliant or quixotic beyond
endurance; he has no real con
ception of an adult world, and
lives forever in a particular and
impractical world of his own
making. If he attains a position
of power, like Nero, Hitler, or
Robespierre, he attempts to hew
at whatever cost, the world to
his own impractical mark.
Beyond a certain early degree,
he is not usually successful, for
his inborn cruelty and imprac
ticability is inevitably his undo
ing; he attains a measure of suc
cess only thru the breathless
daring and sheer unexpected
brilliance of his attack.
"But if you would learn what
the word "capriciousness" really
means, just take a fancy to a thy
mocentric lady. Your thymo
woman can be a throughgoing
careerist or she can be so occupied
with a dream that she will pay but
scant or spasmodic attention to
you. This dream need noi oe an
other gentleman or even a lady,
but merely a new book, a new play,
or a new poodle. If your little
feminine thymo is to be captured,
you must be a father to her
(Daddy!!!)! she will never be a
pal. If she tells you that she is
your comrade, lock the doors and
ring all the burglar alarms
"Time immemorial had not
known that we, by a simple mani
pulation of the pineal and other
glands controlling and regulating
growth, can now produce a ma
ture lion the size of a terrier or a
rhinoceros no larger than a colly.
Had these things been known,
ladies would not have been, for
many centuries, on the lookout for
men with large and virile noses or
the proverbial hair on their chests,
irrelevant if not misleading charac
teristics in relation to essential
masculinity. They would look in
stead for the fine pituitary beetl
ing bushy eyebrow and the hairy
satyr leg. Knotty muscles, tre
mendous size, vigorous sportsman
... all of these things are false
scents, ladies, but the broad un
spaced teeth, the far apart eyes,
and the dolichocephalic (having a
long skull) head of the prime pitu
itary will never fool you. If for
nothing more than this, a slight
knowledge of the endocrine glands
could dispense with a good deal
of human unhappiness."

unsold books to their owners.
Plans for returning unsold books
provide that all students whose
names begin with letters A to G
Inclusive must call for their books
during the week of March 16,
otherwise rights to reclaim the
books will be forfeited. Hours at
which the shop will be open are
Tuesday from 11 to 12, and 2 to 3:
Wednesday from 11 to 12 anrt 4
to 5, on Thursday from 10 to 11
and on Friday from 10 to 11.
Miss Marshall urges the neces
sity of all students to present their
white slips when they call for
their books: the books will not be
returned unless the slips are pre
sented. All checks for books sold
within the past year are in the
office and may be called for at
the designated hours.
If it is found that money is not
available to pay out to those stu

For eleven years the A. W. S. board has been presenting

the part of the women, who have never been fully appreciated,
that they needed an opportunity to display their talents.

Lincoln, spoke informally to the
students. Professor Stepanek
talked on youth and Its outlook in
an age of realism, while Dr.

Those members will be selected on
