lectures before the Philosophical Union
and invited friends at Stiles Hail this even
ing upon the topic, "Some Aspects of the
Empirical Psychology of Self-Conscious-
ness" The union has been reading his
work on ''The Religious Aspect of Philos-
ophy'' during the past year and the lee
lures are based upon the principles laid
down in that book, with a few modifca-
tons and supplemented arguments. TAX
ing the course of three, as a whole, they
may be said TO have in part something to
do with the question as to the place and
Importance of an Individual human being
in the universe. They have to do with
what is meant in speaking of mans real
self and consequent relations found be-
tween mans consciousness and the world
at large, as we'll as God.
In the lecture this evening the question
OF how a man becomes self-conscious in
his experience from a. psychological point
of view was a prominent feature. DR..
Royce showed that self-consciousness ap-
pears to be one of the most complex and
unstable processes of the mind.
This afternoon DR.. Royce gave psyche
logical lecture on Limitation and Its Place
in Human Nature" to the students of Miss
Heads school. He has been engaged to
speak at Stanford University next week,
and will return to mbridge soon after

Victory for Freshmen.
What is said to be one of the hardest
"rushes' that ever took place on the uni
versity campus between the lower classes
was held tonight, resulting in victory
for the '9S men. This result was contrary
to ten years precedent, as no sophomore
class since that of '6S has come out victo-
rious in the annual "rush," which fact
was largely due to superior numbers On
the side of the freshmen. Tonight there
were about 80 "sophies" against 40
"freshies" The struggle lasted for over
an hour and during the time no less than
twenty-five men were carried off the field
from sheer exhaustion. About 1900 peo-
