Chair CT SpirituaIism to Be Es-
tabIished in Harvard.
Investigation Of "Psychlo Phenomena"
In New England, Where Witches
Were acknowledgement of
$4,000 for Research.

ambridge.-Harvard university has
seriously contracted to enter upon an
investigation of what is technically de-
scribed as psychic phenomena" but
which our parents : lever since the
days of the Fox sisters) called "spir-
ftualism," writes Julian Chambers.
This. to my way of thinking is one of
the most startling innovations in peda-
gogy that several centuries have fur
nished. Indeed, 1t is an event that
could only have followed the coming
of the wonderful era of telephone. air
ships, radium, wireless messages and
monographs. 1t will not do to treat
this incident lightly or to cover 1t with
ridicule.
Such is far from my thought when
I frankly declare that the acceptance
of a $4,000 endowment fund for psy-
chic research by that time-honored
university at Cambridge encourages
the hope that Francis l.. Wellman's
poker at Harvard may be ultimately
realized.
Seriously, however, comparatively
few as are believers in spiritualism.
the acceptance of this bequest by SO
conservative body as the trustees of
Harvard brings the study Of psychic
phenomena to stage never previous

factor is quite explicit. He gives the
