hat DR.. Henderson has done and the
promise of yet greater things hat he
will do, is it not fitting hat the citi-

professors should be claSSed with
mothers, farmers and others whose
work is never done-it is hard to I'M
how DIR. Henderson finds time
to write as much as he does. His ac-
cOmpliShment of publishing within
eleven months spent abroad five books
and more tina thirty essays in lead
ing magazines was most remarkable.
It is interesting to know that the Sc
cret of his ability to accomplish SO
much Dr.. Henderson attributes to the
influence of the late William James
in this interesting way. The single
piece of literature which has eXerted
the most f~ar-reaching influence on his
life, DR.. Henderson says, is William
James essay entitled 1.-The Extra En-
ergies of Life" In this essay James
suggests hat man, working under
high pressure, is capable Of an I'M
suspected amount of productive work.
| This ne can accom- pliSh by drawing
| pon latent sources of energy, the ex-
stence Of which he scarcely suspects
until he finds some supreme use for
their aid. This idea Dr.. Henderson has
adopted and lived UP to. and this with
the utilization of what might be
called time-waSte has resulted in his
accomplishing so much.
No Recluse.
DR.. Henderson is no recIuSe. He is
very associative, and likes to be much
in the company of his fellows. TIC
the visitor, the college student, col
leagues Of b faculty, intimate friends
or casual stranger, he is always cor
dial n genial. The ideal home life
at "FordelF' in Chapel Hill, presided
over by Mrs. Henderson who was the

it a pace where one delights to be

he is thoroughly democratic. He is (
