BROWN STUDENTS
 ID BE STUDIED
Trained Psychologists Will
 Diagnose Their Gases

Providence, l.. l.. May : lP}-I.". mental and spiritual needs o' Brown undergraduates will be studied by trained psychologists, as inc physical ailments of students now are diagnosed by physicians In announcing this new departure among colleges, President W. Il. r. r3unce today said the purpose was "no+ mere analysis in the name ol balf-baked science, but human beIprulnpss given by the best men in the medical profession" Two phy- sicians have been retained for the work. which will begin next fall.
 "WeI known that the word 'healthy' is the same as the words 'hale,' whole or wholly Presl- dent Fauncc said.
 "The healthy man is in modern phrase a it man--tit for any task any high adventure, any sincere endeavor. In this sense there are three kinds Of health, physical mental and spiritual. Physical health is now one or 1 the first cares of the modern college In my own undergraduate days there was no gymnasium, no college physician. no department ot healjh and scarcely q good athletic field Tn any eastern college. By hard eN- perience we have fully learned that the sane mind can dwell only Tn the sane or healthy body, and we are making large provision today in all our colleges for indoor eNef- cises and outdoor games.
 'But mental health is equally lm- portant. Hundreds of students m American colleges are held back Tn their studies hy mental conditions oi which their best friends are often unaware. In the recesses Of the mlhd are worries and distresses which arc seldom revealed. Many student i' falling down in his studies because of worry over conditions in his home life or because of doubt or despair in his religious life, or bitter disap' 6ointment in his social or affection al life. Many students are wrestling daily with inhibitions and expressions and obsessions that only the skilled psychologist can really help.
 Most of all do students need as sistance and direction in their high est and noblcst aspirations, that IS in their religious life. We can never live rightly until we have determin' cd why we live at all and what w( are going to do with life itself, Th' ultimate objective determines all oul daily moods and tensos and therefore all our colleges must provide Tn some
 way or other for spiritual guidance
 free from dogma, but sympathell'
 with the soul In its research fo
 the infinite"

 This community was shocked last week to learn of the passing Of Mrs. Margaret Elizabeth Rowe at the home of her daughter, Mrs. c. w. Lines. X X X Mrs, Rowe, who has spent many winters in Orange City had cndcarcl herself to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She was blessed with one Of the sweetest dispositions and always had a kind word and cheery smile for all. In fact she always i'm pressed us as being one of those old-fashioned mothers who, in their declining years, took a very lively interest in the affairs Of the world and yet held herself apart from anything that was not good, always doing all in her power for the up- lifting of humanity yet never con- i dcmning anyone. What a comfort to know that in reality there is nc death and that we shall know ever as We arc known. The knowledge of these facts removes the sting O death and the last enemy has beer overcome"
