Faculty Club Hears
A Talk on HypnOtism

George B. Cutten gave a talk
on hypnotism at the luncheon
meeting of the Faculty Club
last week.
When you want to attach a
descriptive phrase to the name
of Mr.. Cutten you can make it
retired president of Colgate
University" or authority on old
silver" or, if you like, you can
use both. But the achievements
to which these refer are not SO
important, in the present connec-
ton, as Mr.. Cutten's record as
a student and practitioner of,
and a writer about, hypnotism.
Since he began his study of it
when a student at Yale 55 years
ago he has become recognized
as one of the worlds leading
authorities In that field
The company at the Inn
listened to Mr.. Cutten with in
tense interest, and at the end he
answered many questions put to
him about various aspects of
hypnotism.
His talk was a serious one,
but it was spiced with amusing
comments and anecdotes. For
example: when / was a young
pastor of a church in a little
town in New England" said Mr.
Cutten, II talked about hypno-
tism and hypnotized a few per
