Plans are not complete in any class,
but great things are expected, and
each will strive to excel. Who will
win no one knows.
At the regular chapel hour Thurs
day. Dr. J. M. Goddard addressed
the student body in a very interest
ing talk on motives prompting the
individual’s behavior and the causes
and solving of mental conflicts which
might confront the college student.
Dr. Goddard, in speaking of col
lege life said: “Life in college is no
dift’erent from life outside of college,
as far as adjustments are concerned.”
Under four main points he discussed
understanding human nature, mental
health and mental conflicts.
The first point was: “In order to
understand human nature, one must
understand the motives prompting the
behavior of others.” Dean Goddard
warned the judgment of others be
havior on what it seems to be, rather
than by the motive behind the be
havior. The desire for attention, he
said, is deep in human nature, and the
individual may employ wholesome or
unwholesome methods of gaining this
attention. Much mentai conflict
arises in the transition from primi
tive to idealistic motives. The college
student is urged to analyze her mo
tives and be conscious of them, to
value herself and think what she is
striving for.
In his second point. Dr. Goddard
stated that “mental health is deter
mined by the abiilty of a person to
resolve his mental conflicts.” In the
life of every student there is the con
stant problem of the primitive urge
against the social urge, and conflicts
between what has been taught and
believed at home and what he is
taught to face after leaving home
to come to that new environment
college.
The third point was stated as:
“Mental adjustment depends ujion the
capacity to love,” and Dr. Goddard
quoted Kempf, famous psychopath
ologist, in saying: “In all my experi
ence dealing with mentally malad
justed people, there were none who
were not selfish or self centered.”
The jierson who has the ca]>acity to
become interested in things other
than those which directly concern
himself is most happy and is better
adjusted.
The fourth and last point was:
“There is only one kind of mind that
is helpful and that mind is growing.”
Tlie stagnated mind has no place in
the world of today in its aim to
develop mentally wholesome person
alities. If a mind is not growing,
there results an unhealthy and un
happy person.
Dr. Goddard’s talk was not too
psychologically technical to be en
joyed by faculty and students alike
and we hope to have him talk to us
again soon.
