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.
