Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ten Years at Yale: A Series of Papers on Certain Defects in the University, World of Today I entered Yale in the Fall of 1903 and graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy in 1906. Three more years of graduate study led to my doctorate in Mathematics. After that I held the position of instructor in The Sheffield Scientific School for four years. During the ten years spent at Yale, I have always lived in those houses which were occupied by students, and, therefore, had ample opportunity to study student life outside as well as inside of the classroom. While I was a member of the Yale faculty, I published two works. The first one was my thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy - On the Geometry of Line Elements in the Plane with Reference to Osculating Circles. The second one was a four-act play on college morals, entitled - The Ice Lens. I doubt if the latter is known very widely outside of Yale, where (I am told) it created a sensation. The Alumni Weekly declined to advertise it, and it was reported that the author was in danger of losing his mind. Had the same critics undertaken to read the thesis, which was published a year or two earlier, they would doubtlessly have decided that the author had already lost it (his mind). But what they mistook for mental debility was nothing more than ordinary everyday insanity, which is a very fascinating subject indeed. I have devoted the introductory chapter of the present book to a discussion of it. For the convenience of the reader, I have also had a scene from said play and the results of said thesis reprinted in this volume.
