Had Any Psychic Experience?
Salem Professor Edwin Tausch,
Ph. D., one of the new professors in
the university, who occupies the chair
of philosophy, wants answers to the
questions as to whence we came,
whither we go and what we are here
for? He has Issued circulars and
asks any one who has had any pe
culiar experiences to relate them with
full attending circumstances. He
says: "Write out such information
as you can recall about those periods
in your past life when you were
perplexed over the purpose or mean
ing of your own existence and the
world about you; likewise about the
times and occasions, if any, In which
an old view of your relation to God
and your fellow-men was confirmed
or a new prospect opened before your
inner vision."
He wants the age of the person at
the time of the experience, and a
statement of the occurrences and cir
cumstances that brought on the ex
perience; also a description of the
peculiar feelings accompanying it.
