NEW C0NHBBU110N PROFS TOTE FOR
10 PSYCHOLOGY IS
WORK OF TEXAS MAN
"Muter •< My Fate," I Title
of New Psychological Work
By Dr. Manuel
While some of the most famous
psychologists in the world were busy
at the International Psychological
Congress held at Yale recently prob.
ing the minds of man and ape, meas-
uring personality and weighing "It,"
an American psychologist came forth
with a volume of sound and scientific
popular psychofogy, which he calls
"practical behaviorism," intended to
show the average man that his per.
sonality and his destiny are largely
matters within his own control.
Dr. Herschel T. Manuel of the Uni-
versity of Texas is the author of the
book, "Master of My Fate," which has
Among the new courses announced just been issued by The Century Co.
Dr. Manuel has based his unusual
book on the assumption that human
in the catalogue for this year are sev-
eral of Interest. Two courses In phys-
ical education are being inaugurated
as a part of the new Department of
Physical Education. Anatomy, listed
In the satalogue as Biolosy 2U<>. lias
also been added for the benefit of stu-
dents in Physical Education.
The opportunities for those interest-
ed in psychology are further opened
this year through the addition of I'sy
ehology 300, This course will offer
laboratory experience, ntW will prob-
ably count as a science credit.
Among tin- departments, the Depart
nient of English is having the great* st
expansion this year, although new
courses are being offered In almost
every subject listed In the cntalouge
McNeill Goes Home to
Ranch in West Texas
News comes this week that J. C.
McNeill, of the class of '29 and ex-
editor of Tho Thresher, has forsaken
his journalistic inclinations and has
returned to his home at Spur, Texas,
where ho is helping in the manage-
ment of a large ranch. McNeill, while
at Rice, held several Important
student, positions. He was employed In
the advertising department at the
Rein Printing Company during a part
of his last year at Rice.
beings who reach the teens and early
adult life wish to have some part in
determining what they are to be and
do. He attempts to set up reasonable
goals and then show how these goals
may be reached. His book treats per-
sonality and conduct purely from the
standpoint of Intelligent personal con-
trol.
One of the unique features of "Mas-
ter of My Fate" is a self-improvement
rating scale by which every person
may keep an accurate check upon his
personality development. Dr. Manuel
has listed here 500 activities that are
presumably characteristic of desirable
personalities. By repeatedly checking
this chart the Individual may see at
a glance In what respect he particular-
ly needs to Improve and where to
direct his efforts.
Dr. Manuel's work has been widely
praised in scientific circles. He is
probably one of tho fiRjt prominent
psychologists of high standing defin-
itely to enter the popular field which
has been occupied for so long by
quack "self-Improvement" experts.

In the September 8 issue of the
Gargoyle, Rosco# E. Wright, writing
of the Owls' new coach, gives a short
account of the life of this popular
mentor. «
"This young football expert in his
early thirties got into the pigskin
trade quite by accident. At Notre
Dame, in 1915, he devoted himself
to getting a liberal arts education and
playing a nifty end on young Mr.
Knute Rockne's Ramblers. ... By
1916 he had deserted liberal arts for
architecture, apd was playing a still
niftier end. ,
"In 1917 there came along a bigger
fight than young Mr. Meagher could
find on any gridiron, so he hopped
Into the Marines. . . . and did enough
work in odd hours to get a commis-
sion.
"As an officer he rather liked the
Marines, and remained in the serv-
ice three years. But an old wound he
was carrying bothered him. . . . and
so he got out of the service and into
marriage."
Hearing that St. Edwards Univer-
sity was adding a college department
j to its preparatory school, he got the
I Job of football coach In 1928', and has
j been at St. Ed's ever since.
! Mr. Wright continues:
"What sort of football can spec-
I tators at Rice Field expect from'
Meagher teams?
" 'Well, this year will not be typical.
We have only six letter men. . . . Our
entire squad was depleted heavily by
graduation. This year we will have
to play a freaky sort of game, and
hope to catch the other fellow off
his guard.'"
With the opening game Coach
Meagher will spring his Big Surprise
—Bright Crimson Jesseys!
"He has talked it over at great
length with Mr, Johnson. Trere is a
tendency over the country to dis-
regard actual school colors in gridiron
jerseys. . . . Crimson is more easily
visible at dusk than maize and blue.
It may add a spark to the play.
'* 'Where," one athlete asked him^
" 'do you get Owl out of Crimson?
" 'That,'" he said in his slow,
meticulous way, " 'Is the light we hope
to see In the Owl's eyes,'"
Well, here's hoping.
Josh Billings, out of the richness of
his experience, says, "Everybody
wants to talk, few wa.nt to think and
nobody wants to listen.1*
