To The Editor
Tantrum, Ohio, March 17: (To the Editor of the Daily Trojan)—A Trojan student will be hypnotized before an all-law school assembly by Dr. George H. Mount, head of the psychology department, in order to demonstrate the relationship between abnormal psychology and crimnal law. Dr. Mount can also render a great favor by hypnotizing a jury so as to solve one of the great mysteries of the age—how a jury reaches a verdict. Hypnotizing a jury should prove simple for Dr. Mount. All he will have to do to put them under is to start chanting a judges instructions to a jury.
Even the rankest amateur can learn to become a hypnotist. A never fail method for the beginner to follow in learning this mysterious art is to pick on a gin-drinking co-ed as a subject. They go under easiest.
Speaking of juries, a student of legal history claims that when Blackstone referred to a jury In his Commentaries as twelve men good and true, he really meant to write twelve men good and phew!
