CLASS OF 1902
Martin W. Peck has published a book entitled "The Meaning of Psychoanalysis." This is a layman's guide-book to psychoanalysis. It is designed for readers (including general medical students) who wish an accurate but compressed introduction to the science, free from doctrinal subtleties and points of controversy. It comprises a brief biography of Freud, which itself is an account of the origin of the early history of psychoanalysis, a concise statement of the beliefs of other and later schools than the Freudian, and a short analysis of the main principles of psychoanalytic doctrine. The matter of treatment is given special emphasis, and the actual procedure, which occurs in the physician's office, is set forth in detail. Material from the author's own experience illustrates various points, and the last four chapters are devoted to two case histories that, because of the ampleness with which they are treated, will interest the reader already acquainted with the subject. Much of the data has been drawn from lectures delivered by the author at the Harvard Medical School, with which he is associated.

Sanborn, and expected to see Fred Bradley at some of the Dartmouth luncheons, but Fred does not come into the city very often.
