A Washington Psychoanalytic Society has been inaugurated, under the Presidency of Dr. William A. White.

In the current session Mr. J. C. Flügel delivered a course of ten lectures on Psycho-Analysis as part of the regular course in Psychology at University College, University of London. This is the first time that the subject has received official recognition in any University in England.

In October and November Mr. Cyril Burt delivered ten lectures on "Psycho-Analysis and Education" as part of the courses organised for the teachers of the London County Council Education Department. The enrolment had to be limited to 200, for lack of further accomodation.

Tansley, University of Cambridge, gave an address on "Freud's Theory of Sex considered from the Biological Standpoint" before the British Society for the Study of Sex-Psychology. The speaker expressed his opinion that the theory was throughout well founded biologically.

On February the 2nd. 1921 Dr. Ernest Jones gave an address on "Some Unconscious Mental Mechanisms" before the University of London Psychological Society.
