Collip, Canadian biochemist, isolated parathormone from the parathyroid gland and introduced it as a treatment for tetany. He played an important role in improving the purification of insulin and was involved with Banting and Best in the first clinical application of insulin to treat diabetes mellitus. In this paper, Collip presents a general discussion of the way in which hormones influence human behavior. The volume also contains papers by Edgar Douglas Adrian, Jean Piaget, Jung (see No. 2302), Janet (see No. 2228), Rudolf Carnap, Abbott Lawrence Lowell, and Bronislaw Malinowski. These presentations were made at a symposium of the Harvard Tercentenary Conference of Arts and Sciences held from August 31 through September 12, 1936.
