INTRODUCTION
ation of Fr 12000. 76 With regards to method, I would propose at
least one hour of lecturing and 1 to 1 1 ⁄2 hours of answering questions
and discussion.
According to instructions, I would like to ask you to give us your
opinion with regards to this proposition, so that the Club has a
definitive basis for the organisation of the seminar.
With regard to any English lectures, to be held in parallel with the
German ones, I could not yet tell you anything definite. The American
economic crisis, you must know, has made itself felt here in that
the number of visitors has been very considerably reduced. For all
that, it would not be impossible for me to gather an English audience
for you. However, I would advise you, not in the least to save
time and effort, to provide the English only with an hour of lecturing
at a time. In the German seminar I will assist you with the psychological
side. 77
From this it appears that Hauer was to be paid the proceeds of the registration
fees. It also indicates that the attendance at Jung’s English-language
seminars had fallen off because of the American economic crisis
and that the dual-language format was used to maximize the fee. During
the summer Jung wrote to Hauer:
The rumour about your seminar is already creating a stir. Zimmer,
in Heidelberg, has asked me if he could come. Since I know him
personally, I have agreed. However, Spiegelberg of Hellerau, has
also asked me and has used your name as a reference. Other information
that I have about Dr. Spiegelberg does not sound enthusiastic,
hence I would like to ask you if you are keen on this Spiegelberg,
who seems to be an intellectual Jew. I have to admit that I am a bit
in two minds and that I am fearing for the quality of the atmosphere.
However, I want to leave the decision entirely to you since
you seem to know Spiegelberg. 78
76 This figure should probably be “Fr 1200.” The membership list of the Psychological
Club for 1933 lists sixty members and twenty-eight guests, of whom about a dozen seemed
to reside outside Switzerland. Professor Tadeus Reichstein, who attended the seminars,
recalled that there was a fee for both Hauer’s and Jung’s seminars (interview with the editor,
23 November 1994).

wrote a review of Hauer’s Yoga als Heilweg in the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung 71 (1932), did
attend the seminar, with his wife.
