PSYCHICAL RESEARCH SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH OF PSYCHIC PHENOMENA Paper read by Chas. L. Hyde, of Pierre, South Dakota, U. S. A., before the South Dakota Academy of Science, at the Annual Meeting in Huron, South Dakota, U.S. A., October, 1922. This is in no sense a theological discussion; Philosophy and Theology may quarrel but Science is not vitally concerned with either Philosophy nor Theology except to ascertain what are the actual facts contained in their theories. Throughout all history, psychic phenomena has been before the peoples of the world demanding a hearing, but only of recent times, have great minds of the scientific field of thought, cared o-r dared to- take it up for serious consideration. A little more than fifty years ago, there appeared on the scene, a young man, Daniel Dunglas Home, whom many have termed the most wonderful of all physical phenomena generators of modern times. This person, of rather delicate and frail physique, had a competency come to him, and while desirous of demonstrating the truth and reality of phenomena he developed, he persistently refused to accept at any time, any money consideration for such demonstrations as he gave; this relieved him of much of the censure that otherwise would have followed him; being a person of education, culture and refinement, he was taken into many homes of high repute and gave demonstrations in many of the royal palaces and governmental homes throughout Europe, where the possibility of fraud was greatly lessened; men of scientific and literary attainments were invited to these demonstrations among them Sir William Crookes, one of the World's most noted Scientists, who was so impressed by the phenomena he saw, that he undertook a thorough and careful investigation of the subject. In the years 1871-1872 and 1873, Sir William Crookes, devoted much D'f his time to this subject; he took Mr. Home, also a remarkable young girl psychic, Florence Cook, and other psychics, at different times, into his home, where they lived for days and weeks at a time with his family, and where possible elements of fraud would be most easily detected, as well as most difficult to promulgate; he invited in many of his scientific friends and associaJtes to witness the demonstrations and every possible effort was made to detect fraud or prevent illusion. In 1874 Sir William made public announcement of his conclusions and findings, which at that time required even more moral courage than it would today, which most of us know is not small, for the creeds of' theology and especially, the great Catholic church, have ever seemed ready to attack from every possible angle, such scientific discovery as they thought interferred with their theories of salvation and education. His . conclusions were full and complete acceptance of the reality of the wonderful phenomena of levitation of the human body and other material objects, without contact, and of the yet more wonderful phenomena of materialization and of communication with spirit intelligencies. About this time came the investigations of Professor Robert Hare, D'f the University of Pennsylvania, a graduate of both Yale and Harvard, who afterwards became the author of "Spiritualism Scientifically Demonstrated," his report, covering 450 pages, was complete and so brilliant a writer as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, commenting upon it, says in one of his books: "I say deliberately that from the hour of the Hare report, there has been no excuse for the human race refusing to recognize the reality of psychic phenomena, and it has been nothing but ignorance and prejudice, with the constant misrepresentations of those who should have been its leaders, which has stood in the way of this greatest of revelations." Prof. Hare gave many details and his report was most convincing to those who could read it without prejudice, or who were more interested in ascertaining facts than in substantiating preconceived theories . .Soon after this, another very great man of science, Dr. Alfred Russell Wallace, co-discoverer with Charles Darwin of the origin of species, devoted his time and thought for a time almost exclusively to the investigation of this subject. 113
