  But anyone who studies the published writings of Dr. MacNare must inevitably conclude that he was a competent, responsible scientist, and a firm believer in institutional research, research by teams, rather than in private research and go-it-alone secrecy, the course he eventually followed. Certainly, on that day in late August, 1955, at the little cabin on the Russian River, a hundred miles upstate from the university, when Dr. MacNare completed his paper on _An Experimental Approach to the Psychological Phenomena of Verification_, he had no slightest thought of going it alone.

  I have not only made it my study to discover the different and the best methods of catching Rats, but I have also taken great interest in watching their ways and habits, and I come to the conclusion that there is no sure way of completely exterminating the Rodents, especially in large towns. As an instance, I remember a private house where I was engaged catching Rats under a floor with ferrets.

Ha! a rat! exclaimed the young man, looking quite amused and pleased-- barbarian that he was!-- at the prospect of seeing a poor defenceless creature torn to pieces before him.
