Monkeys' Conduct
Much Like Man's
Lew Lehr notwithstanding,
monkeys are apparently no craz
ier than hunrian beings.
Studies made over the past sev
eral years at Monkey Island, off
the east coast of Puerto Rico, by
Dr. Ray Carpenter of the psy
chology department reveal that
the social behaviour of our pri
mate cousins offers excellent in
dications of certain fundamental
fixations underlying the social be
haviour of man.
Back in 1936 Dr. Carpenter con
ceived the idea of founding .a col
ony of free ranging monkeys un
der constant scientific observation
in order to add to a man's knowl
!edge about , this nearest cousins
in the animal world from the
standpoint of social conduct.
His project supported by the.
School. of Tropical Medicine, an
autonomous unit of the University
of Puerto Ricb operating under
the direction of Columbia Univer
sity, Dr. Carpenter in 1938 trap
ped more than 400 rhesus monk
eys in India and released them on
37-acre Santiago Island, thereby
giving the island a new name.
With the monkeys practically in,
sole possession of the island, they
may be studied in their native
habitat. Several of the
signifi
cant observations Dr. Carpenter
has made on their. social behav
iour - follow:
1. The nationalistic behaviour
of human beings, who tend to
settle on a piece of land and will
thereafter defend . it with their
lives, is reflected . in the natural
behavior of monkeys.
Today the monkeys on Santiago
Island are divided territorially
into six groups, although when
they were brought from India they
were complete strangers to one an
other, having been trapped over
an area of several lcundred square

Dr. Ritenour Announces
No Flu Epidemic Heie-_i
Although a mild flu epidemic is
prevalent along' the Pacific' co - Ot
and at scattered - points - ih'the : Tifir:
west, there is ncLgyidence-that• the
disease has spread to_
Dr. Joseph P. Ritenour, head
the College Health Service, said
yesterday. "--.
This does not. mean, howevei;
that the College will escape tie
disease entirely, Dr. Ritenca*
pointed out, since reports show
that a mild wave of—the flu may
be sweeping eastward :from the
west coast.
2. Nationalistic expansion as'
social phenomenon is reflected
directly in - the behaVkillr - 61 : the
various territorial groups - on the
island. Invasion is a frequent
occurrence, and, as: is . the case
with human beings, the stronger
groups expand at the expense of
the weaker. .
3. Monkey
closely the more primitive• forms
of human politics. That..is, : .one
strong male rises in eac.h...groliP
to dominate the tribe.; He..,bas,
and recognizes, a group of, .ftve or
six males under him. So long as
he retains his authority his ;pow
er is virtually absolute. IVlor=
over, there is a regular ;order;
accession among the oligarchy of
dominant males in the tribe.
4. Breeding among _,rhestis
monkeys is a matter of pure dpm
inance. The small group : of- dom
inant males breeds all the females
in the tribe. Other males, .even
though mature, may not take - Part
in breeding until one..of
inant males drops out ()I'll-ie.:rul
