The delegation of power and the division of labor in reproduction were discussed last night by William H. Weston, professor of Cryptogamic Botany, in a talk at the Eliot House Junior Common Room.
An audience of one girl and about 35 men heard comparisons drawn between sex operations in "lower plants" and those in "higher animals." Weston discussed the latency of the opposite sex present in each person.
He analyzed the battle between the brain and the sex drive over the rate of reproduction in each animal.
"There is a bare suggestion," Weston said, "that at one time there were more than two sexes in some of the lower organisms."
