When Dr. C. J. Gay ioined the faculty in 1966, students were able to maior in psychology. As a professor of psychology and di- rector of counseling and guid- ance, Dr. Gay opened a new ave- nue to career minded students. Clara Abernathy received her de- gree in May as the first psychol- ogy maior to graduate from Bishop since Dr. Gay ioined the faculty and perhaps for a long time before he joined the faculty. Clara was an honor stu- dent and plans to continue her studies in graduate school. Dr. Gay and Dr. Wilcox hope more students will see the value of ma- iors in psychology and that some will return to ioin the Bishop fac- ulty after graduate school. . . for Dr C M Levy from the Dr. Barbara Wilcox, center, is a professor of psychology She and Dr Gay were hosts American Psychology Association when he visited the campus Dr Levy was lecturer to faculty members and students of the Divisions of Psychology and Social Sciences 86
