Education and Psychology The word pyschology evokes many responses from Carleton students. Some recall their psychoan- alytic sessions with roommates upon mastering In- troductory Psychology. Others immediately think of Mr. Bare's hungry rats. Still another group on cam- pus remember somewhat painfully the practice teach- ing in Northfield or Faribault, when for the only time in the four years at Carleton they passed out, not turned in, bluebooks. But for majors and would-be majors psychology means more. These students brave allergies to rats and the wrath of roommates who resent becoming case histories to study man and his quirks. - S- -sp? 25

Having for many years offered courses in the world religions and Christian ethics, the depart- ment for the first time next year will have a re- ligion major. The department plans to approach the subject matter from an impartial stand, pre- senting the material objectively and without em- phasis on one doctrine. The department fulfills a double function at Carleton. Besides teaching, the three busy mem- bers also speak at the morning church services. +4-, I

One of the few in- stances when underclassmen heed the sagacity of their su- periors, each year many Carls sign up for introductory econ solely on the enthusiastic recommendation of an up- perclassman. After completing this course they join the ranks on campus of those who have conquered the farm problem, had nightmares about the fallacy of composi- tion, chuckled over the pet grievances of Samuelson, and survived the Wednesday quizzes. Those not enrolled in economics classes were brought into contact with the subject by the steady stream of econ- omists to the convocation rostrum this year. Among those visiting Carleton were Professor Gould of the London School of Economics and Miss Frances Perkins, fonner Secretary of Labor. Yet in economics a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and wise are the students who elect a year or more of economics and learn more about the costly corn, the high-priced pig.
