DEPARTMENT 0F PSYCIIIILUGY llllll EIIUCATIUN Until 1922 the Department of Psychology and Education was included with Philosophy in the same department. This department was under the direction of such men as William Lambert Gooding and Wilbur A. Norcross. The department was independently established when Professor J. Carver, '09, came to the College. He remained until 1928 when Professor Russell I. Thompson, '20, became Head of the Department. In 1899 the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity was permitted to build a small lodge on the northeast corner of the college campus. During the administration of President Filler, 1928-1931, the College purchased the lodge and converted it into classrooms for the use of the Psychology Department. At the same time the College received the sum of 850,000 from the estate of Richard V. C. Watkins, '12. This sum was designated for the endowment of the Chair of Psychology and Education. Since his appointment as Head of the Department, Professor Thompson has also assumed the duties of Dean of the College. Richard H. Wanner, Benjamin D. James, Russell I. Thompson, J. R. Morrison.
