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.

DEPARTMENT 0F MATHEMATICS Robert Johnson, the second member of the College Faculty, was elected by the Board of Trustees on June 15, 1785, to the Chair of Mathematics. Alexander W. McFarland, another early member of the Department of Mathematics, came to the College about 1830. In 1883 Fletcher Durell was elected to the Chair of Mathematics. Professor Durell was not only a great teacher, but also a great aid to the students as an advisor. He remained at Dickinson until.189S when he resigned to become Master in Mathe- matics at Lawrenceville. William W. Landis, Sc.D., Class of '91, succeeded Professor Durell in 1895 and has been one of the most outstanding men in the history of the College. He made himself known primarily through his own Department, and contributed a great deal to the cultural life of the College. Professor Frank Ayres is now Head of the Department. Dr. Ayres has returned to the College after serving overseas during the war, and has taken over the enlarged Department. Mr Hess Professor Ayres Mr Price

First Row: Mrs. Ralph Rieker, Francis W. Warlow, Eric W. Barnes Josephine B Meredith, Mrs. Charles Kepner. Standing: William Sloane, Ralph Schecter Amos B Horlacher DEPARTMENT UE ENGLISH In June, 1785, Dickinson became aware of its acute need for an English Depart- ment. Without delay, the Board of Trustees hired Robert Tait to provide a person capable of teaching to write and read English language with propriety and elegance. This first English Professor laid the foundation for the men who were to follow him, such as Aaron Rittenhouse, Bradford McI.ntire, and Montgomery Sellers. For many years the English Department was placed in the hands of Josephine Meredith who became the first and only female department head. In 1946 Dr. Eric Barnes succeeded Mrs. Meredith, taking over not only the leadership of the department, but also the advisory post for the Little Theater. Though the requirements have stiffened and new courses have been added, the department is still living up to the standard set with its origination-to make the speech and writing of the students not only correct but also eloquent.
