Faced with impending disaster as the result of inactivity, the Psychology Club this year deter- mined to take a new lease on life. Designed to broaden the interest of its members in psychology and to provide opportunity for the development of friendships, the club expanded its activities by having more meetings, in addition to its annual picnic at the home of its adviser, Mrs. Annelies Rose, and the banquet at which there was a speaker. Also, as so many aspects of psychology are of general interest, the club invited a speaker whose talk was open to the entire student body. the Psychology Club First row: J. Thayer, C.

Members study the his- torical aspects of current events which are discussed at joint meetings with the Political Science Club. To help prepare the undergraduate historians for projection into a contemporary world, the depart- mental f aculty held a symposium in Which a survey of former majors, present positions was discussed.
