The History Club provides an opportunity for the departmental majors and faculty to meet in- formally, especially over open fires at the annual fall and spring picnics. 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. The club tries to approach intellectual attitudes of special concern to undergraduate historians. the History Club Left to right in the jhst raw: M. Beat, C. Grant, M. Hofheimer, P. Sullivan, A.

Conflicting opinions were expressed about the London and Paris agreements, French colonialism, in North Africa, United States action in Guate- mala, the Mutual Security Pact between the United States and Nationalist China, and Asian problems.

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.
