Deep in study of man's normal mental life, this student has chosen the quiet of the Green Room to ponder such a complex subiect. Cletus Durcan returns from a rehabilitation hospital and reviews her medical social work activities with Mary Louise Mallon, a trainee in a settlement house. Reviewing for an approaching exam, sociology maiors Carol Rotheram, Barbara Lazarchick, and Judy Thatcher ioin Maryrose Campbell for a well-earned coffee break in Valley View.

D'ARCY THE sTuDENT OF PSYCHOLOGY at Immaculata Col- lege usually finds herself confronted with a mass of information on highly particularized and com- plicated areas of investigation. Through mastery of course material she learns the scientific pro- cedures for organizing all this knowledge and for arriving at an understandable and workable awareness of the whole man. Man is a social being. He seeks the company of others and by so doing forms a society. The sociology student is chiefly concerned with man in his social relations. ln brief, she studies man as a member of that complex of interrerlations that exist between and among members of the group. Each student needs to understand how the sci- ence of psychology and sociology are related to the other sciences, to the whole of reality, and to the ultimate meaning and purpose of human existence in time and eternity. l 5 f-f , '

l hold the HEY to the forgotten PHST. A. REPPLIER THE RESPONSIBILITY OF the historian lies in the construc- tion of a hierarchy of values, indicating the importance of an event while not abstracting from its moment in time. For Immaculatans the principles of Christianity form the criterion of values for the department of history. This Christian influence has a twofold eFfect. It pervades the department's curriculum, from courses involving the study of Eastern and Western civilizations to Latin American cul- ture, while serving as a norm for evaluating events, past and present. For a iust and comprehensive evaluation, a deeper in- sight and a balanced perspective must be developed through careful search and study. Once the means is mastered the student can proceed to interpret the past meaningfully and survey the present historically. Concentrating on authentic early American documents, these iunior history maiors explore rare and priceless volumes of Jesuit Relations. Spontaneous discussion and informal atmosphere characterize the seniors Co-ordinating Seminar. The topic, Church-State Relations Through the Centuries, proved to be a timely issue.
