Religion and Philosophy Seeking to orient the student to a Christian world through free and open inquiry, these departments offer basic foundations to those students preparing for the Chris- tian ministry, the world mission field, the teaching of religion and philosophy, and other church voca- tions. Essentially, for all students, they attempt to develop skills for practical service in a local church or community, and to make Chris- tian living an ideal goal. Dr. Carl E. Ehrhart, chairman of the Philosophy Department; Dr. James O. Be- mesderfer, the Reverend Mr. Mark J. Hos- tetter, (Absent), instructors in the Deport- ment of Religion. nss. Psychology In order to develop in the stu- dent an understanding and ap- preciation of the biological and environmental basis of human be- havior and of the role of that be- havior in adjustment, the liberal arts college has established a de- partment of psychology. It is also intended that the courses in this division will foster the student ' s healthy adjustment through the ob- jective application of psychological principles to problems related to personal, vocational and moral growth. In order to provide first hand experience in the study of human behavior, research methods ore analyzed through means of labo- ratory procedures. By employing free or controlled stimuli and re- sponse treatments, it is possible to become familiar with measures of learning, perception, memory, fa- tigue, motivation, thinking and reasoning.
