Philosophy and Psychology Philosophy and psychology were some- what conflicting subjects in the eyes of many new Lycoming students, and we became aware that a thorough knov ' ledge of both was necessary to arri e at logical conclusions. Philosophy, an ancient study, included positions taken by the great think- ers of the ages, and their effects on the people of their era. Psychology, a rela- tiyely new field, included a study of proc- esses of the mind and the problems and conflicts of the indi idual. These two courses taught us to think clearly and de- ri e at a logical plan that would be useful to us in life. W. ARTHUR FAUS (1951) Assistant Professor of Philos- ophy; A.B., Dickinson College; S.
