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.

Also, stu- ilents preparing for the ministry, education- al work, and industrial management found the studv of sociology a aluable aid. OF course, underlying these social contacts to economics. Consumer economics is an in- dis|X ' nsable aid to better family liying from the knowledge gained about production, consumption, exchange, distribution, wag- es and the like. We gained a better un- derstanding of our social and economic systems. HARRY J. CANON, Director of Guidance with Rank of Instrucldr: A.B., Lycoming College; M.S., Pennsylvania State University.
