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.

Biology Through the lens of the microscope we were in ited to look into the minute world around us. B the means of dissectino in- o strumcnts we were introduced to the more tangible aspects of the ' arious animal king- doms. B ' using application and observa- tion, we prepared for the professions of medicine, forestry, teachino, laboratory ex- perimental work, and man ' other fields. Biolooy was a fascinating study of obser ' - ing the many species of life around us, and in a small way, we glimpsed into our own e olution and position in the world. GEORGE S.
