26 THE LLAMARADA Department of Education The Department of Education was organized in 1899 1900, with one-hour courses in the history of education, philosophy of education, educational psychology and child study, school systems, school management, and methodology. Opportunities for graduate work were added in 1904 05; and in 1906-07 all the courses were put upon a three-hour basis. The aim of the department is to give students the historic and psychological settings of education, and to bring them into as sympathetic and efficient relationship as possible with practical school work.

Mystic, Connecticut Department of biblical literature Bible studv was required from the Hist. Recitations were held by the different teachers Sunday afternoons, or, for a time, later, during the Monday chapel periods. With the lengthening of the seminary course to four years, i860, certain definite sections of each Testament were prescribed regularly for first-year students, others for second-year, and so on, with the suggestion that Bible dictionaries, etc., be brought from home. The collection of such reference books in the library is first noted in the catalogue of 1890. About 1893, as part of the transition from seminary to college, and coincident, it would seem, with the establishment of the Young Women’s Christian Association with its possible program of Sunday devotional classes, came the final transference of required, “ Bible to week-day under an instructor especially trained.” W ith it was merged, until the disappearance of the latter in 1900, a course in apologetics, vhich, under varying name, had been part of the week-day schedule from the beginning. The first electives were offered in 1895. Two years later the requirement was reduced from eight hours to six. The department’s present title first appears in the 1901 02 catalogue.

In 1901 the department was increased to two members, and the psychological laboratory was opened. In 1904 another instructor was added.

Berlin, Connecticut Department of politiro and Social economics Notwithstanding the tact that the social sciences have so recently been organized in a separate department at Mount Holyoke, there is probably no other college for women which can claim to have given them, so early, a place in the curriculum. It is a halt century, all but two years, since a course in political science and political economy was tirsr offered here, and though this was afterward given up, its place was taken in 1862 by a course in civil government which has been omitted only twice from that time until the present day, and which was recommended in the early catalogues as desirable for the equipment of every educated person. With the granting of the Hrst college charter in 1888 another pioneer step was taken in giving to girls the opportunity of studying international law, and in 1896 came a course in socialism, long before such sub jects were usual in colleges for women. The present department was organized in 1906 07, and the larger scope of its work has been in part made possible by the emphasis of the early beginnings. In addition to the three general courses in politics, economics, and sociology, there are now six special courses, applied and theoretical, covering a wide range of social activity.
