Dr. Joseph Lewandowski, Jr. Psychology Chairman Miss Karen Henry Sister Mary Gertrude PSYCHOLOGY The Psychology Department offers an un- dergraduate program which has a strong lib- eral arts context and thus provides a general understanding of psychology as a way of studying human behavior. Under the direction of the Department ' s new chairman, Dr. Lew- andowski, and the new teaching assistant, Karen Henry, a temporary animal colony was established, and students began working on animal experimentation and research. This year saw the establishment of the Psychology Club. The program also provides a back- ground for students preparing for a variety of other professions in which an understanding of human behavior is important. 23
