PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT The most 'notable accomplishment of the Psy- chology Department is the Mental Hygiene serv- ice made available to any studen't who wishes or requires it. Enrollment last Fall included 2,248 registrants for the departmentg 107 of these are majoring in Psychology. The department is equipped with a staff that is composed of many former clinical workers and research workers in the mental hygiene depart- ments of the armed forces. MODERN LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT Increased enrollment and subsequent over- crowded conditions in our various departments have necessi'tated the search for more offices and classrooms. No exception has been the jump in the language depart1neut's enrollment from 350 students last year to 1,060 this year. The collection of language records and the record making machine enable students to study and practice pronounciationsg however, space where this type of instruction can be carried on satisfactorily is lacking.

NURSING DEPARTMENT A new venture for the advancement of Nursing Education was launched this year after months of careful planning on the part of the Committee representing three hospitals-San Jose, O'C0nnor and Santa Clara County. For the first time, classwork formerly con- ducted in each hospital has been unified. Stu- dents commute to college for classes. A student nurse cleans an intravenous tubing in Cen- tral Service Department Lab., San Jose Hospital. The project, though young, is a growing one with an inspiring program in mind for the fu- ture. Congratulations are due the committee representing the local hospitals and to Dr. J. C. Elder, Dean of the Lower Divisionat this college, whose untiring efforts, interest and far-reaching vision made the establishment of this new de- partment possible.
