?GQWEThe Blue Hen m:f Department of Psychology nis Department recains its richness of diversity, being responsible for the teaching of all courses in Philosophy, Psychology and Sociology. One of the difficulties in the work of this Deparement up to the present has been thar all of our courses have been pd'j Eif Y fiar Ruphl,rmurl:s aml Jm:iur.'i, 1llrrc bc:'l:lg alH sl:r;ul:.d course in anv of the three subjeces. Thus a Senior, who had become interested in any one of these subjeces, could not take any further work in that subjece. This limitation in the number of courses which could be offered has made it impossible for a student to get the ground- ing in any of these courses which is necessary for pursuing gradu:m-. stady in them, Bur with two new courses in hilosophy and a Psychological Laboracory, this difficaloy has been partially overcome. A new course in Sociology will be n::-tLI:l'cd next year, and there are hopes for furcher developments. g i Department of Education ue Department of Education secks Tm fulfl:ll a two-fold funceion. It aims, in the first place, 1o prepare college men for more ef- fecaive lay leadership in all matters pertaining to public education. Both in its imporeance to society ang its magni- tude as a corporate business enterprise, organized education secks the services of an informed public-spirited laicy. Con- Sn:l.lurl:nl-lr.' the -:.;u cgl; man who has studied its aims and - poscs, it program and irs problems, is in 2 position to render wise counsel and leadership. For those men who elect to enter the tzaching profession, the Deparement aims, o provide opportunity for the rechnical preparation necessary for such a career. Through scientific rescarch and .il:l'h'l.'.sringjul'l,, :l::a.n lling is 'h:cuntins more and more professionalized, and, like other professional fields, anly those may hope to enter it who have had che necessary pre-service technical training.
