“None of the things which are done with intelligence are done without the aid of speech.” Isocrates 400 B.C. One of the many steps of progress which have been taken on our campus was that of establishing the Speech and Hearing Clinic. It is conducted by the Speech Department, and is under the direction of Miss Helen Halpert. Anyone attending the col- lege who has a speech problem may receive help at no charge. This clinic also provides speech majors and minors with an opportunity to assist in problems of correction. Another step of progress was the establishment and enlargement of the Guidance Center. Under the supervision of Dr. Drake, Coordinator of Guid- ance Services, testing in the areas of scholastic and skill aptitudes, intelligence, and personality, was made available to all students of the college. Testing is one of the services the Guidance Center offers. 12
