The Fine Arts course is something new this year—a three-divisional plan combining art, music, and drama. The classes were taught by Mr. Ramus, Mr. Schmidt, and Dclphinc Murphy, who substituted for Dr. Bell when he went on a trip to New York.

Dr. Meyer and Dr. Miller, plus several additions to the psychology department's faculty, found their classes more popular than ever. There were so many returning veterans that they practically had to have their own separate classes. Psychology is always an interesting course to take, for there are individual IQ tests and small white rats to experiment with. This year the department revived Psi Chi, the honorary psychology club. sociology Dr. Sikes and Mr. Mac” took the sociological aspect of college teaching in their stride as students flocked to their classes in order to learn the vital statistics of life. Both men found that the increased enrollment filled their classes to the bulging point. The Marriage and the Family courses were crowded to the brim twice a day, and those unable to be accommodated were put on the preferred waiting list. 32
