The fields of sociology are unique in that the six are regarded by some as arts and by otliers as sciences. Much of the work being done in the Psychology Department is being sponsored by the National Institute of Health — among those working under grants from this organiza- tion are Dr. Kates, Dr. Feldman, Dr. Epstein, and Dr. Myers. Their work ranges from efforts to discover the influence of drive strength upon apperception, to determining the error of meas- urement of the Rorschach and Behn-Rorschach Inkblot Tests. Professor Wendell King of the Sociology Department is working toward finding information concerning the status and role of the aged in the modem family. Dr. Korson is making a study of intergerational occupational mobility of Japanese University alumni. Grants totaling nearly $4,000 have been allocated to sociology this school year. History is more than a story dealing with past events and people; it is a system of facts and ideologies which set the pattern for the future. Five members of the History Department are making studies on their own in an attempt to make past events logical and to present events clearer. Professor Schoeffler of the Economics Department has contributed numerous articles which have appeared in such publications as the Revies of Economics and Statistics , Business Scope and Challenge. In addition, he has published a book, The Failure of Economics: A Diagnostic Study. Knowledge of a foreign laguage is very essen- tial in this era in which the world has been made so much smaller. Knowing another ' s language helps one to understand his own cultru-e. The Department of Romance Languages is constantly doing research on new material to be used in the language laboratory as well as studies on new texts and courses. Of notable importance are the Russian studies being conducted by Mr. John Beebe. The Department of Business Administration has been active in releasing articles that can be used in solving problems which are certain to arise in the modern business structure. Profes- sor Lawrence Hackmack has published Per- sonnel Managers Discuss Management Man- power Questions and The Right Man For the Job. Other members of the department are en- gaged in studies in the fields of finance and accounting. The College of Agriculture is also taking an active part in the research game . Dr. Hankin- son is doing work on the relative merits of four measures of a dairy sire ' s transmitting ability. The Department of Forestry and Wildlife Man- agement has been working to find methods of alleviating the losses of crops, caused by attacks of birds and animals. The members of the Oleri- culture Department are doing work on the potato and tomato plants. Dr. Colby of the Agronomy Department is doing research on the effects of fertilizer elements and the vigor and persistence of top growth and the development of roots of common turfgrass growth. This department has also published a great number of articles to assist the farmers in the area. The University Extension Service is an ex- tremely important branch of the University and a great source of research work. Extension agents keep in constant touch with the scientific research being done by the Massachusetts Agri- cultural Experiment S tation and by the United States Department of Agriculture. There are twelve county extension services throughout the Commonwealth; all working for the people of Massachusetts. The University has come a long way since the days in which the livestock outnumbered the students. The subjects of research are almost endless, but they are being taken by the faculty and are being projected into written and tangi- ble form for the benefit of humanity. There was made available to this institution in September over $440,000 for work to be done during the school year 1958-59. This figure is out of date already for new grants are being given regularly. If we are, at any time, unable to comprehend all that is happening in regards to these projects, at least let us appreciate those who are doing it. For it is these people who are making the world of the future, the very near future to be sure, a healthy and more satisfying place to live. 23
