Colloms ECONOMICS, BUSINESS EDUCATION ADMINISTRATION AND PSYCHOLOGY The Economics and Business Administration De- partment tries to give the student of business an understanding of the organization and underlying principles of the economic life. The department, under the direction of Dr. Kenadjian, also offers many advance courses which further acquaint the student with the problems and principles involved in banking, public finance, marketing, business law, and international trade. At various times in the year stu- dents are taken on trips to banks and industries to get a first hand view of the things that they have been studying. In this department the student has a fine opportunity to prepare to take his place in the business world and in the administrative field. The Department of Education and Psychology, headed by Professor Britt, serves a two-fold purpose. The education courses are designed to give the stu- dent seeking a profession in public school teaching, a strong background in techniques of teaching, and the various theories behind the public school cur- riculum. Education courses are also valuable them- selves to those preparing for educational work m churches, social work, and college teaching. Courses in psychology offer the students an oppor- tunity to familiarize themselves with the principles of psychology, and the application of those prin- ciples to daily living. The study of psychology is also valuable to the student preparing himself for teach- ing, law, medicine, the ministry, and social work. 28
