Moral a fid Rabbi Marcus Kramer New ork Lniversiis, Ll.B. Hebrew Union College, M.H.L. Bible Class in Convocation Room Under the direction of Rabbi Kramer during the first semester, we looked at the Old Testa- ment as a book of beautiful literature. A poet at heart, the Rabbi showed to us the grace and rhythm of the Bible, which conveyed not only the mere history of the Children of Israel, but also their endless search for a better under- standing of God. The term paper on the Prophets, written at the end of the semester, gave everyone a chance to follow his own creative interest and gain a real appreciation of the Bible for himself. 22

Psychology Mrs. Kenneth Kagen University of Pennsylvania. B.S., M.A. Zesting, Jutemcwing, CouHsdling When a freshman enters college, he is fre- quently assailed by doubts as to what career he should choose, which college he should select, and which courses he should elect. Some of these doubts are eliminated in the normal course of events. In some cases, how- ever, the problem becomes more and more perplexing throughout the collegiate experience. In the spring semester of the 1954-55 school year, York Junior College established a Testing and Counselling service with Mrs. Ken- neth Kagen in charge. This service, through a series of tests and interviews, provides the counsellor with salient facts concerning the aptitudes, interests, and potential abilities of the individual student which are used to assist him in making intelligent decisions regarding his future. The York Junior College Counselling Service has also been sought by individuals in the community in order to obtain a better knowl- edge of their own capabilities in relation to their current jobs or proposed jobs, in addition to her Testing and Counselling activites, Mrs. Kagen also teaches General Psychology and The Family.

Lancaster Theological Seininary. B.D. Reverend Blum was always in a liuriy to get the New Testament class started by 10:25. He taught us to look squarely at the New Testament, understanding that it was written by different men at different times under many influencing factors. He urged us to kxik lor the overall meaning of certam passages, not just to select a solitary line and close our eyes to the context. During the first semester Reverend Hoover instructed those students who were interested in the Latin language. Because ol the large demand for Bible study during the second semester, he shifted from Latin to the study of the New Testament, emphasizing its moral and spiritual values. Reverend C.
