I really have enjoyed reading about our long history of psychology right here in Beloit!
It is strange to think that this place has gone through so many changes. I found it interesting that, from the comments made by students at the time (through the Round Table, etc.), it seems like the overall atmosphere of Beloit College hasn't changed much. The professors are still extremely knowledgeable and eccentric, the students still enjoy working closely with faculty members...
Plus, I am so impressed that we have had psychology professors that come from all over the US and some that grew up in distant countries. I think it is amazing that out of the handful of lucky US psychology students that were able to work under Wundt, that one of them came here to work! (if only for a shorter period of time)
I guess this just makes me think that we really should look harder at the old things we throw away!

I agree with you Clara. Honestly, at first, I was a little skeptical about reading the book. But I found it so applicable to what we've been learning in class--Plus, we've really had some famous individuals come out of our school.
ReplyDeleteWhether they created Napalm, made the Army Alpha and Beta tests, or were just an inspiration to the Beloit college itself--it's obvious we have some talent here (currently and in the past.)
I'm shocked at how informative I found the book to be--- especially the little tidbits of juicy information (no pun intended from class earlier!!!)
It was a fun read!
