I so enjoyed reading Larry's book last week and I thought we were able to have some great conversations because of the enthusiasm from everyone in the class that day. (I'm also glad everyone survived the heated trivia game :) I mostly enjoyed learning about how the Psychology Department at Beloit College has survived through so much. I just showed some prospies around ysterday and was proud to say that we were the only social science department housed in the science center. We should be so very proud of this!
To read about the long line of impressive faculty members that have served our psychology department was a pleasure. I wonder how even way back then we attrachted such amazing professors. I was especially impressed with Professor Farris and The de Weerdts. All of these people were focused on their students and the legacy of this focus is so important. Megan mentioned how furtunate we are to be at a student-centered college and she couldn't be more right.
I have attached a '98 Psychobabble. Seems random, but I think it's good to look at just our recent successes. For those of us who are graduating I recommend looking down at "Alumni News" to see all the different jobs alums have pursued from the class of '32 through '97!

I really enjoyed Larry's book as well and felt much more proud to be a Beloit PSYCH major! I told a few people about the book and they seemed genuinely interested about the school's history. I thought the book was a perfect length as well and it seemed like if it were any longer, Larry would've gotten too aggravated as well.
