INTRODUCTORY The courses in the Department are planned with three purposes in view: (1) to meet the needs of undergraduate students who desire an intelligent acquaintance with the general principles of Psychology and their bearing upon the larger social and scientific interests of modern life; (2) to afford adequate discipline for students who wish to employ Psychology as a basis for higher work in philosophy, education, the biological and social sciences; (3) to furnish a sound and symmetrical training for teachers, investigators, and specialists in the various branches of psychological science. The fellowships at the disposal of the Department are intended for persons who give promise of distinction in research work. Candidates for the Doctor's degree in Psychology are advised in all cases to have the equivalents of courses 2-5 in the Department of Philosophy. When the principal work falls within the lines of Experimental Psychology, or Comparative Psychology, the candidate will be expected to have the equivalents of the elementary courses in Neurology and either Physiology or Zoology. Students in other departments who expect to make Psychology a secondary subject for any of the higher degrees should consult with the head of the Department, immediately after entering upon residence. The amount of work required in such cases depends upon the previous training of the candidates. From six to nine majors are commonly necessary. The Psychological Laboratory occupies two buildings of its own: one at 5728 Ellis Avenue, and the other at 5704 Ellis Avenue. The former contains recitation rooms, libraries, and research rooms for graduate students. The latter is devoted entirely to animal psychology. For a description of the Psychopathic Laboratory see p. 381. The facilities for work in animal psychology are peculiarly good and the equipment for such work, already among the best to be found anywhere, is being rapidly enlarged. The collection of general apparatus ranks among the most extensive in the country and is designed to afford opportunity for thorough training in accepted methods of research and to supply the necessary means for investigation. New apparatus required for research is promptly furnished. The results of all approved investigations appear either in the Psychological Review or in other publications of repute.
