NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

"So many of our concentrators have been pre-medical men that the department has decided to open a new course that will combine the fields of medicine and psychology for the first time in the University," Gordon W. Aliport, associate professor of Psychology, announced yesterday.

The course, which deals with psychiatric problems in children, is open only to graduate students. The study includes actual contact with medical work in the examination of the children and in the lectures.

Enlarged Program

The course is part of an enlargement program that the psychology department has mapped out for the ensuing year and which is destined to bring the two departments of psychology and medicine into closer harmony.

Several other courses along the lines of this one have been scheduled for the second half of the year, although they are not definite as yet.
