122 COLLEGE OF SCIENCE The higher mental functions are then studied in a similar way, and the experimenter held responsible for the purity of the experimental conditions and the method of procedure. As a preparation for this, scientific methods and the logic o! experimentation are made special objects of study. The history of psychology is also taken up. A full line of periodical literature is made accessible by the University, and this serves as the basis of reports in the seminary. In order to give a comprehensive survey of psychic activities, the genesis of mind with its accompanying development of neural structure is traced from the lower forms of life to its culmination in adult man. For the accomplishment of the second aim of the department, that of original research, the laboratory is well equipped with suitable apparatus and every incentive is given toward a high grade of work. Investigations not immediately connected with the laboratory are also encouraged. The plan of this higher work is formed on a cooperative basis so that each investigator not only receives the assistance of his fellow students, but is also allowed to participate in their work.
