Description

This image depicts a psychology or “Mental and Moral Sciences” class being led by the man seen standing in the photograph, Perry Trowbridge. Psychology courses were required for all students, and were considered to be a part of the Pedagogy curriculum. The two courses were Elements of Psychology, which explored the basic principles of the field, and General Application of Psychology, which taught students how to apply basic psychological principles to the art of teaching. Students who wanted to receive their Bachelor of Pedagogics were also required to take an Advanced Psychology course, which also included lessons focused on philosophy.
