Abstract

In keeping with its program of preventive psychiatry in the college setting, the psychiatry department of the student health service at Massachusetts Institute of Technology instituted "an experiment in group psychodynamics" for volunteer freshman students. The following is a report on the response of three freshman classes with regard to volunteering and attendance plus a more detailed analysis of a recent freshman class, 1955-56, with respect to academic ratings, personality ratings, withdrawals from school, academic disqualifications, and the use made of individual psychiatric help.
