Survey results tabulated in Table I list course names with counts, including General Educational Psychology 45, Mental Tests 17, and Genetic Psychology 16. The author concludes "courses doubtless similar in content bearing titles quite dissimilar" and that titles serve as labels for "all-spice" courses.
"One observes considerable confusion in terminology, courses doubtless similar in content bearing titles quite dissimilar. The subtopics are distributed according to the individual instructors' conception of the course."
