on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The extended noon hour recess on these two days
allows time for a full programme of student activities. Classes end at 4:50 p.m. No
formal classes are scheduled on Saturday afternoons.

Evening classes begin at 7:30 and end at 9:00.

The college library is open each day from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. with the excep-
tion of Saturdays when it is open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

THE ORGANIZATION OF INSTRUCTION

The organization of the instructional programme of the College reflects the point
of view that the process of education is both facilitated and strengthened when
conditions exist which permit each student personally, to engage himself in dialogue
with members of the Faculty and with fellow students. To this end the instructional
programme focuses on tutorial and seminar work in small groups. Here students
will be encouraged to enter freely into academic discussion. They will be required
to present and defend papers and to do directed reading. This type of instruction
places a special responsibility on students to discipline their own work, and to
express themselves frequently and well, in written and oral communication. Seminar
groups will not normally exceed fifteen students in number. Tutorial groups will be
even smaller.

Special provision has been made to assist students in their individual study during
their free periods on campus. For example, single study carrels have been built into
the college library, audio and visual equipment will be available to them. Students
are encouraged to arrange appointments with their instructors on an individual or a
small group basis in order to clear up any difficulties they may be encountering in
their studies or to pursue in greater depth a special area of interest.

Although it will be necessary in most subjects to offer lectures to large groups in
order to maintain a sense of subject matter continuity, the lecture method will be
much less central in the teaching programme than it is in most colleges and uni-
versities.

Early in the academic year, each student will be assigned to a faculty member who
will act as his special advisor helping him in the planning of his course of studies
and advising him on his studies as a whole throughout his college career.

The College is a place both of liberal education and of applied education. It seeks
a blending of the learning which liberates and the training which equips. Its aim is
to graduate people who are articulate, knowledgeable, and ready to enter and adjust
to a rapidly changing world.

GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES

Each term the College will offer courses intended to broaden the general education
of students and, where needed, to remedy deficiencies in certain basic skills — for
example, reading.

In general, the courses will require two hours per week. Variations which may
occur will be listed in the course descriptions.

In each of two terms, the student will be required to take one General Education
course in addition to the 15 units of credit required of a full-time student. Only one
