Meals will be taken in the* Stetson, cafeteria. A program, at Stetson University which strives to excite and chal- enge its best students is rapidly proving itself. It is the four-year Honors Program first begun for freshmen in the fall of I960., - ' Objective of the Stetson program is to challenge and motivate superior students in such a way that they will feel compelled • to put forth their best efforts in meeting the demands of their intellectual experiences. The four-year plan is proving so successful that "the Stetson faculty feels it:has now become a fully integrated part of the curriculum. Students who began the Honors Program in' 1960 and will shortly become seniors have already demonstrated superior achievements both in their academic work and in extra-curricular-activities. SUCCESS NOTED According to the chairman of the program, ' Dr. Jofyn ' Hague, Honors at Stetson has had "amazing success" gauged by those students who were graduated from the original plan which was begun in 1956 for upper division students only. The four-year program was an outgrowth of this two-year plan. - Of the 38 graduates of the program in the classes from 1957 to 1962, 32 went on for advanced study — most of those who did not were girls who got married. . Out of the 32, approximately 28 received fellowships — they won about two-thirds of the major fellowships that Stetson students received during that period. At least 25 of these have persisted with their graduate work, according'to ' Hague, have been successful and. are. now - expected, to receive -the highest degrees that can be earned in their fields. In creating an Honors Program, the assumption by Stetson's faculty was that a superior student could acquire the proper foundation for specialized- study "more rapidly than the . regular student, according to Dr. Hague. "Our hope has been to create a framework allowing the -gradual maturing of the .Honors, student, and broadening and stimulating of his intellectual pursuits," Hague says. "The student assumes greater responsibility and exercises more initiative as he progresses in his work at Stetson." Those invited to apply- for the four-year Stetson Honors program are incoming students whose high school records and College Board scores make- it probable they will achieve at least a B plus average in their college work. They are those who give promise of their ability to graduate from Stetson with honors. Forty-three students are now enrolled as juniors, sophomores, or freshmen. "Those of us involved in the Honors Program would argue, that it is the emergence of the disciplined mind and life which is, or ought to be, the real hallmark of the educated man," Hague asserts. "We are really talking about a program in which students can become conscious of personal learning standards, and, we would hope, also, conscious of how they measure up to these standards." In order that freshmen accepted into the Honors program have already demonstrated actual achievement .as well as high potenial, interested new students must pass an exemption examination in one of the general education courses. — communications, Western civilization, math, science, or arts and letters. After acceptance, the freshman follows a carefully prescribed series of courses and seminars. He takes a special seminar in humanities which includes a writing lab— the seminar emphasizes the relationship between literature and the plastic arts and continues for three semesters. The freshman participates in a seminar in social and behavioral sciences, exploring significant contemporary research as well as attempting to correlate the natural and social sciences. After receiving a thorough grounding in psychology and anthropology, he examines the concept of American national character from the vantage point of the several social sciences. The freshman takes - one other general education course, and a fourth course in modern language. Goal is for the student to gain a reading knowledge of ■ two languages or genuine proficiency in one. Majors in special fields may substitute appropriate courses. , As a sophomore, the Honors student completes the humanities seminar , and takes a course in (Continued on Page Three) j -Reservations for Men's Housing will be taken for' the - Fall -1963 semester April. 22 through April 26.
