4 OAK LEAVES June, I967 From the Headmaster . . CLASS OF '63 TODAY CContinued from Page lj Perhaps the most significant edu- cational venture at Abington Friends School outside the usual curricular pattern is the Senior Project, de- scribed in detail elsewhere in this issue of Oak Leaves. Although we might not find unanimous agreement among students, faculty, parents, and our visiting speakers or panelists on the timing and method of the project, I think there are few who do not see the values of this departure from the usual academic curriculum. The pro- ject seems to promote some import- ant educational gains: it involves in- dependent study through reading that is not narrowly limited or highly structured Cthis encourages the strongly motivated and searching student to pursue her study in depthlg it requires critical assess- ment of experts who diifer among themselves and with whom the stu- dents have had personal contactg and, perhaps most innovative of all, it provides the students with direct in- volvement and experience in the pro- ject, studied, not merely with a teacher-directed, textbook - oriented approach to the topic under study. Thirteenth Year? The enthusiasm of the students, the encouragement of a university professor who participa.ted in the pro- ject, the favorable evaluation of our studen-ts' work experience by those not directly associated with the school, should give impetus to break further the confinement of the tradi- tional curriculum. Should such ex- periences start earlier - perhaps in the freshman, sophomore, or junior years? Would perhaps an extension and development of the Senior Pro- ject idea be a valuable and enriching program for a year between high school and college? Recently Presi- dent Kingman Brewster, Jr. of Yale University promoted the idea. that fl great many high school graduates would proit by a year before college in some activity that was in sharp contrast to the pressure for competi- tive academic achievementf' The de- lay, he said, would do wonders for motivation, for perspective and for character.

The Senior Project may bear the seeds for constructive change. In any event it is a venture forward from the curricular frame- work and has already eiected im- portant gains to the seniors who, we trust, will graduate with perhaps greater insight and perspective as a result of this project than they would have under the more traditional aca- demic year. -Adelbert Mason Phyllis Croll is graduating trom Elmira Col- lege as an economics maior.
