The first step in this stu.lenl-teaelier relal i.-risliip is taken when the student ' s academic pri nram is planned und»T tile ftnidance of a faculty counselor. ' I ' lie stu- dent ' s advisor shows omcern about the student ' s prolilems, aspirations, and accomplishments through- out his stay at tiie Collcfte. Throunh this pro rram the new student iM-comes an integral part of the institution of liarninn. makinp new friends amotif; memlurs of his own and other classes and the faculty and administra- tive officers. The stuilent U ' comes a part of the .leumcratic life of William ami Mary, which encourap ' s the exchange of friendly pn-etinns with other students, meml)ers of th ' faculty and visitors to the College. This spirit pertnc- ates tile cla.s.sr M m as well: f .r the new student fin.ls his instructors and the administrative staff reaily and willing; to assist him throu);li their eNperience, human iinderslandiiig. and knowledge.
