ACADEMICS Facult reflects genuine interest, personal approach The maior objective of an institution of higher learning is that of training its students and Harding had a genuine in- terest in helping young people to develop character. spiritual resources. maturity. and emotional stability. Students were guided in their educational experience by 105 Christian men and women. The stu- dent-faculty ratio of 18.2 emphasized Harding's commitment to the personal ap- proach in education. This was more im- portant than ever as students sought direction in forming life-long values. During the 1969-70 school year an extensive self-study was made for a re- evaluation by the North Central Associa- tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools. The report of the examiners commended Harding College for the clarity of her objectives. effectiveness in implementing the objectives, and the achievements of the students.
