THE CONFERENCE PLAN In (irclor to liumani c education by bringin;; the students and the professors into closer contact, Dr. Holt originated the Conference I ' lan of Study iwcnty-onc years ago. Dr. Holt believes that the development of character should be the goal of all students, and that educa- tion is a part of life even while it is a preparation for more satisfying living. Rollins strives to treat each incoming student as an individual with his own particular problems, interests, and knowledge. In doing this, the College gives a series of aptitude tests to help the student judge his capacities and deficiencies. Each student is also assigned an advisor and together they work out for the Lower Division a plan of study which includes subjects from all fields and gives the student a broad base for the specialized work he is to do later. liy the time the student has finished his sophomore year he is expected to have chosen his major field. He then presents his qualifications and a plan of the work he intends to cover during his last two years at Rollins, to the Upper Division Board. Upon fulfillment of this con- tract the student is ready to graduate. Upon graduation the student knows what ii is to have learning substituted for instruction, to have his intellectual curiosity and enthusi- asm encouraged, and to have been given ilie eli.ince to build his course of study around his individual needs and capacities. He knows what it is to be a well educated, well-balanced, and a well-adjusted individual — thanks to the Rollins Conference Plan. 16
