I ! I ' The Women of Wesleyan search for knowledge from many directions. W « . ■ esleyan academics is anything from an “A” to an “F,” from mid-term tests to final ex- ams, from buying books to paying tuition. Wesleyan academics are — in a word — unique. Wesleyan College was chartered in 1836 when higher education for women was only a dream. A Methodist related institution, Wesleyan was the first college to commit itself to a liberal arts program designed to send young women out into the real world with the best possible preparation to build a comfor¬ table and satisfying life. A woman comes to Wesleyan today because of its career-oriented and individualized instruction based on a broad curriculum. Wesleyan motivates women to strive harder, to study and learn more. The student-teacher ratio is 10:1, and the Wesleyan faculty is the best around. Faculty advisors and pro¬ fessors are always available for conferences. They give extra help when it is needed, and they provide a listening ear when students simply need someone to talk to. y no means is learning limited to classroom ai laboratory settings. The women who attend Wesley; explore career possibilities through internship volunteer work, field trips, student teaching, ai study abroad. Wesleyan is an educational institute that seeks academic excellence. Students who attend Wesleyan prepare for tl future and become more aware of the past as it relat to the present. They are continually challenged to their best, to become aware of their capabilities, ar to develop them to their fullest.
