N my A number of educational practices characterize Benedictine. Teachers make students write out their answers, instead of checking them off a multiple-choice list. They assign tough homework daily. As a consequence of these and other deliberate measures, Benedictine turns out graduates who do well in college. Benedictine's reputation is based upon teaching students to work. Teachers make sure that the student adjusts to a single fact of life: You get out of it what you put into it. This need for plain, conscientious, productive hard work is empha- sized through a faculty which, first of all, is understanding. The Bene- dictine priests, Brothers and laymen like students. They are interested in them and seek to win their confidence. Furthermore, the Benedictine faculty strives for clarity in teaching through justice and impartiality, with an interesting approach and a sense of humor. A climate of warmth exists at Benedictine since the faculty knows students by name. Students, in turn, feel liked and wanted. And that's the reason students claim a Benedictine teacher is to edu- cation what an architect is to a beautiful building. However, there is this distinction: An architect puts steel and stone and wood together and builds something still, cold and heartless, while a Benedictine teacher finishes the building job of the Divine Architect of souls-producing Benedictine men. This is done by drawing out from each student all the capabilities within him until they are full grown and ripened and trained. It's the development of the students' powers-morally, mentally and physically.
