Students Probe Expanded Academics Whether struggling to comprehend the antics of a “sick” computer, squeezing the solution to a homework problem from an instructor during the final seconds of study and help period, or grasping on a December Comprehensive Exam for a fact lost after a confused cram session the night before, students found that the learning process begins with a series of realizations and discoveries. Often students viewed discovery as the required job at Culver. Gaining enough Quality Points for college admission pro¬ vided the materialistic goal for most stu¬ dents, but in seeking the highest possible slot in the class ranking, all stumbled across a captivating interest or frustration. Through the maze of concepts from a “Fine and Brown” history book or an English lecture “Between Heaven and Earth,” the students identified with and began to probe an individual fascination. The depth to which they contemplated and developed interests became a guage of what they had learned. 22

Through an osmosis of example, Culver has enabled the student to function effectively in society and has taught the importance of an individual philosophy and sense of direction. The student has found that Culver is a multiplicity of reflections to be fabricated into a perspective which he may reconsider and act upon. During June Week, a satisfaction possesses each senior. For some, a failure in one of the phases of Culver has displaced the glory, but the face of each student reflects a sense of accomplishment from an accumulation of experiences leading to the Iron Gate. 21
