DSC's ever-broadening curricu- lum extends to other countries and other cultures, inspiring stu- dents to delve deeply into the mysteries of another kind of life. In this age personal acquaintance with instructors and personal participation in class discussions is a crucial issue. At DSC a classroom in which students are reduced to a fog behind the dominating voice of a tape recorder is not a favorite. Classroom projects are a group-centered activity, yet each student finds personal satisfaction in completing his own part to the best of his ability.

Education Is First Perhaps the most conscious stimulation is that of the academic world. The instructors at DSC are par- tially responsible for the alert, optimistic graduate leaving for futures undimmed by doubt and uncer- tainties. With pride, an instructor hears of a former DSC student whose prow'ess in the field of letters reflects favorably upon the college and teachers. Like- wise there may be a reflection cast upon the institu- tion by a dissillusioned dropout, whose college ex- pereiences turned him against the academic world. Just as a star pupil is a secret delight, so the teacher whose theme is caring is a source of pleasure to the student, helping to bridge the gaps between youth and knowledge. The President's weekly news conference acquaints inter- ested people with happenings at DSC, both present and future. 3
