Program was begun in 1958 to enrich the learning of select superior students through independent study and group discussions. The faculty elects students at the end of their Freshman year on the basis of grade point average, desire to learn, ability to think independently, creativity, and plans for the future. During the student ' s sophomore and junior years he par- ticipates in the colloquim program. These discussions in- volve major issues of concern, such as religion, education, ecology, politics, mass media, and psychology. In the junior year, the student begins working on his project. For the seniors, the senior seminar program in his own field substitutes for the colloquim discussions. He must also finish his project and give a public presentation in chapel.
