HONORS PROGRAMS The Intensified Studies program emerges into the public conscious- ness only once a year, when senior I.S. students report their research in chapel presentations. This is the culmination of a three-year pro- gram, beginning when the student is elected by the faculty at the end of his freshman year. The first two years, students meet bi-weekly for discussion of various topics. The high point of these years are the annual trips to such cities as San Francisco and Vic- toria, B.C. In the second year, the student selects a topic for special study. The senior year is spent compiling a scholarly paper— from which is taken the material for the chapel presentation. The Intensified Studies program gives the student a chance for additional study in his major field. This in-depth study is often helpful when he graduates and begins to apply some of the concepts which he has developed through study and evaluation.
