Exchange of Ideas... inquiry, discussion, and learning The Erst essential quality of a well rounded community from Platds time to the present has been cooperation. In Goueher College coopera- tion is possible because the members of the faculty are sensitive to the needs of the students. The faculty of Goucher College is an excep- tionally learned group and, we believe, the Enest. In Class we strive to explore the large areas of learning they open for us. Outside of class we make appointments with the faculty, sometimes of necessity, and, many times, just because we want to talk to them. We are interested in their Views about the world, the future, the cost of living, the direction of modern art, or any other topic which they might wish to discuss. XVhen it comes time to make up a schedule, we have a problem similar to that of the child wan- dering through the land of candy Howers and ice cream trees. There are so many good courses. And it is the faculty members who make these courses Ngood,,. It is because we are able to see 12 Nona Freiberger, Pres. Kraushaar, and Sita Kurk- jian try to hnd new approaches to old problems. their great interest in the material that we learn to have interest ourselves. Each departmental group contains specialists who have reached the wonderful heights of scholarly learning. XVhen we Choose our major held, we show our preference for one area of study, but throughout our four years, we con- tinue our contacts with other Eelds. The departmental Clubs give us further oppora tunity to apply our developing major. Speaking 3 foreign language with our contemporaries or examining a seientiEe technicality with a group can be a thrilling experience. Field trips, plays and movies add to our appreciation of the things we are learning. Amid all this cultivation of higher learning we still find time to sit down with our favorite faculty members and just talk. In a liberal education, the exchange of ideas has become as important as strict academic proce dure. The faculty inspires us to develop into intelligent Citizens of our own communities with a sincere desire to continue learning.
