FACULTY AND CURRICULUM Helping each individual to realize his fullest potential is the purpose to which our faculty have dedicated themselves. Although facts still must be learned, when they are explained with patience and understanding, they vibrate with meaning, clear our confused minds, and elevate our level of knowledge. Curricular duties are the chief responsibility of our teachers, who take time, however, from busy schedules to be sincere friends.
