SELF-STUDY PROGRAM Heidelberg was among seventeen colleges in the United States to be chosen for a Self-Study Program. The study is financed by a grant of 314,000 from the Ford Foundation for the Advancement of Education. Other colleges and universities granted funds at this time include Stanford University, State University of Iowa, Bowdoin College, Depauw University, Colby College and the College of the City of New York. The general purpose of the grant is to explore the basic purposes of the college as related to liberal education. It involves the study of the curriculum, the faculty, and other factors fundamental to a sound educational program. Directing the study at Heidelberg is Dr. E. I. F. Williams of the Department of Education. Assistant Director is Carl G. Klopfenstein of the Department of History. Composing the Advisory Committee are Professors Kenneth B. Barnes, John 1. Kolehmainen, Frank R. Kramer, Frederick D. Lemke and David S. Noss. All members of thc faculty are serving on committees. The study must be completed by September 1, 1955. Through the study it is hoped that the major objectives, as stated by the Advisory Committee in its appli- cation for the grant, may be achieved. These are aj to formulate an optimum pro- gram with respect to staff, curriculum, and student body for an institution having 750 students, an educational budget of approximately S600,000, and the stated objectives of Heidelberg College and bj to appraise the present status of Heidel- berg College in the light of this optimum program and to propose specific measures for correcting whatever deficiencies may be revealed by the inquiry. The student body, alumni, ministers of the Evangelical and Reformed churches, the community, and faculty will make contributions to the Self-Study Program through questionnaires. It is truly a cooperative enterprise.
