Q. .. -A, Knox was one of the first colleges to work out a plan of integrated education, under which the student's interests are encouraged through a system Of close faculty guidance. This plan helps the student become aware of the meaning, purpose, and use of what he is learning as it relates both to himself and to the society of which he is a member. On the basis of entrance tests and in- terviews, freshmen are enrolled by their tutors in courses which best fill their individual needs. There are four ways by which the student may achieve the goals of the General Education level: through individual work with his tutor, mfon through General Education courses in the three areas of knowledge CArts and Literature, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciencesj, through departmental courses at the freshman and sophomore level, and through independent preparation for comprehensive examinations covering the three areas. Faculty members who acted as Tutors this year were: Dean Adamec, Mr. Brown, Mr. Clare, Mr. John Davenport, Mr. Delo, Miss Finger, Mr. Furrow, Mr. Goode, Mr. J. Johnson, Mr. N. Johnson, Miss Lindahl, Mr. Merrill, Mr. Moore, Mr. Muelder, Mr. Mutch, Mr. Poston, Mr. Stephens, and Mrs. Wilson. TUTORS, seated, left to right: Lindahl, Clare, Mue-lder, Poston, Finger, Moore.
