MORRIS COLLEGE INITIATES FRESHMAN STUDIES PROGRAM Under the administration of Dr. Luns C. Richardson, President for the first time, the college has initiated an integrated approach to Freshman Studies in which freshman education is treated as a distinct concern in itself. In keeping with its open door policy, the college has initiated a new program to provide educational development for students whose high school education is considered deficient, and whose chances of success in college are marginal. Students in the Freshman Studies Program receive individual assistance and intensified training in English, Reading, Computational Skills, and Fine Arts. Emphases are being placed on Communication Skills and understanding ideas. The program is being implemented through innovative instruction directed to the students achievement of observable goals. In addition to regular classes. The Freshman Studies Program is conducting many enriching activities such as trips, attendance of musical events (popular and classic), excursions, cultural and social affairs for its students. Staff members, with the help of tutors, are conducting these activities as part of their responsibilities for general student development. Personnel consist of a core of five faculty specialists, secular and religious counselors and members of the regular faculty who render adjunct services as needed. Professor P. T. Williams is director of the Program.
