ACADEMICS An emphasis on individual aca- demic excellence establishes the basis for education at Wesleyan. With a low studentffaculty ratio, independent study is encouraged and consultations with professors are possible. Activities inside and outside the classroom provide an overview of human achievements and problems. To this end, the administration acts to develop the program of study into a meaningful educa- tional experience. Prior to the be- ginning of the academic year, a new department, Education and Special Projects, was added to the existing three. Other changes wrought by the administration exhibited the con- servative mood of the campus. Students and some faculty found it difficult to accept the elimina- tion of the foreign language re- quirement and the change in the quality point requirement. What will probably be remem- bered as the controversy of the year developed around the failure of the administration to renew the contracts of two professors, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Mann. Although their actions could not alter the decision, the concern of students indicated by a packed Senate meeting and countless appeals could only be viewed as the same studentffaculty relationship which is the boast of the college. wsf1swnf:n!:5f2-x'v-ii..'4J-:iL'- -:N --f f . .4. ,I--2- 14 ra- ff
