Olivet College - Oaks Yearbook (Olivet, MI)

“When the ideas of liberal or progressive philosophy are translated into educational practice the school and the college are organ- ized as institutional models of a liberal society. In the progressive school the teacher is not an authority who tells his pupils what to think and what to do. He is the educational equivalent of the liberal father and mother, he is an understanding adult who is helping the student to develop into maturity. He seeks no intellectual or personal domination over the minds and attitudes of his students, he does not force their ideas toward established con- clusions but acts in ways calculated to help them form their own judgments, Each student is involved in the life of the school and has a part in forming its policies. He is not exposed to punitive practices, either the threat of dismissal, a bad grade, or academic failure. He is not threatened with the necessity for competition, he is taught to take his part in class with the others, and to add what he can to the general welfare and development of all,”
