Trow and Gail discuss the fine points of religion conf EREI1CE P L r n With the introduction of a speeded-up war program into Rollins life, there came of neces- sity many changes. The academic schedule up to this time had provided for two-hour classes; one hour for instruction and discussion and the second for conferences and supervised study. This plan was replaced by a one-hour program. The question in the mind of everyone was, can the Conference Plan still function effectively under these conditions? After two terms the answer is definitely, Yes. Of course, theoretically, the supervised study-hour has fallen in discard, but nevertheless, the basic idea still prevails. The large table in each classroom around which the Professor and students sit is still here. The teacher does not preside at a separate desk or on a platform but works with the students com- pletely, even to sitting with them. In other words, he is a co-worker and not a task-master. 10

As has been said many times in the past, tha Conference Plan is the distinguishing mark of the Rollins College program. It takes the place of the usual lecture and recitation systems gen- erally used in other colleges and universities. For its objective it has a continuous, cooperative, democratic, friendly, and human relationship be- tween student and teacher. Behind this is the theory that since the student ' s mind is normally immature, he needs the professor most when he is preparing his lessons, not after he has learned it or failed to grasp it. The student ceases to be a passive recipient of information under the Con- ference Plan, as he is under the lecture system, or a target for the professor ' s catch quizzing under the straight recitation system. Instead, he becomes a partner in the joint quest for truth, in which the teacher, it is true, acts as guide, but to which the student must contribute his eagerness to learn and the reaction of his own mind to the facts and ideas to which he is ex- posed. Recitations and lectures, as systems, are abolished, and the discussion, or conference is submitted. Of course, this does not mean that at Rollins we do not have some recitations and some lectures, for we do, but it does mean that Dot and Bow brouse through the stacks as a system they are not tolerated. The fact is that we do not have a system of final exams. However, we do have weekly quizzes and exam- inations. The main purpose of these quizzes is to point out to the Prof the student ' s weak spots The Baroness gives a 1 tew pointers in French 11
