IN THE CLASSROOM and in the laboratory the plan for the future is formed. It is here we feel the joy of discovering a new idea — a thought that appeals to our imagination — a different approach to a problem which stimulates our creativity. Faculty members at River Falls maintain teaching as their primary aim and seek to instill in their students a love of learning. Members of the faculty participate actively in the work of learned societies, publish in a number of journals and frequently receive awards and recognition in their respective fields. The River Falls educational design is planned to produce a graduate who, in addition to being prepared to earn a living, is prepared to enjoy life. Our general education program has been praised by educational leaders throughout the country. Because the College believes that tomorrow depends on an enlightened and sympathetic people, it strives to give the best possible education to its students. The close teacher-student relationship helps to create between faculty and students friendships which go beyond mere classroom acquaintance. The eagerness of teachers to help the individual student is a distinctive feature of River Falls. In the classroom.
