Pomona College; M.A., Ph.D., New York University; Dean of Education Your Whcclock adventure lies in discovering and developing your capacities and talents; in finding your unique style with children; in developing values sufficiently flexible to enable you to adapt to your rapidly changing universe, yet sufficiently firm to provide the guidelines essential to the educated woman, the responsible citizen, the knowledgeable, warm mother and the master teacher. Your faculty's Whcclock adventure lies in teaching, and in the exciting search for more effective patterns in curriculum, method, attitude formation, personality development, and faculty-student relationships. For us, there would be no adventure in developing teaching technicians, skilled in following teacher's guides, relying largely on stereotyped workbooks or their modern version, teaching machines. All the talent, imagination and wisdom you and your faculty possess is required, in the crowded four years of your Whcclock adventure, to realize your unique capabilities, and to enable you to become master teachers and educated women.
