Oxbridge Enhances Study William Jewell welcomed its first class of Oxbridge scholars in 1985. Oxbridge -- named from a combina- tion of OXford and CamBRlDGE - is a program of tutorial majors open to freshman and sophomore students. As a part of this program, students have the opportunity to study at Ox- ford or Cambridge for all or part of their junior year. The tutorial approach to learning emphasizes researching independent- ly, solving problem solving, reading, and writing. It is ideal for intellectual- ly self-reliant students who can manage their own learning time, free of daily accountability to their instructors. Oddly enough, these exceptional students were not required to have any specific grade point average or level of test scores to be admitted to the program. Instead, they demonstrated intellectual vitality and evidenced an ability to perserve in this demanding course of study. The few who demonstrated these characteristics were: Kevin Moore, sophomore, Meredith Moore, soph- omore, and Stacey Wilburn, freshman who majored in English language and literatureg Marilyn Carter, sophomore and Lloyd Den- ton, freshman who majored in historyg Michelle Dillard, freshman, Jon Hemphill, freshman, and Lin- da Penrod, freshman who majored in institutions and policy lan inter- disciplinary combination of philosophy, politics, and economicslg Tim Smith, freshman, who majored in religious studies, and John Crane, sophomore who majored in molecular biology. A music major is also offered. The Oxbridge Program, under the direction of Dr. Anne Marie Shannon, is funded by a 331,005,000 grant from the Hallmark Education Foundation of Kansas City. Also in 1985, the campus received the first paper in the Ox- bridge Paper Series. Presented by Meredith Moore, the paper was chosen as the outstanding paper from the introductory seminar.
