.1- Richard T. Ezell, Instructor in English Van Voorhees Lloyd: Psychologists have long known that, if a student is to learn, he must become actively involved in the learning process. He must act before the consequences of his behavior can have any effect on what he will do subsequently. While the teacher may structure the situation so as to induce the student to respond in a given way, it is better if the student takes the initiative with a minimum of prompting. As Comenius, the Czech educator, pointed out several centuries ago, i'The more the teacher teaches, the less the student learns. Richard Ezell: As my somewhat Victorian friend Trueheart used to say: True involvement, like true love, is a gift neither given to all nor obedient to human wishes. Like love, involvement finds worthy or unworthy objects, comes at seasonable or un- seasonable times, leaves one fulfilled or frustrated. And like love, involvement may be talked about endlessly, with all the talk coming finally to nothing. Helen A. Nutting, Professor of History Van Voorhees Lloyd, Professor of Psychology

Helen-Lee Jones, Assistant Professor of Fine Arts Josephine Harris: Student involvement! Certainly, and not only students but all of us. The questions are-what kind of involvement and for what pur- pose? The answers are many and varied, and each individual has to make his own decision. But involve- ment that is constructive, creative, and positive, whatever the specific project, will be of lasting value not only to the person himself, but also to others. 28 Harry M. Buck, Professor of Religion Studies Josephine M. Harris, Professor of Fine Arts
