Honors Program Gives Opportunity
To Gifted English, Biology Majors
In the past when e.xceptional
student.'-- seemed to need opportu-nities
to exploit their creative
abilities, specific instructors en-couraged
this avenue of expression
in a particular course. Ultimately
the plan has been to make such
opportunities more widely avail-able
through the introduction of
the Honors Program.
This year two departments have
established such a program, the
English Department and the Bio-logy
Department.
E n g l i s h H o n o rs
As an opportunity to develop a
comprehensive view of his whole
field of study as well as to under-take
independent work in an area
beyond regular course offerings,
the superior student is invited to
participate in the Honors Program
in English. A First Cla.ssnian ac-cepted
in this program takes in his
first term En 407- Thesis and in
his second En 434—Literary Cri-ticism.
At the end of the year he takes
a comprehensive examination
written and oral, over the whole
field of his major. There are two
members of the class of 1966 en-rolled
in the program. Lother P.
DeTeiuple is preparing a paper
"Manifestations of the Conflict
between Life and the Artist in the
Works of Poe," while David S.
Dunkle is researching the theme
