Curriculum Chan
In response to questions received
in the recent symposium
sponsored debate The
Guilfordian is reprinting this
explanation of the new
curriculum from the Alumni
Journal.
To meet today's demand for
relevance, Guilford College has
designed the Freshman year with
stress upon a contemporary
"problems" approach to
learning. This pattern
inter-relates several traditionally
different fields of study,
increases flexibility and
encourages independent thought
and study on the part of
students.
Guilford has decided to
combine elements of several
previously required courses in a
deliberate way so that the
impact of each subject area on a
particular problem is directly
related to the impact of other
subject areas.
One year-long course, entitled
"Man in the Twentieth
Century," is based on this
principle, and is required of all
freshman. A team of eight
professors drawn from several
different fields of study
EDITORSHIP

now accepting applications

manager of The Guilfordian

membership on the
Publication Board for both
students and faculty is open
and application should now
be made. Applications should
be made within ten days to
The Guilfordian office in Cox
Hall or to any member of the
Publications Board.

(including biology, geology,
history, philosophy, political
science, psychology, religion,
and sociology) are responsible
for weekly lectures and
discussion sections.
The course deals with a
number fundamental moral,
psychological, social, political,
religious, and environmental
problems which face and
challenge modern man.
The joint task of students and
teachers is to make the
educational experience an
investigation into the human
condition, thereby producing
greater understanding of
mankind in general and of self in
particular.
They hope to gain an
understanding of the intricacy of
the patterns and
lationships which govern man's
relations to other humans, as
well as those which relate to the
knowledge process itself.
The theme in the fall
semester of "Man in the
Twentieth Century" is
"Individual Identity and the
Persona! Search for Meaning."
The theme in the spring
semester is "Self in the Larger
Sociocultural and Natural
Environments: A Convergence."
The "problems" emphasis
stimulates students to develop
some enduring interest and
broad concern about man which
will give meaning and direction
to the remainder of their studies.
The traditional academic
disciplines, that is, are seen in
the context of their engagement
in these contemporary issues,
and take on increased interest
and pertinence to students.
Every student will have
opportunity for independent
study in the senior year if he so
chooses. Those students who are
mature, highly motivated, and
capable of self-direction, can be
Friday, April 25, 1969
approved to pursue their studies
during the junior and senior
years on a semi-independent
basis under the general
supervision of major professors.
This option, termed Curriculum
11, should prove highly attractive
to certain well-qualified students
from excellent preparatory and
secondary schools.
The importance of historical
studies is also emphasized in the
new curriculum. At Guilford we
are firmly convinced that the
present cannot be fully
understood apart from its roots
in the past, and that the ideas of
a Plato and an Aristotle, a
Leonardo and a Dante, of Christ
and the nearly twenty centuries
of the Christian tradition are of
very great relevance to our lives
today. Our job, stated simply, is
to help students to come to this
realization.
