gift of $250,000 from the

The Carolina Steel Corp.,
through its chairman, N.P.

the college $15,000.
The WFMY Television Corp.,
of which William A. Gietz is
president and general manager,
has pledged $12,500.
Another $12,500 was the
combined gift pledge of the
Greensboro Daily News and The
Greensboro Record through
Peter B. Bush, president of the
Greensboro News Company.
Home Federal Savings and
Loan donated $3,000 through
its president, Ralph P. Edwards.
Dr. Hobbs said the gift from
Home Federal was made
specifically to help Guilford
meet the Dana challenge gift.
Gifts from the four other firms
were unrestricted, and the
Guilford College Board of
Trustees voted to apply them to
the campaign, he explained.
Dr. Hobbs pointed out that
the $250,000 Dana challenge

Guilford must raise additionally

Founders Hall was the first
building at New Garden
Boarding School, to become
Guilford College in 1888. It was
erected in 1837, and it was
constructed literally by
members of the boarding
school's first board of trustees
and other education-minded
citizens of the community.
The men used handmade
sun-dried bricks in the
construction until it became
apparent that the building would
not be ready for the announced
opening date.

Doing What
Comes Naturally
PLAINFIELD, Vt. (CPS) -
Long considered a maverick
among institutions of higher
education, Goddard College, a
small, private school in the
woodlands of north-central
Vermont, has given notice that it
still has no intention of
submitting to the branding iron
of conventionality. Effective
September, 1972, the entire
faculty will resign their roles as
"teachers" for the new positions
of "master learners" or
"professional craftsmen." The
emphasis for everyone on
campus will be one of simply
learning.
The move rests upon the
assumption that learning is
essentially a self-oriented
activity and forms the core for a
three year college-wide
experiment upon this issue.
Correspondingly, the experiment
questions the assumptions that
teaching is either possible or
desirable, necessary or useful.
Faculty members, it has long
been observed, find that they
learn from students as often as
vice versa. The experiment seeks
to capitalize upon this common
ability to learn by replacing
traditional "learning from"
situations with those oriented

towards "learning with."
Consequently, those now termed
"students" will be recogized as
"amateur learners" or
"apprentice craftsmen."
The idea for the experiment
is contained, in part, in these
words of Carl Rogers: "I have
come to feel that the only
learning which significantly
influences behavior is
self-discovered, self-appropriated
learning. Such self-discovered
learning, truth that has been
personally appropriated and
assimilated in experience, cannot
be directly communicated to
another."
Traditional teaching, Rogers
argues, "seems to cause the
individual to distrust his own
experience, and to stifle
significant learning." Describing
the outcome of teaching as
either "unimportant" or
"hurtful", Rogers concludes, "1
realize that I am only interested
in being a learner, preferably
learning things that matter, that
have some significant influence
on my behavior."
Every form of activity in the
Goddard community, be it class
course, independent study or
field project, is to have a portion
of time reserved and specifically
devoted to discussion, analysis
and evaluation of what is being
learned, how and why. Weekly,
monthly and yearly evaluations
will develop out of these smaller
sessions in order to clarify a
larger perspective on the
experiment.
Finally, in 1975, a
"culminating study" will be
prepared for publication. By
that time the college should be
in a position to answer, with
documentary evidence of three
year's experience, the question
of whether the role of "teacher"
is necessary for such learning as
occurs at the college level.
