The W. K. Kellogg Foun
dation of Battle Creek, Mich.,
has announced a grant of
399,847 to Mars Hill College to
help finance a bold new
venture in the college's total
academic program.
The money will be used in a
40-nionth faculty development
plan to improve instructional
skills and to assist in the
implementation of a competency-based
curriculum.
Dr. Richard Hoffman, vice
president for academic af
fairs, who guided a large team
of faculty memeber and ad
ministrators in formulating
the proposal which resulted in
the grant, was slated by the
news that the trustees of the
foundation had approved the
gift.
"This grant will enable
Mars HiU College to take the
next natural step in its con
tinuing pursuit of excellence,"
he said. "The various in
novations through which the
college has gone m recent
years have been logical and
necessary forerunners of our
movement toward a
curriculum based on com
petencies "
Such a curriculum is a
comparatively new and
promising development in
higher education More and
more colleges and universities
are experimenting with it and
considering it as a means of
improving teaching and
learning
Under a competency-based
curriculum a school identifies
certain educational skill and

psychological development of
the student. It then tests the
student to determine his
present levels and develop
ment and helps him formulate
a series of alternative lear
ning experiences which will
help him reach the desired
competencies.
A competency-based
curriculum is in contrast to
the traditional approach in
which the institution assumes
that a student has achieved
these skill and knowledge
competencies because he has
completed certain courses
with an acceptable final
grade.
A curriculum based on
competency emphasizes the
accountability of the in
stitution for the progress of its
students. Not all students
leam in the same manner;
neither do all students have
the same capacity for lear
ning A competency-based
curriculum takes these dif
ferences into account; and, as
a result, exposes different
students to different ex
periences according to their
individual learning styles. At
the same time, such a
curriculum strives to assist
each student in the fullest
possible development of his or
her potentials, whatever they
may be.

such an innovative program
will require special training
for the Mars Hill faculty. The
Kellogg grant will help
provide this training by
financing in-service
workshops and by making
release-time possible for
faculty members in order that
they might prepare them
selves to function effectively
in a competency-based
curricular program.
The grant also will help
provide professional con

costs of an orientation
program to familiarize the
students with the

Grant
Mars Hill, the foundation'!
vice president for programs,
Robert E. Kinsinger, said the
college "has the potential for
pioneering a new faculty
development program of
significance to many small
colleges." He added, "...the
foundation will follow your
progress with interest and
wishes you great success in
carrying out this important
endeavor.
From its own resources and
or from other sources, Mara
Hill will contribute 1114,267 to
the venture over the next 40
months a grand total of
$214,114 available for the
experiment.
Dr. Fred Bentley, president
of the 117-year-old Baptist
college, hailed the grant as a
compliment and added
responsibility on the faculty.
"For the trustees of a great
foundation such as Kellogg to
recognize the merits of our
proposals and to endorse it
with such a generous grant is
a distinct compliment to the
college, eipecially to the
faculty and academic ad
ministrators who planned it
and must carry it out," he
said.
"At the same time," he
added, "we realize that this
expression of trust calls for
wisdom and dedication on our
part; but we welcome the
responsibility. We have said
for years that we are
dedicated to excellence in
teaching, and I believe this
bold experiment is fresh
evidence of this dedication."

W. EDGAR GIFT of Kingiport, Tenn. (left) and Dr.
Fred Bentley, president of Mars Hill College,
examine several volumes of back issues of the
famed National Geographic Magazine, which Gift
and his wife presented to the college library
recently. The volumes contain issues of the years
1919-1926 and 1931-32. The college already had a
collection of the magazine extending back to 1921, but
the Gifts 's contribtuion extended it back two more
years and provided several duplicates. "We are
especially happy to receive this gift," said Librarian
Jim Wyatt. "This periodical is one of the outstanding
publications in the United States. Its value is not
measured in dollars but in excellence of format and
photography and in accuracy in reporting detail.
Mr. Gift included a check for $100 with the back
issues to aid the college library in binding, restoring
and preserving the entire collection. (College photo
