discussions with faculty menbers.
Outside evaluator saw this senior symposium as a culmnination of the college's
strong conmitment to liberal educaticn. Program challenged faculty to risk
experimentaicn in unfamiliar fields. Program stuck to its belief that the big
ideas are best gotten at throogh the "great Books," and it prevailed.
