There is much publicity about grades being higher today than in the past. This development results from several factors. One is an increasing awareness by faculty of the personal needs of students. As a consequence, faculty do provide learning situations in which there is greater empha• sis on learning being attained than on the devising of exami• nations which trap students and result automatically in some normal curve of distribution.

8 The Present Shape Of the Academic Program At Dickinson

by Truman Bullard

The following remarks were made by Dr. Bullard to a gathering of new faculty members on August 31. Dr. Bullard is an Associate Professor of Music and Chairman of the College Committee on Academic Program. He first came to the Dickinson faculty in 1965 and received the 1970-71 Lindback Award for Dis• tinguished Teaching.

When Dr. Rubendall became the President of Dickinson College in 1961, one of his first steps, upon the advice of our colleagues, was to call for a sweeping and detailed review of the curriculum with the intention of strengthening the structure and content of the academic program. In 1963 the famous Allen berry Conference was held, and the faculty adopted a series of resolutions which essentially revitalized and rejuvenated the educational offerings of the college. At this historic moment every learning experience encountered by the Dickinson student had been analyzed and was set forth anew with the single hope of creating a superb liberal arts curriculum and co-curriculum. Those of us who have come to Dickinson in recent years have learned to respect and admire the integrity and dura• bility of the decisions taken at the Allenberry Conference. The structure and content of the Dickinson curriculum is perhaps the single most important factor in encouraging new faculty to come to Dickinson College. For me it was the decisive factor. The last decade has seen growth and evolution in the aca• demic life of the college, stimulated by an enthusiastic pres• ident, implemented by two earnest deans of the college, Deans Magill and Wanner, and carried forth by a faculty encouraged and inspired to build departmental curricula in the best tradition of American liberal arts colleges. Fundamental to the academic program at Dickinson is the belief that the liberally educated student must be offered experiences in breadth and depth, and that as he or she ma• tures, the form and content of courses must offer ever widening intellectual horizons and at the same time increase 9 the student's opportunities for personal choice and appro• ciology Department, on the other hand, suggests two specif• priation.

John C. Pflaum Lectureship

For the past few months former students, as well as Dickinson friends and colleagues, have been contributing to the John C. Pflaum Lectureship of Dickinson College. This fund, named in April, is to honor Professor Pflaum's retirement from active teaching at Dickinson and will provide lecturers from time to time to come to Dickinson to talk on the various topics which represent Professor Pflaum's most avid interests. The first of this series was delivered by Warren W. Hassler, Jr., Pennsylvania State University, on George B. McClellan, noted Union General during the Civil War. Times and dates of future lectures will be announced.
