The college will never be a major research insti­ tution, nor should it be. Students' education, not fac­ ulty projects, should be the focus of the college, and this program allows just that. Humanities and Sciences students can apply for grants of up to·$1,000 to support course-related re­ search, collaborative research between students and faculty and students' independent projects. Already such research is going on within the sciences as faculty members involve students in studies covering everything from elephant commu­ nications to bird migrations. Much of that re·search, however, is funded through outside resources. Now the college has recognized the.value of adding a re­ search component to an ~dergraduate education and allowing that research to be driven not by faculty interest, but by student curiosity.
