LIV MARCH, 1959 No. I Issued Quarterly: Admitted as Second~la'SS Matter at Winter Park, Florida Post Office, under Act of Congress of July, 1894. / Rollins College Bulletin WINTER PARK, FLORIDA A FIRST GLANCE AT ROLL IN S HISTORICAL BACK.GROUND ROLLINS was founded seventy-four years ago under the aus pices of the Congregational Churches; it has maintained the spiritual ideals of its early heritage, even though it has always been an independent college open to all denominations and supported by the generosity of its many friends. It is the oldest institution of higher education in Florida. ACCREDITATION ROLLINS is an undergraduate, coeducational, college of liber al arts and sciences, offering the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Music. It is accredited by and a member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the National Association of Schools of Music. It is also a member of the Association of American Colleges, the American Council on Education, the Florida Association of Colleges and Universities, and the College En trance Examination Board-presently the only member Col lege in Florida. It is a fully accredited institution of higher education. STUDENTS ROLLINS is a national college drawing students from all parts of the country: In addition to Florida, the New England, Middle Atlantic, broad Middle-West, and Southern areas fur nish the largest numbers, but most other areas are repre sented. A number of foreign countries are also represented. Rollins students are friendly, cosmopolitan and interested in world problems. The College is small by design, following the policy of a limited enrollment. Presently the enrollment is about seven hundred. Applicants for admission are se lected on the basis of ability, character, and potential quali ties of leadership, as well as on a strong secondary school record. Scholarship help and work-aid are available for stu dents of proven ability who face economic problems. All ap plicants must take the College Entrance Examination. FACULTY SCHOLARSHIP and sound academic training are essential to _a faculty but are not alone sufficient to assure a fine teaching 2 COLLEGE job. Creative imagination, vital interest in effective teaching,. including the ability to lead students to do and think for themselves, are elements sought in a Rollins teacher. The ratio of faculty to students is one to ten. This means that in the upper years classes will be small. In the lower years some may be as large as thirty. The average is sixteen. PROGRAM THE ACADEMIC PROGRAM of the College is centered in the· basic liberal arts and sciences. The educational plan grows from the conviction that the finest education for any student is that which he is led to get for himself, rather than that which is handed to him. The basic liberal arts are taught in reasonably small classes where students may enter into vigor ous, thoughtful discussion, if the subject lends itself to such method. This provides fine preparation for the professions, graduate study, business, responsible living, and responsible leadership. ACTIVITIES ROLLINS, through its student government, its numerous aca-· demic, social, and athletic organizations, and its location in the cultural center of Winter Park, has a wide range of whole some activities. The many student organizations, providing training in leadership and the art of human relations, are· supplemented by intramural and intercollegiate athletic teams. Rollins competes in intercollegiate baseball, basketball, crew, golf, soccer, and tennis. It has chapters of several national fraternities and sororities, which are housed on the campus .. SUPPORT THE COLLEGE is proud of its independence and grateful to its. many friends who have continued to make this independence possible through their generous contributions and their under-· standing of the unique job Rollins is attempting. No college's. endowment is ever sufficient for the ambitious job it is tryin~ to do. Even so, the Rollins endowment has more than dou-· bled in the past few years and is now four million dollars ex-· elusive of plant. 3 THE ROLLINS CALENDAR ~ 1959-60 FALL TERM SEPTEMBER 29, Tuesday ............
