PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) -- Reports Descriptive (141) Reports Research/Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF°1/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Academically Gifted; *College Curriculum; Counselor Attitudes; *Departments; Educational Benefits; Educational History; Higher Education; *Honors Curriculum; Program Descriptions;, *State Universities; Student Attitudes; Student Characteristics; Teacher Attitudes IDENTIFIERS *University of Maryland College Park ABSTRACT The history and current status of honors programs at Ai.;: University of Maryland, College Park, are discussed, with some reference to special recent programming for gifted students. The following historical developments are covered: honors programs at Columbia College in the early 1900s, the idea of honors as a separate upper division program at Swarthmore College; and St. John's College's Great Books curriculum, which has similarities with honors programs. Honors programs were established at the University of Maryland during the 1950s and 1960s, and the earliest programs were conducted by departments. The environment during President Elkins' administration was av, impetus for the honors program. The current impact of the University of Maryland's honors-programs on the university and the general population was evaluated, based on a survey of public and private high school counselors, honors program faculty, students in departmental honors and, general honors programs, and students not in an honors program. Survey results ,for each of these groups are presented in detail, and an ethnographic analysis of the general honors program is presented.

In addition to the circulated Agenda: Iain Laxon, CEO of Auckland Cricket, will be attending our AGM and, as he has done so willingly in the past, will update us on Auckland Cricket matters.
