The University is privately endowed and affiliated with the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina; it is dedicated to the service of humanity. Its present rank among the best of the small private universities is the result of long and dedicated effort by hundreds of friends, faculty, alumni, and generous benefactors. Wake Forest provides an atmosphere where students can pu rsue personal development to the maximum degree of individual capabilities. Proud of its heritage and circumspect in the responsi- ble use of freedom, Wake Forest is eager to encourage the spirit of free inquiry. It seeks faculty and administrators who have a commitment to the search for knowledge, who have an awareness of their own responsibilities as useful citizens in a free society, and who have a sense of obligation to the students who will be leaders of tomorrow. It invites applicants who are willing to accept the challenge of new ideas and those with a commitment to education as the means of achieving their own personal development and of helping to solve the perplexing problems of our increasingly complex soci- ety. It seeks students who are intellectually equipped to participate in a community of scholars and who find satisfaction in the life of the mind. It believes that all students should know something of the physi- cal world and the scientific method by which data are gathered, verified and organized; that they should be knowledgeable about the societal relationships which make upthe adult world; thatthey must cultivate the heritage of the past and be concerned about their spiritual, moral and physical development; and that as graduates they should be able to communicate effectively in all areas with their fellowmen. It instills in men and women a sense of the dignity and worth of the individual, a love of freedom, an awareness of the continuity and interrelationships of human society, and a sense of responsi- INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES bility toward others. Its graduates have achieved distinction as minsters, teachers, lawyers, physicians, business people, jour- nalists and in a host of other occupations. Recognizing the importance of providing students with an op- portunity to enrich their undergraduate experience through study in other cultures, Wake Forest has instituted programs in France, India, Italy and Spain. These programs are supervised on a rotating basis by several academic departments and therefore vary from time to time.
