honor tracts ana other special
opportunities.
But Mother M. Majella, pres
ident Of Marymount. believes
there is a big reservoir Of un-
tapped scholarship in students
who haven't exactly set the
world afire with their classroom
performances.
Before she came to Mary
mount in 1857, she had heard
glowing reports from summe,
scholarship students returning
from oxford University about
the lecture and tutorial methods
there. A teacher in New York
who experimental with those
methods told Mother Majells
he thought the poorer students
gained more than the brighter
ones.
Convinced that many stu
dents were not exerting them
selves to the level Of their
abilities. Mother Majella in the
1957-58 school year began to
test a seminar. or group tu-
torial. approach based on the
oxford system.
This year, with enrichment
of the contents of the basic
liberal arts courses, a full
fledged experimental program
began with the help of a grant
from the United States Office
Of Education.
The honors approach and
seminar method apply to all
the girls in the junior college,
whether their past showings
are good or Indifferent, and
whether or not they plan to
go on to a senior college.
Under the system, the stu
dents have two weekly lectures
in groups of about so in Eng
lish. philosophy and history
For a third session, they break
up into groups Of a dozen OF
so for a tutored discussion.
Marymount, with its spa
cious. home-like setting on an
old Virginia estate. is well
suited for the small informal
seminars in the student lounges
around the open fireplace.
Language teaching is enriched
by supervised laboratory prac-
tice. In biological and physical
sciences, three weekly lectures
are supplemented by two-hour
laboratory periods for groups OF
Evening star., 1961-12-17

Is. In mathematics, there are
two periods a week Of working
with a teacher on solving
problems.
Developmental reading is in
cluded, and a summer inde-
pendent reading assignment for
credit has been tested on a
voluntary basis and may become
a regular part Of the program.
All students have speech train
ing in groups Of 25.
Students put in no more
scheduled time than they would
under an ordinary system, but
they find themselves working
harder than under the usual
class session, in which every
student wouldn't be called on
to recite.
Small. flexible groups permit
the instructor to tap specific
interests of students as Jump
ing off points" for deeper ex-
ploration of central concepts
and methods.
The student who is inclined
to sit back in a regular class
and never speak up is more on
the spot in the oral discussion
OF a small group. This requires
him to prepare ahead, develops
his confidence and ease of ex-
preston and encourages think
ing. the college finds.
1t hopes that the program
will eliminate much of the
educational waste" that re-
suits when a student for one
reason or another has not done
her best in high school and has
become accustomed to being a
borderline student.
Under the usual system
Mother Majella says, the top
10 per cent of students have all
the opportunity with scholar
ships. fellowships. honors and
leadership geared to superior
students.
I'VE feel that if others get
a taste of real scholarship and
a taste of achieving, many will
become very good scholars" she
says.
The college already has had
examples of students showing
dramatic improvement and de-
veloping new interest in their
studies.
"I've noticed it in the IL
brary," Mother Majella reports.
Its very busy in there now"
