Biographical / Historical
A group of no more than 14 freshmen met regularly with an instructor to explore a coherent topic of study. The course is designed to be inter-disciplinary in its approach, rather than to provide a formal introduction to a particular department. These seminars are intended to provide an opportunity for exploration, presentation, and learning across traditional departmental boundaries as well as to help students develop speaking and writing skills. The Freshman Seminar Program began in 1969; it floundered because it was not a priority for faculty and had no political or financial clout.
