On the College Frontier: The Rollins Idea

To make the process of learning as vital to young people as the quest for a news story is to a good reporter, or as intensively gripping as football to the members of the college team, is the Rollins idea of education. It is not a new idea. Every real teacher since time began has had the same desire. It is only the method of achieving the end which is different at Rollins College. At Rollins it is believed that the individual student's growth and development are the all-important things, and that to justify itself every course, by its subject matter and manner of-being taught must deepen and broaden the student's understanding of life and enable him to adjust himself more quickly and more effectively to the world in which he lives.
