RELEVANCE AND HIGHER EDUCATION EDITED BY WALTER D. WEIR NATIONAL COLLEGIATE HONORS COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS, ANNUAL MEETING, 1968
Abstract
The papers in this volume were presented at the third annual meeting of the National Collegiate Honors Council at the Olympic Hotel in Seattle, Washington, October 18-20, 1968. The papers indicate our focus on the problems of the relevance of curricula to learning and the relevance of higher education to the world. Black and white students alike urged us to make our programs, our curricula, and our concerns more relevant to the moral and social issues of our time, more relevant to a truly liberal education.
