Proceedings of the Second Annual Meeting of the NATIONAL COLLEGIATE HONORS COUNCIL. Washington, D.C. October 20-22, 1967. Edited by WALTER D. WEIR, Executive Secretary-Treasurer
Abstract
The National Collegiate Honors Council conducted its second annual meeting at the Statler-Hilton Hotel, Washington, D.C., October 20-22, 1967. About 230 faculty members, administrators, and students attended this meeting. The proceedings of that meeting are contained in this volume. The meeting was basically devoted to three concerns: (1) the problem of liaison between secondary schools and college honors programs; (2) problems and developments in the offering of science courses for honors students; (3) the exchange of information about problems and new directions in the honors program of those participating in the meeting. For the most part, the papers in this volume reflect these concerns. As our institutions continue to grow and confront student and society unrest, our honors programs and the NCHC should continue to provide educational leadership. It is our hope that the Proceedings, other publications of the NCHC, and our annual meetings will contribute to a greater awareness of the crucial problems facing our institutions of higher learning and our nation. The lessons we learn in our honors experience should hopefully influence the entire college environment. Over 200 colleges and universities are now members of the NCHC.
