Liberally educated persons, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John’s College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great books — texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures — because they are both timeless and timely. These books are the most important teachers. They illuminate the persisting questions of human existence and they bear directly on the problems we face today. They express most originally, and often most perfectly, the ideas by which contemporary life is knowingly or unknowingly governed. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not of merely academic concern, nor is it remote from our true interests. They change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human questions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treatises, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for 6 The Introduction �each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other, and they draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. This conversation, however, is unavoidably one sided. The books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To overcome this limitation is the goal of the St. John’s seminar. Here a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, attempt to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing to submit their opinions to one another’s questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. It may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are — to help students gain understanding and make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they face. And it is the ultimate aim of the Program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John’s takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John’s seeks to restore the true meaning of liberal education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic — the arts of language; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy — the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experimentation, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. They all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely and critically for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to know the world around them and to know themselves in this world, and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the constraint of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. The aim of the education offered by St. John’s College is the liberation of the human intellect. This is an education for all, regardless of a person’s race, ethnicity, sex, religious beliefs, country of origin, economic background, age, disability or sexual orientation. By reading great books and struggling together with the fundamental questions that they raise, students and their teachers learn from their differences and discover more deeply their shared humanity. In this and other ways, a diversity of background and experience enriches our community of learning. Because it offers an education for all, St. John’s College has sought and continues to seek to make its program of study known and available to people of diverse backgrounds. The Introduction 7 �THE CURRICULUM The Seminar The heart of the curriculum is the seminar—a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar 17 to 21 students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, for two hours — sometimes longer if the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around 80 pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. The seminar begins with a question asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists mostly of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not just to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at will. The resulting informality is tempered by the use of formal modes of address. Once under way, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and aggression and to bring to the surface the students’ opinions and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity’s ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading, but bear only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the Coffee Shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument — an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and trying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn that to some extent the procedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy, and it can require a different approach. Such progress in learning together may be crowned by sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of “following the argument,” of facing the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question remains open but with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the “right” opinion or interpretation. It is 8 The Curriculum �subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer them. Students may suggest a topic and invite a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the Program, some preceptorials may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more than 10 students in a preceptorial. Guided by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by the seminar. Usually, the students’ work is completed by some form of written work, either a formal paper or a presentation to the class. Listed below are some of the preceptorial subjects offered on the two campuses in recent years. to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections and to help the students in every way possible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question “Why?” But the leaders may also take a definite and positive stand and enter directly into the argument. If they do so, however, they can expect no special consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. Consequently, all opinions must be defended with reason, and any single opinion can prevail only by general consent. The aim is always to develop the students’ powers of reason and understanding and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, sophomore, and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes a major part of the process called enabling (see page 28). THE PRECEPTORIAL For seven to eight weeks at the end of the first semester, seminars of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually given a choice of 25 to 30 preceptorials on books or Heidegger: Being and Time Design and Expression in the Visual Arts Joyce: Ulysses Saussure: Course in General Linguistics Readings in Lao Tsu and Confucius Aristotle: Metaphysics Darwin: Natural Selection Plato: Republic Marquez: One Hundred Years of Solitude Galileo: Dialogues on the Two Chief World Systems Shakespeare: Selected Plays Metaphysical Poets Bosch and Bruegel Kant: Critique of Judgment Hobbes: Leviathan Augustine: City of God Austen: Selected Novels Faraday: Experimental Researches in Electricity and Magnetism Ethical Problems in Medicine Thucydides: The Peloponnesian War The Curriculum 9 �THE TUTORIALS The seminar cannot suffice as the only setting for liberal education. By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and writing. Other learning experiences must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, seated around a table, 13 to 16 students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to work together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstration, of an important work. As in the seminar, students talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and insight to one another. Other tutors occasionally attend, seeking to learn about a particular subject that they may later teach. Writing is assigned regularly in all classes: mathematics, music, and laboratory sections, as well as in language tutorials. The students are thus called upon continually to articulate and organize their thinking in both the written and spoken forms. The Language Tutorial Specialization in higher education has led to a profound neglect of language skills. As country is separated from country by the barrier of language, so profession is separated from profession by technical jargon. Primarily, the language tutorial attempts to remedy this condition by training in the means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and ambiguities of terms; to the role of metaphors, analogies, and images; and to the logical relations that connect propositions. 10 The Curriculum The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years; French in the third and fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the students learn something of the nature of languages in general and of their own in particular. During the four years, then, they study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, they study their own language. They discover the resources of articulate speech and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent, and effective — if it is to be adequate and persuasive. In the beginning, the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language being studied. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one that is concerned with particular details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work. Those are matters that do not come directly into seminar discussions. The students’ concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign language, but the students can reasonably expect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they study. To experience the individuality of another language is to extend the boundaries of one’s sensibility. �The choice of foreign languages is in part dictated by the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary. Latin and German might be used without changing the pattern and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes well with the freshman seminar and mathematics tutorial, and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of the first. The second year ends with analysis and discussion of works by Shakespeare, Donne, and other English poets. The French of the third year begins with a brief, intensive study of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading of simple French. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form and content are related to appropriate writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of their models. In the second semester a play is read — usually Racine’s Phèdre. The principal activity of the fourth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal. Its immediate object is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of language. Writing assignments include exercises in transla- tion more ambitious than those attempted in the third year. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Robert Frost, W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. The Mathematics Tutorial Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested by the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning “to learn.” It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathematical. It is equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John’s is studied as a liberal art, not artificially separated from what have come to be called the humanities. When mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for their elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John’s, mathematics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal art but also one that provides ready access to others and significant analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studying mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines it. Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarity The Curriculum 11 �Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? What is the relation of logic to mathematics? What do “better” and “worse,” “ugly” and “beautiful” signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are there “mathematical objects”? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. with the mathematical methods by which it is managed, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their application. It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to help students to think about what it means to count and measure things in the universe. The second main reason for studying mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically. Since mathematics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human capacity for learning, its study is especially useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know something. To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: 12 The Curriculum The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid’s organization of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects — its central expression found in the theory of ratios — which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy’s Almagest, centering their attention on the problem of “hypotheses” constructed to “save the appearances” in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between the mathematics tutorial at St. John’s and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: his work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study Copernicus’ transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into heliocentric form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an understanding of algebra as the “analytic art” in general. �In the third year, students study calculus analytically in its modern form, originally in Leibniz’s work, and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. In the second semester, students take up Newton’s treatment of astronomy in the Principia, in which he brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomy with a “dynamic” theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The year concludes with an examination of Dedekind’s theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski’s approach to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature of the geometric art as a whole. Seniors also study Einstein’s special theory of relativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. The Music Tutorial One of the aims of the St. John’s Program has been to restore music as part of the liberal arts curriculum. The study of music at St. John’s is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind’s power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the ratios among whole numbers. In particular, the music program at St. John’s aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year, students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place primarily by singing, and by the second semester the students perform some of the great choral works. In the sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides continuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoric, and poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial includes an investigation of rhythm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the diatonic system, a study of the ratios of musical intervals, and a consideration of melody, counterpoint, and harmony. None of these are done apart from the sounding reality of good music. The inventions of Bach, the songs of Schubert, the masses of Palestrina, the St. Matthew Passion of Bach, the operas of Mozart, and the instrumental works of Beethoven are the real teachers. In the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. The Curriculum 13 �THE LABORATORY Three hundred years ago, algebra and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by René Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, politics, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the St. John’s Program and one that the college takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last two years of the Program exhibit the farreaching changes that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period from Homer to Descartes. Modern mathematics has made possible the exploration of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast project of study conceived by the great thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. St. John’s has a three-year laboratory in the natural sciences. In the laboratory, students pursue characteristic and related topics in physics, biology, and chemistry. The art of measurement involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measurement; in practica, students reproduce crucial experiments; and, throughout, the interplay of hypothesis, theory, and fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is supported by the mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques. The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research. It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills. The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the humanities, as if they were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. Different fields of exploration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems from sources common to all intellectual life. 14 The Curriculum The Organization of the Laboratory Work The laboratory program is largely determined by three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the study of science: (1) The formally scheduled experimental work must be combined with a full and free discussion of the instruments and principles involved in it. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific discipline to its roots in principle, assumption, and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters are selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (3) The schedule of laboratory work should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation. The students must have time to satisfy themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can they come to a mature understanding of the sciences called “exact.” A laboratory section consists of 14 to 16 students working under the guidance of a tutor, with the help of more advanced students serving as assistants. Sections meet two or three times a week. A laboratory session may be used for exposition and discussion of theory, for experimentation, or for both, as the progress of the work requires. In most cases, the basis for discussion is a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Harvey, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. �Laboratory Topics 3rd Year Topics in physics: mechanics, optics, heat, electricity, magnetism The general topics of study have been chosen from elementary physical and biological sciences. The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: 4th Year 1st Year 12 weeks: Observational biology 20 weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry 10 weeks: Quantum physics 18 weeks: Genetics, evolution, molecular biology The Curriculum 15 �The First Year The laboratory begins with 12 weeks devoted to topics in observational biology: classification of types, anatomical structure, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, and embryological development. Close observation by the naked eye or with microscopes is accompanied by constant theoretical interpretation, based on reading important works of biological scientists. Here the student confronts organisms as self-moving entities with properties of wholeness, intimately dependent on, yet distinct from, the surrounding world. The freshman laboratory next turns to the nonliving in a search for fundamental laws. Archimedes on the lever and on hydrostatics is studied, then the laws of equilibrium of gases, temperature, and calorimetry are taken up, experimentally and in discussion of the relevant theories. These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the theory that matter is composed of discrete particles. The student compares the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance and substantial change, and goes on to study and discuss important original texts bearing on the development of the atomic-molecular theory. Experiments are performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the physical and chemical transformation of which they speak. The year’s work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this determination. The Third Year The third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional divisions of physics, such as mechanics, optics, and electromagnetism. Throughout the year, experimentation is accompanied by the reading of important original writings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, and Maxwell. The mathematical tools of physics are to be put to work in the laboratory at the same time that their rigorous development is pursued in the mathematics tutorials. As the tools of the calculus become available, the emphasis shifts from a direct, qualitative description of force, acceleration, work, energy, and potential fields to their reformulation in terms of derivative and integral; at the same time, the physical concepts serve to illustrate the mathematical ideas. The concepts 16 The Curriculum of mechanics are to be used to formulate alternative theories of light — corpuscular and wave — and the success of either theory in accounting for optical phenomena is examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell’s derivation of an electromagnetic theory of light. The Fourth Year In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first semester, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism — but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrödinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. The laboratory program ends as it began — with a study of living organisms. In the spring of the senior year, students finally confront the evidence and arguments for their modern views of evolution and genetics. The semester begins with Darwin and Mendel, proceeds to a synthesis, and then traces developments in cellular and molecular biology which are thought to undergird this synthesis, as presented in seminal papers by twentieth-century biologists. In addition, this work raises questions about whether there is purpose in nature, whether there are natural kinds, what distinquishes living from non-living, whether living things have a wholeness, and if so, what is responsible for it. �THE FORMAL LECTURE The curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar, tutorial, or laboratory readings, or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students’ readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John’s faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: it inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability of what they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials. The Curriculum 17 �Lectures and Concerts The following list provides some examples of lectures and concerts given on one or the other campus in recent years: “Reading, Writing, Listening, Talking” Eva Brann “Quantum Phenomena” Mark Rollins Bill Charlap Jazz Trio “Wordsworth and Keats” Ronald Sharp “On Reading the U.S. Constitution as a Great Book” William Braithwaite “T.S.

JOHN’S LIST OF GREAT BOOKS The list of books that serves as the core of the curriculum had its beginnings at Columbia College, at the University of Chicago, and at the University of Virginia. Since 1937, it has been under continuous review at St. John’s College. The distribution of the books over the four years is significant. More than 2,000 years of intellectual history form the background of the first two years; about 300 years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. the reading into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understanding of the liberal arts; the second year ranges from the Hebrew Bible to the sixteenth-century seeds of modernity; the third year has books of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most of which were written in modern languages; the fourth year brings The list of books that constitute the core of the St. John’s Program is subject to yearly review by the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Those listed here are read at one or both campuses, although not always in their entirety. Books read in seminar are indicated by an asterisk. The chronological order in which the books are read is primarily a matter of convenience and intelligibility; it does not imply a historical approach to the subject matter. The St. John’s curriculum seeks to convey to students an understanding of the fundamental problems that human beings have to face today and at all times. It invites them to reflect both on their continuities and their discontinuities.

The title “professor” is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying the text that is the principal teacher of the class — it might be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wrote from the high point of their learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the tutors is to question, to listen, and to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration, or explanation, but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to help themselves. In order that conversations at St. John’s will not be limited to what fits neatly inside a single discipline, it is essential that St. John’s tutors re-educate themselves to acquire increased understanding in those parts of the Program that are outside their field of post-graduate training. For example, tutors with advanced degrees in mathematics would prepare themselves to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage of this for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not avert their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John’s Program. 24 The Academic Order This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the Program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and they are continually teaching their colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John’s than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up. Leaders of such groups are sometimes relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by themselves or the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John’s curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John’s. �The Instruction Committee The Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the presidents on appointments to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and 12 tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year. The full committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those annual meetings. The Library The library exists to support the academic program as well as the teaching and learning that occur in a variety of ways at St. John’s College. The books chosen for study at St. John’s form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes serving as secondary sources and representative works in the major fields of learning. The libraries on the two campuses have a total collection of over 180,000 items, including works in various languages and many diverse subject areas, with a concentration in the sciences and humanities. The library also collects periodicals and newspapers, audiovisual materials, audio recordings of faculty and Friday night lectures, faculty publications, and student prize essays. Interlibrary Loan services enable current students, faculty, and staff to request books and journal articles that are not part of the library’s collection from libraries throughout the country. In all its activities, the library seeks to participate in the program of the college and reflect its philosophy of education. spaces with subtle natural light are available for reading and contemplation. The music library is housed apart in the Mellon building, and offers sound recordings and printed scores, all available for loan. The Faith and John Meem Library opened in Santa Fe in 1990. It offers a variety of study areas designed to accommodate up to half of the student body at a given time, including two 24-hour study rooms, and a music room with listening carrels and a collection of compact discs, records, and DVDs. Both libraries hold interesting special collections, including several hundred early or first editions of works read in the Program. Most of the materials included in the Greenfield Library archival and special collections, such as St. John’s College photographs, a collection of fine art slides, college publications and records, and instruction manuals used by the tutors throughout the years, are available in the library. Some of the notable special collections available in the Greenfield Library are the collected papers and correspondence of Jacob Klein and the collected papers and correspondence of Stringfellow Barr. In addition, the Greenfield Library has retained several of the original books from the Bray Collection, dating from 1696 and known as the “first public library in America,” and possesses the Prettyman Collection of Signed and Inscribed Books, some 800 titles of first editions signed by the authors. Some of the pre-1930 materials are housed at the Maryland State Archives. The Witter Bynner Collection and the Edgar Allen Poe Collection in Santa Fe contain first editions on each poet, as well as other “belles letters.” In addition, the Santa Fe library contains a faculty and alumni publications collection and the Holtzman Music Collection. The libraries also provide public terminals for accessing the online catalog, electronic resources, and the Internet. The libraries subscribe to several electronic academic databases including JSTOR, OCLC FirstSearch (ArticleFirst/WorldCat), Oxford English Dictionary, Philosopher’s Index, and the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae. These and other databases can be accessed in the libraries, dorms, or by any computer that connects to the St. John’s network. The Greenfield Library, in Annapolis, is housed in a beautifully restored historic building that was once the Maryland Hall of Records. Comfortably situated study The Academic Order 25 �Schedules Perhaps the most distinctive mark of St. John’s College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid’s Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles’ funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. 26 The Academic Order Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods of laboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-and-one-half hours to four-and-onehalf hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six hours each week in the laboratory. Each week there are two evening seminars, lasting two hours or more. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to 19 hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of 16 weeks each. �A Sample Freshman Schedule, Annapolis HOUR 9:00 – 10:10 a.m. M O N DAY T U E S DAY Language 10:20 – 11:30 a.m. W E D N E S DAY Language Mathematics 1:00 – 3:40 p.m. Laboratory 8:00 – 10:00 p.m. T H U R S DAY Language Mathematics Chorus Seminar F R I DAY Mathematics Laboratory Seminar Formal Lecture W E D N E S DAY T H U R S DAY F R I DAY Mathematics Mathematics A Sample Freshman Schedule, Santa Fe HOUR 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. M O N DAY Mathematics Music 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. T U E S DAY Language Laboratory Seminar Language Language Laboratory Seminar Formal Lecture ESSAYS AND EXAMINATIONS The Algebra Examination Annually in Annapolis and each semester in Santa Fe, all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors submit essays to their seminar leaders on some aspect of the liberal arts. These essays are based directly upon books in the Program. Before the second semester of their sophomore year, students must pass an examination in elementary algebra and trigonometry. Review sessions are offered. Oral Examinations Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are conducted for each student by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of their study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of their classes. For freshmen, the first oral examination of the year is given before the winter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin. The Final Essay and Oral Examination In the senior year, the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of the four years’ work. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at the start of the second semester are reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes. If the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined about it by the committee in an hour-long public examination. No degree is awarded unless both the essay and the oral examination are satisfactory. The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student’s learning. The Academic Order 27 �In the junior year, conferences replace some of the don rags. In conferences, students report on their own work, and then the tutors comment on that report. By the time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student’s work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. Letter Grades ACADEMIC STANDING Because St. John’s classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students’ progress from day to day. The tutors’ appraisals of a student are based on the student’s total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance, and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of ability and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John’s is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for grades. Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John’s, attendance at all regularly scheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. The Don Rag Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a semester, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors meet with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students’ work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors’ reports and comment on their own work. Advice may be requested and given; difficulties may be aired; but grades are not reported or discussed. 28 The Academic Order Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on request. The tutor’s comprehensive judgment of a student is reported to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, D or F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has stopped, the student is asked to leave the college. Sophomore Enabling Sophomore enabling is a review by the Instruction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of sophomores, of the student’s learning during the two years spent in the college. The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling procedure. Consequently, no students are enabled to enter the junior class unless they have written a satisfactory essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are sufficiently prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student writing an acceptable senior essay. �THE ST. JOHN’S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS The student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfactorily is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, and they spend their first summer completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John’s seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately 134 semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN’S • 9.4% choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreign service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ecology. Approximately 70% of our alumni pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with around 15% of each graduating class entering graduate and professional programs directly after St. Johns. Doctoral degrees earned by St. John’s alumni split about evenly between humanities and science/mathematics. Our students consistently score above the national average on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). The Career Services office on each campus assists students in planning for advanced study and in preparing their applications. In a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John’s alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John’s graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 21.9% are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • 18.8% are in communications or the arts; • 17.3% are in business or business-related occupations; • 9.7% work in the field of law, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 9.4% work in computers/sciences/mathematics; • 6.9% work in the health professions, mainly as physicians; • 6.6% work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry; The Academic Order 29 �THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION The Graduate Institute at St. John’s College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, inspired by that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or great books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from adults with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS The aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts degree (36 semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely integrated program of study. Classes are small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which 14 to 19 students engage in a discussion initiated by a tutor’s question about the assigned reading. In the 30 The Graduate Institute tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students focuses more intensively on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students, engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the 16-week fall and spring terms, and usually two to four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet five days a week and start earlier in the day. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master’s essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools. �THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM** Literature SEMINAR Homer: Iliad, Odyssey Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Libation Bearers, Eumenides Sophocles: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone Euripides: Hippolytus, Bacchae, Electra Aristophanes: Frogs TUTORIAL Chaucer: Canterbury Tales in Middle English* Shakespeare: King Lear Aristotle: Poetics Selected English lyric poetry Mathematics and Natural Science History SEMINAR Herodotus: Histories* Thucydides: Peloponnesian War* Livy: Early History of Rome* Polybius: Histories* Plutarch: “Caesar” and “Cato the Younger” Tacitus: Annals* Tocqueville: The Old Regime and the French Revolution* Plato: Timaeus* Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Aristotle: Physics* Ptolemy: Almagest* Galileo: Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems* Darwin: The Origin of Species* Freud: Selected Works SEMINAR TUTORIAL TUTORIAL Cervantes: Don Quixote Joyce: Ulysses Virgil: Aeneid Eliot: Middlemarch Dostoevski: The Brothers Karamazov Light: Aristotle, Descartes, Huygens, and Newton Lavoisier: Elements of Chemistry Maxwell: Theory of Heat Bacon and the Principles of Natural Philosophy Galileo: Two New Sciences Augustine: The City of God* Vico: The New Science* Kant: Idea of a Universal History Herder: Ideas Toward the Philosophy of the History of Mankind* Hegel: Philosophy of History* Marx: The German Ideology Nietzsche: Uses and Abuses of History for Life Dilthey: Introduction to the Human Sciences* Collingwood: The Idea of History* Strauss: Political Philosophy and History* Politics and Society Philosophy and Theology PRECEPTORIAL SEMINAR SEMINAR Plutarch: “Lycurgus” and “Solon” Plato: Republic Aristotle: Politics* Machiavelli: The Prince Locke: Second Treatise of Civil Government Rousseau: On the Origin and Foundations of Inequality Marx: The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844* Tocqueville: Democracy in America* Genesis Exodus Job Matthew Romans Augustine: Confessions* Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologica* Kant: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals Kierkegaard: Philosophical Fragments TUTORIAL TUTORIAL Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics* Thomas Aquinas: Treatise on Law* Hobbes: Leviathan* Declaration of Independence Articles of Confederation U.S. Constitution Hamilton, Jay, and Madison: The Federalist* Selected U.S. Supreme Court Decisions Plato: Meno Aristotle: Metaphysics* Descartes: Meditations Hume: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding Kant: Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics Nietzsche: Beyond Good and Evil* Euclid: Elements* Lobachevski: The Theory of Parallels* PRECEPTORIAL PRECEPTORIAL (sample offerings) (sample offerings) PRECEPTORIAL ** Readings may differ slightly between campuses * Selections (sample offerings) Montesquieu: The Spirit of the Laws Shakespeare: The history plays Smith: The Wealth of Nations Rousseau: Emile Hegel: The Philosophy of Right Tolstoy: War and Peace Machiavelli: The Florentine Histories Weber: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism Arendt: The Origins of Totalitarianism PRECEPTORIAL (sample offerings) (sample offerings) Aristotle: On the Soul Heidegger: Selected Works Spinoza: Ethics Wittgenstein: Philosophical Investigations Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathustra The Graduate Institute 31 �DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS The aim of the Eastern Classics program is to help students seek a deeper understanding of the fundamental and enduring questions that have been raised by thoughtful human beings in the rich traditions of the East. Its course of study consists of 34 semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Santa Fe campus. The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. In the seminar, 14 to 18 students discuss assigned readings from a wide range of Indian, Chinese, and Japanese texts. In the tutorial, students study either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. The goal is not mastery, but rather sufficient familiarity with the elements of the languages to gain some insight into their structure and to 32 The Graduate Institute translate selected short passages from classical texts. In the preceptorial, students study a single work or theme for an eight-week period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged. �THE EASTERN CLASSICS CURRICULUM Fall Semester Spring Semester CHINESE TUTORIAL CHINESE TUTORIAL (sample offerings) (sample offerings) Pronunciation & grammar Confucius: Analects* Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching* T’ang Poetry Mencius: Works* PRECEPTORIAL SANSKRIT TUTORIAL SANSKRIT TUTORIAL (sample offerings) Gonda, A Concise Elementary Grammar of the Sanskrit Language Devanagari script (sample offerings) Bhagavad-Gita* Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra* SEMINAR SEMINAR Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching Confucius: Analects, The Great Learning and The Doctrine of the Mean Mo Tzu: Basic Writings of Mo Tzu* Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Mencius: Works* Hsün Tzu: Writings of Hsün Tzu* Han Fei Tzu: Writings of Han Fei Tzu* Sima Qian: The Grand Scribe’s Records* I Ching Rig Veda Brhadaranyaka Upanishad Kena Upanishad Mundaka Upanishad Katha Upanishad Ishvara Krishna: Sankhya Karika Tattva-Kaumudi* Patanjali: Yoga Sutra Jayadeva: Gitagovinda PRECEPTORIAL (sample offerings) Mahabharata (required) I Ching (sample offerings) Confucius: Analects Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Lao Tzu: Basic Writings Hui-Neng: Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch Chu Hsi: Chu Tzu ch’uan-shu, and Chu Tzu wen-chi Kalidasa: Shakuntala, Kumarasambhava and Meghaduta Jaimini: Mimamsa Sutra* Kumarila Bhatta: Shlokavartika Katha Upanishad Institutes of Manu Kautilya: Artha-Shastra Kama Sutra* Mahabharata Bhagavad-Gita Abhinavagupta: Dhvanyaloka* Jayarasi Bhatta: Tattvopaplavasimha* Ashvaghosha: Buddhacarita Majjhima Nikaya* Vimalakirti Sutra* Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra Chandrakirti: Prasannapada Lankavatara Sutra* Guadapada: The Great Karika on the Mandukya Upanishad Shankara: Commentary on the Vedanta Sutras T’ao Ch’ien: Record of the Peach Blossom Fountainhead Chinese Poetry* Diamond Sutra Heart Sutra (sample offerings) Rig Veda Upanishads Ts’ao Hsüeh-Ch’in: Story of the Stone Sima Qian: The Grand Scribe’s Records Neo-Confucian Texts Chinese Vernacular Prose of the Ming Dynasty Summer Semester SEMINAR The Tale of the Heike Lotus Sutra Sei Shonagon: The Pillow Book* Kenko: Essays in Idleness Dogen: Shobogenzo* Basho: The Narrow Road to the Deep North Chushingura: The Treasury of Loyal Retainers PRECEPTORIAL (sample offerings) Murasaki Shikibu: The Tale of Genji (required) *selections The Graduate Institute 33 �BIBLIOGRAPHY Books About Liberal Education Adler, Mortimer J., and Charles Van Doren: How to Read a Book, Simon and Schuster, 1972.

The New Program is not a college "course," in the ordinary sense. Nor is it a collection of such "courses," either "elective" or "required." It is elective only in the sense that a student, having first elected to come to St. John's rather than go to some other college, may next elect to take either the New Program or the old one. The New Program is a complete and integrated four-year curriculum. Having chosen it, the student will be required to take it in its entirety. Because it is comprehensive and general, it affords ample scope for individual interests and individual capacities. Like the old, the New Program leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. It will be open to freshmen who enter St. John's in September, 1937, or in later years. It is not open to those undergraduates who have already completed a year or more at St. John's, or at some other college, except in the rare cases where such undergraduates prefer—and this is already happening—to enter the New Program as freshmen. Students who desire to enter St. John's in 1937, but who do not wish to follow the New Program are free to follow the usual curriculum as outlined in the most recent College catalogue. The New Program has been so constructed as to give a young man a sound education and the capacity to think clearly and act wisely, things which he and his parents have a right to demand of a college, things which parents have of recent years found it harder and harder to secure for their sons. The requirements for the B.A. degree under the New Program are given in detail in Dr. Buchanan's statement. These requirements more than meet the demands of graduate schools in this country and of universities abroad. Students will find in the New Program the SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN 5 basic training with which they may enter and successfully pursue study in law schools, medical schools, engineering, theology, schools of business administration, library schools, schools of education, schools of journalism, post-graduate work in universities, or with which they can enter directly the fields of business, of social, and of public service. Dean Buchanan's statement is a supplement to the regular College catalogue, which can be secured on request. The regular catalogue of St. John's College deals with some of its many, and important, advantages, with its local tradition, with such practical matters as hours, courses, and the cost of tuition. This Supplement deals with a more important matter: why a young man should desire an education at all. It is not written in the language of an ordinary catalogue. It was not written in that language because that language is not suited to the discussion of the ends and means of liberal education. It warrants the careful study of prospective students and their parents if only because the subject of which it treats is of paramount importance to them, regardless of what individual college they may choose. I believe I am already familiar with the objections which various readers will raise: that the New Program is suitable only for unusually well prepared boys, or only for rich boys who do not have to earn their living later, that it does not provide professional training, that it is not suited to twentiethcentury America, that it is too conservative or even reactionary, that it leaves out the reader's pet "subject" or even his pet classic, that the student should follow his own "interests," or that he cannot "do" mathematics, and so on. There are completely convincing answers to all these objections, answers based on hard teaching experience. Obviously, there is not sufficient space here to make such answers instructive. Dr. Buchanan's statement itself can do no more than indicate what those answers must be. The College authorities will be glad to answer enquiries concerning the New Program, or concerning the old. They will be glad to arrange interviews with applicants or their parents. Requests for interviews should be addressed to "The President, St. John's College, Annapolis, Maryland" (Telephone: Annapolis 538). �SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN The New Program at St. John's By SCOTT BUCHANAN Dean of St. John's College The Aims of Liberal Education Two or three generations ago, when the aims of liberal education were still adequately implemented in curricula which had the sanction of both learned and popular opinion, it would have been unnecessary to discuss the aims in a college catalogue. Statements concerning aims would have appeared, and did appear, in the original charter of the college. Whereas, Institutions for the liberal education of youth in the principles of virtue, knowledge and useful literature are of the highest benefit to society, in order to train up and perpetuate a succession of able and honest men for discharging the various offices and duties of life, both civil and religious, with usefulness and reputation, and such institutions of learning have accordingly been promoted and encouraged by the wisest and best regulated States: Be it enacted, etc. This was the elegant style and certain manner of the founders of St. John's College in 1784, as indeed it was for the founders of King William's School in 1696. They could be thus brief and concise, and their words stood safe and secure in the steady faith they and their readers had in the nature of things and of man. We begin with a looser style and an uncertain manner, and it takes many more words to come to the point. In order to state our purpose we start with words from a writer, a scientific writer, of the nineteenth century: Education is the adaptation of the human animal to his environment. We note the play of the child and the restless activity of the adolescent in order to dis- SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN cern the thread that we wish to follow on to the end. Somewhere along this thread we must pass from the merely physical aspects of the environment to the living aspects, and finally to those things that minister to intellect and spirit. In the process of adaptation play and activity must make their contribution to work and thought. Human animals must feed themselves, sense the world they live in, and move about; in these things they are like other animals. But they must also imagine, speculate, and practise the arts. These involve man, the rational animal. We in this country have of necessity been concerned chiefly with our competence and adaptation in the useful arts, and in this we do not necessarily go astray. It is by taking the useful arts seriously that we discover the liberal arts. In the pursuit of our vital ends we find that imagination, scientific reason, speculation, and observation play an indispensable part, but we also increasingly realize these are special activities with special ends that must be pursued for their own sakes if our more immediate ends are to be gained. There must be appreciation, understanding, and knowledge of the truth even for the sake of our everyday needs. Crucial events in the twentieth century make it unnecessary to argue this point. The arts of apprehending, understanding, and knowing the truth are the liberal arts, and they set their own ends. They are also the arts of the freeman who sets his own immediate ends in the light of the more general good. It is only by the practice of the liberal arts that the human animal becomes a free man. It is only by discipline in these arts that spiritual, moral, and civil liberties can be achieved and preserved. It is in such obvious propositions as these that the founding fathers of 1784 and 1789 gave reasons for the institutions that they set up. It is embarrassing to admit that they are not always familiar and obvious to us. It will be an important part of the instruction at St. John's College to keep this part of our past alive in the minds of the students, but it is even more important that we implement the �8 SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN ends which the propositions celebrate and seek the virtues which they dictate. Ultimately the ends of liberal education are the intellectual virtues, the development of the capacities from which they come, and the integration of the characters to which they contribute* Tradition The most powerful controlling factor in any human environment is tradition, and any system of education that tries to ignore or escape the tradition within which it operates is bound to fail and destroy itself. The latent dangers in traditions become actual only when they are ignored and evaded. Conscious suppression or artificial construction of a tradition leads only to cultural monstrosity. Eternal vigilance within a tradition is the price of liberty. But there are many traditions: local traditions, family traditions, even personal day-to-day traditions; professional traditions, scientific and literary traditions, political traditions like monarchy and democracy. These provide the mediums in which the individual lives and moves, moral supports for his purposes, and ways for his imagination and thought to travel. Fallen into decay and disrepute, tradition reaches out a dead hand and stops the individual in his tracks. Traditions live in the individual minds and spirits; individuals find their vital fulfillments in living traditions. It is the purpose of the new program at St. John's College to recover the great liberal tradition of Europe and America, which for a period of two thousand years has kept watch over and guided all the other Occidental traditions. All liberal colleges ought to be devoted servants of this great tradition, and this is the secret of their tenacious attempts to discharge their functions against many odds. The tangible and eminently available embodiments and tools of this great tradition are the classics and the liberal arts. SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN The Classics For a long period of European history the ancient languages and mathematics provided the educational mediums of this tradition. They were called the classics. In the last generation it has been known that they were no longer effective carriers. Our educational system has responded by dropping them. But we have not been successful in finding the proper substitutes, tangible, available, movable objects whose obvious properties will enable teachers to move, lead, and discipline students in the liberal arts. Failure at this point is fundamental failure, and compensations in other directions no matter how good in themselves, no matter how various and interesting they may prove to be to the mass of students, are unfaithful to the imperative need of genuine liberal education. The first step in correction and recovery is admission of failure, and the second step must be research, in the literal sense of retracing the steps in the tradition back to the point where the thread was lost. We, the members of the present administration and staff of St. John's College, have been engaged in this research for the last decade. By following the traces we have found the steps in the great books of the European intellectual tradition. They not only throw light on what has happened to the liberal heritage, but they are themselves the mediums in which it can be revived and carried on in the liberal college. In short the great books of European thought are the classics, and in this sense liberal education should still be classical. It may be well in this place to state the criteria of a classic, the standards by which a given book can be judged to be or not to be a classic. To begin with the apparently trivial, a great book is one that has been read by the largest number of persons. To followers of the publishers' announcements of best sellers this criterion may seem unworthy. Over the entire period of European history, Plato, Euclid, the Bible, and Shakespeare are the best examples: barring historical accidents, such as the burning of the library at Alexandria, the judgment stands. The �SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN second criterion is also apparently numerical: a great book has the largest number of possible interpretations. This does not mean that the book must be confusingly ambiguous; it rather refers to the inexhaustibility of its significance, each interpretation possessing a clarity and force that will allow other interpretations to stand by its side without confusion. Dante's Divine Comedy and Newton's Principia are the telling examples under this standard. The third criterion is more important and harder to determine: a great book should raise the persistent unanswerable questions about the great themes in European thought. Questions concerning number and measurement, matter and form, ultimate substance, tragedy, and God open up mysteries for the human mind. These questions are met and evaded regularly by self-styled practical men; faced and explored, they induce, balance, and maintain the intellectual virtues, and on their constant cultivation hang the issues of orthodoxy, heresy, and freedom which are always with us. The fourth criterion is that a great book must be a work of fine art; it must have an immediate intelligibility and style which will excite and discipline the ordinary mind by its form alone. Fifthly, a great book must be a masterpiece of the liberal arts. Its author must be a master of the arts of thought and imagination whose work has been faithful to the ends of these arts, the understanding and exposition of the truth. These five are the tests which a book must pass if it is to belong to any contemporary list of the classics. telligible to both professor and student become approachable and conquerable if the proper path through other books is followed. Finally the educative value and power of any given book increases at a very high ratio as other books are read. Consider Euclid and Newton, Sophocles and Freud, Plato and Kant, Hegel and Marx, Locke and the American Constitution. This is an overwhelming answer to inevitable doubts whether the modern college student has capacities equal to the task of reading which the St. John's program sets. It is also internal evidence from the books themselves that they are the best instruments of education. Current textbooks in special subjectmatters do not belong to the classics; they are the best examples we can find of books that are detached from the tradition and therefore doomed to early death. 10 But such a list makes a chronological series with an order that imposes additional powers on each book. Each book was written after and in the light of previous books; each book was written before other books which it has influenced. Each master has stood on the shoulders of another master and has had later masters as his students. These influences, which are historically vague in some cases, are impressive in the books themselves. Each is something more than itself in its organic place in the series, and this has many implications. One cannot internally understand a given book until he has read its predecessors and also its successors. It turns out that the best commentary on a great book is another great book. Books now unin- 11 Several models and a great deal of teaching and reading have gone into the compilation of the list. There is the experience with the American Expeditionary Force University at Beaune at the end of the War, there is the experience with honors courses at Columbia University during the twenties, there is the experience with adult reading courses in connection with the People's Institute and the New York Public Libraries, there is the experience with undergraduates, graduates, and high school students at the University of Chicago, there is the experience with Litterae Humaniores at Oxford, there is experience in the Benedictine monasteries from the sixth century on. But the best model that we have is the Bible, a series of books so selected and ordered that they have become the Scriptures of the whole race. This is the most read book in our list, and its inspiration has spread backward and forward through all the classics. It should be added that any limited list of the classics must always remain open to revision. There is no better way of revising it than its continuous use in teaching in a college. The "best hundred books" is a variable for collecting the values that satisfy its criteria. That is the minimum way of describing the scholarly task that is laid on the teaching faculty. �12 SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN A LIST OF GREAT BOOKS In Chronological Order Homer: Iliad'and Odyssey ^Eschylus: Oresteia Herodotus: History Sophocles: CEdipus Rex Hippocrates: Selections Euripides: Medea and Electra Thucydides: History of the Peloponnesian Wars Old Testament Aristophanes: Frogs, Clouds, Birds Aristarchus: On the Distance of the Sun and Moon Aristoxenus: Harmony Plato: Meno, Republic, Sophist Aristotle: Organon and Poetics Archimedes: Works Euclid: Elements Apollonius: Conies Lucian: True History Plutarch: Lives Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Nicomachus: Introduction to Arithmetic Ptolemy: Almagest Virgil: JEneid Strabo: Geography Livy: History of Rome Cicero: De OfKciis Horace: Ars Poetica Ovid: Metamorphoses Quintilian: Institutes Marcus Aurelius: To Himself New Testament Galen: On the Natural Faculties Plotinus: Enneads Augustine: De Musica and De Magistro Song of Roland Volsunga Saga Bonaventura: On the Reduction of the Arts to Theology Thomas: Summa Theologica Roger Bacon: Opus Maius Chaucer: Canterbury Tales Leonardo: Note-books Erasmus: Colloquies Rabelais: Gargantua Copernicus: De Revolutionibus Machiavelli: The Prince Harvey: On the Motion of the Heart Gilbert: On the Magnet Kepler: Epitome of Astronomy Galileo: Two New Sciences Descartes: Geometry Francis Bacon: Novum Organum Hobbes: Leviathan Montaigne: Essays Cervantes: Don Quixote Shakespeare: Hamlet, King Lear Calvin: Institutes Grotius: The Law of War and Peace Corneille: Le Cid SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN Racine: Phedre Moliere: Tartuffe Spinoza: Ethics Milton: Paradise Lost Leibniz: Mathematical Papers Newton: Principia Boyle: Skeptical Chymist Montesquieu: The Spirit of the Laws Swift: Gulliver's Travels Locke: Essay Concerning Human Understanding Voltaire: Candide Fielding: Tom Jones Rousseau: Social Contract Adam Smith: Wealth of Nations Hume: Treatise of Human Nature Gibbon: Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Constitution of the United States Federalist Papers Kant: Critique of Pure Reason Goethe: Faust Hegel: Science of Logic Schopenhauer: The World as Will and Idea Coleridge: Biographia Literaria Bentham: Principles of Morals and of Legislation Malthus: Essay on the Principles of Population Mill: System of Logic Marx: Capital Balzac: Pere Conor Thackeray: Henry Esmond Dickens: David Copperfield Flaubert: Madame Bovary Dostoevski: Crime and Punishment Tolstoi: War and Peace Zola: Experimental Novel Ibsen: The Doll's House Dalton: A New System of Chemical Philosophy Clifford: The Common Sense of the Exact Sciences Fourier: Mathematical Analysis of Heat Faraday: Experimental Researches into Electricity Peacock: Algebra Lobachevski: Theory of Parallels Darwin: Origin of Species Mendel: Papers Bernard: Introduction to Experimental Medicine Galton: Enquiries into the Human Mind and its Faculties "Joule: Scientific Papers Maxwell: Electricity and Magnetism Gauss: Mathematical Papers Galois: Mathematical Papers Boole: Laws of Thought Hamilton: Quaternions Riemann: The Hypotheses of Geometry Cantor: Transfinite Numbers Virchow: Cellular Pathology Poincare: Science and Hypothesis Hilbert: Foundations of Geometry James: Principles of Psychology Freud: Papers on Hysteria Russell and Whitehead: Principia Mathematica Veblen and Young: Protective Geometry 13 �14 SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN The books on this list for the most part have recently been republished in cheap editions* The cost to the student during the four years' course will, with a few exceptions, come within the customary sum paid for textbooks. In special cases, for instance Euclid's Elements in Heath's translation, the College will arrange a subsidy. It is therefore feasible to make and remake such a list, and to prescribe it as the required reading of all students at St. John's who enter the new program of study. The Liberal Arts There are two ways of explaining the function of the liberal arts in a liberal college. The simpler way is to describe the mechanics of instruction. That will appear in what follows. But first it will be well to make clear what the basic distinctions were before the modern chaos buried them under the materials of instruction. In general the liberal arts are the three R's, reading, writing, and reckoning. So they still appear in our primary schools; it is their integrity and power that still lure us back to the little red school houses where our fathers and grandfathers studied and practised them. Before the nineteenth century they had a higher place and a more elaborate development which gave birth to and nurtured the array of subject-matters in the modern university. For fifteen hundred years they were called the Seven Liberal Arts, and before that they were called the Encyclopedia, the "circle for the training of boys". There is a continuous tradition of these as there is of the books, and the two traditions are one in the end. Their formal and operating techniques are more difficult to recover than their products in the great books, but the recovery has proved possible and also illuminating for the practical problems of instruction that the books raise. The clearest historic pattern of the liberal arts for the modern mind is, curiously enough, to be found in the thirteenth century. At the time of Dante's Divine Comedy and St, Thomas' Summa Theologica, they were listed as follows: SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN Triviam Grammar Rhetoric Logic 15 Quadrivium Arithmetic Geometry Music Astronomy With the medieval emphasis on the rational activities of man and the central position of the speculative sciences of theology and philosophy interest centered on the last art in each column, and the other arts were subordinate and auxiliary to them. The master of arts in the thirteenth century would most likely write his books on logic and metaphysics or in music and astronomy. Other ages made different emphases. The Renaissance found rhetoric, geometry, and music (measurement) most productive and illuminating, with the other arts subsidiary. The Romans went farthest in rhetoric, as one might expect from noting their legal activities. The Alexandrians gave highest honors to the grammarian scholar and the arithmetician and geometer, with considerable consequent attention to experimental science. The Athenian Greeks agreed with the thirteenth century in their ordering of the arts. It seems that we in our political preoccupation and economic energy, coupled with experimental science, are primarily concerned with rhetoric and music, the Pythagorean name for mathematical physics. The order and the shifts in order that this indicates reflect the shifts of attention and emphasis in the great books, and these in turn, as methods of writing and reading, may be said to reflect the spirit of the ages in which they were written. These observations can be turned to account in the manner of teaching which we propose to follow. The entire period with the books and the patterns of the arts can be recapitulated in the four-year college course, the yearly divisions falling respectively at the end of the Alexandrian period, at the end of the middle ages, in the middle of the eighteenth century, and ending with contemporary writers. The schedule can be seen in the following scheme: �16 SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN Schedule of Readings by Years Languages and Literature First Year JL Cell. Second Year Third Year Fourth Year Homer Herodotus Thucydides Aeschylus Sophocles Euripides Aristophanes Lucian Old Testament Horace Ovid Livy Virgil New Testament Quintilian Dante Volsunga Saga Song of Roland Chaucer Cervantes Shakespeare Milton Rabelais Corneille Racine Moliere Erasmus Montaigne Montesquieu Grotius Gibbon Voltaire Swift Rousseau Adam Smith American Constitution Federalist Papers Malthus Marx Fielding Balzac Flaubert Thackeray Dickens Ibsen Dostoevski Tolstoi Liberal Arts Mathematics and Science Plato Aristotle Hippocrates Galen Euclid Nicomachus Aristarchus Apollonius Ptolemy Archimedes Aristoxenus Lucretius Aurelius Cicero Plotinus Augustine Bonaventura Thomas Roger Bacon Strabo Leonardo Copernicus Galileo Descartes Calvin Spinoza Francis Bacon Hobbes Locke Hume Kepler Harvey Gilbert Newton Leibniz Boyle Kant Schopenhauer Hegel Goethe Bentham Mill James Freud > Peacock Boole Fourier Lavoisier Dalton Hamilton Faraday Maxwell Joule Darwin Virchow Bernard Galton Mendel Clifford Cantor Riemann Lobachevski Hilbert Poincare Gauss Galois Russell 8 Whitehead Veblen 8 Young 17 This scheme correlates the books with the appropriate contemporaneous ordering of the liberal arts, and provides the basic pattern of instruction so that it will be most effective and economical. The two outside columns give the divisions of the books that are primarily literary and linguistic in medium and style and those that are mathematical and scientific in these respects. The middle column gives the texts that expound the distinctions and ordering principles of the arts of reading, understanding, and criticism that will most efficiently exploit the contents of the books. Along with these, we propose to run laboratories of three kinds throughout the course, one to study the devices of measurement and instruments of precision, another to repeat the crucial and canonical experiments in the history of science, and still another for the focusing and concentrating of the devices of all the sciences upon such contemporary problems as the nature of the cell, the chemical, physical, and biological balances in the blood, and the basic problems in embryology. These are the non-bookish classics that the modern laboratory has produced, and the consequent disciplines will be provided for the liberal training of the student. It is an interesting fact of modern times that the classics and the liberal arts are kept alive chiefly by experimentation. The liberal arts are chiefly concerned with the nature of the symbols, written, spoken, and constructed, in terms of which we rational animals find our way around in the material and cultural world in which we live. Symbols have practical aspects, as in rhetoric and industry, which must be understood and distinguished from their theoretical uses and significances in science and literature. Again there are concrete data and artificial products that must be distinguished from the abstract principles and ideas which govern them* There are many connections that these aspects have with one another, and it is the business of the liberal artist to see these apart and put them together. Success in this constitutes intellectual and moral health. Failure is stupidity, intellectual and moral decay, and slavery, to escape which the founding fathers set up institutions of liberal education. It is reassuring to know that they had more than pious hopes in their minds when they made charters for St. John's College and its sister institutions. �T 18 SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN Machinery of Instruction For students who choose to enter this program of study this year, 1937, there will be a staff of instruction consisting of men who have come to St. John's from the University of Chicago, the University of Virginia, Columbia University, and Oxford. Ideally these men should be equally well trained in each aspect of the program, have read all the books in the list, and mastered all the arts. Actually the members of the staff have been educated during the period of academic specialization, and they therefore are specialists who have re-educated themselves in varying degrees. Together their specialties cover the range of the books and the arts, and students will achieve balanced training through a scheme of combination and rotation of teaching techniques; and the same will be true for persons in charge. Such a scheme is dictated by the books and the liberal arts. The teaching devices in the scheme are four: 1) reading and discussion of the books in seminars; 2) formal lectures on special topics in the liberal arts; 3) tutorials; 4) laboratories. Seminars Meetings of seminar groups will occur twice a week with any additional meetings that special circumstances or difficulties may indicate. There will be two instructors in charge, and the instruction will make use of a wide range of devices from explication de texte to analysis of intellectual content and the dialectical treatment of critical opinion. Formal Lectures The liberal arts operate in the light of principles which constitute the liberal sciences. These sciences will be progressively expounded in formal lectures by various members of the staff as the course proceeds. They will be expository and critical also of themes that arise in the reading of the books. There will be at least two formal lectures a week. 19 Tutorials There will be three kinds of tutorial instruction for small groups or individuals: in original languages, in mathematics, and in writing. The study of an original language will be initiated in an intensive manner during a period of six or eight weeks at the beginning of each year. The books will be read in English translation, but their proper interpretation is most rapid and efficient when they are studied as translations. This requires only a part of the knowledge commonly demanded now in language courses, a knowledge that is rapidly and easily acquired by the study and analysis of texts selected from the books on the list. This training will serve two purposes in the course, first as it contributes to a knowledge of universal or general grammar as we shall study that in the liberal arts, and as a cumulative skill in the genuine reading of any text including those in English. Greek will be thus studied the first year, Latin the second, and French and German in the third and fourth. It should be noted that these correspond with the original languages of the texts in those years. The second kind of tutorial will be ordered to the elementary study of the mathematical books. Modern students, more because of the diversity in previous trainings rather than because of any genuine differences in native endowments, vary a great deal in their mathematical abilities. The mathematical tutorials will be organized and taught on the basis of diagnoses of individual cases with the aim of leading each student into vital intellectual relations with the mathematical texts. This task will be facilitated by the mathematical laboratory for those whose difficulties lie in the operational level. The third kind of tutorial is concerned with training in writing. Selected texts will be memorized, imitated in style, translated, and criticized. The aim here will be triple: to induce active participation in the thought of the great authors, to increase the original literary ability of the student, and to encourage him in original literary creation. There are plans for a magazine of commentary and criticism to which students, teach- �20 SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN ers, and friends of the St. John's program may contribute. This will be closely connected with the writing tutorials and will be under student editorship. Laboratories There will be three kinds of laboratories; one in mathematics and measurement; one in experimentation; and one in the combination of scientific findings. The mathematical laboratory will be equipped with the basic instruments of measurement in all the sciences. Here students learn the mathematical principles that have been embodied in the instruments, learn to operate them, and thus become familiar with the operational aspects of both mathematics and the natural sciences. They will also acquire the "feel" of elementary laboratory techniques for all the sciences. The second kind of laboratory will allow students to repeat the crucial and canonical experiments in historic and contemporary science. There are classics in empirical science, experiments which once uncovered principles and laid the foundation for whole fields of investigation. Some of these go back to the lever and the balance, some of them like Galileo's experiments with the inclined plane founded classical mechanics, others like Milikan's measurement of the force on the electron have set the themes for contemporary science. Students will study these scientific classics* At the end of the course there will be a laboratory for the combining of scientific findings in order to investigate concrete problems of central importance. The best problems come from the medical sciences, problems of the cell, problems of blood balances, problems of embryology* They will be in charge of a member of the staff who is acquainted with medical science. These laboratories will provide a proper pre-professional scientific training, will illustrate the liberal arts in their liveliest contemporary practices, and will focus the past on the present for the whole course. The mathematical laboratory will carry the student through the first year, the experimental laboratory through the second and third years, and the combinatorial laboratory the last year. 21 Schedule A given week will contain a maximum of approximately seventeen hours of actual classroom and laboratory work. This will be divided as follows: Seminars Lectures Tutorials Language (for 6 weeks) Mathematics Writing Laboratory Total 4 2 . . hours hours 3 3 2 2^ hours hours hours hours l6l/2 hours Actually this total will vary between fourteen and seventeen hours with an average of hours for the week equal to the customary requirements of liberal colleges in this country. Admission to this Course On account of the great variation in preparatory training for college students, no preparation is assumed for this course beyond a minimum of reading, writing, and arithmetic; eventually there will be a formulation of this minimum requirement. At the start and for some time in the future we shall apply the usual set of requirements for admission to St. John's College, with special consideration for candidates of outstanding ability whose previous records may not conform to the stated regulations. This course is not designed for any special type of student, either better or worse than the average. It has rigors to meet the abilities of the best students, and it has excellences and aids for the conventionally judged mediocre or even poor student who also should have the best educational material and teaching attention. The course is a single all required course, and cannot be taken in part. It has within it so many degrees of freedom not frequently offered at present that no apology is needed for a formalism that is only apparent. �22 SUPPLEMENT TO THE BULLETIN Students entering St. John's College in September, 1937, will be personally advised concerning the opportunities for their education that this course offers, and will be invited to enter it. Old students who wish to make a new start may also choose to enter it. It cannot be taken in part as substitute for one, two, or three years that they still have to complete in the old curriculum. This rule also applies to students transferring from other institutions. Degree Requirements Satisfactory work in this course for four years will be accepted as fulfillment of the requirements for a Bachelor of Arts degree. There will be the usual semester examinations, either oral or written or both, and a final comprehensive examination, oral and written, at the end of the four years. Specifically, the requirements are as follows: Knowledge of the contents of the required books of the course* Competence in the liberal arts. A reading knowledge in at least two foreign languages. Competence in mathematics through elementary calculus. 300 hours of laboratory science. These requirements more than meet the demands of graduate schools in this country, whether in medicine, law, theology, science, business or the arts and sciences. There is enough freedom in the course for the individual student to meet any special requirements that his choice of career and graduate school may dictate. Despite daily assertions to the contrary, there is no educational device for assuring worldly success to the student. To cultivate the rational human powers of the individual so that armed with the intellectual and moral virtues he may hope to meet and withstand the vicissitudes of outrageous fortune— that is education. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Liberally educated persons, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John’s College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great books — texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures — because they are both timeless and timely. These books are the most important teachers. They illuminate the persisting questions of human existence and they bear directly on the problems we face today. They express most originally, and often most perfectly, the ideas by which contemporary life is knowingly or unknowingly governed. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not of merely academic concern, nor is it remote from our true interests. They change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human questions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treatises, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for 6 The Introduction �each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other, and they draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. This conversation, however, is unavoidably one sided. The books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To overcome this limitation is the goal of the St. John’s seminar. Here a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, attempt to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing to submit their opinions to one another’s questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. It may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are — to help students gain understanding and make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they face. And it is the ultimate aim of the Program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John’s takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John’s seeks to restore the true meaning of liberal education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic — the arts of language; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy — the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experimentation, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. They all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely and critically for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to know the world around them and to know themselves in this world, and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the constraint of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. The aim of the education offered by St. John’s College is the liberation of the human intellect. This is an education for all, regardless of a person’s race, ethnicity, sex, religious beliefs, country of origin, economic background, age, disability or sexual orientation. By reading great books and struggling together with the fundamental questions that they raise, students and their teachers learn from their differences and discover more deeply their shared humanity. In this and other ways, a diversity of background and experience enriches our community of learning. Because it offers an education for all, St. John’s College has sought and continues to seek to make its program of study known and available to people of diverse backgrounds. The Introduction 7 �THE CURRICULUM The Seminar The heart of the curriculum is the seminar—a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar 17 to 21 students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, for two hours — sometimes longer if the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around 80 pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. The seminar begins with a question asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists mostly of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not just to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at will. The resulting informality is tempered by the use of formal modes of address. Once under way, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and aggression and to bring to the surface the students’ opinions and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity’s ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading, but bear only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the Coffee Shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument — an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and trying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn that to some extent the procedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy, and it can require a different approach. Such progress in learning together may be crowned by sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of “following the argument,” of facing the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question remains open but with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the “right” opinion or interpretation. It is 8 The Curriculum �subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer them. Students may suggest a topic and invite a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the Program, some preceptorials may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more than 10 students in a preceptorial. Guided by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by the seminar. Usually, the students’ work is completed by some form of written work, either a formal paper or a presentation to the class. Listed below are some of the preceptorial subjects offered on the two campuses in recent years. to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections and to help the students in every way possible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question “Why?” But the leaders may also take a definite and positive stand and enter directly into the argument. If they do so, however, they can expect no special consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. Consequently, all opinions must be defended with reason, and any single opinion can prevail only by general consent. The aim is always to develop the students’ powers of reason and understanding and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, sophomore, and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes a major part of the process called enabling (see page 28). THE PRECEPTORIAL For seven to eight weeks at the end of the first semester, seminars of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually given a choice of 25 to 30 preceptorials on books or Heidegger: Being and Time Design and Expression in the Visual Arts Joyce: Ulysses Saussure: Course in General Linguistics Readings in Lao Tsu and Confucius Aristotle: Metaphysics Darwin: Natural Selection Plato: Republic Marquez: One Hundred Years of Solitude Galileo: Dialogues on the Two Chief World Systems Shakespeare: Selected Plays Metaphysical Poets Bosch and Bruegel Kant: Critique of Judgment Hobbes: Leviathan Augustine: City of God Austen: Selected Novels Faraday: Experimental Researches in Electricity and Magnetism Ethical Problems in Medicine Thucydides: The Peloponnesian War The Curriculum 9 �THE TUTORIALS The seminar cannot suffice as the only setting for liberal education. By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and writing. Other learning experiences must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, seated around a table, 13 to 16 students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to work together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstration, of an important work. As in the seminar, students talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and insight to one another. Other tutors occasionally attend, seeking to learn about a particular subject that they may later teach. Writing is assigned regularly in all classes: mathematics, music, and laboratory sections, as well as in language tutorials. The students are thus called upon continually to articulate and organize their thinking in both the written and spoken forms. The Language Tutorial Specialization in higher education has led to a profound neglect of language skills. As country is separated from country by the barrier of language, so profession is separated from profession by technical jargon. Primarily, the language tutorial attempts to remedy this condition by training in the means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and ambiguities of terms; to the role of metaphors, analogies, and images; and to the logical relations that connect propositions. 10 The Curriculum The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years; French in the third and fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the students learn something of the nature of languages in general and of their own in particular. During the four years, then, they study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, they study their own language. They discover the resources of articulate speech and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent, and effective — if it is to be adequate and persuasive. In the beginning, the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language being studied. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one that is concerned with particular details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work. Those are matters that do not come directly into seminar discussions. The students’ concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign language, but the students can reasonably expect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they study. To experience the individuality of another language is to extend the boundaries of one’s sensibility. �The choice of foreign languages is in part dictated by the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary. Latin and German might be used without changing the pattern and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes well with the freshman seminar and mathematics tutorial, and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of the first. The second year ends with analysis and discussion of works by Shakespeare, Donne, and other English poets. The French of the third year begins with a brief, intensive study of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading of simple French. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form and content are related to appropriate writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of their models. In the second semester a play is read — usually Racine’s Phèdre. The principal activity of the fourth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal. Its immediate object is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of language. Writing assignments include exercises in transla- tion more ambitious than those attempted in the third year. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Robert Frost, W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. The Mathematics Tutorial Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested by the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning “to learn.” It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathematical. It is equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John’s is studied as a liberal art, not artificially separated from what have come to be called the humanities. When mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for their elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John’s, mathematics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal art but also one that provides ready access to others and significant analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studying mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines it. Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarity The Curriculum 11 �Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? What is the relation of logic to mathematics? What do “better” and “worse,” “ugly” and “beautiful” signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are there “mathematical objects”? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. with the mathematical methods by which it is managed, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their application. It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to help students to think about what it means to count and measure things in the universe. The second main reason for studying mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically. Since mathematics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human capacity for learning, its study is especially useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know something. To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: 12 The Curriculum The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid’s organization of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects — its central expression found in the theory of ratios — which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy’s Almagest, centering their attention on the problem of “hypotheses” constructed to “save the appearances” in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between the mathematics tutorial at St. John’s and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: his work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study Copernicus’ transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into heliocentric form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an understanding of algebra as the “analytic art” in general. �In the third year, students study calculus analytically in its modern form, originally in Leibniz’s work, and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. In the second semester, students take up Newton’s treatment of astronomy in the Principia, in which he brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomy with a “dynamic” theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The year concludes with an examination of Dedekind’s theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski’s approach to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature of the geometric art as a whole. Seniors also study Einstein’s special theory of relativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. The Music Tutorial One of the aims of the St. John’s Program has been to restore music as part of the liberal arts curriculum. The study of music at St. John’s is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind’s power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the ratios among whole numbers. In particular, the music program at St. John’s aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year, students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place primarily by singing, and by the second semester the students perform some of the great choral works. In the sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides continuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoric, and poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial includes an investigation of rhythm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the diatonic system, a study of the ratios of musical intervals, and a consideration of melody, counterpoint, and harmony. None of these are done apart from the sounding reality of good music. The inventions of Bach, the songs of Schubert, the masses of Palestrina, the St. Matthew Passion of Bach, the operas of Mozart, and the instrumental works of Beethoven are the real teachers. In the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. The Curriculum 13 �THE LABORATORY Three hundred years ago, algebra and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by René Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, politics, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the St. John’s Program and one that the college takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last two years of the Program exhibit the farreaching changes that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period from Homer to Descartes. Modern mathematics has made possible the exploration of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast project of study conceived by the great thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. St. John’s has a three-year laboratory in the natural sciences. In the laboratory, students pursue characteristic and related topics in physics, biology, and chemistry. The art of measurement involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measurement; in practica, students reproduce crucial experiments; and, throughout, the interplay of hypothesis, theory, and fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is supported by the mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques. The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research. It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills. The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the humanities, as if they were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. Different fields of exploration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems from sources common to all intellectual life. 14 The Curriculum The Organization of the Laboratory Work The laboratory program is largely determined by three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the study of science: (1) The formally scheduled experimental work must be combined with a full and free discussion of the instruments and principles involved in it. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific discipline to its roots in principle, assumption, and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters are selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (3) The schedule of laboratory work should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation. The students must have time to satisfy themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can they come to a mature understanding of the sciences called “exact.” A laboratory section consists of 14 to 16 students working under the guidance of a tutor, with the help of more advanced students serving as assistants. Sections meet two or three times a week. A laboratory session may be used for exposition and discussion of theory, for experimentation, or for both, as the progress of the work requires. In most cases, the basis for discussion is a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Harvey, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. �Laboratory Topics 3rd Year Topics in physics: mechanics, optics, heat, electricity, magnetism The general topics of study have been chosen from elementary physical and biological sciences. The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: 4th Year 1st Year 12 weeks: Observational biology 20 weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry 10 weeks: Quantum physics 18 weeks: Genetics, evolution, molecular biology The Curriculum 15 �The First Year The laboratory begins with 12 weeks devoted to topics in observational biology: classification of types, anatomical structure, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, and embryological development. Close observation by the naked eye or with microscopes is accompanied by constant theoretical interpretation, based on reading important works of biological scientists. Here the student confronts organisms as self-moving entities with properties of wholeness, intimately dependent on, yet distinct from, the surrounding world. The freshman laboratory next turns to the nonliving in a search for fundamental laws. Archimedes on the lever and on hydrostatics is studied, then the laws of equilibrium of gases, temperature, and calorimetry are taken up, experimentally and in discussion of the relevant theories. These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the theory that matter is composed of discrete particles. The student compares the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance and substantial change, and goes on to study and discuss important original texts bearing on the development of the atomic-molecular theory. Experiments are performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the physical and chemical transformation of which they speak. The year’s work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this determination. The Third Year The third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional divisions of physics, such as mechanics, optics, and electromagnetism. Throughout the year, experimentation is accompanied by the reading of important original writings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, and Maxwell. The mathematical tools of physics are to be put to work in the laboratory at the same time that their rigorous development is pursued in the mathematics tutorials. As the tools of the calculus become available, the emphasis shifts from a direct, qualitative description of force, acceleration, work, energy, and potential fields to their reformulation in terms of derivative and integral; at the same time, the physical concepts serve to illustrate the mathematical ideas. The concepts 16 The Curriculum of mechanics are to be used to formulate alternative theories of light — corpuscular and wave — and the success of either theory in accounting for optical phenomena is examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell’s derivation of an electromagnetic theory of light. The Fourth Year In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first semester, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism — but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrödinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. The laboratory program ends as it began — with a study of living organisms. In the spring of the senior year, students finally confront the evidence and arguments for their modern views of evolution and genetics. The semester begins with Darwin and Mendel, proceeds to a synthesis, and then traces developments in cellular and molecular biology which are thought to undergird this synthesis, as presented in seminal papers by twentieth-century biologists. In addition, this work raises questions about whether there is purpose in nature, whether there are natural kinds, what distinquishes living from non-living, whether living things have a wholeness, and if so, what is responsible for it. �THE FORMAL LECTURE The curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar, tutorial, or laboratory readings, or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students’ readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John’s faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: it inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability of what they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials.

JOHN’S LIST OF GREAT BOOKS The list of books that serves as the core of the curriculum had its beginnings at Columbia College, at the University of Chicago, and at the University of Virginia. Since 1937, it has been under continuous review at St. John’s College. The distribution of the books over the four years is significant. More than 2,000 years of intellectual history form the background of the first two years; about 300 years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. the reading into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understanding of the liberal arts; the second year ranges from the Hebrew Bible to the sixteenth-century seeds of modernity; the third year has books of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most of which were written in modern languages; the fourth year brings The list of books that constitute the core of the St. John’s Program is subject to yearly review by the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Those listed here are read at one or both campuses, although not always in their entirety. Books read in seminar are indicated by an asterisk. The chronological order in which the books are read is primarily a matter of convenience and intelligibility; it does not imply a historical approach to the subject matter. The St. John’s curriculum seeks to convey to students an understanding of the fundamental problems that human beings have to face today and at all times. It invites them to reflect both on their continuities and their discontinuities.

The title “professor” is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying the text that is the principal teacher of the class — it might be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wrote from the high point of their learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the tutors is to question, to listen, and to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration, or explanation, but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to help themselves. In order that conversations at St. John’s will not be limited to what fits neatly inside a single discipline, it is essential that St. John’s tutors re-educate themselves to acquire increased understanding in those parts of the Program that are outside their field of post-graduate training. For example, tutors with advanced degrees in mathematics would prepare themselves to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage of this for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not avert their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John’s Program. 24 The Academic Order This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the Program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and they are continually teaching their colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John’s than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up. Leaders of such groups are sometimes relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by themselves or the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John’s curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John’s. �The Instruction Committee The Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the presidents on appointments to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and 12 tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year. The full committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those annual meetings. The Library The library exists to support the academic program as well as the teaching and learning that occur in a variety of ways at St. John’s College. The books chosen for study at St. John’s form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes serving as secondary sources and representative works in the major fields of learning. The libraries on the two campuses have a total collection of over 180,000 items, including works in various languages and many diverse subject areas, with a concentration in the sciences and humanities. The library also collects periodicals and newspapers, audiovisual materials, audio recordings of faculty and Friday night lectures, faculty publications, and student prize essays. Interlibrary Loan services enable current students, faculty, and staff to request books and journal articles that are not part of the library’s collection from libraries throughout the country. In all its activities, the library seeks to participate in the program of the college and reflect its philosophy of education. spaces with subtle natural light are available for reading and contemplation. The music library is housed apart in the Mellon building, and offers sound recordings and printed scores, all available for loan. The Faith and John Meem Library opened in Santa Fe in 1990. It offers a variety of study areas designed to accommodate up to half of the student body at a given time, including two 24-hour study rooms, and a music room with listening carrels and a collection of compact discs, records, and DVDs. Both libraries hold interesting special collections, including several hundred early or first editions of works read in the Program. Most of the materials included in the Greenfield Library archival and special collections, such as St. John’s College photographs, a collection of fine art slides, college publications and records, and instruction manuals used by the tutors throughout the years, are available in the library. Some of the notable special collections available in the Greenfield Library are the collected papers and correspondence of Jacob Klein and the collected papers and correspondence of Stringfellow Barr. In addition, the Greenfield Library has retained several of the original books from the Bray Collection, dating from 1696 and known as the “first public library in America,” and possesses the Prettyman Collection of Signed and Inscribed Books, some 800 titles of first editions signed by the authors. Some of the pre-1930 materials are housed at the Maryland State Archives. The Witter Bynner Collection and the Edgar Allen Poe Collection in Santa Fe contain first editions on each poet, as well as other “belles letters.” In addition, the Santa Fe library contains a faculty and alumni publications collection and the Holtzman Music Collection. The libraries also provide public terminals for accessing the online catalog, electronic resources, and the Internet. The libraries subscribe to several electronic academic databases including JSTOR, OCLC FirstSearch (ArticleFirst/WorldCat), Oxford English Dictionary, Philosopher’s Index, and the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae. These and other databases can be accessed in the libraries, dorms, or by any computer that connects to the St. John’s network. The Greenfield Library, in Annapolis, is housed in a beautifully restored historic building that was once the Maryland Hall of Records. Comfortably situated study The Academic Order 25 �Schedules Perhaps the most distinctive mark of St. John’s College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid’s Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles’ funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. 26 The Academic Order Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods of laboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-and-one-half hours to four-and-onehalf hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six hours each week in the laboratory. Each week there are two evening seminars, lasting two hours or more. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to 19 hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of 16 weeks each. �A Sample Freshman Schedule, Annapolis HOUR 9:00 – 10:10 a.m. M O N DAY T U E S DAY Language 10:20 – 11:30 a.m. W E D N E S DAY Language Mathematics 1:00 – 3:40 p.m. Laboratory 8:00 – 10:00 p.m. T H U R S DAY Language Mathematics Chorus Seminar F R I DAY Mathematics Laboratory Seminar Formal Lecture W E D N E S DAY T H U R S DAY F R I DAY Mathematics Mathematics A Sample Freshman Schedule, Santa Fe HOUR 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. M O N DAY Mathematics Music 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. T U E S DAY Language Laboratory Seminar Language Language Laboratory Seminar Formal Lecture ESSAYS AND EXAMINATIONS The Algebra Examination Annually in Annapolis and each semester in Santa Fe, all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors submit essays to their seminar leaders on some aspect of the liberal arts. These essays are based directly upon books in the Program. Before the second semester of their sophomore year, students must pass an examination in elementary algebra and trigonometry. Review sessions are offered. Oral Examinations Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are conducted for each student by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of their study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of their classes. For freshmen, the first oral examination of the year is given before the winter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin. The Final Essay and Oral Examination In the senior year, the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of the four years’ work. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at the start of the second semester are reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes. If the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined about it by the committee in an hour-long public examination. No degree is awarded unless both the essay and the oral examination are satisfactory. The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student’s learning. The Academic Order 27 �In the junior year, conferences replace some of the don rags. In conferences, students report on their own work, and then the tutors comment on that report. By the time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student’s work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. Letter Grades ACADEMIC STANDING Because St. John’s classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students’ progress from day to day. The tutors’ appraisals of a student are based on the student’s total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance, and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of ability and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John’s is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for grades. Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John’s, attendance at all regularly scheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. The Don Rag Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a semester, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors meet with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students’ work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors’ reports and comment on their own work. Advice may be requested and given; difficulties may be aired; but grades are not reported or discussed. 28 The Academic Order Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on request. The tutor’s comprehensive judgment of a student is reported to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, D or F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has stopped, the student is asked to leave the college. Sophomore Enabling Sophomore enabling is a review by the Instruction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of sophomores, of the student’s learning during the two years spent in the college. The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling procedure. Consequently, no students are enabled to enter the junior class unless they have written a satisfactory essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are sufficiently prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student writing an acceptable senior essay. �THE ST. JOHN’S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS The student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfactorily is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, and they spend their first summer completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John’s seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately 134 semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN’S • 9.4% choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreign service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ecology. Approximately 70% of our alumni pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with around 15% of each graduating class entering graduate and professional programs directly after St. Johns. Doctoral degrees earned by St. John’s alumni split about evenly between humanities and science/mathematics. Our students consistently score above the national average on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). The Career Services office on each campus assists students in planning for advanced study and in preparing their applications. In a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John’s alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John’s graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 21.9% are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • 18.8% are in communications or the arts; • 17.3% are in business or business-related occupations; • 9.7% work in the field of law, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 9.4% work in computers/sciences/mathematics; • 6.9% work in the health professions, mainly as physicians; • 6.6% work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry; The Academic Order 29 �THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION The Graduate Institute at St. John’s College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, inspired by that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or great books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from adults with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS The aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts degree (36 semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely integrated program of study. Classes are small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which 14 to 19 students engage in a discussion initiated by a tutor’s question about the assigned reading. In the 30 The Graduate Institute tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students focuses more intensively on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students, engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the 16-week fall and spring terms, and usually two to four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet five days a week and start earlier in the day. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master’s essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools. �THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM** Literature SEMINAR Homer: Iliad, Odyssey Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Libation Bearers, Eumenides Sophocles: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone Euripides: Hippolytus, Bacchae, Electra Aristophanes: Frogs TUTORIAL Chaucer: Canterbury Tales in Middle English* Shakespeare: King Lear Aristotle: Poetics Selected English lyric poetry Mathematics and Natural Science History SEMINAR Herodotus: Histories* Thucydides: Peloponnesian War* Livy: Early History of Rome* Polybius: Histories* Plutarch: “Caesar” and “Cato the Younger” Tacitus: Annals* Tocqueville: The Old Regime and the French Revolution* Plato: Timaeus* Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Aristotle: Physics* Ptolemy: Almagest* Galileo: Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems* Darwin: The Origin of Species* Freud: Selected Works SEMINAR TUTORIAL TUTORIAL Cervantes: Don Quixote Joyce: Ulysses Virgil: Aeneid Eliot: Middlemarch Dostoevski: The Brothers Karamazov Light: Aristotle, Descartes, Huygens, and Newton Lavoisier: Elements of Chemistry Maxwell: Theory of Heat Bacon and the Principles of Natural Philosophy Galileo: Two New Sciences Augustine: The City of God* Vico: The New Science* Kant: Idea of a Universal History Herder: Ideas Toward the Philosophy of the History of Mankind* Hegel: Philosophy of History* Marx: The German Ideology Nietzsche: Uses and Abuses of History for Life Dilthey: Introduction to the Human Sciences* Collingwood: The Idea of History* Strauss: Political Philosophy and History* Politics and Society Philosophy and Theology PRECEPTORIAL SEMINAR SEMINAR Plutarch: “Lycurgus” and “Solon” Plato: Republic Aristotle: Politics* Machiavelli: The Prince Locke: Second Treatise of Civil Government Rousseau: On the Origin and Foundations of Inequality Marx: The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844* Tocqueville: Democracy in America* Genesis Exodus Job Matthew Romans Augustine: Confessions* Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologica* Kant: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals Kierkegaard: Philosophical Fragments TUTORIAL TUTORIAL Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics* Thomas Aquinas: Treatise on Law* Hobbes: Leviathan* Declaration of Independence Articles of Confederation U.S. Constitution Hamilton, Jay, and Madison: The Federalist* Selected U.S. Supreme Court Decisions Plato: Meno Aristotle: Metaphysics* Descartes: Meditations Hume: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding Kant: Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics Nietzsche: Beyond Good and Evil* Euclid: Elements* Lobachevski: The Theory of Parallels* PRECEPTORIAL PRECEPTORIAL (sample offerings) (sample offerings) PRECEPTORIAL ** Readings may differ slightly between campuses * Selections (sample offerings) Montesquieu: The Spirit of the Laws Shakespeare: The history plays Smith: The Wealth of Nations Rousseau: Emile Hegel: The Philosophy of Right Tolstoy: War and Peace Machiavelli: The Florentine Histories Weber: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism Arendt: The Origins of Totalitarianism PRECEPTORIAL (sample offerings) (sample offerings) Aristotle: On the Soul Heidegger: Selected Works Spinoza: Ethics Wittgenstein: Philosophical Investigations Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathustra The Graduate Institute 31 �DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS The aim of the Eastern Classics program is to help students seek a deeper understanding of the fundamental and enduring questions that have been raised by thoughtful human beings in the rich traditions of the East. Its course of study consists of 34 semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Santa Fe campus. The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. In the seminar, 14 to 18 students discuss assigned readings from a wide range of Indian, Chinese, and Japanese texts. In the tutorial, students study either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. The goal is not mastery, but rather sufficient familiarity with the elements of the languages to gain some insight into their structure and to 32 The Graduate Institute translate selected short passages from classical texts. In the preceptorial, students study a single work or theme for an eight-week period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged. �THE EASTERN CLASSICS CURRICULUM Fall Semester Spring Semester CHINESE TUTORIAL CHINESE TUTORIAL (sample offerings) (sample offerings) Pronunciation & grammar Confucius: Analects* Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching* T’ang Poetry Mencius: Works* PRECEPTORIAL SANSKRIT TUTORIAL SANSKRIT TUTORIAL (sample offerings) Gonda, A Concise Elementary Grammar of the Sanskrit Language Devanagari script (sample offerings) Bhagavad-Gita* Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra* SEMINAR SEMINAR Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching Confucius: Analects, The Great Learning and The Doctrine of the Mean Mo Tzu: Basic Writings of Mo Tzu* Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Mencius: Works* Hsün Tzu: Writings of Hsün Tzu* Han Fei Tzu: Writings of Han Fei Tzu* Sima Qian: The Grand Scribe’s Records* I Ching Rig Veda Brhadaranyaka Upanishad Kena Upanishad Mundaka Upanishad Katha Upanishad Ishvara Krishna: Sankhya Karika Tattva-Kaumudi* Patanjali: Yoga Sutra Jayadeva: Gitagovinda PRECEPTORIAL (sample offerings) Mahabharata (required) I Ching (sample offerings) Confucius: Analects Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Lao Tzu: Basic Writings Hui-Neng: Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch Chu Hsi: Chu Tzu ch’uan-shu, and Chu Tzu wen-chi Kalidasa: Shakuntala, Kumarasambhava and Meghaduta Jaimini: Mimamsa Sutra* Kumarila Bhatta: Shlokavartika Katha Upanishad Institutes of Manu Kautilya: Artha-Shastra Kama Sutra* Mahabharata Bhagavad-Gita Abhinavagupta: Dhvanyaloka* Jayarasi Bhatta: Tattvopaplavasimha* Ashvaghosha: Buddhacarita Majjhima Nikaya* Vimalakirti Sutra* Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra Chandrakirti: Prasannapada Lankavatara Sutra* Guadapada: The Great Karika on the Mandukya Upanishad Shankara: Commentary on the Vedanta Sutras T’ao Ch’ien: Record of the Peach Blossom Fountainhead Chinese Poetry* Diamond Sutra Heart Sutra (sample offerings) Rig Veda Upanishads Ts’ao Hsüeh-Ch’in: Story of the Stone Sima Qian: The Grand Scribe’s Records Neo-Confucian Texts Chinese Vernacular Prose of the Ming Dynasty Summer Semester SEMINAR The Tale of the Heike Lotus Sutra Sei Shonagon: The Pillow Book* Kenko: Essays in Idleness Dogen: Shobogenzo* Basho: The Narrow Road to the Deep North Chushingura: The Treasury of Loyal Retainers PRECEPTORIAL (sample offerings) Murasaki Shikibu: The Tale of Genji (required) *selections The Graduate Institute 33 �BIBLIOGRAPHY Books About Liberal Education Adler, Mortimer J., and Charles Van Doren: How to Read a Book, Simon and Schuster, 1972.

Liberally educated persons, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John’s College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great books — texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures — because they are both timeless and timely. These books are the most important teachers. They illuminate the persisting questions of human existence and they bear directly on the problems we face today. They express most originally, and often most perfectly, the ideas by which contemporary life is knowingly or unknowingly governed. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not of merely academic concern, nor is it remote from our true interests. They change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human questions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treatises, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for 6 The Introduction �each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other, and they draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. This conversation, however, is unavoidably one sided. The books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To overcome this limitation is the goal of the St. John’s seminar. Here a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, attempt to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing to submit their opinions to one another’s questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. It may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are — to help students gain understanding and make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they face. And it is the ultimate aim of the Program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John’s takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John’s seeks to restore the true meaning of liberal education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic — the arts of language; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy — the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experimentation, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. They all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely and critically for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to know the world around them and to know themselves in this world, and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the constraint of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. The aim of the education offered by St. John’s College is the liberation of the human intellect. This is an education for all, regardless of a person’s race, ethnicity, sex, religious beliefs, country of origin, economic background, age, disability or sexual orientation. By reading great books and struggling together with the fundamental questions that they raise, students and their teachers learn from their differences and discover more deeply their shared humanity. In this and other ways, a diversity of background and experience enriches our community of learning. Because it offers an education for all, St. John’s College has sought and continues to seek to make its program of study known and available to people of diverse backgrounds. The Introduction 7 �THE CURRICULUM The Seminar The heart of the curriculum is the seminar—a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar 17 to 21 students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, for two hours — sometimes longer if the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around 80 pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. The seminar begins with a question asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists mostly of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not just to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at will. The resulting informality is tempered by the use of formal modes of address. Once under way, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and aggression and to bring to the surface the students’ opinions and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity’s ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading, but bear only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the Coffee Shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument — an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and trying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn that to some extent the procedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy, and it can require a different approach. Such progress in learning together may be crowned by sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of “following the argument,” of facing the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question remains open but with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the “right” opinion or interpretation. It is 8 The Curriculum �subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer them. Students may suggest a topic and invite a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the Program, some preceptorials may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more than 10 students in a preceptorial. Guided by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by the seminar. Usually, the students’ work is completed by some form of written work, either a formal paper or a presentation to the class. Listed below are some of the preceptorial subjects offered on the two campuses in recent years. to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections and to help the students in every way possible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question “Why?” But the leaders may also take a definite and positive stand and enter directly into the argument. If they do so, however, they can expect no special consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. Consequently, all opinions must be defended with reason, and any single opinion can prevail only by general consent. The aim is always to develop the students’ powers of reason and understanding and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, sophomore, and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes a major part of the process called enabling (see page 28). THE PRECEPTORIAL For seven to eight weeks at the end of the first semester, seminars of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually given a choice of 25 to 30 preceptorials on books or Heidegger: Being and Time Design and Expression in the Visual Arts Joyce: Ulysses Saussure: Course in General Linguistics Readings in Lao Tsu and Confucius Aristotle: Metaphysics Darwin: Natural Selection Plato: Republic Marquez: One Hundred Years of Solitude Galileo: Dialogues on the Two Chief World Systems Shakespeare: Selected Plays Metaphysical Poets Bosch and Bruegel Kant: Critique of Judgment Hobbes: Leviathan Augustine: City of God Austen: Selected Novels Faraday: Experimental Researches in Electricity and Magnetism Ethical Problems in Medicine Thucydides: The Peloponnesian War The Curriculum 9 �THE TUTORIALS The seminar cannot suffice as the only setting for liberal education. By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and writing. Other learning experiences must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, seated around a table, 13 to 16 students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to work together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstration, of an important work. As in the seminar, students talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and insight to one another. Other tutors occasionally attend, seeking to learn about a particular subject that they may later teach. Writing is assigned regularly in all classes: mathematics, music, and laboratory sections, as well as in language tutorials. The students are thus called upon continually to articulate and organize their thinking in both the written and spoken forms. The Language Tutorial Specialization in higher education has led to a profound neglect of language skills. As country is separated from country by the barrier of language, so profession is separated from profession by technical jargon. Primarily, the language tutorial attempts to remedy this condition by training in the means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and ambiguities of terms; to the role of metaphors, analogies, and images; and to the logical relations that connect propositions. 10 The Curriculum The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years; French in the third and fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the students learn something of the nature of languages in general and of their own in particular. During the four years, then, they study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, they study their own language. They discover the resources of articulate speech and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent, and effective — if it is to be adequate and persuasive. In the beginning, the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language being studied. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one that is concerned with particular details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work. Those are matters that do not come directly into seminar discussions. The students’ concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign language, but the students can reasonably expect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they study. To experience the individuality of another language is to extend the boundaries of one’s sensibility. �The choice of foreign languages is in part dictated by the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary. Latin and German might be used without changing the pattern and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes well with the freshman seminar and mathematics tutorial, and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of the first. The second year ends with analysis and discussion of works by Shakespeare, Donne, and other English poets. The French of the third year begins with a brief, intensive study of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading of simple French. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form and content are related to appropriate writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of their models. In the second semester a play is read — usually Racine’s Phèdre. The principal activity of the fourth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal. Its immediate object is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of language. Writing assignments include exercises in transla- tion more ambitious than those attempted in the third year. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Robert Frost, W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. The Mathematics Tutorial Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested by the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning “to learn.” It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathematical. It is equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John’s is studied as a liberal art, not artificially separated from what have come to be called the humanities. When mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for their elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John’s, mathematics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal art but also one that provides ready access to others and significant analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studying mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines it. Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarity The Curriculum 11 �Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? What is the relation of logic to mathematics? What do “better” and “worse,” “ugly” and “beautiful” signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are there “mathematical objects”? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. with the mathematical methods by which it is managed, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their application. It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to help students to think about what it means to count and measure things in the universe. The second main reason for studying mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically. Since mathematics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human capacity for learning, its study is especially useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know something. To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: 12 The Curriculum The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid’s organization of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects — its central expression found in the theory of ratios — which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy’s Almagest, centering their attention on the problem of “hypotheses” constructed to “save the appearances” in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between the mathematics tutorial at St. John’s and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: his work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study Copernicus’ transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into heliocentric form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an understanding of algebra as the “analytic art” in general. �In the third year, students study calculus analytically in its modern form, originally in Leibniz’s work, and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. In the second semester, students take up Newton’s treatment of astronomy in the Principia, in which he brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomy with a “dynamic” theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The year concludes with an examination of Dedekind’s theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski’s approach to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature of the geometric art as a whole. Seniors also study Einstein’s special theory of relativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. The Music Tutorial One of the aims of the St. John’s Program has been to restore music as part of the liberal arts curriculum. The study of music at St. John’s is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind’s power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the ratios among whole numbers. In particular, the music program at St. John’s aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year, students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place primarily by singing, and by the second semester the students perform some of the great choral works. In the sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides continuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoric, and poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial includes an investigation of rhythm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the diatonic system, a study of the ratios of musical intervals, and a consideration of melody, counterpoint, and harmony. None of these are done apart from the sounding reality of good music. The inventions of Bach, the songs of Schubert, the masses of Palestrina, the St. Matthew Passion of Bach, the operas of Mozart, and the instrumental works of Beethoven are the real teachers. In the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. The Curriculum 13 �THE LABORATORY Three hundred years ago, algebra and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by René Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, politics, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the St. John’s Program and one that the college takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last two years of the Program exhibit the farreaching changes that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period from Homer to Descartes. Modern mathematics has made possible the exploration of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast project of study conceived by the great thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. St. John’s has a three-year laboratory in the natural sciences. In the laboratory, students pursue characteristic and related topics in physics, biology, and chemistry. The art of measurement involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measurement; in practica, students reproduce crucial experiments; and, throughout, the interplay of hypothesis, theory, and fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is supported by the mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques. The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research. It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills. The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the humanities, as if they were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. Different fields of exploration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems from sources common to all intellectual life. 14 The Curriculum The Organization of the Laboratory Work The laboratory program is largely determined by three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the study of science: (1) The formally scheduled experimental work must be combined with a full and free discussion of the instruments and principles involved in it. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific discipline to its roots in principle, assumption, and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters are selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (3) The schedule of laboratory work should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation. The students must have time to satisfy themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can they come to a mature understanding of the sciences called “exact.” A laboratory section consists of 14 to 16 students working under the guidance of a tutor, with the help of more advanced students serving as assistants. Sections meet two or three times a week. A laboratory session may be used for exposition and discussion of theory, for experimentation, or for both, as the progress of the work requires. In most cases, the basis for discussion is a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Harvey, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. �Laboratory Topics 3rd Year Topics in physics: mechanics, optics, heat, electricity, magnetism The general topics of study have been chosen from elementary physical and biological sciences. The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: 4th Year 1st Year 12 weeks: Observational biology 20 weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry 10 weeks: Quantum physics 18 weeks: Genetics, evolution, molecular biology The Curriculum 15 �The First Year The laboratory begins with 12 weeks devoted to topics in observational biology: classification of types, anatomical structure, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, and embryological development. Close observation by the naked eye or with microscopes is accompanied by constant theoretical interpretation, based on reading important works of biological scientists. Here the student confronts organisms as self-moving entities with properties of wholeness, intimately dependent on, yet distinct from, the surrounding world. The freshman laboratory next turns to the nonliving in a search for fundamental laws. Archimedes on the lever and on hydrostatics is studied, then the laws of equilibrium of gases, temperature, and calorimetry are taken up, experimentally and in discussion of the relevant theories. These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the theory that matter is composed of discrete particles. The student compares the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance and substantial change, and goes on to study and discuss important original texts bearing on the development of the atomic-molecular theory. Experiments are performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the physical and chemical transformation of which they speak. The year’s work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this determination. The Third Year The third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional divisions of physics, such as mechanics, optics, and electromagnetism. Throughout the year, experimentation is accompanied by the reading of important original writings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, and Maxwell. The mathematical tools of physics are to be put to work in the laboratory at the same time that their rigorous development is pursued in the mathematics tutorials. As the tools of the calculus become available, the emphasis shifts from a direct, qualitative description of force, acceleration, work, energy, and potential fields to their reformulation in terms of derivative and integral; at the same time, the physical concepts serve to illustrate the mathematical ideas. The concepts 16 The Curriculum of mechanics are to be used to formulate alternative theories of light — corpuscular and wave — and the success of either theory in accounting for optical phenomena is examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell’s derivation of an electromagnetic theory of light. The Fourth Year In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first semester, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism — but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrödinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. The laboratory program ends as it began — with a study of living organisms. In the spring of the senior year, students finally confront the evidence and arguments for their modern views of evolution and genetics. The semester begins with Darwin and Mendel, proceeds to a synthesis, and then traces developments in cellular and molecular biology which are thought to undergird this synthesis, as presented in seminal papers by twentieth-century biologists. In addition, this work raises questions about whether there is purpose in nature, whether there are natural kinds, what distinquishes living from non-living, whether living things have a wholeness, and if so, what is responsible for it. �THE FORMAL LECTURE The curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar, tutorial, or laboratory readings, or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students’ readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John’s faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: it inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability of what they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials. The Curriculum 17 �Lectures and Concerts The following list provides some examples of lectures and concerts given on one or the other campus in recent years: “Reading, Writing, Listening, Talking” Eva Brann “Quantum Phenomena” Mark Rollins Bill Charlap Jazz Trio “Wordsworth and Keats” Ronald Sharp “On Reading the U.S. Constitution as a Great Book” William Braithwaite “T.S.

JOHN’S LIST OF GREAT BOOKS The list of books that serves as the core of the curriculum had its beginnings at Columbia College, at the University of Chicago, and at the University of Virginia. Since 1937, it has been under continuous review at St. John’s College. The distribution of the books over the four years is significant. More than 2,000 years of intellectual history form the background of the first two years; about 300 years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. the reading into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understanding of the liberal arts; the second year ranges from the Hebrew Bible to the sixteenth-century seeds of modernity; the third year has books of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most of which were written in modern languages; the fourth year brings The list of books that constitute the core of the St. John’s Program is subject to yearly review by the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Those listed here are read at one or both campuses, although not always in their entirety. Books read in seminar are indicated by an asterisk. The chronological order in which the books are read is primarily a matter of convenience and intelligibility; it does not imply a historical approach to the subject matter. The St. John’s curriculum seeks to convey to students an understanding of the fundamental problems that human beings have to face today and at all times. It invites them to reflect both on their continuities and their discontinuities.

The title “professor” is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying the text that is the principal teacher of the class — it might be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wrote from the high point of their learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the tutors is to question, to listen, and to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration, or explanation, but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to help themselves. In order that conversations at St. John’s will not be limited to what fits neatly inside a single discipline, it is essential that St. John’s tutors re-educate themselves to acquire increased understanding in those parts of the Program that are outside their field of post-graduate training. For example, tutors with advanced degrees in mathematics would prepare themselves to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage of this for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not avert their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John’s Program. 24 The Academic Order This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the Program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and they are continually teaching their colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John’s than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up. Leaders of such groups are sometimes relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by themselves or the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John’s curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John’s. �The Instruction Committee The Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the presidents on appointments to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and 12 tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year. The full committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those annual meetings. The Library The library exists to support the academic program as well as the teaching and learning that occur in a variety of ways at St. John’s College. The books chosen for study at St. John’s form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes serving as secondary sources and representative works in the major fields of learning. The libraries on the two campuses have a total collection of over 180,000 items, including works in various languages and many diverse subject areas, with a concentration in the sciences and humanities. The library also collects periodicals and newspapers, audiovisual materials, audio recordings of faculty and Friday night lectures, faculty publications, and student prize essays. Interlibrary Loan services enable current students, faculty, and staff to request books and journal articles that are not part of the library’s collection from libraries throughout the country. In all its activities, the library seeks to participate in the program of the college and reflect its philosophy of education. spaces with subtle natural light are available for reading and contemplation. The music library is housed apart in the Mellon building, and offers sound recordings and printed scores, all available for loan. The Faith and John Meem Library opened in Santa Fe in 1990. It offers a variety of study areas designed to accommodate up to half of the student body at a given time, including two 24-hour study rooms, and a music room with listening carrels and a collection of compact discs, records, and DVDs. Both libraries hold interesting special collections, including several hundred early or first editions of works read in the Program. Most of the materials included in the Greenfield Library archival and special collections, such as St. John’s College photographs, a collection of fine art slides, college publications and records, and instruction manuals used by the tutors throughout the years, are available in the library. Some of the notable special collections available in the Greenfield Library are the collected papers and correspondence of Jacob Klein and the collected papers and correspondence of Stringfellow Barr. In addition, the Greenfield Library has retained several of the original books from the Bray Collection, dating from 1696 and known as the “first public library in America,” and possesses the Prettyman Collection of Signed and Inscribed Books, some 800 titles of first editions signed by the authors. Some of the pre-1930 materials are housed at the Maryland State Archives. The Witter Bynner Collection and the Edgar Allen Poe Collection in Santa Fe contain first editions on each poet, as well as other “belles letters.” In addition, the Santa Fe library contains a faculty and alumni publications collection and the Holtzman Music Collection. The libraries also provide public terminals for accessing the online catalog, electronic resources, and the Internet. The libraries subscribe to several electronic academic databases including JSTOR, OCLC FirstSearch (ArticleFirst/WorldCat), Oxford English Dictionary, Philosopher’s Index, and the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae. These and other databases can be accessed in the libraries, dorms, or by any computer that connects to the St. John’s network. The Greenfield Library, in Annapolis, is housed in a beautifully restored historic building that was once the Maryland Hall of Records. Comfortably situated study The Academic Order 25 �Schedules Perhaps the most distinctive mark of St. John’s College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid’s Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles’ funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. 26 The Academic Order Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods of laboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-and-one-half hours to four-and-onehalf hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six hours each week in the laboratory. Each week there are two evening seminars, lasting two hours or more. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to 19 hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of 16 weeks each. �A Sample Freshman Schedule, Annapolis HOUR 9:00 – 10:10 a.m. M O N DAY T U E S DAY Language 10:20 – 11:30 a.m. W E D N E S DAY Language Mathematics 1:00 – 3:40 p.m. Laboratory 8:00 – 10:00 p.m. T H U R S DAY Language Mathematics Chorus Seminar F R I DAY Mathematics Laboratory Seminar Formal Lecture W E D N E S DAY T H U R S DAY F R I DAY Mathematics Mathematics A Sample Freshman Schedule, Santa Fe HOUR 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. M O N DAY Mathematics Music 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. T U E S DAY Language Laboratory Seminar Language Language Laboratory Seminar Formal Lecture ESSAYS AND EXAMINATIONS The Algebra Examination Annually in Annapolis and each semester in Santa Fe, all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors submit essays to their seminar leaders on some aspect of the liberal arts. These essays are based directly upon books in the Program. Before the second semester of their sophomore year, students must pass an examination in elementary algebra and trigonometry. Review sessions are offered. Oral Examinations Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are conducted for each student by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of their study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of their classes. For freshmen, the first oral examination of the year is given before the winter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin. The Final Essay and Oral Examination In the senior year, the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of the four years’ work. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at the start of the second semester are reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes. If the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined about it by the committee in an hour-long public examination. No degree is awarded unless both the essay and the oral examination are satisfactory. The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student’s learning. The Academic Order 27 �In the junior year, conferences replace some of the don rags. In conferences, students report on their own work, and then the tutors comment on that report. By the time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student’s work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. Letter Grades ACADEMIC STANDING Because St. John’s classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students’ progress from day to day. The tutors’ appraisals of a student are based on the student’s total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance, and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of ability and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John’s is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for grades. Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John’s, attendance at all regularly scheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. The Don Rag Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a semester, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors meet with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students’ work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors’ reports and comment on their own work. Advice may be requested and given; difficulties may be aired; but grades are not reported or discussed. 28 The Academic Order Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on request. The tutor’s comprehensive judgment of a student is reported to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, D or F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has stopped, the student is asked to leave the college. Sophomore Enabling Sophomore enabling is a review by the Instruction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of sophomores, of the student’s learning during the two years spent in the college. The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling procedure. Consequently, no students are enabled to enter the junior class unless they have written a satisfactory essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are sufficiently prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student writing an acceptable senior essay. �THE ST. JOHN’S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS The student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfactorily is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, and they spend their first summer completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John’s seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately 134 semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN’S • 9.4% choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreign service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ecology. Approximately 70% of our alumni pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with around 15% of each graduating class entering graduate and professional programs directly after St. Johns. Doctoral degrees earned by St. John’s alumni split about evenly between humanities and science/mathematics. Our students consistently score above the national average on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). The Career Services office on each campus assists students in planning for advanced study and in preparing their applications. In a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John’s alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John’s graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 21.9% are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • 18.8% are in communications or the arts; • 17.3% are in business or business-related occupations; • 9.7% work in the field of law, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 9.4% work in computers/sciences/mathematics; • 6.9% work in the health professions, mainly as physicians; • 6.6% work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry; The Academic Order 29 �THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION The Graduate Institute at St. John’s College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, inspired by that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or great books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from adults with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS The aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts degree (36 semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely integrated program of study. Classes are small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which 14 to 19 students engage in a discussion initiated by a tutor’s question about the assigned reading. In the 30 The Graduate Institute tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students focuses more intensively on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students, engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the 16-week fall and spring terms, and usually two to four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet five days a week and start earlier in the day. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses.

Its course of study consists of 34 semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Santa Fe campus. The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. In the seminar, 14 to 18 students discuss assigned readings from a wide range of Indian, Chinese, and Japanese texts. In the tutorial, students study either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. The goal is not mastery, but rather sufficient familiarity with the elements of the languages to gain some insight into their structure and to 32 The Graduate Institute translate selected short passages from classical texts. In the preceptorial, students study a single work or theme for an eight-week period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged. �THE EASTERN CLASSICS CURRICULUM Fall Semester Spring Semester CHINESE TUTORIAL CHINESE TUTORIAL (sample offerings) (sample offerings) Pronunciation & grammar Confucius: Analects* Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching* T’ang Poetry Mencius: Works* PRECEPTORIAL SANSKRIT TUTORIAL SANSKRIT TUTORIAL (sample offerings) Gonda, A Concise Elementary Grammar of the Sanskrit Language Devanagari script (sample offerings) Bhagavad-Gita* Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra* SEMINAR SEMINAR Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching Confucius: Analects, The Great Learning and The Doctrine of the Mean Mo Tzu: Basic Writings of Mo Tzu* Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Mencius: Works* Hsün Tzu: Writings of Hsün Tzu* Han Fei Tzu: Writings of Han Fei Tzu* Sima Qian: The Grand Scribe’s Records* I Ching Rig Veda Brhadaranyaka Upanishad Kena Upanishad Mundaka Upanishad Katha Upanishad Ishvara Krishna: Sankhya Karika Tattva-Kaumudi* Patanjali: Yoga Sutra Jayadeva: Gitagovinda PRECEPTORIAL (sample offerings) Mahabharata (required) I Ching (sample offerings) Confucius: Analects Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Lao Tzu: Basic Writings Hui-Neng: Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch Chu Hsi: Chu Tzu ch’uan-shu, and Chu Tzu wen-chi Kalidasa: Shakuntala, Kumarasambhava and Meghaduta Jaimini: Mimamsa Sutra* Kumarila Bhatta: Shlokavartika Katha Upanishad Institutes of Manu Kautilya: Artha-Shastra Kama Sutra* Mahabharata Bhagavad-Gita Abhinavagupta: Dhvanyaloka* Jayarasi Bhatta: Tattvopaplavasimha* Ashvaghosha: Buddhacarita Majjhima Nikaya* Vimalakirti Sutra* Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra Chandrakirti: Prasannapada Lankavatara Sutra* Guadapada: The Great Karika on the Mandukya Upanishad Shankara: Commentary on the Vedanta Sutras T’ao Ch’ien: Record of the Peach Blossom Fountainhead Chinese Poetry* Diamond Sutra Heart Sutra (sample offerings) Rig Veda Upanishads Ts’ao Hsüeh-Ch’in: Story of the Stone Sima Qian: The Grand Scribe’s Records Neo-Confucian Texts Chinese Vernacular Prose of the Ming Dynasty Summer Semester SEMINAR The Tale of the Heike Lotus Sutra Sei Shonagon: The Pillow Book* Kenko: Essays in Idleness Dogen: Shobogenzo* Basho: The Narrow Road to the Deep North Chushingura: The Treasury of Loyal Retainers PRECEPTORIAL (sample offerings) Murasaki Shikibu: The Tale of Genji (required) *selections The Graduate Institute 33 �BIBLIOGRAPHY Books About Liberal Education Adler, Mortimer J., and Charles Van Doren: How to Read a Book, Simon and Schuster, 1972.

Liberally educated persons, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John’s College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great books — texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures — because they are both timeless and timely. These books are the most important teachers. They illuminate the persisting questions of human existence and they bear directly on the problems we face today. They express most originally, and often most perfectly, the ideas by which contemporary life is knowingly or unknowingly governed. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not of merely academic concern, nor is it remote from our true interests. They change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human questions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treatises, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for 6 The Introduction �each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other, and they draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. This conversation, however, is unavoidably one sided. The books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To overcome this limitation is the goal of the St. John’s seminar. Here a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, attempt to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing to submit their opinions to one another’s questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. It may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are — to help students gain understanding and make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they face. And it is the ultimate aim of the Program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John’s takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John’s seeks to restore the true meaning of liberal education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic — the arts of language; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy — the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experimentation, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. They all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely and critically for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to know the world around them and to know themselves in this world, and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the constraint of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. The aim of the education offered by St. John’s College is the liberation of the human intellect. This is an education for all, regardless of a person’s race, ethnicity, sex, religious beliefs, country of origin, economic background, age, disability or sexual orientation. By reading great books and struggling together with the fundamental questions that they raise, students and their teachers learn from their differences and discover more deeply their shared humanity. In this and other ways, a diversity of background and experience enriches our community of learning. Because it offers an education for all, St. John’s College has sought and continues to seek to make its program of study known and available to people of diverse backgrounds. The Introduction 7 �THE CURRICULUM The Seminar The heart of the curriculum is the seminar—a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar 17 to 21 students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, for two hours — sometimes longer if the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around 80 pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. The seminar begins with a question asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists mostly of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not just to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at will. The resulting informality is tempered by the use of formal modes of address. Once under way, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and aggression and to bring to the surface the students’ opinions and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity’s ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading, but bear only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the Coffee Shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument — an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and trying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn that to some extent the procedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy, and it can require a different approach. Such progress in learning together may be crowned by sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of “following the argument,” of facing the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question remains open but with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the “right” opinion or interpretation. It is 8 The Curriculum �subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer them. Students may suggest a topic and invite a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the Program, some preceptorials may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more than 10 students in a preceptorial. Guided by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by the seminar. Usually, the students’ work is completed by some form of written work, either a formal paper or a presentation to the class. Listed below are some of the preceptorial subjects offered on the two campuses in recent years. to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections and to help the students in every way possible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question “Why?” But the leaders may also take a definite and positive stand and enter directly into the argument. If they do so, however, they can expect no special consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. Consequently, all opinions must be defended with reason, and any single opinion can prevail only by general consent. The aim is always to develop the students’ powers of reason and understanding and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, sophomore, and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes a major part of the process called enabling (see page 28). THE PRECEPTORIAL For seven to eight weeks at the end of the first semester, seminars of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually given a choice of 25 to 30 preceptorials on books or Heidegger: Being and Time Design and Expression in the Visual Arts Joyce: Ulysses Saussure: Course in General Linguistics Readings in Lao Tsu and Confucius Aristotle: Metaphysics Darwin: Natural Selection Plato: Republic Marquez: One Hundred Years of Solitude Galileo: Dialogues on the Two Chief World Systems Shakespeare: Selected Plays Metaphysical Poets Bosch and Bruegel Kant: Critique of Judgment Hobbes: Leviathan Augustine: City of God Austen: Selected Novels Faraday: Experimental Researches in Electricity and Magnetism Ethical Problems in Medicine Thucydides: The Peloponnesian War The Curriculum 9 �THE TUTORIALS The seminar cannot suffice as the only setting for liberal education. By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and writing. Other learning experiences must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, seated around a table, 13 to 16 students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to work together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstration, of an important work. As in the seminar, students talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and insight to one another. Other tutors occasionally attend, seeking to learn about a particular subject that they may later teach. Writing is assigned regularly in all classes: mathematics, music, and laboratory sections, as well as in language tutorials. The students are thus called upon continually to articulate and organize their thinking in both the written and spoken forms. The Language Tutorial Specialization in higher education has led to a profound neglect of language skills. As country is separated from country by the barrier of language, so profession is separated from profession by technical jargon. Primarily, the language tutorial attempts to remedy this condition by training in the means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and ambiguities of terms; to the role of metaphors, analogies, and images; and to the logical relations that connect propositions. 10 The Curriculum The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years; French in the third and fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the students learn something of the nature of languages in general and of their own in particular. During the four years, then, they study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, they study their own language. They discover the resources of articulate speech and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent, and effective — if it is to be adequate and persuasive. In the beginning, the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language being studied. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one that is concerned with particular details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work. Those are matters that do not come directly into seminar discussions. The students’ concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign language, but the students can reasonably expect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they study. To experience the individuality of another language is to extend the boundaries of one’s sensibility. �The choice of foreign languages is in part dictated by the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary. Latin and German might be used without changing the pattern and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes well with the freshman seminar and mathematics tutorial, and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of the first. The second year ends with analysis and discussion of works by Shakespeare, Donne, and other English poets. The French of the third year begins with a brief, intensive study of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading of simple French. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form and content are related to appropriate writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of their models. In the second semester a play is read — usually Racine’s Phèdre. The principal activity of the fourth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal. Its immediate object is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of language. Writing assignments include exercises in transla- tion more ambitious than those attempted in the third year. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Robert Frost, W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. The Mathematics Tutorial Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested by the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning “to learn.” It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathematical. It is equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John’s is studied as a liberal art, not artificially separated from what have come to be called the humanities. When mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for their elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John’s, mathematics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal art but also one that provides ready access to others and significant analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studying mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines it. Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarity The Curriculum 11 �Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? What is the relation of logic to mathematics? What do “better” and “worse,” “ugly” and “beautiful” signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are there “mathematical objects”? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. with the mathematical methods by which it is managed, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their application. It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to help students to think about what it means to count and measure things in the universe. The second main reason for studying mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically. Since mathematics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human capacity for learning, its study is especially useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know something. To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: 12 The Curriculum The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid’s organization of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects — its central expression found in the theory of ratios — which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy’s Almagest, centering their attention on the problem of “hypotheses” constructed to “save the appearances” in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between the mathematics tutorial at St. John’s and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: his work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study Copernicus’ transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into heliocentric form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an understanding of algebra as the “analytic art” in general. �In the third year, students study calculus analytically in its modern form, originally in Leibniz’s work, and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. In the second semester, students take up Newton’s treatment of astronomy in the Principia, in which he brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomy with a “dynamic” theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The year concludes with an examination of Dedekind’s theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski’s approach to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature of the geometric art as a whole. Seniors also study Einstein’s special theory of relativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. The Music Tutorial One of the aims of the St. John’s Program has been to restore music as part of the liberal arts curriculum. The study of music at St. John’s is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind’s power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the ratios among whole numbers. In particular, the music program at St. John’s aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year, students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place primarily by singing, and by the second semester the students perform some of the great choral works. In the sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides continuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoric, and poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial includes an investigation of rhythm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the diatonic system, a study of the ratios of musical intervals, and a consideration of melody, counterpoint, and harmony. None of these are done apart from the sounding reality of good music. The inventions of Bach, the songs of Schubert, the masses of Palestrina, the St. Matthew Passion of Bach, the operas of Mozart, and the instrumental works of Beethoven are the real teachers. In the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. The Curriculum 13 �THE LABORATORY Three hundred years ago, algebra and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by René Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, politics, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the St. John’s Program and one that the college takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last two years of the Program exhibit the farreaching changes that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period from Homer to Descartes. Modern mathematics has made possible the exploration of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast project of study conceived by the great thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. St. John’s has a three-year laboratory in the natural sciences. In the laboratory, students pursue characteristic and related topics in physics, biology, and chemistry. The art of measurement involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measurement; in practica, students reproduce crucial experiments; and, throughout, the interplay of hypothesis, theory, and fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is supported by the mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques. The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research. It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills. The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the humanities, as if they were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. Different fields of exploration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems from sources common to all intellectual life. 14 The Curriculum The Organization of the Laboratory Work The laboratory program is largely determined by three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the study of science: (1) The formally scheduled experimental work must be combined with a full and free discussion of the instruments and principles involved in it. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific discipline to its roots in principle, assumption, and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters are selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (3) The schedule of laboratory work should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation. The students must have time to satisfy themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can they come to a mature understanding of the sciences called “exact.” A laboratory section consists of 14 to 16 students working under the guidance of a tutor, with the help of more advanced students serving as assistants. Sections meet two or three times a week. A laboratory session may be used for exposition and discussion of theory, for experimentation, or for both, as the progress of the work requires. In most cases, the basis for discussion is a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Harvey, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. �Laboratory Topics 3rd Year Topics in physics: mechanics, optics, heat, electricity, magnetism The general topics of study have been chosen from elementary physical and biological sciences. The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: 4th Year 1st Year 12 weeks: Observational biology 20 weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry 10 weeks: Quantum physics 18 weeks: Genetics, evolution, molecular biology The Curriculum 15 �The First Year The laboratory begins with 12 weeks devoted to topics in observational biology: classification of types, anatomical structure, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, and embryological development. Close observation by the naked eye or with microscopes is accompanied by constant theoretical interpretation, based on reading important works of biological scientists. Here the student confronts organisms as self-moving entities with properties of wholeness, intimately dependent on, yet distinct from, the surrounding world. The freshman laboratory next turns to the nonliving in a search for fundamental laws. Archimedes on the lever and on hydrostatics is studied, then the laws of equilibrium of gases, temperature, and calorimetry are taken up, experimentally and in discussion of the relevant theories. These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the theory that matter is composed of discrete particles. The student compares the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance and substantial change, and goes on to study and discuss important original texts bearing on the development of the atomic-molecular theory. Experiments are performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the physical and chemical transformation of which they speak. The year’s work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this determination. The Third Year The third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional divisions of physics, such as mechanics, optics, and electromagnetism. Throughout the year, experimentation is accompanied by the reading of important original writings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, and Maxwell. The mathematical tools of physics are to be put to work in the laboratory at the same time that their rigorous development is pursued in the mathematics tutorials. As the tools of the calculus become available, the emphasis shifts from a direct, qualitative description of force, acceleration, work, energy, and potential fields to their reformulation in terms of derivative and integral; at the same time, the physical concepts serve to illustrate the mathematical ideas. The concepts 16 The Curriculum of mechanics are to be used to formulate alternative theories of light — corpuscular and wave — and the success of either theory in accounting for optical phenomena is examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell’s derivation of an electromagnetic theory of light. The Fourth Year In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first semester, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism — but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrödinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. The laboratory program ends as it began — with a study of living organisms. In the spring of the senior year, students finally confront the evidence and arguments for their modern views of evolution and genetics. The semester begins with Darwin and Mendel, proceeds to a synthesis, and then traces developments in cellular and molecular biology which are thought to undergird this synthesis, as presented in seminal papers by twentieth-century biologists. In addition, this work raises questions about whether there is purpose in nature, whether there are natural kinds, what distinquishes living from non-living, whether living things have a wholeness, and if so, what is responsible for it. �THE FORMAL LECTURE The curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar, tutorial, or laboratory readings, or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students’ readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John’s faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: it inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability of what they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials.

JOHN’S LIST OF GREAT BOOKS The list of books that serves as the core of the curriculum had its beginnings at Columbia College, at the University of Chicago, and at the University of Virginia. Since 1937, it has been under continuous review at St. John’s College. The distribution of the books over the four years is significant. More than 2,000 years of intellectual history form the background of the first two years; about 300 years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. the reading into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understanding of the liberal arts; the second year ranges from the Hebrew Bible to the sixteenth-century seeds of modernity; the third year has books of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most of which were written in modern languages; the fourth year brings The list of books that constitute the core of the St. John’s Program is subject to yearly review by the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Those listed here are read at one or both campuses, although not always in their entirety. Books read in seminar are indicated by an asterisk. The chronological order in which the books are read is primarily a matter of convenience and intelligibility; it does not imply a historical approach to the subject matter. The St. John’s curriculum seeks to convey to students an understanding of the fundamental problems that human beings have to face today and at all times. It invites them to reflect both on their continuities and their discontinuities.

The title “professor” is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying the text that is the principal teacher of the class — it might be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wrote from the high point of their learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the tutors is to question, to listen, and to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration, or explanation, but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to help themselves. In order that conversations at St. John’s will not be limited to what fits neatly inside a single discipline, it is essential that St. John’s tutors re-educate themselves to acquire increased understanding in those parts of the Program that are outside their field of post-graduate training. For example, tutors with advanced degrees in mathematics would prepare themselves to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage of this for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not avert their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John’s Program. 24 The Academic Order This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the Program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and they are continually teaching their colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John’s than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up. Leaders of such groups are sometimes relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by themselves or the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John’s curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John’s. �The Instruction Committee The Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the presidents on appointments to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and 12 tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year. The full committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those annual meetings. The Library The library exists to support the academic program as well as the teaching and learning that occur in a variety of ways at St. John’s College. The books chosen for study at St. John’s form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes serving as secondary sources and representative works in the major fields of learning. The libraries on the two campuses have a total collection of over 180,000 items, including works in various languages and many diverse subject areas, with a concentration in the sciences and humanities. The library also collects periodicals and newspapers, audiovisual materials, audio recordings of faculty and Friday night lectures, faculty publications, and student prize essays. Interlibrary Loan services enable current students, faculty, and staff to request books and journal articles that are not part of the library’s collection from libraries throughout the country. In all its activities, the library seeks to participate in the program of the college and reflect its philosophy of education. spaces with subtle natural light are available for reading and contemplation. The music library is housed apart in the Mellon building, and offers sound recordings and printed scores, all available for loan. The Faith and John Meem Library opened in Santa Fe in 1990. It offers a variety of study areas designed to accommodate up to half of the student body at a given time, including two 24-hour study rooms, and a music room with listening carrels and a collection of compact discs, records, and DVDs. Both libraries hold interesting special collections, including several hundred early or first editions of works read in the Program. Most of the materials included in the Greenfield Library archival and special collections, such as St. John’s College photographs, a collection of fine art slides, college publications and records, and instruction manuals used by the tutors throughout the years, are available in the library. Some of the notable special collections available in the Greenfield Library are the collected papers and correspondence of Jacob Klein and the collected papers and correspondence of Stringfellow Barr. In addition, the Greenfield Library has retained several of the original books from the Bray Collection, dating from 1696 and known as the “first public library in America,” and possesses the Prettyman Collection of Signed and Inscribed Books, some 800 titles of first editions signed by the authors. Some of the pre-1930 materials are housed at the Maryland State Archives. The Witter Bynner Collection and the Edgar Allen Poe Collection in Santa Fe contain first editions on each poet, as well as other “belles letters.” In addition, the Santa Fe library contains a faculty and alumni publications collection and the Holtzman Music Collection. The libraries also provide public terminals for accessing the online catalog, electronic resources, and the Internet. The libraries subscribe to several electronic academic databases including JSTOR, OCLC FirstSearch (ArticleFirst/WorldCat), Oxford English Dictionary, Philosopher’s Index, and the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae. These and other databases can be accessed in the libraries, dorms, or by any computer that connects to the St. John’s network. The Greenfield Library, in Annapolis, is housed in a beautifully restored historic building that was once the Maryland Hall of Records. Comfortably situated study The Academic Order 25 �Schedules Perhaps the most distinctive mark of St. John’s College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid’s Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles’ funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. 26 The Academic Order Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods of laboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-and-one-half hours to four-and-onehalf hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six hours each week in the laboratory. Each week there are two evening seminars, lasting two hours or more. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to 19 hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of 16 weeks each. �A Sample Freshman Schedule, Annapolis HOUR 9:00 – 10:10 a.m. M O N DAY T U E S DAY Language 10:20 – 11:30 a.m. W E D N E S DAY Language Mathematics 1:00 – 3:40 p.m. Laboratory 8:00 – 10:00 p.m. T H U R S DAY Language Mathematics Chorus Seminar F R I DAY Mathematics Laboratory Seminar Formal Lecture W E D N E S DAY T H U R S DAY F R I DAY Mathematics Mathematics A Sample Freshman Schedule, Santa Fe HOUR 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. M O N DAY Mathematics Music 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. T U E S DAY Language Laboratory Seminar Language Language Laboratory Seminar Formal Lecture ESSAYS AND EXAMINATIONS The Algebra Examination Annually in Annapolis and each semester in Santa Fe, all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors submit essays to their seminar leaders on some aspect of the liberal arts. These essays are based directly upon books in the Program. Before the second semester of their sophomore year, students must pass an examination in elementary algebra and trigonometry. Review sessions are offered. Oral Examinations Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are conducted for each student by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of their study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of their classes. For freshmen, the first oral examination of the year is given before the winter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin. The Final Essay and Oral Examination In the senior year, the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of the four years’ work. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at the start of the second semester are reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes. If the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined about it by the committee in an hour-long public examination. No degree is awarded unless both the essay and the oral examination are satisfactory. The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student’s learning. The Academic Order 27 �In the junior year, conferences replace some of the don rags. In conferences, students report on their own work, and then the tutors comment on that report. By the time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student’s work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. Letter Grades ACADEMIC STANDING Because St. John’s classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students’ progress from day to day. The tutors’ appraisals of a student are based on the student’s total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance, and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of ability and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John’s is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for grades. Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John’s, attendance at all regularly scheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. The Don Rag Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a semester, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors meet with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students’ work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors’ reports and comment on their own work. Advice may be requested and given; difficulties may be aired; but grades are not reported or discussed. 28 The Academic Order Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on request. The tutor’s comprehensive judgment of a student is reported to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, D or F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has stopped, the student is asked to leave the college. Sophomore Enabling Sophomore enabling is a review by the Instruction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of sophomores, of the student’s learning during the two years spent in the college. The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling procedure. Consequently, no students are enabled to enter the junior class unless they have written a satisfactory essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are sufficiently prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student writing an acceptable senior essay. �THE ST. JOHN’S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS The student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfactorily is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, and they spend their first summer completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John’s seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately 134 semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN’S • 9.4% choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreign service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ecology. Approximately 70% of our alumni pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with around 15% of each graduating class entering graduate and professional programs directly after St. Johns. Doctoral degrees earned by St. John’s alumni split about evenly between humanities and science/mathematics. Our students consistently score above the national average on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). The Career Services office on each campus assists students in planning for advanced study and in preparing their applications. In a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John’s alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John’s graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 21.9% are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • 18.8% are in communications or the arts; • 17.3% are in business or business-related occupations; • 9.7% work in the field of law, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 9.4% work in computers/sciences/mathematics; • 6.9% work in the health professions, mainly as physicians; • 6.6% work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry; The Academic Order 29 �THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION The Graduate Institute at St. John’s College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, inspired by that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or great books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS The aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts degree (36 semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely integrated program of study. Classes are small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which 14 to 19 students engage in a discussion initiated by a tutor’s question about the assigned reading. In the 30 The Graduate Institute tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students (12 to 16) focuses more intensively on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to 12), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the 16-week fall and spring terms, and usually two to four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet five days a week and start earlier in the day. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master’s essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately 60 to 90 students have been enrolled on each campus during each session. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools. �THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM** Literature SEMINAR Homer: Iliad, Odyssey Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Libation Bearers, Eumenides Sophocles: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone Euripides: Hippolytus, Bacchae, Electra Aristophanes: Frogs TUTORIAL Chaucer: Canterbury Tales in Middle English* Shakespeare: King Lear Aristotle: Poetics Selected English lyric poetry Mathematics and Natural Science History SEMINAR Herodotus: Histories* Thucydides: Peloponnesian War* Livy: Early History of Rome* Polybius: Histories* Plutarch: “Caesar” and “Cato the Younger” Tacitus: Annals* Tocqueville: The Old Regime and the French Revolution* Plato: Timaeus* Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Aristotle: Physics* Ptolemy: Almagest* Galileo: Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems* Darwin: The Origin of Species* Freud: Selected Works SEMINAR TUTORIAL TUTORIAL Euclid: Elements* Lobachevski: The Theory of Parallels* PRECEPTORIAL (examples) PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Cervantes: Don Quixote Joyce: Ulysses Virgil: Aeneid Eliot: Middlemarch Dostoevski: The Brothers Karamazov Light: Aristotle, Descartes, Huygens, and Newton Lavoisier: Elements of Chemistry Maxwell: Theory of Heat Bacon and the Principles of Natural Philosophy Galileo: Two New Sciences Politics and Society Philosophy and Theology SEMINAR SEMINAR Plutarch: “Lycurgus” and “Solon” Plato: Republic Aristotle: Politics* Machiavelli: The Prince Locke: Second Treatise of Civil Government Rousseau: On the Origin and Foundations of Inequality Marx: The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844* Tocqueville: Democracy in America* Genesis Exodus Job Matthew Romans Augustine: Confessions* Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologica* Kant: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals Kierkegaard: Philosophical Fragments Augustine: The City of God* Vico: The New Science* Kant: Idea of a Universal History Herder: Ideas Toward the Philosophy of the History of Mankind* Hegel: Philosophy of History* Marx: The German Ideology Nietzsche: Uses and Abuses of History for Life Dilthey: Introduction to the Human Sciences* Collingwood: The Idea of History* Strauss: Political Philosophy and History* PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Tolstoy: War and Peace Machiavelli: The Florentine Histories Weber: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism Arendt: The Origins of Totalitarianism TUTORIAL TUTORIAL Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics* Thomas Aquinas: Treatise on Law* Hobbes: Leviathan* Declaration of Independence Articles of Confederation U.S. Constitution Hamilton, Jay, and Madison: The Federalist* Selected U.S. Supreme Court Decisions PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Montesquieu: The Spirit of the Laws Shakespeare: The history plays Smith: The Wealth of Nations Rousseau: Emile Hegel: The Philosophy of Right Plato: Meno Aristotle: Metaphysics* Descartes: Meditations Hume: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding Kant: Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics Nietzsche: Beyond Good and Evil* PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Aristotle: On the Soul Heidegger: Selected Works Spinoza: Ethics Wittgenstein: Philosophical Investigations Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathustra ** Readings may differ slightly between campuses * Selections The Graduate Institute 31 �DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS The aim of the Eastern Classics program is to help students seek a deeper understanding of the fundamental and enduring questions that have been raised by thoughtful human beings in the rich traditions of the East. Its course of study consists of 34 semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Santa Fe campus. The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. In the seminar, 14 to 18 students discuss assigned readings from a wide range of Indian, Chinese, and Japanese texts. In the tutorial, 12 to 15 students study either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. The goal is not mastery, but rather sufficient familiarity with the elements of the languages to gain some insight into their structure 32 The Graduate Institute and to translate selected short passages from classical texts. In the preceptorial, eight to 12 students study a single work or theme for an eight-week period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged. �THE EASTERN CLASSICS CURRICULUM Fall Semester Spring Semester Summer Semester CHINESE TUTORIAL CHINESE TUTORIAL SEMINAR Naiying Yuan, Haitao Tang, James Geiss, Classical Chinese: A Basic Reader Mathews, Chinese-English Dictionary Tang Poetry Meng Zi The Tale of the Heike Lotus Sutra Four Huts: Asian Writings on the Simple Life The Pillow Book Dogen, Shobogenzo Kenko, Essays in Idleness Basho, The Narrow Road to the Deep North Chushingura SANSKRIT TUTORIAL SANSKRIT TUTORIAL Bhagavadgita* Nagarjuna Killingley, Beginning Sanskrit: a practical course based on graded reading and excerises SEMINAR SEMINAR Confucius, Lun-Yu Mo Zi Xun Zi Han Fei Zi Meng Zi Zhuang Zi Lao Zi Rig Veda Upanishads Tattva-Kaumudi Yoga Sutras of Patanjali PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Mahabharata Sima Qian, The Grand Scribe’s Records The Laws of Manu The Bhagavadgita Kalidasa, Kumarasambhava Kalidasa, Meghaduta Kalidasa, Shakuntala Abhinavagupta, Dhvanyaloka Digha Nikaya Majhima Nikaya Nagarjuna, Mulamadhyama- kakarika Vimalakirti Sutra Lankavatara Sutra Gaudapada, The Great Karika on the Mandukya Upanishad Shankara, Commentary on the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad Diamond Sutra Heart Sutra Hui Neng, Commentary on the Diamond Sutra The Sutra of Hui Neng Chinese Poetry Zhu Xi PRECEPTORIAL Murasaki Shikibu, Tale of Genji PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Vasistha’s Yoga Bhagavadgita Nagarjuna, Mulamadhyamakakarika Dogen The Graduate Institute 33 �BIBLIOGRAPHY Books About Liberal Education Adler, Mortimer J., and Charles Van Doren: How to Read a Book, Simon and Schuster, 1972.

Liberally educated persons, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John’s College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great books — texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures — because they are both timeless and timely. These books are the most important teachers. They illuminate the persisting questions of human existence and they bear directly on the problems we face today. They express most originally, and often most perfectly, the ideas by which contemporary life is knowingly or unknowingly governed. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not of merely academic concern, nor is it remote from our true interests. They change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human questions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treatises, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for 6 The Introduction �each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other, and they draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. This conversation, however, is unavoidably one sided. The books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To overcome this limitation is the goal of the St. John’s seminar. Here a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, attempt to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing to submit their opinions to one another’s questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. It may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are — to help students gain understanding and make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they face. And it is the ultimate aim of the Program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John’s takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John’s seeks to restore the true meaning of liberal education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic — the arts of language; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy — the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experimentation, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. They all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely and critically for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to know the world around them and to know themselves in this world, and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the constraint of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. The aim of the education offered by St. John’s College is the liberation of the human intellect. This is an education for all, regardless of a person’s race, ethnicity, sex, religious beliefs, country of origin, economic background, age, disability or sexual orientation. By reading great books and struggling together with the fundamental questions that they raise, students and their teachers learn from their differences and discover more deeply their shared humanity. In this and other ways, a diversity of background and experience enriches our community of learning. Because it offers an education for all, St. John’s College has sought and continues to seek to make its program of study known and available to people of diverse backgrounds. The Introduction 7 �THE CURRICULUM The Seminar The heart of the curriculum is the seminar—a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar 17 to 21 students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, for two hours — sometimes longer if the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around 80 pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. The seminar begins with a question asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists mostly of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not just to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at will. The resulting informality is tempered by the use of formal modes of address. Once under way, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and aggression and to bring to the surface the students’ opinions and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity’s ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading, but bear only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the Coffee Shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument — an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and trying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn that to some extent the procedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy, and it can require a different approach. Such progress in learning together may be crowned by sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of “following the argument,” of facing the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question remains open but with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the “right” opinion or interpretation. It is 8 The Curriculum �subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer them. Students may suggest a topic and invite a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the Program, some preceptorials may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more than 10 students in a preceptorial. Guided by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by the seminar. Usually, the students’ work is completed by some form of written work, either a formal paper or a presentation to the class. Listed below are some of the preceptorial subjects offered on the two campuses in recent years. to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections and to help the students in every way possible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question “Why?” But the leaders may also take a definite and positive stand and enter directly into the argument. If they do so, however, they can expect no special consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. Consequently, all opinions must be defended with reason, and any single opinion can prevail only by general consent. The aim is always to develop the students’ powers of reason and understanding and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, sophomore, and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes a major part of the process called enabling (see page 28). THE PRECEPTORIAL For seven to eight weeks at the end of the first semester, seminars of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually given a choice of 25 to 30 preceptorials on books or Heidegger: Being and Time Design and Expression in the Visual Arts Joyce: Ulysses Saussure: Course in General Linguistics Readings in Lao Tsu and Confucius Aristotle: Metaphysics Darwin: Natural Selection Plato: Republic Marquez: One Hundred Years of Solitude Galileo: Dialogues on the Two Chief World Systems Shakespeare: Selected Plays Metaphysical Poets Bosch and Bruegel Kant: Critique of Judgment Hobbes: Leviathan Augustine: City of God Austen: Selected Novels Faraday: Experimental Researches in Electricity and Magnetism Ethical Problems in Medicine Thucydides: The Peloponnesian War The Curriculum 9 �THE TUTORIALS The seminar cannot suffice as the only setting for liberal education. By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and writing. Other learning experiences must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, seated around a table, 13 to 16 students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to work together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstration, of an important work. As in the seminar, students talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and insight to one another. Other tutors occasionally attend, seeking to learn about a particular subject that they may later teach. Writing is assigned regularly in all classes: mathematics, music, and laboratory sections, as well as in language tutorials. The students are thus called upon continually to articulate and organize their thinking in both the written and spoken forms. The Language Tutorial Specialization in higher education has led to a profound neglect of language skills. As country is separated from country by the barrier of language, so profession is separated from profession by technical jargon. Primarily, the language tutorial attempts to remedy this condition by training in the means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and ambiguities of terms; to the role of metaphors, analogies, and images; and to the logical relations that connect propositions. 10 The Curriculum The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years; French in the third and fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the students learn something of the nature of languages in general and of their own in particular. During the four years, then, they study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, they study their own language. They discover the resources of articulate speech and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent, and effective — if it is to be adequate and persuasive. In the beginning, the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language being studied. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one that is concerned with particular details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work. Those are matters that do not come directly into seminar discussions. The students’ concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign language, but the students can reasonably expect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they study. To experience the individuality of another language is to extend the boundaries of one’s sensibility. �The choice of foreign languages is in part dictated by the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary. Latin and German might be used without changing the pattern and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes well with the freshman seminar and mathematics tutorial, and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of the first. The second year ends with analysis and discussion of works by Shakespeare, Donne, and other English poets. The French of the third year begins with a brief, intensive study of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading of simple French. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form and content are related to appropriate writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of their models. In the second semester a play is read — usually Racine’s Phèdre. The principal activity of the fourth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal. Its immediate object is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of language. Writing assignments include exercises in transla- tion more ambitious than those attempted in the third year. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Robert Frost, W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. The Mathematics Tutorial Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested by the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning “to learn.” It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathematical. It is equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John’s is studied as a liberal art, not artificially separated from what have come to be called the humanities. When mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for their elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John’s, mathematics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal art but also one that provides ready access to others and significant analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studying mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines it. Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarity The Curriculum 11 �Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? What is the relation of logic to mathematics? What do “better” and “worse,” “ugly” and “beautiful” signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are there “mathematical objects”? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. with the mathematical methods by which it is managed, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their application. It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to help students to think about what it means to count and measure things in the universe. The second main reason for studying mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically. Since mathematics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human capacity for learning, its study is especially useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know something. To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: 12 The Curriculum The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid’s organization of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects — its central expression found in the theory of ratios — which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy’s Almagest, centering their attention on the problem of “hypotheses” constructed to “save the appearances” in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between the mathematics tutorial at St. John’s and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: his work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study Copernicus’ transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into heliocentric form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an understanding of algebra as the “analytic art” in general. �In the third year, students study calculus analytically in its modern form, originally in Leibniz’s work, and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. In the second semester, students take up Newton’s treatment of astronomy in the Principia, in which he brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomy with a “dynamic” theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The year concludes with an examination of Dedekind’s theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski’s approach to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature of the geometric art as a whole. Seniors also study Einstein’s special theory of relativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. The Music Tutorial One of the aims of the St. John’s Program has been to restore music as part of the liberal arts curriculum. The study of music at St. John’s is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind’s power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the ratios among whole numbers. In particular, the music program at St. John’s aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year, students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place primarily by singing, and by the second semester the students perform some of the great choral works. In the sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides continuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoric, and poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial includes an investigation of rhythm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the diatonic system, a study of the ratios of musical intervals, and a consideration of melody, counterpoint, and harmony. None of these are done apart from the sounding reality of good music. The inventions of Bach, the songs of Schubert, the masses of Palestrina, the St. Matthew Passion of Bach, the operas of Mozart, and the instrumental works of Beethoven are the real teachers. In the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. The Curriculum 13 �THE LABORATORY Three hundred years ago, algebra and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by René Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, politics, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the St. John’s Program and one that the college takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last two years of the Program exhibit the farreaching changes that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period from Homer to Descartes. Modern mathematics has made possible the exploration of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast project of study conceived by the great thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. St. John’s has a three-year laboratory in the natural sciences. In the laboratory, students pursue characteristic and related topics in physics, biology, and chemistry. The art of measurement involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measurement; in practica, students reproduce crucial experiments; and, throughout, the interplay of hypothesis, theory, and fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is supported by the mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques. The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research. It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills. The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the humanities, as if they were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. Different fields of exploration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems from sources common to all intellectual life. 14 The Curriculum The Organization of the Laboratory Work The laboratory program is largely determined by three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the study of science: (1) The formally scheduled experimental work must be combined with a full and free discussion of the instruments and principles involved in it. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific discipline to its roots in principle, assumption, and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters are selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (3) The schedule of laboratory work should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation. The students must have time to satisfy themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can they come to a mature understanding of the sciences called “exact.” A laboratory section consists of 14 to 16 students working under the guidance of a tutor, with the help of more advanced students serving as assistants. Sections meet two or three times a week. A laboratory session may be used for exposition and discussion of theory, for experimentation, or for both, as the progress of the work requires. In most cases, the basis for discussion is a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Harvey, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. �Laboratory Topics 3rd Year Topics in physics: mechanics, optics, heat, electricity, magnetism The general topics of study have been chosen from elementary physical and biological sciences. The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: 4th Year 1st Year 12 weeks: Observational biology 20 weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry 10 weeks: Quantum physics 18 weeks: Genetics, evolution, molecular biology The Curriculum 15 �The First Year The laboratory begins with 12 weeks devoted to topics in observational biology: classification of types, anatomical structure, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, and embryological development. Close observation by the naked eye or with microscopes is accompanied by constant theoretical interpretation, based on reading important works of biological scientists. Here the student confronts organisms as self-moving entities with properties of wholeness, intimately dependent on, yet distinct from, the surrounding world. The freshman laboratory next turns to the nonliving in a search for fundamental laws. Archimedes on the lever and on hydrostatics is studied, then the laws of equilibrium of gases, temperature, and calorimetry are taken up, experimentally and in discussion of the relevant theories. These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the theory that matter is composed of discrete particles. The student compares the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance and substantial change, and goes on to study and discuss important original texts bearing on the development of the atomic-molecular theory. Experiments are performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the physical and chemical transformation of which they speak. The year’s work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this determination. The Third Year The third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional divisions of physics, such as mechanics, optics, and electromagnetism. Throughout the year, experimentation is accompanied by the reading of important original writings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, and Maxwell. The mathematical tools of physics are to be put to work in the laboratory at the same time that their rigorous development is pursued in the mathematics tutorials. As the tools of the calculus become available, the emphasis shifts from a direct, qualitative description of force, acceleration, work, energy, and potential fields to their reformulation in terms of derivative and integral; at the same time, the physical concepts serve to illustrate the mathematical ideas. The concepts 16 The Curriculum of mechanics are to be used to formulate alternative theories of light — corpuscular and wave — and the success of either theory in accounting for optical phenomena is examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell’s derivation of an electromagnetic theory of light. The Fourth Year In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first semester, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism — but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrödinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. The laboratory program ends as it began — with a study of living organisms. In the spring of the senior year, students finally confront the evidence and arguments for their modern views of evolution and genetics. The semester begins with Darwin and Mendel, proceeds to a synthesis, and then traces developments in cellular and molecular biology which are thought to undergird this synthesis, as presented in seminal papers by twentieth-century biologists. In addition, this work raises questions about whether there is purpose in nature, whether there are natural kinds, what distinquishes living from non-living, whether living things have a wholeness, and if so, what is responsible for it. �THE FORMAL LECTURE The curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar, tutorial, or laboratory readings, or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students’ readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John’s faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: it inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability of what they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials.

JOHN’S LIST OF GREAT BOOKS The list of books that serves as the core of the curriculum had its beginnings at Columbia College, at the University of Chicago, and at the University of Virginia. Since 1937, it has been under continuous review at St. John’s College. The distribution of the books over the four years is significant. More than 2,000 years of intellectual history form the background of the first two years; about 300 years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. the reading into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understanding of the liberal arts; the second year ranges from the Hebrew Bible to the sixteenth-century seeds of modernity; the third year has books of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most of which were written in modern languages; the fourth year brings The list of books that constitute the core of the St. John’s Program is subject to yearly review by the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Those listed here are read at one or both campuses, although not always in their entirety. Books read in seminar are indicated by an asterisk. The chronological order in which the books are read is primarily a matter of convenience and intelligibility; it does not imply a historical approach to the subject matter. The St. John’s curriculum seeks to convey to students an understanding of the fundamental problems that human beings have to face today and at all times. It invites them to reflect both on their continuities and their discontinuities.

The title “professor” is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying the text that is the principal teacher of the class — it might be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wrote from the high point of their learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the tutors is to question, to listen, and to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration, or explanation, but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to help themselves. In order that conversations at St. John’s will not be limited to what fits neatly inside a single discipline, it is essential that St. John’s tutors re-educate themselves to acquire increased understanding in those parts of the Program that are outside their field of post-graduate training. For example, tutors with advanced degrees in mathematics would prepare themselves to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage of this for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not avert their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John’s Program. 24 The Academic Order This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the Program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and they are continually teaching their colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John’s than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up. Leaders of such groups are sometimes relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by themselves or the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John’s curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John’s. �The Instruction Committee The Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the presidents on appointments to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and 12 tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year. The full committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those annual meetings. The Library The library exists to support the academic program as well as the teaching and learning that occur in a variety of ways at St. John’s College. The books chosen for study at St. John’s form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes serving as secondary sources and representative works in the major fields of learning. The libraries on the two campuses have a total collection of over 180,000 items, including works in various languages and many diverse subject areas, with a concentration in the sciences and humanities. The library also collects periodicals and newspapers, audiovisual materials, audio recordings of faculty and Friday night lectures, faculty publications, and student prize essays. Interlibrary Loan services enable current students, faculty, and staff to request books and journal articles that are not part of the library’s collection from libraries throughout the country. In all its activities, the library seeks to participate in the program of the college and reflect its philosophy of education. spaces with subtle natural light are available for reading and contemplation. The music library is housed apart in the Mellon building, and offers sound recordings and printed scores, all available for loan. The Faith and John Meem Library opened in Santa Fe in 1990. It offers a variety of study areas designed to accommodate up to half of the student body at a given time, including two 24-hour study rooms, and a music room with listening carrels and a collection of compact discs, records, and DVDs. Both libraries hold interesting special collections, including several hundred early or first editions of works read in the Program. Most of the materials included in the Greenfield Library archival and special collections, such as St. John’s College photographs, a collection of fine art slides, college publications and records, and instruction manuals used by the tutors throughout the years, are available in the library. Some of the notable special collections available in the Greenfield Library are the collected papers and correspondence of Jacob Klein and the collected papers and correspondence of Stringfellow Barr. In addition, the Greenfield Library has retained several of the original books from the Bray Collection, dating from 1696 and known as the “first public library in America,” and possesses the Prettyman Collection of Signed and Inscribed Books, some 800 titles of first editions signed by the authors. Some of the pre-1930 materials are housed at the Maryland State Archives. The Witter Bynner Collection and the Edgar Allen Poe Collection in Santa Fe contain first editions on each poet, as well as other “belles letters.” In addition, the Santa Fe library contains a faculty and alumni publications collection and the Holtzman Music Collection. The libraries also provide public terminals for accessing the online catalog, electronic resources, and the Internet. The libraries subscribe to several electronic academic databases including JSTOR, OCLC FirstSearch (ArticleFirst/WorldCat), Oxford English Dictionary, Philosopher’s Index, and the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae. These and other databases can be accessed in the libraries, dorms, or by any computer that connects to the St. John’s network. The Greenfield Library, in Annapolis, is housed in a beautifully restored historic building that was once the Maryland Hall of Records. Comfortably situated study The Academic Order 25 �Schedules Perhaps the most distinctive mark of St. John’s College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid’s Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles’ funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. 26 The Academic Order Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods of laboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-and-one-half hours to four-and-onehalf hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six hours each week in the laboratory. Each week there are two evening seminars, lasting two hours or more. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to 19 hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of 16 weeks each. �A Sample Freshman Schedule, Annapolis HOUR 9:00 – 10:10 a.m. M O N DAY T U E S DAY Language 10:20 – 11:30 a.m. W E D N E S DAY Language Mathematics 1:00 – 3:40 p.m. Laboratory 8:00 – 10:00 p.m. T H U R S DAY Language Mathematics Chorus Seminar F R I DAY Mathematics Laboratory Seminar Formal Lecture W E D N E S DAY T H U R S DAY F R I DAY Mathematics Mathematics A Sample Freshman Schedule, Santa Fe HOUR 9:00 – 10:30 a.m. 10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. M O N DAY Mathematics Music 1:30 – 4:30 p.m. 7:30 – 9:30 p.m. T U E S DAY Language Laboratory Seminar Language Language Laboratory Seminar Formal Lecture ESSAYS AND EXAMINATIONS The Algebra Examination Annually in Annapolis and each semester in Santa Fe, all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors submit essays to their seminar leaders on some aspect of the liberal arts. These essays are based directly upon books in the Program. Before the second semester of their sophomore year, students must pass an examination in elementary algebra and trigonometry. Review sessions are offered. Oral Examinations Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are conducted for each student by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of their study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of their classes. For freshmen, the first oral examination of the year is given before the winter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin. The Final Essay and Oral Examination In the senior year, the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of the four years’ work. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at the start of the second semester are reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes. If the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined about it by the committee in an hour-long public examination. No degree is awarded unless both the essay and the oral examination are satisfactory. The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student’s learning. The Academic Order 27 �In the junior year, conferences replace some of the don rags. In conferences, students report on their own work, and then the tutors comment on that report. By the time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student’s work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. Letter Grades ACADEMIC STANDING Because St. John’s classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students’ progress from day to day. The tutors’ appraisals of a student are based on the student’s total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance, and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of ability and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John’s is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for grades. Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John’s, attendance at all regularly scheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. The Don Rag Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a semester, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors meet with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students’ work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors’ reports and comment on their own work. Advice may be requested and given; difficulties may be aired; but grades are not reported or discussed. 28 The Academic Order Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on request. The tutor’s comprehensive judgment of a student is reported to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, D or F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has stopped, the student is asked to leave the college. Sophomore Enabling Sophomore enabling is a review by the Instruction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of sophomores, of the student’s learning during the two years spent in the college. The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling procedure. Consequently, no students are enabled to enter the junior class unless they have written a satisfactory essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are sufficiently prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student writing an acceptable senior essay. �THE ST. JOHN’S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS The student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfactorily is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, and they spend their first summer completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John’s seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately 134 semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN’S • 9.4% choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreign service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ecology. Approximately 70% of our alumni pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with around 15% of each graduating class entering graduate and professional programs directly after St. Johns. Doctoral degrees earned by St. John’s alumni split about evenly between humanities and science/mathematics. Our students consistently score above the national average on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). The Career Services office on each campus assists students in planning for advanced study and in preparing their applications. In a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John’s alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John’s graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 21.9% are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • 18.8% are in communications or the arts; • 17.3% are in business or business-related occupations; • 9.7% work in the field of law, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 9.4% work in computers/sciences/mathematics; • 6.9% work in the health professions, mainly as physicians; • 6.6% work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry; The Academic Order 29 �THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION The Graduate Institute at St. John’s College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, inspired by that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or great books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS The aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts degree (36 semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely integrated program of study. Classes are small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which 14 to 19 students engage in a discussion initiated by a tutor’s question about the assigned reading. In the 30 The Graduate Institute tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students (12 to 16) focuses more intensively on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to 12), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the 16-week fall and spring terms, and usually two to four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet five days a week and start earlier in the day. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master’s essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately 60 to 90 students have been enrolled on each campus during each session. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools. �THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM** Literature SEMINAR Homer: Iliad, Odyssey Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Libation Bearers, Eumenides Sophocles: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone Euripides: Hippolytus, Bacchae, Electra Aristophanes: Frogs TUTORIAL Chaucer: Canterbury Tales in Middle English* Shakespeare: King Lear Aristotle: Poetics Selected English lyric poetry Mathematics and Natural Science History SEMINAR Herodotus: Histories* Thucydides: Peloponnesian War* Livy: Early History of Rome* Polybius: Histories* Plutarch: “Caesar” and “Cato the Younger” Tacitus: Annals* Tocqueville: The Old Regime and the French Revolution* Plato: Timaeus* Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Aristotle: Physics* Ptolemy: Almagest* Galileo: Dialogue on the Two Chief World Systems* Darwin: The Origin of Species* Freud: Selected Works SEMINAR TUTORIAL TUTORIAL Euclid: Elements* Lobachevski: The Theory of Parallels* PRECEPTORIAL (examples) PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Cervantes: Don Quixote Joyce: Ulysses Virgil: Aeneid Eliot: Middlemarch Dostoevski: The Brothers Karamazov Light: Aristotle, Descartes, Huygens, and Newton Lavoisier: Elements of Chemistry Maxwell: Theory of Heat Bacon and the Principles of Natural Philosophy Galileo: Two New Sciences Politics and Society Philosophy and Theology SEMINAR SEMINAR Plutarch: “Lycurgus” and “Solon” Plato: Republic Aristotle: Politics* Machiavelli: The Prince Locke: Second Treatise of Civil Government Rousseau: On the Origin and Foundations of Inequality Marx: The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844* Tocqueville: Democracy in America* Genesis Exodus Job Matthew Romans Augustine: Confessions* Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologica* Kant: Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals Kierkegaard: Philosophical Fragments Augustine: The City of God* Vico: The New Science* Kant: Idea of a Universal History Herder: Ideas Toward the Philosophy of the History of Mankind* Hegel: Philosophy of History* Marx: The German Ideology Nietzsche: Uses and Abuses of History for Life Dilthey: Introduction to the Human Sciences* Collingwood: The Idea of History* Strauss: Political Philosophy and History* PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Tolstoy: War and Peace Machiavelli: The Florentine Histories Weber: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism Arendt: The Origins of Totalitarianism TUTORIAL TUTORIAL Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics* Thomas Aquinas: Treatise on Law* Hobbes: Leviathan* Declaration of Independence Articles of Confederation U.S. Constitution Hamilton, Jay, and Madison: The Federalist* Selected U.S. Supreme Court Decisions PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Montesquieu: The Spirit of the Laws Shakespeare: The history plays Smith: The Wealth of Nations Rousseau: Emile Hegel: The Philosophy of Right Plato: Meno Aristotle: Metaphysics* Descartes: Meditations Hume: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding Kant: Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics Nietzsche: Beyond Good and Evil* PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Aristotle: On the Soul Heidegger: Selected Works Spinoza: Ethics Wittgenstein: Philosophical Investigations Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathustra ** Readings may differ slightly between campuses * Selections The Graduate Institute 31 �DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS The aim of the Eastern Classics program is to help students seek a deeper understanding of the fundamental and enduring questions that have been raised by thoughtful human beings in the rich traditions of the East. Its course of study consists of 34 semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Santa Fe campus. The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. In the seminar, 14 to 18 students discuss assigned readings from a wide range of Indian, Chinese, and Japanese texts. In the tutorial, 12 to 15 students study either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. The goal is not mastery, but rather sufficient familiarity with the elements of the languages to gain some insight into their structure 32 The Graduate Institute and to translate selected short passages from classical texts. In the preceptorial, eight to 12 students study a single work or theme for an eight-week period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged. �THE EASTERN CLASSICS CURRICULUM Fall Semester Spring Semester Summer Semester CHINESE TUTORIAL CHINESE TUTORIAL SEMINAR Naiying Yuan, Haitao Tang, James Geiss, Classical Chinese: A Basic Reader Mathews, Chinese-English Dictionary Tang Poetry Meng Zi The Tale of the Heike Lotus Sutra Four Huts: Asian Writings on the Simple Life The Pillow Book Dogen, Shobogenzo Kenko, Essays in Idleness Basho, The Narrow Road to the Deep North Chushingura SANSKRIT TUTORIAL SANSKRIT TUTORIAL Bhagavadgita* Nagarjuna Killingley, Beginning Sanskrit: a practical course based on graded reading and excerises SEMINAR SEMINAR Confucius, Lun-Yu Mo Zi Xun Zi Han Fei Zi Meng Zi Zhuang Zi Lao Zi Rig Veda Upanishads Tattva-Kaumudi Yoga Sutras of Patanjali PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Mahabharata Sima Qian, The Grand Scribe’s Records The Laws of Manu The Bhagavadgita Kalidasa, Kumarasambhava Kalidasa, Meghaduta Kalidasa, Shakuntala Abhinavagupta, Dhvanyaloka Digha Nikaya Majhima Nikaya Nagarjuna, Mulamadhyama- kakarika Vimalakirti Sutra Lankavatara Sutra Gaudapada, The Great Karika on the Mandukya Upanishad Shankara, Commentary on the Brhadaranyaka Upanishad Diamond Sutra Heart Sutra Hui Neng, Commentary on the Diamond Sutra The Sutra of Hui Neng Chinese Poetry Zhu Xi PRECEPTORIAL Murasaki Shikibu, Tale of Genji PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Vasistha’s Yoga Bhagavadgita Nagarjuna, Mulamadhyamakakarika Dogen The Graduate Institute 33 �BIBLIOGRAPHY Books About Liberal Education Adler, Mortimer J., and Charles Van Doren: How to Read a Book, Simon and Schuster, 1972.

The books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To overcome this limitation is the goal of the St. John's seminar. Here a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, anempt to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed tliat the students are willing to submit their opinions to one another's questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, sening limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. It may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are - to help students gain understanding and make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they face. And it is the ultimate aim of the program that tlle habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning ofliberal education. The primary function of me liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic the arts oflanguage; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy- the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experimentation, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. They all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely and critically for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned iliem throughout their lives. St. John's College is a community dedicated to liberal education. Liberally educated persons, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John's College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great books - texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures - because they are both timeless and timely. These books are the most important teachers. They illuminate the persisting questions of human existence, and they bear directly on the problems we face today. They express most originally and often most perfectly the ideas by which contemporary life is knowingly or unknowingly governed. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not of merely academic concern, nor is it remote from our true interests. They change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to know the world around them and to know themselves in this world, and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the constraint of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit oflistening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. The aim of the education offered by St. John's College is the liberation of the human intellect. This is an education for all, regardless of a person's race, ethnicity, sex, religious beliefs, country of origin, economic background, age, disability or sexual orientation. By reading great books and struggling together with the fundanlental questions that they raise, students and their teachers learn from their differences and discover more deeply their shared humanity. In this and other ways, a diversity of background and experience enriches our community oflearning. Because it offers an education for all, St. John's College has sought and continues to seek to make its program of study known and available to people of diverse backgrounds. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human questions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treatises, and whether their subject maner is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other, and they draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. 6 The Introduction The Introduction 7 �The Curriculurn THE SEMINAR The heart of the cmriculun1 is tl1e seminar - a discusS!Oil readings from the books of the program. In each seminar seventeen to twenty-one students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on for two hours - or sometimes if the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained The assig11ment for each semi mu amounts, on the average, to around eighty pages shorter ifthe Except for the of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard md however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument - an does nm count.

The Curriculum 9 �THE TUTORIALS The seminar cannot suffice as the only setting for liberal education. its very natme, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful and of persistently precise discussion and writing. Other learning experiences must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, ai1d music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, seated around a table, about thirteen to sixteen students study and learn together under the direct guidance and insu-uction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to work together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstration., of an important work As in the semin:u, smdents talk freely witl1 one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measme of instruction a_nd insight to one another.

The Curriculum ll �strate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. doing this over four years, they learn a good of deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: and how do mathematical proofs carry snch conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science :md of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects - its central found in d1e theory of ratios which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics.

The students begin with theE!ernenuofEuclid. Euclid's organization of the mathematical discoveries of 12 numbers, the endeavor to aridunetical frnmdation for the calculus. The mathematics tutorial is both an imrnduction to and a foundauon for the philosophical outlook of the modern world. 1n the fourth year, The reading ofLobachevski's to non-Eudidean reflection THE One ohhe aims of the St. John's progrnm has been to restore music as part of the liberal ans cwTiculum. 111e of'mLtsic at St. John's is not directed toward performance, but toward an undcrstcrnding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mine!, associated with the mind's power to grasp number and rneasme. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the rntios among whole numbers. In pcffticular, the music program at St. John's aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year, students meet once a week to the ftmdarnentals of melody mid its notation. Demonstration rnkcs place primarily by singing, the second semester the students perform some of the great choral works. In the sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides c~ntinuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects two different bm aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimatdy related lo language, rhetoric, and poetry. On the other, it is a unique and sclrsufficiem art, which has its roots deep in natme. The work of the mtorial includes an investigation of in words as well as in notes, a thorough investiof the diatonic system, a study of the ratios of musical intervals, and a consideration ofmclocly, counand harmo11y None of these <tre done apart from the reality of good music. The inventions ofBach, the songs ol Schubert, the masses of Palestrina, the Sr. JJ1anl1ew PaJS1011 orBach, the operas of Mozart, and the instrumental works ofEeethov~n are the real teachers. ln the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Scmin:rr·s of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead ofreadi1w a 0 tex1, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and emiches the understanding of it. THE LABORATORY Three hundTed yeaxs ago, algebra and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into Emopean thought, mainly by Rene Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paxalleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, politics, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the St. Jolm' s program and one that the college talces special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear of the program c;dlibit the upon it. The far-reaching changes that now from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period from Homer w Descartes.

All of this is supported by the mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques.

It is rather to make the student experience and understand The Curriculum The Curriculum 13 �the siimi ficance of science as a human enterprise involvo ing fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills. The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the humanities, as if they were distinct and autonomous domains oflearning. Different fields ofeqJloration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems from sources common to all intellectual life. The general topics of smdy have been chosen from elementary physical and biological sciences. The sequence of sntdy may be outlined as follows: IST YEAR 12 20 OF THE The laboratory program is largely determined by three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the study of science: (r) The formally scheduled experimental work must be combined with a foll and free discnssion of the instruments and principles involved in ic. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific discipline to its roots in principle, assumption., and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters are selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critiml study. (3) The schedule of laboratory work should give opporrnnity for leisurely but intensive The students must have time to satisfy Themselves as to the degree ofaccuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion co repeat an entire experiment.

Close observation by the naked eye or with microscopes is accompanied by constant theoretical interpretation, based on reading importm1t works of biological scientists.

The third-year laboracory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional divisions of physics, such as mechanics, optics, m1d electromagnetism. Throughout the year, experimentation is accompanied by the reading of important original Wfitings by 0Jlileo, Descartes, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, ancl lVlaxwell. The mathematical tools of physics are to be put to work in the laboratory at the same time that their rigorous development is pursued in the mathematics rutorials. As the tools of the calculus become available, the emphasis shifts from a direct, qualitative clescrip- tion of force, acceleration, work, energy, and potential fields to their reformulation in terms of derivative wd integral; at the same time, the physical concepts serve to illustrate the mathematical ideas. The concepts of mechanics are to be used to formulate alternative theories oflight - corpuscular m1d wave - and the success of either theory in accounting for optical phenomena is cxmnined. The fondmnental phenomena of electricity and map1etism arc studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromag11etic theory oflight. The Curriculum JS �THE FOURTH YEAR In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first semester, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism - but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis ofBoht and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schtodinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. The Laboratory program ends as it began - with a study ofliving organisms. In the spring of the senior year, students finally confront the evidence and argu- 16 The Curriculum ments for their modern views of evolution and genetics. The semester begins with Darwin and Mendel, proceeds to a synthesis, and then traces developments in cellular and molecular biology which are thought to undergird this synthesis, as presented in seminal papers by twentieth century biologists. In addition, this work raises questions about whether there is purpose in nature, whether there are natural kinds, what distinquishes living from non-living, whether living things have a wholeness, and if so, what is responsible for it. THE FORMAL LECTURE The curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar, tutorial, or laboratory readings or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students' readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthtopologyor space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: it inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability of what they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials.

JOHN'S LIST OF GREAT BOOKS The list ofbooks that serves as the core of the curriculum had its beginnings at Columbia College, at the University of Chicago, and at the University of Virginia. Since 1937, it has been under continuous review at St. John's College. The distribution of the books over the four years is significant. More than two thousand years of intellectual history form the background of the first two years; about three hundred years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understanding of the liberal arts; the second year ranges from the Hebrew Bible to the sixteenth century seeds of modernity; the third year has books of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most of which were wrinen in modern languages; the fourth year brings the reading into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The chronological order in which the books are read is primarily a maner of convenience and intelligibility; it does not imply a historical approach to the subject maner. The St. John's curriculum seeks to convey to students an understanding of the fundamental problems that human beings have to face today and at all times. It invites them to reflect both on their continuities and their discontinuities. The list of books that constitute the core of the St. John's program is subjectto yearly review by the Instruction Comminee of the faculty. Those listed here are read at one or both campuses, although not always in their entirety. Books read in seminar are indicated by an asterisk.

A formal teen hours year is divided into two semesters of siA'teen weeks each. Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are conducted for each student by the seminar leaders. The students aTe questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of d1cir study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been n·eated in any of their classes.

These programs, inspired by that of the undergraduate college, have twu distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or "grcar" books used as texts, and all classes a.re conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from colJege graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds artd with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS The aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and 'I11eology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Ans in Liberal Arts degree (thirty-Si}( semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely imegrated program of study. Classes aJe small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in sig11ificant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which fourteen to nineteen students engage in a discussion initiated by a tutor's 30 The Cradua1e Tnslitute gueslion about the assigned reading. In the tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students (twelve to sixteen) focuses more intensively on smaller assig11ments, either mathematical proofs, short literary to.1:s, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preccptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that studems write a substamial paper. Facttlly members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments arc ofkrcd in the SL'necn-wcek fall and spring terms, and usually two to four arc offered in the eight-week summer term. ln the fall and spring terms, classes meet a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to p<trticipate. During the summer, classes meet five days a wceek and start earlier in the clay. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take seg1nents in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master's essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. ln recent years, approximately sixty to ninety students have been enrolled on each campus during each session.

The Graduate Insrinne 31 �DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS The aim of the Eastern Classics program is to help studems seek a deeper understanding of the fundamental and enduring that have been raised by thoughtful human beings in the rich traditions of the East. hs course consists of thirty-four semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Sama Fe campus. The prognun includes a series of seminars, prcceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. In the seminar, fourteen to eighteen students discuss assigned readings from a wide range of Indian, Chinese, and Japanese tcicts. In the tutorial, twelve to fifteen srudents study either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. The goal is not mastery, but rather sufficient familiarity with the elements of the languages to gain some insight into their structure and to translate selected short passages from classical texts. In the preceptorial, eight to twelve students study a single work or theme for an eight-week period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged.

The great books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To remedy this defect is the goal of the St. John's seminar. Here a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, attempt to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing to submit their opinions to one another's questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. On the other hand, it may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are - to help the students make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they face. And it is the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic-the arts oflanguage; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy-the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use ofwords and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experimentation, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. Whatever methods are used, they all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. St. John's College is a community dedicated to liberal education. liberally educated human beings, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John's College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great books - texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures - because they express most originally and often most perfectly the ideas by which contemporary life is knowingly or unknowingly governed. These books are the most important teachers. They are both timeless and timely; they illuminate the persisting questions of human existence, and they bear directly on the problems we face today. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not of merely academic concern or remote from our true interests. They change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to win knowledge of the world around them and knowledge of themselves in this world and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the wantonness of prejudice and the narrowness dfbeaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. The aim of the education offered by St. John's College is the liberation of the human intellect. This is an education for all, regardless of a person's race, ethnicity, sex, religious beliefs, country of origin, economic background, age, disability or sexual orientation. By reading great books and struggling together with the fundamental questions that they raise, students and their teachers learn from their differences and discover more deeply their shared humanity. In this and other ways, a diversity of background and experience enriches our community oflearning. Because it offers an education for all, St. John's College has sought and continues to seek to make its program of study known and available to people of diverse backgrounds. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human questions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treatises, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other. They draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. 6 The Introduction The Introduction 7 �The Curriculum THE SEMINAR The heart of the curriculum is the seminar - a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar seventeen to twenty-one students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, for two hours - or sometimes longer if the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around eighty pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument - an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and trying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn, gradually also, that to some extent tlle procedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy, and it can require a different approach. Such progress in learning together may be crowned by sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The seminar begins with a question asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists mostly of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not just to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at will. The resulting informality is tempered by the use of formal modes of address. Once under way, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and aggression and to bring to the surface the students' opinions and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity's ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading, but bear only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the coffee shop after The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of "following the argument," of facing the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question remains open with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the "right" opinion or interpretation. It is to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections and to help the students in everywaypossible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question "Why?" But the leaders may also take a defmite and positive stand and enter directly into the argument. Ifthey do so, however, they can expect no special consideration. Reason is the 8 There are generally not more than ten students in a preceptorial. Glided by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by ilie seminar. Usually, the students' work is completed by some form of written work, either a formal paper or a presentation to the class. seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions.

Consequently, all opinions must be defended with reason, and any single opinion can prevail only by general consent. The aim is always to develop the students' powers of reason and understanding and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, sophomore, and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of ilie liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the ammal essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes a major part of the process called enabling (see page 28).

For about seven to eight weeks at the end of the first semester seminars of ilie junior and senior classes are replaced bypreceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject tlrraugh several books. Students are usually given a choice of twenty-five to thirty preceptorials on books or subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer iliem.

Although many preceptorials study one of ilie books of tl1e seminar list, or a ilieme suggested by the program, some preceptorials may deal with books and themes ilie students would not otherwise encounter. The Curriculum 9 �THE TUTORIALS The seminar cannot suffice as the only setting for liberal education. By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate tl1e habits of methodical and care/Ul study and of persistently precise discussion and Vl~·iting. Other learning experiences must therefore support it; these are the l1ttorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week.. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, around a table, about thirteen to sixteen students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The rntorial provides conditions for a small grnup to work together toward a carefo.l analysis, often through translation or demonstration, of an important work. As in the seminar, students talk freely with one another m1d with the rntor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. 111ere are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and insight to their lellows. Other rntors occasionally attend, seeking to learn about a particular subiect that they may later teach. Writing assig11ments are regularly made in all classes: mathematics, music, and laboratory sections, as well as in language cutorials. The students are thus called upon continually to articulate and organize their thinking in both the written and spoken forms. THE Specialization in higher education has led to a profound neglect oflm1guage skills, ilS country is separated from country by the barrier oflanguage, so profession is separated from profession by technical jargon. Primarily, the language nnorial attempts to remedy this condition by training in the means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grnmmar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intclhgent and active grasp of the relations m1d between language on the one hm1d and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to Lhe fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signilying things; to the varied connotations md ambiguities of terms; to the role of metaphors, m1alog1eS, and images; ai1d to the logical relations that connect propositions. The study of foreig11 languages (Greek in the first and second years, and French in the third IDd fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. 10 The Curriculum studying these languages, by translating from iliem into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the students lem·n something of the nanrrc oflanguages in general and of their own in particulm·. During the four years, then, they srndy language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermedim7 of foreign tongues, they study their own language. They discover the resources of articulate speech and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent, and effective - if it is to be adequate md persuasive. In the begim1ing, the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, m1d the vocabulary of each languag·e being sn1died. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend md development of ilie central idea, is supplemented IDd corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one that is concerned with details m1d shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work. Those are matters tlrnt do not come directly into seminar discussions. The students' concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their nocr,:nu1mng, m1d increases their ability to think A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also srndied in the tutorial, free from the veil translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cmmot md should not aim at mastery of the foreig11 language, but the smdents can reasonably eq1ect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they sntdy. To experience ilie individuality of m1other language is to ex.1:end the boundaries of one's sensibility. 111e choice of foreign languages is in part dictated by the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary, Latin and German might be used without ch~mging the pattern and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes well with the freshman seminar and mathematics tutorial, and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of me first. The second year ends with analysis and discussion of works by Shakespeare, Donne, and other English poets. The French of the third year be1orins with a brief, intensive study of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading of simple French. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form m1d content are related to appropriate writing assi1o'11ments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of It is equally regTcttable that competem mathematicians m,e their models. In the second semester a play is readRacine's Phedre. ics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal an but also one that provides ready access to others and significm1t <malogies with them. The principal activity of the fourth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire's Les .Fleurs du Jll!af. Its immediate is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a subs1ai1tial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clat'1fication of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts oflanguage. Writing assig11ments include exercises in translation more ambitious than those attempted in tl1e thiTd year. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, W. B. Yeats, and WaUace Stevens. EMA TICS Mathematics is a vital part of education; that tfos is true or ought to be is suggested by the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word mcctning "to learn." It is regTettable, tl1e11, that students should come to dislike matl1cmatics or to think of themselves as unmathernatical. often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John's is sn1died as a liberal art, not >fftificially sepcffated from what have come to be called the humanities. When mathematics is taught at m1 unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not only for their matter buc also for their elcgm1ce and imagination, as it is at St. John's, mathemat- There m·e two main reasons for srndying mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines it. 111ercfore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarityvvith the maLhematical methods by which it is rnmiaged, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their application. It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and ilie laboratory together to help students to think about what it means to count and measure things in the universe. The second main reason for studying mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically. Since mathematics has, as its nan1e implies, a larly close connection with the human learning, its scudy is especially useful in helping studcms to think about what it means to come to know sometlring. To prepm·e themselves for such reflection, sn1dents study artfolly composed mathematical n·eatises, demon- The Curriculum 11 �strate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of. questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they be_come acquainted with one view of mathematical objects - Its central expression found in the theory ofratios which is buried under the foundations of ~odern matl1ematics. After Euclid, they begin tl1e study of Ptolemy's Almagest, centering tl1eir attention on the problem of "hypotheses" constructed to "save the appearances" in the heavens. That the Uttorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between the matl1ematics mtorial at St. John's and tl1e ordinary comse in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of tl1e heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: his work is both an example of matl1ematics applied to phenomena and a compait.ion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are talcen tip in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They studv Copernicus' transformation of the Ptolemaic th~ory i1;to heliocentric form. TI1ey neX1: take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they smcly analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections i11 algebraic form. They rim~ gain an understanding of algebra as the "analytic art" in general, its proper beginnings and ends? What is the relation of logic to mathematics? What do "better" and "worse " "ugly" and "·beautiful" signily in mathematics? Do ' mathematical symbols constintte a lanoi.iao-e? Are there " . 0 0 mathemancal objects"? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which gTow out of the daily work and which excite the imellect and the imaginanon at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. fl1e students begin with the.£/emenuofEuclid. Using Euclid's organization of the mathematical discoveries of . In the third year, calculus is sUtdied botl1 analytically in Jts modem form m1d geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia fafarhemarica. In the second semester suidents take up Nevvton's tieannent of astrnnomy in tl;e Pnizcipia, in which he brings heavenly m1d emtluy motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomy11~tl1 a" dynamic'' theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. TI1e year concludes vvith m1 exmnination of Dedekind's theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. TI1e mathematics U1torial is both m1 i1moduction to physics and a foundation for the suidy of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. 0 In the fourth year, the reading ofLobachevski's approach to non-Euclidem1 geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometl'y, as well as on the naUffe of the geometric art as a whole. Seniors also study Einstein's special theory of relativity, which challenges our conventional understm1ding of the nanlfe of time and space. THE One of the aims of the St. John's program has been to restore music as part of the liberal m'ts curriculum. The smdy of music at St. John's is not directed toward performm1ce, but toward an understanding of the phenomena of music. The micients accorded music a place among the liberal ffi'ts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated witb the mind's power to grasp number m1d measure. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the rntios an10ng whole numbers. In pm"licular, the music program at St. John's aims at the undcrstm1ding of music through close study of musical theory and m1alysis of works of musical literature. Tn die freshmmi ycm·, students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place primarily by singing, and by the second semester the students perform some of the gTeat choral works. In the sophomore year, a mtorial meets three times a week. Besides continuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects rwo different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoric, and poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial includes an investigation of rhy1hm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the diatonic system, a smdy of the ratios of musical intervals, and a consideration of melody, counterpoint, and hm,mony. None of these arc clone .apart from the sounding reality of good music. The inventions of Bach, the songs of Schubert, the masses of Palestrina, the Sr. il1artl1ew Passion of Bach, the operas ofl\fozart, and the instrumental works of Beethoven are the real teachers. In the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music a1'e included as part of the regular seminru' schedule. Instead of reading a teX1:, snidents listen to recordings of a composition ru1d fmniliarize themselves with its score before the seminat' meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the unclerstm1ding of it. THE LABORATORY Three hundred yem·s ago, algebra and the arts of analytic geometry were intrnduced into European thought, mainly by Rene Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in pan determining the other great revolutions in industry, politics, morals, and religion. It has redefined and trm1sfonnccl our whole naniral mid cultural vvorld. ltis a focal point of the St. John's program m1d one that the college takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely mi item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last two years of"tl1e program exhibit the far-reaching changes that J1ow from it, and tl1ese could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period from Homer to DescmTes. Modem mathematics has made possible the exploration of narural phenomena on an immense scale m1cl has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The imellecrnal tools of rhe laboratory are the consequence of the vast project of study conceived by the gTeat thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of tl1e universe, which transforms the universe into a great book ·written in mathematical chm,acters. Liberal lem,ning is concerned with the artifices of the human mind and hmicl that help us to relate our experiences to our understanding. For tl1is purpose, St. John's has set up a three-year laboratory in the naniral sciences, wherein characteristic and related topics of physics, biology, and chemistry are pursued. There is the art of measurement, which involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measuremenl; crucial experiments are reproduced; the interplay of hypothesis, theory, ruid fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is supported by the mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques. 0 }2 The Curriculum The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the sti.1dent up to The Curriculum J3 �date in them, or to engage in specialized research. It is rather to make the smdcnt experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills. The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the humanities, as if they were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. Different fields of exploration require di ffcrent methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems from sources common to all intellecmal lik. TOPICS The general topics of study have been chosen from elemcntm·y physical and biological sciences. CT1e sequence of smdy may be outlined as follows: 0 ISTYEAR 12 weeks: Observational biology 20 weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry OF THE 1bpics in physics: mechanics, optics, heat, elemicity, magnetism 0 111c laboratory program is largely determined by three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the study of science: (1) The formally scheduled experimental work must be combined with a foll and free discussion of the instruments and principles involved in it. (::i) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific discipline to its roots in principle, assumption, and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of sub1ect maners are to be selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (J) The schedule oflaboratory work should giVe opportunity for leismely but intensive experimentation. The students must have time to satisl)1 themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, an cl on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can they come to a mature m1derstanding of the sciences called "exact." A laboratory section consists of fourteen to sixteen students working under the guida11cc of a tutor, with the help of more advanced srndents serving as assistams. Sections meet two or three times a week. A laboratory session may be used for exposition and discussion of theory, for experimentation, or for both, as the progress of the work requires. In most cases, the basis for discussion is a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, lVfaxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr arc among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mL1.l:ure of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. 14 The Curriculum 10 weeks: 18weeks: Quantum physics Genetics, evolution, molecu]m· biology FmsT The labora:cory begins with twelve weeks devoted to topics in observational biology: classification of types, anatomical structure, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, and embryological development. Close observation by the naked eye or with microscopes is accompanied by constant theoretical interpretation, based on reading important works of biological scientists. Here tl1e swdent confronts orgmlisms as scU~moving entities \\~th properties of wholeness, intimately dependent on, yet clistinct from, tlle surrmmdingworld. The freshman laboratory ne:\..rt tmns to the nonliving in a search for fundamental laws. Archimedes on the lever m1d on hydrostatics is studied, then the laws of equilibrium of gases, temperature, and calorimetry m'e taken up, experimentally and in discussion of the relevant theories. These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the theory that matter is composed of discrete particles. The student compm·es the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance m1cl substantial change, and goes on to study mid discuss impommt original texts bem·ing on the development of tlle atonlic-molecular tl1eory. Experiments m·e performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the physical [md chemical transformation of which they speak. The year's work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an exmnination of some consequences of this determination. THE THIRD YEAR TI1e third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a m1mber of the traditional divisions of physics, such as med1m1ics, optics, m1d electrnmag11etism. Throughout the year, e1'.1Jerimentation is accompanied by the reading of importm1t original writings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Nevvton, Leibniz, Cm,not, and Mmnvell. The mathematical tools of physics are to be put to work in the laboratory at the same time that tl1eir rigorous development is pursued in the mathematics tutorials. As the tools of tllc calculus become available, the emphasis shifts from a direct, qualitative descrip- tion of force, acceleration, work, energy, and potential fields to their reformulation in terms of derivative and integral; at the same time, the physical concepts serve to illustrate the mathematical ideas. The concepts of mechm1ics are to be used to formulate alternative theories oflight - corpusculm· and wave - and the success of either theory in accounting for optical phenomena is examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism m·e smdicd observationally m1d experimentally, m1d formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromag11etic theory oflight. The Curriculum 15 �THE FOURTH YEAR ln many ways, the work of the senior year is a rcnun to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first semester, the senior laboratory takes Ltp anew the theory of atom ism - but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quanu1m hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrodinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers <md related experiments, tl1e concepts of panicle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. The Laboratory program ends as it began - with a srudy ofliving organisms. In the spring of the senior year, students finally confront the evidence and argu- 16 The Curriculum ments for their modern views of evolution and genetics. The semester begins with Darwin and Mendel, proceeds to a synthesis, and theu traces developments in cellular and molecular biology which are thought to undergird this synthesis, as presented in seminal papers by twentieth century biologists. In addition, this work raises questions about whether there is purpose in nature, whether there are natural kinds, what distinquishes living from non-living, whether living things have a wholeness, and if so, what is responsible for it. T E FORMAL LECTURE The eurriCLLlum as described so far calls for srudent participation m every active stage of the work. On evenings, however, a different form or instruction occurs. The formal lecwre is the occasion when the students have an opporwnity to listen steadily and The subiect may be closely connected 11~th seminar, tutorial, or laboratory readings or it may open up a new field of interest and test the srndcnts' rcadinec;s to absorb new information and to follow arguments rn unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers ~ue often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecuue. The lecuire is folJowed by a discussion. Here the lecn1rers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: it inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition or a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an oppornmity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom, It is here that they can test the degree or their understanding and the applicability of what they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the su1dents are confromed with opposing views on a given subject Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and nnorials. The Curriculum 17 �ST.

It also advises che rnuJts to the faculty. The commin:ec consists of the tutors on (b.uis aml nvclvc tutors, six elected sit with the each campus of the the lm;uuction Committee ex officio The deans preside over the ,instruction Co1m111ttee on their own ccrmpus. rhc members ofrhe comrnmee on each campus constitute the Instruction Commiuec for rhat campus The foll comthe two at campuses . and the dean at lhc host campus those c1:11nrt::1J At St. John's, the teaching members of the faculty are called tutors. The title professor is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the nttors to expound doctTines in tl1eir field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups Vl~th persons at different stages oflearningworking together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by sntdying the tein: that is the principal teacher of the class - it might be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wrote from the high point of their learning. \:\1Jia1 then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the nitors? First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage chc intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Nen, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions The tutors should be reaclyto supply helpful and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the cuwrs is to question, to listen, ancl to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration, or explanation, but first of all the rutor will call on the srudems to try to help themselves. In order that conversations at St. John's will nm be limited to what fits neatly inside a single discipline, it is essential that St. John's tutors re-educate themselves to acquire increase cl understanding in chose pans of the program that are outside their field of post-graduate training. For example, tutors 11~th advm1ced degrees in mathematics would prepare themselves to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage of this for swdents is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not parry their far-rangi_ng with the these matters are handled in another department. There are no departments! '!11C advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with of works of such richness that are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John's program. This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time nnor is confined to a single part of the 24 The J\caclcmjc Order progran1. They are, mid have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two nuorials or of one nuorial and a laboratory section, and they are continually tG1ching their colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time w probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John's than the preparntion for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the cverprcsent clanger of succumbing to routine performance, they arc granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Bccween sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups arc set up. Leaders of such groups me sometimes relieved of part of their ordinary reaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a sub1cct chosen by themselves or the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other instinitions may join the group for cenain periods. Although the subJeCt under swcly may not be directly I elated to the Sr. John's curriculum, the work oi' the snidy groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at Sc. John's.

Seminar ESSAYS AND EXAMINATIONS Annually in Annapolis and each semester in Santa Fe, all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors submit essays to their seminar leaders on some aspect of the liberal arts. These essays are based directly upon books in the program. SCHEDULES Perhaps the most distinctive mark of St. John's College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book ofEuclid's Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles' funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. 26 The Academic Order ORAL EXAMINATIONS Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods oflaboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for threeand- one-half hours to four-and-one-half hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six hours each week in the laboratory. Each week there are two evening seminars, lasting two hours or more. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to nineteen hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of sixteen weeks each. Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are held. These are conducted by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of their study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of their classes. For freshmen, the first oral examination of the year is given before the winter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin. Seminar Formal Lecnrre THE ALGEBRA EXAMINATION Before the second semester of their sophomore year, students must pass an examination in elementary algebra and trigonometry. Review sessions are offered. THE FINAL ESSAY AND ORAL EXAMINATION In the senior year, the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of the four years' work. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at the start of the second semester are reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes. If the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined about it by the committee in an hour-long public examination. No degree is awarded unless both the essay and the oral examination are satisfactory. The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student's learning. The Academic Order 27 �In the junior year, conferences replace some of the don rags. In conferences, students report on their own work, and then the tutors comment on that report. By the time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student's work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. LETTER GRADES ACADEMIC STANDING Because St. John's classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students' progress from day to day. The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student's total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of ability and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John's is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for grades. Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John's, attendance at all regularly scheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. THE DoN RAG Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a semester, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors meet with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students' work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors' reports and comment on their own work. Advice may be requested and given; difficulties may be aired; but grades are not reported or discussed. 28 The Academic Order Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on request. The tutor's comprehensive judgment of a student is reported to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, Dor F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has stopped, the student is asked to leave the college. SOPHOMORE ENABLING Sophomore enabling is a review by the Instruction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of sophomores, of the student's learning during the two years spent in the college. The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling procedure. Consequently, no students are enabled to enter the junior class unless they have written a satisfactory essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are sufficiently prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student writing an acceptable senior essay. THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS The student who completes tlle four-year curriculum satisfactorily is awarded the degree ofBachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, but they spend their first summer in completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John's seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is tlle equivalent of approximately one hundred thirty-four semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN'S In a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps tlle best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John's alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfanilliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John's graduates follow a wide variety of career patl1s. Surveys of alumni have yielded tlle following statistics: • 6.6% work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry. • 9-4% choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreigu service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ ecology. Approximately 70% of our alumni pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with around 15% of each graduating class entering graduate and professional programs directly after St. Johns. Doctoral degrees earned by St. John's alumni split about evenly between humanities and science/mathematics. Our students consistently score above the national average on the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) and Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). The Career Services Office on each campus assists students in planning for advanced study and in preparing tlleir applications. THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS Tutors who have completed two years of teaching at St. John's may receive a master's degree in liberal arts. They must petition tlle Instruction Committee for permission to present themselves as candidates for the degree. They must then submit a thesis on a topic approved by tlle Instruction Committee and stand for an oral examination upon it. The topic must have some bearing on the understanding and practice of the liberal arts. • 2r.9% are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • r8.8% are in communications or the arts; • I?-3% are in business or business-related occupations; • 9. ?'Yo work in the field oflaw, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 9-4% work in computers/sciences/ mathematics; • 6.9% work in tlle health professions, mainly as physicians; The Academic Order 29 �THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM'' Litcrat11m: SEMINAR Horner: !liar!, Odynq I\eschylus: Aga1J1em1w11.

These programs, inspired by that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive feauircs: the curriculum consists exclLLsively of classic or "great" books used as tex1s, and all classes arc conducted as small groLLp discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and v1ith varied interests and prolessions. question about the assig11cd reading. In the tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students (twelve to six-i:een) focuses more intensively on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, shon literary leJcts, or dense <Lrguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the suidy ofa single book or topic and requires that srndents write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecuiring in their field or expertise. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS The aim o!'the program is to help sntdems formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Suidents must complete frmr of' these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Ans degree (thirty-six semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely integrated program of study. Classes arc small and based on discussion of classic texts, but dilkr in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which fourteen to nineteen smdents engage in a discussion initiated by a tutor's 30 The Graduate InsLitute eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. StLtclents may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master's essay may be wTittcn by slllderns who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately siJny to ninet~y smclents have been enrolled on each campus during each session.

The Graduate Tnstitule 31 �DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS The aim of the Eastern Classics program is to help students seek a deeper understanding of the fundamental and enduring questions that have been raised by thoughtful human beings in the rich traditions of the East. Its course of study consists of thirty-four semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Santa Fe campus. The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. In the seminar, fourteen to eighteen students discuss assigned readings from a wide range of Indian, Chinese, and Japanese texts. In the tutorial, twelve to fifteen students study either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. The goal is not mastery, but rather sufficient familiarity with the elements of the languages to gain some insight into their structure and to translate selected short passages from classical texts. In the preceptorial, eight to twelve students study a single work or theme for an eight-week period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged.

John's College is a community dedicated to liberal education. Liberally educated human beings, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John's College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great books - texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures - because they express most originally and often most perfectly the ideas by which contemporary life is knowingly or unknowingly governed. These books are the most important teachers. They are both timeless and timely; they illuminate the persisting questions of human existence, and they bear directly on the problems we face today. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not of merely academic concern or remote from our true interests. They change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human questions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treatises, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other. They draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. This conversation, however, is unavoidably one-sided. The great books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To remedy this defect is the goal of the St. John's seminar. Here a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, attempt to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing to submit their opinions to one another's questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. On the other hand, it may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are - to help the students make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 7 face. And it is the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic - the arts oflanguage; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy - the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experiment, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. Whatever methods are used, they all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to win knowledge of the world around them and knowledge of themselves in this world and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the wantonness of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. The aim of the education offered by St. John's College is the liberation of the human intellect. This is an education for all, regardless of a person's race, ethnicity, sex, religious beliefs, country of origin, economic background, age, disability or sexual orientation. By reading great books and struggling together with the fundamental questions that they raise, students and their teachers learn from their differences and discover more deeply their shared humanity. In this and other ways, a diversity of background and experience enriches our community oflearning. Because it offers an education for all, St. John's College has sought and continues to seek to make its program of study known and available to people of diverse backgrounds. �8 {THE CURRICULUM} THE SEMINAR T he heart of the curriculum is the seminar - a discussion of assigned readings from the boo~s of the program. In each seminar seventeen to twentyone students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, for two hours or sometimes longer if the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around eighty pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. The seminar begins with a question asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists mostly of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not just to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at will. The resulting informality is tempered by the use of formal modes of address. Once underway, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and aggression and to bring to the surface the students' opinions and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity's ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading, but bearing only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the coffee shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument - an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and trying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn, gradually also, that to some extent the procedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy, and it can require a different approach. Such progress in learning together may be crowned by sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of "following the argument," of facing the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to {ST. JOHN'S a question. More often than not the question remains open with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the "right" opinion or interpretation. It is to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections and to help the students in every way possible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question "Why?" But COLLEGE} 9 the leaders may also take a definite and positive stand and enter directly into the argument. If they do so, however, they can expect no special consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. Consequently, all opinions must be defended with reason, and any single opinion can prevail only by general consent. The aim is always to develop the students' powers of reason and understanding, and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, sophomore, and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes a major part of the process called enabling (see page 3I). �JO {THE {ST. CURRICULUM} THE PRECEPTORIAL or about seven to eight weeks at the end of the first semester seminus of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually given a choice of twenty-five to thirty p:receptorials on books or subjects of interest to the tutors who offer them. Students may suggest a topic and invite a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the program, some preceptorials may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more than ten students in a preceptori81. Guided by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more than that permitted by the seminar. Usually, the students' work is completed by some form of written work, either a formal paper or a presentation to the class. Listed below are some of the preceptorial subjects offered on the two campuses in recent years.

By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and writing, Other learning devices must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, around a table, about thirteen to sixteen students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small g:roup to work toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstration, of an important work As in the seminar, students talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and insight to their fellows. Other tutors occasionally attend, seeking to learn about a particular subject that they may later teach. Writing assignments are normally made in all classes: mathematics, music, and laboratory sections, as well as in language tutorials. The students are thus called upon continually to articulate and organize their thinking in both the written and formso THE LANGUAGE TUTORIAL in higher education has led to a profound neglect oflanguage skills. As countTy is separated from country the barrier oflanguage, so is separated from profession by technical jargon. Primarily, the lang1iage tutorial attempts to this condition by training in the COLLEGE} JI means of precise communication. In a b:road sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and ambiguities of terms; to the role of metaphors, analogies and images; and to the logical relations that connect propositions. The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years, and French in the third and fourth yea:rs) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with the students learn something of the nature of languages in general and of their own in particular. the four years, then, they study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, they study their own language. discover the resources of articulate and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent and effective - if it is to be adequate In the beginning, the is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language studied, Thus the reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more and analytical study, one that is concerned with details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work. Those are matters that do �12 {THE CURRICULUM} not come directly into seminar discussions. The students' concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understandand increases their ability to think clearly and to speak welL A secondary pnrpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar.

JOHN'S THE MATHEMATICS TUTORIAL Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning "to learn." It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathematical. It is equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John's is studied as a liberal art, not artificially from what have come to be called the humanities. When mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for d1eir elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John's, mathematics becomes not the most learnable liberal art but also one that provides ready access to others and significai't analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studying mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines it. Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiaricy with the mathematical methods which it is managed, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their application. It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to help students to think about what it means to count and measure things in the universe. The second main reason for studying mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically Since mathematics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human capacity for learning, its study is ly useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know something. COLLEGE} 13 To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study al'tfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and gain noticeably in xigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? 'ii\!hat is a rnathematic<e>J system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? 'IX/hat is the relation of logic to mathematics? What do "better" and "worse," "ugly" and "beautiful" in mathematics? Do mathematical constitute a f.J:e there "mathematical objects"? How might the discoverer of a theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger of the seminar. The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid's of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical its central expression found in the of ratios - which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy's Almagest, centering their attention on the problem of "hypotheses" constructed to "save the appearances" in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between the mathematics �14 {THE CURRICULUM} tutorial at SL John's and the course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: His work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, and religious readings that a:re taken up in the first and second years. In the the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with upon those difficulties and of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into heliocentric form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic of the very whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an of algebra as the In the third year, calculus is studied both analytically in its modern form and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. In the second semester, students take up Newton's treatment of astronomy in the Principia, in which he brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and a astronomy with a in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The year concludes vvith an examination of Dedekind's of :real numbers, the endeavor to a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The mathematics tntorial is both an introduction to and a foundation fo:r the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski's to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 15 of the geometric art as a whole. Seniors also Einstein's special ofrelativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. THE MUSIC TUTORIAL One of the aims of the Sc John's program has been to restore music as a liberal art to the curriculum. The study of music at St. John's is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind's power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the :ratios among whole numbers. In the music program at St . John's aims at the of music through close of musical and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year, students meet once a week to the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place smgmg, and by the second semester the students perform some of the great choral works. In the sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides continuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intirelated to rhetoric, and poetry. On the other, it is a and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial includes an investigation of rhythm in wo:rds as well as in notes, a thorough of the diatonic system, a musical intervals, and a consideration of and harmony None of these are done apart from the sounding realil::'j of good music. The inventions of Bach, the songs of Schubert, the masses of Palestrma, the St. 1Vlatthew Passion of Bach, the operas of Mozart, and the instrumental works of Beethoven are the real textbooks. In the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. �16 {THE CURRICULUM} THE LABORATORY T hree hundred years ago, algebra and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by Rene Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, politics, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the St. John's program and one that the college takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last two years of the program exhibit the far-reaching changes that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period from Homer to Descartes. Modern mathematics has made possible the exploration of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast project of study conceived by the great thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. Liberal learning is concerned with the artifices of the human mind and hand that help us to relate our experiences to our understanding. For this purpose, St. John's has set up a three-year laboratory in the natural sciences, wherein characteristic and related topics of physics, biology, and chemistry are pursued. There is the art of measurement, which involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measurement; crucial experiments are reproduced; the interplay of hypothesis, theory, and fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is supported by the {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 17 mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques. The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research. It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills. The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the humanities, as if they were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. Different fields of exploration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems from sources common to all intellectual life. THE ORGANIZATION OF THE LABORATORY WORK The laboratory program is largely determined by three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the study of science: (r) The formally scheduled experimental work must be combined with a full and free discussion of the instruments and principles involved in it. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific discipline to its roots in principle, assumption, and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters are to be selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (3) The schedule of laboratory work should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation. The students must have time to satisfy themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can they come to a mature understanding of the sciences called "exact." A laboratory section consists of fourteen to sixteen students working under the guidance of a tutor, with the help of more advanced students serving as assistants. Sections meet two or three times a ·week. A laboratory session may be used !Or exposition and discussion of theory, for experimentation, or for both, as the progress of the work requires. In most cases, the basis for discussion is a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Harvey, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. �18 [THE LABORATORY TOPICS THE FIRST YEAR have been chosen from physical and biological sciences. The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: The laboratory begins with twelve weeks devoted to topics in observational biology: classification of types, anatomical structure, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, and embryological development. Close observation by the naked eye or with microscopes is accompanied by constant theoretical interpretation, based on reading important works of biological scientists. Here the student confronts organisms as self-moving entities with properties of wholeness, intimately dependent on, yet distinct from, the surrounding world. The freshman laboratory next turns to the nonliving in a search for fundamental laws. Archimedes on the lever and on hydrostatics is studied, then the laws of equilibrium of gases, temperature, and rsrYEAR 12 20 weeks: Observational biology weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry Topics in physics: mechanics, optics, heat, electricity, magnetism 10 weeks: Quantum physics 18weeks: Genetics, evolution, molecular biology {ST. CURRICULUM} JOHN'S calorimetry are taken up, experimentally and in discussion of the relevant theories. These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the theory that matter is composed of discrete The student compares the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance and substantial change, and goes on to study and discuss important original texts bearing on the development of the atomic-molecular theory. Experiments are performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the physical and chemical transformation of which they speak. The year's work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this determination. THE THIRD YEAR The third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional divisions of physics, such as mechanics, and electromagnetism. Throughout the year, experimentation is accompanied the reading of impmtant original writings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, and Maxwell. The mathematical tools of physics are to be put to work in the laboratory at the same time that their rigorous development is pursued in the mathematics tutoriak As the tools of the calculus become available, the emphasis shifts from a direct, qualitative description of force, acceleration, work, energy, and fields to their reformulation in terms of derivative and integral; at the same time, the concepts serve to illustrate the mathematical ideas. The concepts of mechanics are to be used to formulate alternative theories of light - corpuscular and wave - and the success of either theory in accounting for optical phenomena is COLLEGE} 19 examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromagnetic theory of light. THE FOURTH YEAR In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first ten weeks, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism - but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schri:idinger, Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meanmg. The Laboratory program ends as it began - with a study of living organisms, In the spring of the senior year, students finally confront the evidence and arguments for their modern views of evolution and genetics. The semester with Darwin and Mendel, synthesis, and then traces in cellular and molecular biology which are thought to undergird this as in seminal papers by 20th centmy biologists. In addition, this work raises questions about whether there is purpose in nature, whether there are natural kinds, what distinquishes living from non-living, whether living things have a wholeness, and if so, what is for it. �20 {THE THE FORMAL LECTURE T {ST. CURRICULUM} he curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar readings or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students' readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: It inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability of what they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials. Others may have a lasting effect on the direction that students' work takes within the framework of the program.

CURRICULUM} he list of books that serves as the core of the curriculum had its beginnings at Columbia College, at the University of Chicago, and at the University of Since r937, it has been under continuous review at St. John's College. The distribution of the books over the four years is significant. More than two thousand years of intellectual history form the background of the first two years; about three hundred years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understanding of the liberal arts; the second year ranges from the Hebrew Bible to the sixteenth century seeds of the has books of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most of which were written in modern languages; the fourth year brings the reading into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The chronological order in which the books are read is primarily a matter of convenience and intelligibility; it does not a historical approach to the subject matte:ro The St. John's curriculum seeks to convey to students an understanding of the fundamental problems that human beings have to face today and at all times. It invites them to reflect both on their continuities and their discontinuities. The list of books that constitute the core of the SL John's program is subject to Instruction Committee of the faculty. Those listed here are read at one or both campuses, although not always in their entirety. Books read in seminar an asterisk. COLLEGE} 23 FRESHMAN YEAR ST.

The title professor is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at ilifferent stages oflearning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying the text that is the principal teacher of the class - it might be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wrote from the high point of their learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at , understanding. In summary, the role of i the tutors is to question, to listen and to '1· help. The help might take the form of ,'translation, experimentation, demon;'$tration or explanation, but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to help themselves. In order that conversations at St. John's 'II not be limited to what fits neatly ide a single discipline, it is essential St. John's tutors re-educate thems to acquire increased understanding those parts of the program that are oute their field of post-graduate training. r example, tutors with advanced ees in mathematics would prepare ORDER} 27 themselves to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage of this for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not parry their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. There are no departments! The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John's program. This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and they are continually teaching their colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John's than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up . Leaders of such groups are sometimes relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by themselves or the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John's curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John's. �28 {THE ACADEMIC P T THE LIBRARY T he books chosen for study at St. John's are collected in the best editions and translations that can be obtained. These works form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes serving as secondary sources and representative works in the major fields of learning. Holdings are most extensive in philosophy, literature, and the history of science. The library also provides newspapers and periodicals, audio-visual materials, multiple copies of some seminar readings, and other smaller collections. A faculty committee assists the librarians with collection development. The libraries on the two campuses have a total collection of over 165,000 volumes. The Greenfield Library in Annapolis was renovated in 1996, and occupies the old historic building formerly known as the Maryland Hall of Records. The library's catalog is available online, as are library JOHN'S SCHEDULES THE INSTRUCTION COMMITTEE he Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the presidents on appointments to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and twelve tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year. The full committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those annual meetings. {ST. ORDER} databases and other electronic resources. Internet access is provided via the public terminals. Comfortably situated study spaces with subtle natural light are available for reading and contemplation. The music library is housed apart in the Mellon building, and offers sound recordings and printed scores, all available for loan. The Faith and John Meem Library opened in Santa Fe in 1990. It offers a variety of study areas designed to accommodate up to half of the student body at a given time, including two 2'4-hour study rooms, and a music room with listening carrels and a collection of compact discs, records, and tapes. The library also provides public terminals for accessing the online catalog, electronic resources and the Internet. Both libraries hold interesting special collections, including several hundred early or first editions of works read in the Program. Annapolis has retained several of the original books from the Bray Collection, dating from 1696 and known as the "first public library in America." It also possesses the Prettyman Collection of Signed and Inscribed Books, some 800 titles of first editions signed by the authors. The Witter Bynner Collection and the Edgar Allen Poe Collection in Santa Fe contain first editions of each poet, as well as other belles lettres. In addition, the Santa Fe library contains a faculty and alumni publications collection and the Holtzman Music Collection. erhaps the most distinctive mark of St. John's College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid's Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles' funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. 29 COLLEGE} Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods of laboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-andone-half hours to four-and-one-half hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six hours each week in the laboratory. Each week there are two evening seminars, lasting two hours or more. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to nineteen hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of sixteen weeks each.

These essays are based directly upon books in the program. ORAL EXAMINATIONS Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are held" These are conducted by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of their study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of their classes. For freshmen, the first oral examination of the year is given before the winter vacation, and for and seniors just before {ST ORDER} THE ALGEBRA EXAMINATION Before the second semester of their sophomore year, students must pass an examination in elementary algebra and trigonometry. Review sessions are offered. THE FINAL ESSAY AND ORAL EXAMINATION In the senior year, the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of the four years' work. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at the start of the second semester are reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes. If the final essay is approved the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined about it by the committee in an hour-long examination. No degree is awarded unless both the essay and the oral examination are satisfactory. The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student's learning. JOHN'S ACADEMIC STANDING ecause SL John's classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students' progress from day to day. The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student's total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough fo:r great diversity of interest, performance and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of ability and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John's is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and for grades, Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at Sc John's, attendance at all regularly scheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. COLLEGE} 31 time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student's work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal prnbationary period is one semester. LETTER GRADES Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on request. The tutor's comprehensive judgment of a student is reported to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, Dor F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has stopped, the student is asked to leave the college. THEDoNRAG SOPHOMORE ENABLING Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a semester, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors meet with their tutors in the don rag, The tutms report to one of the seminar leaders on the students' work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to thelI tutors' reports and comment on their own work. Advice may be requested and given; difficulties may be aired; but grades are not reported o:r discussed. In the junior yea1\ conferences replace some of the don rags. In conferences, students report on their own work, and then the tutors comment on that report. By the Sophomore enabling is a review the Instruction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of sophomores, of the student's learning during the two years spent in the The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling procedure. Consequently, no students are enabled to enter the junior class unless they have ,written a satisfactory essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are sufficiently prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enablii-ig judgment looks to the possibility of the student writing an acceptable senior essay. �32 {THE ACADEMIC THE ST.

JOHN'S COLLEGE} 33 THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION -=.,.,,.,..,._he Graduate Institute at St. John's College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, inspired by that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS he aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reacting and diswith others the great books of the Vlestern tradition. The readings are organized into five segn1ents: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts degTee (thirty-six semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely integrated program of study. Classes are small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which fourteen to nineteen students engage in a discussion initiated a tutor's question about the assigned reading. In the tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students (twelve to SL'Cteen) focuses more intensively on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the study of a single book or and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not and lead classes the discussion, rather than in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and spring terms, and usually four are offered in the eight-week summer term In the fall and spring terms, classes meet two da_ys a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate" During the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses.

Its course of study consists of thirty-four semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Santa Fe campus. The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. In the seminar, fouTteen to eighteen students discuss assigned readings from a wide range of Indian, Chinese, and texts. In the tutorial, twelve to fifteen students study either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. The goal is not mastery, but rather sufficient familiarity with the elements of the languages to gain some insight into their structure and to translate selected short passages from classical texts. In the preceptorial, eight to twelve students study a single work or theme for an eightweek period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Facuky members are called tutors, not professors, and lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged. �36 3?

Such activities in Annapolis are sponsored by the Assistant Dean, the Director of Athletics, and the Senior Resident for Student Activities. The Delegate Council disburses funds from the activities fee to student clubs. In Santa Fe they are variously sponsored and supported by the Assistant Dean, the Student Activities Office (SAO), College Events Office (CEO), the Director of Residential Life, and the Student Polity. THE ANNAPOLIS CAMPUS S ince its founding as King William's School in r696, St. John's has been situated in the colonial seaport town of Annapolis, capital of the State of Maryland. Its population of 40,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the state and of Anne Arundel County; with the training of midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy; with the fish, crab, and oyster industry; and with the sailing and recreational activities of the Chesapeake Bay. The campus of thirty-six acres lies in the historic district, adjoining College Creek, one block from the State House and across the street from the Naval Academy yard. The fifteen buildings include r8th-century historic homes, rgth-century Victorian structures, and 20th and 2rst-century buildings designed to complement the older ones. There are eight student dormitories, offering single, double, and triple rooms. The community of students has governed itself since r945 with elected officers and delegates representing each dormitory and the off-campus constituency. The Student Polity representatives, called the Delegate Council, meet once a week to hear requests from students for funds, to remind STUDENT 39 LIFE} students of their responsibilities to the college community, and to express student opinion on common problems. The Delegate Council also meets with college officials to discuss matters of mutual concern and maintains a Student Committee on Instruction, which works with the Faculty Instruction Committee on academic matters. A Food Committee works with the dining hall manager to develop satisfactory dishes for regular and vegetarian menus. The Gadfly, a student newspaper, provides a second medium for expression of opinion to the community as a whole. Controversy ranges from petty to vital; essays, reviews, and news are included. Energeia, the college's student-run literary magazine, is published annually and contains longer and more polished essays, poetry, and fiction. Students are also welcome to contribute to The College, an official publication of St. John's. Extracurricular organizations at St. John's are generally informal. Some continue year after year, while others spring up and die out as the individual members of the community come and go. Many extracurricular activities grow directly out of the curriculum as students' interests overflow from the classroom. The past years have seen small classes and study groups some led by students, others by tutors - in harmony, Latin, Chinese, German, the New Testament, Hegel, Leibniz, African-American literature, and selected women writers. Other activities stem from interests independent of the college curriculum, such as astronomy, dance, and the martial arts. A network of PC and Macintosh computers is available for student use in a computer lab. The lab, open 24 hours a day, serves mainly to provide students with free access to word-processing and Internet services. Students can use the lab for writing essays, corresponding by e-mail, printing out papers written on personal computers, and exploring the World Wide Web. All dorm rooms are wired for Internet access. Theater life is active. The King William Players stage one or two classical plays a year, perform one or two modern works, and produce several one-act plays. Recent productions have included The Winter's Tale, The Nature and Purpose of the Universe, Phaedre, The Midlife Crisis of Dionysus and The Tempest. The student film club presents foreign and domestic films, many of them classics of the cinematic art. The selection is eclectic: recent screenings have included Reservoir Dogs, Potemkin, Citizen Kane, and The Seventh Seal. There are also more specialized film clubs, including anime, and occasional film series. Music is pursued in groups and individually. Voice and instrumental ensembles train new members and perform at collegia at the end of each semester. The St. John's Chorus has recently presented concerts featuring Faure's Requiem, Schubert's Mass in G, and early vocal music. The college provides practice rooms, including a rock room, and pianos and a music library of scores and recordings. Private study can be easily arranged on campus or in town. Individual artistic expression needs a time for training and a place to work. Permanent facilities, such as the art studio, ceramic studio, woodworking shop, photography darkroom, and stage floor, provide places to develop specific skills. Various artists teaching in their fields of specialization conduct classes in drawing, painting, sculpture, and pottery throughout the year. Materials and tools are furnished without charge in most cases. The college's Mitchell Art Gallery specializes in circulating exhibitions by artists of major stature. Recent shows have included Rembrandt Etchings, Japanese Woodblock Prints, The Figure in 20th Century Sculpture and Space and Place: Mapmaking East and West. Lectures and discussions are scheduled during each show. An exhibit in the spring displays work by members of the college community. There are periodic trips to galleries and museums in Washington and Baltimore; transportation is free of charge for St. John's students. There are frequent Sunday concerts at the college, and the Political Forum invites �40 {ST. JOHN'S lecturers to speak on weekday evenings. Annapolis itself offers church groups of all denominations, synagogues, concerts, plays, historic tours, seafood, sailing, the Naval Academy, hiking, cycling, state government, political work, community service groups, ai-id so on. Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland, both within an hour's drive, offer activities too numerous to mention; the Senior Resident for Student Activities schedules trips to both cities to attend and films, as well as for individual explorations. Parties, an important part of community life, come in several varieties. The St. John's \Y/altz Committee arranges frequent parties in the Great Hall, featmingwaltzes and big-band swing music. These parties include the Halloween Masked Ball, Mid-Winter Ball, Croquet Cotillion, and Commencement Waltz. Rock parties are held in the Coffee Shop members of the junior class, who also organize V/eekend, a festival in late spring. begins with student skits and parodies, and then two full days of picnicking, games, movies, and music. Students are involved in a variety of service activities. Project Politae brings students from local public schools to campus for with reading and math, and St. John's students have been volunteering on site in and middle schools COLLEGE} for a number of years. Other recent volunteer activities have included participation in Habitat for Humanity projects, local and restoration environmental work - including the restoration of our own creek waterfront back to marsh - participation in Red Cross blood drives and work in local senior centers and churches. While it is important for students to be involved in less academic pursuits, it remains characteristic of the college that a great deal of student-initiated extracurricular consists of groups. Students meet together regularly, with or without an invited tutor, to study a book they have :read fo:r class in greater depth, or to things that are not on the programo Some groups are continued for years, others have a definite and disband when it has been met. Focuses of recent and current include Gernian and Latin, Greek translation, the Hebrew Bible, the Greek testament, mathematical logic, Shakespeare's history plays, Homer's Odyssey, and Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. It is a reflection of the centrality of the of going beyond the limits of the classroom that when our alumni return for Homecoming, the focus of the weekend is a variety of seminars on readings suggested by both alumni and faculty. ATHLETICS The college an extensive intramural sports program that includes team competition in soccer, flag football, handball, basketball, and croquet, as well as individual tournaments in tennis and table tennis. This organized ular program, for both men and women, is a mainstay of the college's extracurricular life. students abandon athletics when they enter college because they find programs designed for only the select fewo At St. John's, they are able to rediscover the joy of amateur athletics in a welcoming {RESIDENCE & setting. Competition between intramural teams is passionate, but good-natured. Students and faculty also pursue interests in fencing (the Fencing Union has regular bouts with local clubs and universities), aikido, yoga, weight training, tai chi, dance, aerobics, and Pilates. Alumni, siblings, faculty, staff, and even parents may participate. Located at the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Severn River, Annapolis is synonymous with water sports. The Hodson Boathouse, one of the loveliest in the mid-Atlantic region, serves as headquarters for an active crew program. Sweep-oar rowing and sculling are very popular activities. The college team practices five mornings per week and competes in intercollegiate regattas. Many Johnnies learn to row just for fun. The college has a small fleet of boats, from lasers to a 22-foot Cape Dory along with many rowing dinghies, canoes and in which students may explore the beauties of the Chesapeake Bay. An annual sail picnic, organized by The Friends of St. John's, provides an opporfor sailing aboard large yachts. In addition, SL John's has a formed intercollegiate sailing team. As a member of Mid-Atlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association, the St. John's Sailing Team competes in four regattas per semester in 42os and lasers. The sailing team has a dedicated coach and practices several times a week, scnrnrnages vvith the Naval Academy. Croquet, too, has a large following, and each a team from SL John's takes on the Naval Academy in a much celebrated match for the Annapolis Athletic facilities on campus include playing fields, tennis courts, a gymnasium with a racquetball court, a well-equipped weight room, a dance studio, and a susrunning track. STUDENT LIFE} 41 THE SANTA FE CAMPUS n the early r96os the college decided to expand its student body. The Board of Visitors and Governors chose to establish a campus in the West, rather than sacrifice the virtues of a small campus. St. John's College in Santa Fe was opened in the fall of 1964 in New Me:x.ico's founded in 1610 Spanish colonistso Its tri-cultural population of 65,000 is occupied principally with the government of the state and of Santa Fe County; with cultural pursuits in the fine arts, museums, and opera; and with archaeological and historical research. Scientists in Los Alamos do research in nuclear physics and related fields. Neighboring institutions of higher education include the Institute of American Indian .Arts, the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe "'u,,11.mlu11Lv College, and the University of New Nie:rLico in miles to the south, Jl..lbuquerque the attni.ctions and conveniences of a of 500,000 people. The campus of 250 acres lies in the southeast quadrant of the city, two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architecture of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state durin.g the 19th century. The campus, at an elevation of 7,300 feet, overlooks the ~md offers views of the Cerrillos, the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The campus includes a classroom building, a science building, a a student center, an athletic centeT, a computer laboratory, a music and fine arts building, an administration building, three clusters of dormitories, and ten furnished, two-bedroom apartments. A conference services office, dining hall, and student health office are also located in these buildings. �42 {ST. JOHN'S units on the Each of the r6 main campus houses from 12 to 18 students, and the eight dorm suites, which house five serve as smaller communities of friends within the college. More than half the rooms are singles. The others are u"""' m::u in suites of two or three rooms to each student with the uwn quarters and, at the same time, close companionship with a fellow student. Each of the eight dorm suites house five private rooms. Students living in these dorms are for all cleaning in their rooms, bathroom, and common room. The Director of Residential Life helps students to find roommates. Since both the size of the college and the form of the program a:re conducive to informal and direct communication, students in Santa Fe find it effective to work out problems and ideas on an individual basis with the administration and COLLEGE} as well as through the machinery of a formal, elected student government, known as the Student The Student Polit-y has a substantial budget and hears requests from students to fund various activities. It maintains a Student Review Board which assistance to students offers and, at the request of the Dean or Jl,ssistant Dean, may deliberate concerning cases of student The Polity also maintains a Student Committee on Inst:ruction, which works closely with the Dean and Instruction Committee, and holds occasional panels on academic questions broad interest to the college community. There are permanent student representatives to the Campus Planning Committee and the Board of Visitors and Governors" Students also belong to advisory comIJrnttees, which concern themselves with things as Friday night lectures or the service" {RESIDENCE & Santa Fe students and faculty engage in a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the academic, the artistic and the athletic. While many of these activities are well-established at the college, the community is enlivened by incoming students who bring their interests and talents to the campus. Indeed, many students come to St. John's with definite interests outside the scope of the program and pursue these interests in extra-curricular classes and discussion groups, both on and off campus. Extracurricular reading groups are an and exciting part of academic life at SL John's and are a natural extension of the classroom. Small groups of students and tutors gather for farther study of seminar or tutorial readings or to program books and authors and of interest. Such groups may meet once or twice, fo:r a semester, or even continue from year to yeaL Recent and on-going study group include: Plato's Laws, Proust, Topology and Modern Mathematics, Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception, Heidegger Jazz, Thomas Kuhn, current in international affairs, contemporary Latin American literature, topics in 20th century economics, Plato's Republic, the .American Constitution, and language study groups including Latin, Greek, German, Biblicsl Hebrew, and Sanskxit.

STUDENT LIFE} 45 The college does not participate in formal collegiate athletics and there are no athletic scholarships awarded. The emphasis that the college places on the intellectual growth of students and faculty,, and the absence of any athletic cuniculum should not be mistaken for disdain of athletic endeavors. Despite the rigors of the curriculum, many of our students and facul~y find time to play individual or team sports. BOTH CAMPUSES RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES The Charter ofI784 established St. John's College as a non-denominational institution. In its earlyyears, there were some ties with the Protestant Episcopal Church, but these no longer exist. Many tutors and students attend church or synagog11e in town. FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS The college bookstore on each campus has all the books and supplies the students need for their classes. They also maintain a stock of books related to all of the program, and books of more general interest. They are laboratories on each campus provide a network of personal computers for word processing and internet use. Students can use the facilities to check e-mail, print papers, ·write essays and explore the World Wide Web.

Vegetarian and vegan menus are available. Resident students are required to eat in the dining hall. INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES DORMITORIES The dormitories form small communities within the larger communities, helping the incoming students to make proper use of the support that other students can give them in their college life. The Annapolis and Santa Fe campuses have slightly different housing practices due to differences in available dormitory space. Generally, unmarried undergraduates are to live on campus, space permitting, and to take their meals in the college dining hall, unless they receive µc.1rn",'"vu from the local housing office to live off campus, Only freshmen are guaranteed housing. The college does not guarantee housing for married students. However, in Santa Fe there are a small number of furnished, two-bedroom apartments, that may be available for married students during the academic year. Such students should check with the Admissions Office about the availability of housing on campus or in the local vVHHH~.UH Roon'l is the responsibility of the assistant deans in with the directors ofresidential life. Returning students have the privilege of dxawing for The college remains committed to providing high-quality assistance to students and alumni as they make the transition to activities and pursuits beyond St. John's. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT SERVICES Because both of St. John's campuses are small, cohesive, and supportive communities, there are no separate offices designated for international student services. The Office of the Assistant Dean handles all aspects of student life and provides counseling and guidance on an individual basis. In addition, each new student parin an orientation program at the time of registration. The college's registrars act as advisors to all international students with respect to visa requirements and related matters. Informal "F-1" clubs have been formed by international students together with other students, faculty, and staff for special social events, but, in general, international students find themselves easily in the mainstream of campus academic and social life, An employment service, under the supervision of the Career Services Office, posts off-campus jobs. Primarily, it provides part-rime employment for students during the academic year, but it also can aid students looking for full-time or part-time summer employment in the local commu- CAREER SERV!CES The Career Services Office on each campus offe1·s a wide range of programs and services that include: • individual career counseling • information and assistance in applying to graduate and professional schools • information and assistance in applying for scholarships , assistance with resume-writing and other job-search skills • access to a national almnni career network HEALTH SERVICES A Student Health Center on each campus provides a variety of health services for enrolled students. Counseling services are also available on campus" These services are free of charge or provided at low cost. RULES OF RESIDENCE Social order and the well-being of each student make necessary certain rules of residence governing the use of dormitories. These rules have been decided upon deans in consultation with students and faculty. Every entering student is informed of them, and upperclassmen a:re reminded of them each fall. The rules differ in certain details on the two campuses, though in general they follow the same pattern. The academic and intellectual life of the community is inseparable from the communal life. The building of a good commurequires the faculty to show respect for the individuality of each student. A.11 students agree to abide by the rules and regulations promulgated in the Student STUDENT LIFE} 47 Handbook published annually by the college. St. John's assumes that students will respect not only the enacted rules, but also the community-accepted canons of decent behavior. In extreme cases, where these ca.nous are flouted, the college may require withdrawal of the offending student. The use of illegal drugs and the misuse oflegal drugs, including alcohol, are fundamentally incompatible with the program of study at St. John's College. Students who engage in such activities face severe disciplinary action. PROPERTY DAMAGE The college provides a housekeeping staff to care for the dormitories. The college inspects the rooms periodically and repairs, at the expense of the occupant or occupants, any dormitory room and furniture that have been damaged beyond normal wear and tear. Any damage to property is charged to the caution fee of the student or students for the damage" The college is not responsible for the loss of, or damage to, any student property resulting from fire, theft or any other cause. �48 {SITE ANNAPOLIS, {SITE PLAN} MARYLAND SANTA Hodson Boathouse I PLAN} FE, NEW 49 MEXICO SOCCER FIELD Lower Playing Fields ............

Those who apply want an education that consists of careful reading and consideration of the most demanding books; of serious conversation in which they will learn to consider the thoughts of others as well as their own; and of active participation in their own education. Education at St. John's is a common pmsuit. Each student has a considerable effect on the life and learning of the commm1ity. Most who consider St. John's examine themselves carefully before applying so that when they do, they are saying to themselves and to the college that they want to engage fully in the life of reason and they believe can take in it. In writing their application essays, many determine their own appropriateness as St. John's students; others eliminate themselves as applicants, deciding that their interests and those of the college do not coincide. Thus, for the most part, select themselves. Some are rejected, of course, but a wide variety of students is accepted each year. The purpose of the admission process is to determine whether an applicant has the necessary preparation and ability to complete the St. John's program satisfactorily. The Admissions Committee - five tutors and the Director of Admissions on each campus - regards the application as being a "~'~cwcvH from the applicant: "Do you think I am ready to from the program of studies at St. Job_n's?" In the essays, applicants are asked to discuss their previous education, their reasons for choosing St. John's, and their experience with books. A number of topics are suggested. The essays are designed to enable applicants to give a 51 full account of themselves. They can tell the committee much more than statistical records reveal. Next the committee considers the applicant's academic achievement and promise. Previous academic reco:rds - the secondary school report and college transcript, if there is one - show whether an applicant has the habits of study necessary at St. John's. Letters of reference, particularly those of teachers, are carefully read for indications that the applicant has the maturity, self-discipline, ability, energy, and initiative to succeed in the St. John's program. St. John's attaches little to "objective" test scores, and no applicant is accepted or rejected because of such scores. The committee's decisions are not influenced by the race, religion, sex, age, color, physical handicaps, sexual orientation or national or etlli1ic origin of an or any other factors unrelated to the work of the college. The application asks a minimum of personal data. Need for financial assistance does not affect the committee's decisions on admission. St. John's has decided to remain a small college in which the students and are known to each other. Each campus serves about 450 The size of each class is limited on each campus, Most freshman classes are about divided between men and women. New students are enrolled as freshmen; typically ro3 to r5% of each entering class have done one, two, or even three years of college work elsewhere. These students, despite having good records at other colleges, relinquish their advanced standing to take part in the St. John's program. The Santa Fe campus offers January enrollment. Freshmen who enter in January stay on campus the following summer to complete the first year. They can thus graduate a year earlier than if had �52 {ST. {ADMISSION} postponed their entrance until the following fall The January class is of particular interest to students who come to St. John's from other colleges, who have traveled or worked since graduation from high school, or who wish to enter St. John's immediately after the first semester of their senior year of high school. HoMESCHOOLED STUDENTS I. In lieu of a high school diploma or GED certificate or the equivalent, home schooled applicants must submit the results of the SATl or ACT. 2. They must also submit an outline of the curriculum they have followed, arranged in chronological order by conventional subject matter, with brief descriptions of the course content and texts used. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION ost applicants have a strong background in academic subjects. Specific academic requirements include two ' _,-.,_years of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a foreign language; additional work in mathematics and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. In addition to the essays and secondary school report, each applicant must present transcripts of any college work and two letters of reference, including one from a teacher. In exceptional cases, certain of these requirements may be waived, or additional information may be requested. SAT or ACT test scores are not normally required, but may prove helpful. Occasionally, St. John's accepts an applicant who is not a secondary school graduate. Such students must be well qualified to profit from the college program and must submit either a GED certificate or other evidence of completion of state-approved home schooling, or, in lieu of these, the results of a nationally recognized standardized test (SAT, ACT, PSAT). A campus visit and interview are especially important for such applicants. St. John's admits as regular students those who· I) have a high school ~'''"c"nu, or 2) have a GED certificate or the equivalent, or 3) are beyond the age of compulsory education in their home state. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS St. John's is authorized under federal law to enroll foreign students. In order to be considered for admission, international students must have followed a pre-university course of study and must submit the following documents: I. A completed St. John's application form accompanied by the required essays. 2. Two letters of reference, at least one of which must be from a teacher of an academic subject. 3. An official record of secondary work, with all courses and grades, including the results of the appropriate examinations (e.g. "A" Levels, International Baccalaureate, and so on). This must be accompanied an explanation of the grading system used and an English translation of records in other languages. 4. Test results from: a. The SUldent Assessment Test (SATl) or the American College Test (ACT). b. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required of those applicants whose first language is not English, unless the language of secondaryinstruction has been English. Detailed information for international students may be found on the college's web site: www.stjohnscollege.edu JOHN'S TEST CODE NUMBERS St. John's College's test code numbers for the College Entrance Examination Board (SAT and TOEFL) are: A_1mapolis = 5598; Santa Fe = 4737. The American College Test (ACT) numbers are: Annapolis = r732; Santa Fe = 2649 PROCEDURE t. John's College is one college located on two campuses. Although applications must be initiated and completed at one campus or the other, admission to either campus constitutes admission to the college as a whole. On inquiry, prospective students receive a statement of the St. John's College program, an application for admission and recommendation forms to be completed by schools and references. Applications may be submitted as as the second semester of the eleventh grade. Because the college welcomes all serious applicants, there is no application fee. Students should submit their application materials to the Admissions Office on the campus they prefer to attend. Students planning to apply for financial aid should refer to the section on Fees and Financial Aid and notify the Admissions Office of their intentions as soon as possible. St. John's is committed to maintaining its low student/faculty ratio (8 tor). In order to meet this commitment, the number of students in each freshman class is carefully controlled. Candidates for admission are advised that applicants who meet the suggested deadlines (see below) are in a better p.osition to secure places in the entering classes and early consideration for financial assistance than those who apply later. DEADLINES Applications for fall classes should be filed as possible and preferably no later COLLEGE} 53 than March r; candidates wishing to enroll 111 should apply no later than December r5. Applications are processed on a rolling basis. As soon as the applicat10n essays and supporting documents are recei:ed, the application is reviewed by the Adm1ss10ns Committee. The applicant is notified of the committee's decision in about two weeks. Accepted students have the option to enroll on either campus. Late applications for both fall imd January classes will be considered, but applicants are advised that the earlier their files are completed, the greater their chances of securing positions in the entering class on the campus of their choice. DEPOSITS notification of acceptance, applicants have the option to enroll on either campus. In order to secure a place in the entering class, app:roved must submit a deposit of $300 to the Admissions Office on the campus at which theiT applications were processed, together with a statement specito attend. Once fying the campus the deposit has been submitted, the campus preference may not be changed except as noted below. Deposits are nonrefundable, except as noted below, and are applied to first semester tuition and fees. Deposits (and signed financial aid acceptance forms, if appropriate) are on a first-come, first-served basis until the available are filled. 'l\;pically, the the first week of so time to consider offers of admission from other institutions, the earlier a decision can be reached, the better. January classes usually fill by the end of December. Students who submit deposits before the end of the first week of (for the fall term) or December 20 the January term) have a significantly higher chance c . . . . or sec1umg posltlons m the entering classes than those who submit deposits later. If the entering class on the applicant's first-choice campus is full when the �54 {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} {ADMISSION} is received, the Admissions Office will offer the following options: r) the deposit may be transferred to the other campus, provided space remains in that entering class; 2) the deposit may be used to secure a place on the waiting list or in a subsequent class on the applicant's first-choice campus; 3) the deposit may be returned if neither of the first two options is acceptable. deposits or completed financial aid files from approved applicants are received. Positions in the entering classes and financial aid will then be offered as they become available. Every effort will be made to accommodate those on the waiting list by allowing them to change their campus preference or to enroll in a subsequent class, as noted above. FINANCIAL Arn lNTERCAMPUS TRANSFER The college endeavors to meet the full demonstrated need of enrolling students requesting financial assistance. Of necessity, however, the amount of financial aid available for each class is limited. It is essential, therefore, that candidates apply for both admission and financial aid early. Applications for financial aid will be processed for approved applicants on a first-come, first-served basis until the available aid is exhausted. Therefore, U.S. citizens and permanent residents requesting financial assistance should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form as early as possible and promptly supply the Financial Aid Office with any additional documentation that may be requested. Non-U.S. citizens requesting financial assistance should file the International Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as soon as possible. Students who complete their financial aid applications before February r5 (for fall classes) or September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly higher chance of receiving all the aid for which they qualify than those who complete them later. Additional information about applying for financial aid is available on the college web site: www.stjohnscollege.edu. Once enrolled on either campus, any student in good academic standing may apply for transfer to the alternate campus for the upcoming academic year. They must notify the Registrar's Office of their intention to transfer by the third Monday in February of the previous year. Those students who wish to apply for financial aid must also file their new financial aid forms by March r. All intercampus transfers must be approved by the deans of both campuses and may be restricted by limitations in various campus resources, such as available space and staffing. WAITING LIST Once the entering classes are full or the available aid is exhausted, a waiting list will be established in the order in which STUDENT RIGHT TO KNow AcT In compliance with this act, the Office of the Registrar will provide and make readily available, upon request, completion or graduation rates to current and prospective students.

It is probably wise to get first-hand advance knowledge of any college one may be thinking of attending, but it is especially wise in the case of St. John's because of its unique curriculum and teaching methods. While on campus the visitor may attend a seminar on Monday or Thursday evening at 8 P.M.; attend tutorials in mathematics, language, and music; visit a laboratory; be interviewed by the Director of Admissions, a member of the admissions staff, or a tutor; attend the weekly formal lecture (Friday night); talk informally with St. John's students and tutors; visit the library and bookstore; explore the historic town of Annapolis or Santa Fe; attend a movie, play, art exhibit, or concert; or watch students participating in the sports program. Since the seminar, the most important part of the program, meets on Monday and Thursday evenings, student visitors are normally on campus from Monday to Tuesday or from Thursday to Friday. If travel arrangements make these time periods impossible, the visitor may telephone the Admissions Office for special help. The calendar in the front of the catalog should be checked to make certain the college will be in session during the time of the visit. Those planning to visit should telephone (r-800-727-9238 for Annapolis or r-800-331-5232 for Santa Fe) or write the Admissions Office giving the dates (and alternates) they have selected. It is also necessary for the Admissions Office to know the approximate time of arrival. When the reservation is confirmed by telephone or letter, the visitor will be told the seminar reading. If it is necessary to cancel the visit, the Admissions Office should be notified as soon as possible. The only expense for visitors is transportation. They will be provided a room in 55 a dormitory and meals in the dining hall without charge. St. John's students dress informally for tutorials, but more formally for seminar and formal lecture. The seminar readings usually can be located in inexpensive paperback editions in the college bookstore if a visitor has been unable to locate a copy of the book being discussed in seminar. Linens are provided by the college. Visitors arriving weekdays between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. should go to the Admissions Office. On weekends and any day after 5 P.M., visitors should go to the college receptionist. The receptionist is at the switchboard in Pinkney Hall at Annapolis and in Peterson Student Center at Santa Fe.

Bus service from the airport is not practical. Hourly buses run between Baltimore and Annapolis, and the driver will let visitors off near the campus if asked. Buses from Washington are less frequent and let passengers off on West Street, about six blocks from the college. By car, take Route 50 from Washington; from Baltimore take Route 2 or I-9?Albuquerque International Airport is located sixty miles from the Santa Fe campus. A shuttle service from the airport to Santa Fe is available. Call the Admissions Office for information. Greyhound and Continental bus lines pass through Santa Fe. Amtrak stops at Lamy, N.M., twenty miles from Santa Fe, and taxi service is available to town (reservations should be made with the taxi service one day in advance).

If a student who rescinded an intention to withdraw does not complete the semester, the official date of withdrawal will be the later of the date the withdrawal form was obtained or the last date of class attendance. UNOFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL: If a student does not notify the Registrar of the intention to withdraw, the date of withdrawal used for the calculation of return of Title IV Funds and institutional refund will be the midpoint of the semester.

The same schedule will be used to calculate the cancellation of non-federal financial aid: the "refund amount" percentage provides the percentage of aid to be cancelled and the "amount charged" percentage corresponds to the revised aid the student will receive" For example, a student withdrawing within the first seven days of school would receive ro3 of nonfederal aid that had been awarded. B. A student who is expelled or asked to withdraw for academic or disciplinary reasons will receive no refund of tuition, room and board, or other fees. C. If the college determines that the circumstances leading to withdrawal are beyond the student's control, the student will be charged for tuition, activity fee, INSTITUTIONAL REFUNDS A, If a student withdraws prior to the end of the semester, a refund of tuition will be made according to the Institutional Refund Schedule. The student's withdrawal date is established as outlined in the initial section of the Refund The next step in determination of the institutional refund is to count the number of calendar days from the first day of classes to the date of withdrawal (weekends are included but scheduled breaks of at least five days are excluded). The schedule on page 60 is used to determine the room, and board based on the percentage of the semester attended (number of days enrolled divided by total number of days in the semester). The same percentage will be applied to institutional aid. Documentation of circumstances leading to the withdrawal may be required; for L"''""'''"'"• a letter from a physician will be required if a student is unable to complete the semester for medical reasons. �{FEES 62 RETURN OF TITLE & FINANCIAL IV FUNDS If a student who has received Title IV Funds (federal financial aid) leaves the institution a calculation will be performed to determine the amount of unearned aid that must go back to the Title IV programs. No return of Title IV funds is required after 6o%(approximately 9 weeks of a r6 week semester). The withdrawal date will be established as described in the above Refund Policy. The percentage of Title IV aid which is earned by the student (i.e:, the amount of federal aid the student is permitted to keep) is the same as the percentage of the semester completed. This percentage is computed by dividing the total number of calendar days in the semester (including week-ends but excluding scheduled breaks of more than five days) into the number of calendar days completed by the student. For example, a student enrolled for r4 of n2 days would have earned r2.5% of Title IV aid for the semester. In this example, {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} AID} 63 87.5% of the Title IV aid would be unearned. The institution is responsible for returning to the federal aid programs the lesser of the amount of unearned Title IV aid or institutional charges that the student incurred multiplied by the unearned aid percentage. Federal regulations specify the order in which unearned funds are to be returned to aid programs. The order is: I. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans 2. Subsidized Stafford Loans 3. Perkins Loans 4. Federal Plus Loans 5. Pell Grants 6.SEOG 7. Academic Competitiveness Grant Federal Work-Study funds are not involved in this determination: A student may keep money earned through the Federal Work- Study Program. Upon repayment of any loan proceeds the institution will provide the student or parent (in case of a Plus Loan) a copy of the refund check paid to the lender, due to the student's withdrawal. If the total amount of unearned aid exceeds the amount the school is required to return, a student may need to return federal grant funds which have been received for off-campus living expenses, up to 50% of the amount received for the semester. Student loans and Plus Loans received for off-campus expenses do not have to be returned at the time of withdrawal but must be repaid in accordance with the terms of the loan. The Financial Aid Office will notify a student if a return of federal grant funds is required. Sample cases of refund calculations are available in the Financial Aid Office. CRITERIA FOR JUDGING SATISFACTORY PROGRESS REGULAR STUDENTS Provisions of the Higher Education Act of r980 require that each post-secondary institution make available information concerning the criteria for judging satisfactory academic progress. The criteria for St. John's College regarding the determination of satisfactory progress for recipients of federally funded (Title IV) financial assistance are as follows: In order to be making satisfactory progress, at the end of a semester a student must be permitted to enter the next semester and that next semester must not include the repetition of any work. This permission is normally granted by the dean in consultation with a committee of all the student's tutors, the "Don Rag Committee." The Don Rag Committee assesses a student's work in all parts of the program and approves its quality before recommending to the dean that the student be permitted to enter the next semester. This assessment is conducted in the student's presence by all of his or her tutors in common. At the end of the sophomore year, the dean and the Instruction Committee, with the advice of the tutors, review all of the student's work during the first two years and determine whether or not the student will be allowed to continue. Under some circumstances a student who has not satisfactorily completed a semester's work may be allowed to repeat the work in order to remain at the college. Students are not eligible for financial assistance (federal or institutional) while they are repeating work. Sometimes students are permitted to enter a new semester with the requirement that they meet special conditions during the course of the semester. In these cases, a student is not repeating work and is deemed to be making satisfactory progress until the dean determines that the conditions have not been met. When the conditions have not been met, the dean, in consultation with the Instruction Committee, decides what further determination is to be made of the case. �{FEES 64 & FINANCIAL Federal regulations require that an institution set a maximum time frame in which students must complete their educational objectives. St. John's has set eight years as the maximum time frame in which students who are recipients of federal financial aid funds must earn their B.A. degrees. This may be eight years of full- or part-time study. Years in which a student is not enrolled at St. John's will not count in the eight-year limitation. However, years in which a student is repeating work (and thereby not receiving aid) m:e considered in the determination of years of study. If a stl1dent registers for a class in which he or she was previously enrolled for more than three weeks, the class may be considered as repeated work and the student may not be eligible for financial assistance. Exceptions to this policy may be gTanted by the dean in the case of an involuntary withdrawal due to illness or other mitigating circumstances. Students who are permitted by their Don Rag Committees to enter the next semester with grades on their records are deemed to be making satisfactory progress and are eligible for financial aid. A student who wishes to appeal a decision regarding academic standing should present a letter to the Dean of the College. The dean will review the simation, taking into account any special circumstances, and determine whether or not the student is making satisfactory progress. VETERANS/DEPENDENTS In compliance wit_h federal and state regulations, St. John's has a set of policies on minimum standards of progress for enrnlled veterans or dependents: I. St. John's will report to the Department of Veterans .A..ffairs (VA) within 30 days all incidents of official termination or change of status that would affect benefits. 2. {ST. Arn} The V.A. requires that grades be given for all classes undertaken and that all grades be considered in computing a grade point average. In Annapolis, a V.A. enrolled student who withdraws from a class after the midpoint in a semester will have a WI grade recorded indicating the quality of work up to the date of withdrawal. In Santa Fe, a VA enrolled student who withdraws from a class after the three-quarter point in a semester will have an F recorded. No credit will be given for withdrawal grades nrnr, in accordance with college policy, will they be included in the GPA. 3. Minimum acceptable grades of a C average are expected. If a stl1dent falls below this average and/or the student's tutors think there is a serious academic problem, the Don Rag Committee will report this to the Dean, who may ask the student to leave the college or may place the student on academic and possibly stipulate conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. During that probaperiod support and counseling are available to the student. 4. St. John's will inform all VA enrolled students that prior academic credit from post-secondary schools will be evaluated, credits are not applicable to the all-required degree program at the college except in very unusual cirumstances. Prior credit will be granted for pursuit of the same four-year, all-cPrrnw•·rt curriculum at the Annapolis and Santa Fe campuses. The award of prior credit by the college will reduce the training time toward the reward of a degree and will be to the VA as required.

John's College is a cornwunity dedicated to liberal education. Liberally the college believes, a commitof fundamental knowledge and to the search for and the means and the will to become free and citizens. SL that a genuine liberal education face. And it is the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education. The been to about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding.

In this and other ways, a of Because it offers an education for College has known and available to and continues to seek to make its program of of diverse �8 {THE CURRICULUM} THE SEMINAR T .................................................................. he heart of the curriculum is the seminar - a discussion of assigned readings from the boo~s of the program. In each seminar seventeen to twentyone students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, for two hours or sometimes longer if the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around eighty pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. The seminar begins with a question asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists mostly of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not just to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at will. The resulting informality is tempered by the use of formal modes of address. Once underway, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and aggression and to bring to the surface the students' opinions and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity's ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading, but bearing only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the coffee shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument - an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and trying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn, gradually also, that to some extent the procedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy, and it can require a different approach. Such progress in learning together may be crowned by sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of "following the argument," of facing the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} a question. More often than not the question remains open with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the "right" opinion or interpretation. It is to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections and to help the students in every way possible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question "Why?" But 9 the leaders may also take a definite and positive stand and enter directly into the argument. If they do so, however, they can expect no special consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. Consequently, all opinions must be defended with reason, and any single opinion can prevail only by general consent. The aim is always to develop the students' powers of reason and understanding, and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, sophomore, and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes a major part of the process called enabling (seepage3r). �{ST. 10 {THE JOHN'S fl COLLEGE} CURRICULUM} THE PRECEPTORIAL or about seven to eight weeks at the end of the first semester seminars of the and senior classes are replaced by These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in of one subject several books.

By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and wxiting. Other learning devices must therefore it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, a.nd music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one '"'ucrnau.c;o tutorial three times a week also attend a music tutorial" In the tutorials, around a table, about thixteen to sixteen students learn together under the direct and instruction of a tutor.

The students are thus called upon to articulate and cm.a""'""" in both the >AJTit- means of communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and of terms; to the role of n1•ot<ml101rs ancl images; and to the logical relations that""'""'""'''" The (Greek these languages, into English, each other and with learn t11e four years, then, language as the discourse of as the articulation of their own resources of articulate and the rules that must govern it if it is to clear, consistent and effectiYe - if it is be and structions, and the studied.

A . . purpose of the language tu tonal is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of translation. Issues are to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and can be discussed with greater than the seminar in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign but the students can expect to obtain a ical forms and a grasp of the ities of the languages that the individuality of another language is to extend the boundaries of one's ~c;Jt101rJ11..tLv The choice of foreign languages is in part dictated by the seminar reading schedule and is in part Latin and German might be used without chano-ina b- b the pattern and aims of the tutorial.

THE MATHEMATICS TUTORIAL of education; is a vital that this is true or ought to be is suggested the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning "to learn." It is then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of as umnathematical. It is equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which u«>-U''""'u'" ~""',,r""° and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John's is studied as a liberal art, not artificially separated from what have come to be called the humanities, \YJhen mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective and from treatises chosen not for their matter but also for their and as it is at Sc mathematics becomes not the most readily learnable liberal art but also one that provides access to others and oi~_u1Jt1c.dH< analogies 'With them.

The second main Teason for mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more Since mathematics has, as its name a close connection with the human capacity for learning, its study is eoue1crn.1ly useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of nimbleness of imagination, and ""'"'ccnc.'" of expression. But while are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their OW11 activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are are raised during the four years: and how do mathematical carry such conviction?

THE LABORATORY T ························ ································ hree hundred years ago, algebra and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by Rene Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, politics, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the St. John's program and one that the college takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last two years of the program exhibit the far-reaching changes that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period from Homer to Descartes. Modern mathematics has made possible the exploration of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast project of study conceived by the great thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. Liberal learning is concerned with the artifices of the human mind and hand that help us to relate our experiences to our understanding. For this purpose, St. John's has set up a three-year laboratory in the natural sciences, wherein characteristic and related topics of physics, biology, and chemistry are pursued. There is the art of measurement, which involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measurement; crucial experiments are reproduced; the interplay of hypothesis, theory, and fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is supported by the JOHN'S COLLEGE} 17 mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques. The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research. It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills. The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the humanities, as if they were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. Different fields of exploration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems from sources common to all intellectual life. THE ORGANIZATION OF THE LABORATORY WORK The laboratory program is largely determined by three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the study of science: (r) The formally scheduled experimental work must be combined with a full and free discussion of the instruments and principles involved in it. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific discipline to its roots in principle, assumption, and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters are to be selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (3) The schedule of laboratory work should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation. The students must have time to satisfy themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can they come to a mature understanding of the sciences called "exact." A laboratory section consists of fourteen to sixteen students working under the guidance of a tutor, with the help of lllore advanced students serving as assistants. Sections meet two or three times a week. A laboratory session may be used exposition and discussion of theory, experimentation, or for both, as the gress of the work requires. In most es, the basis for discussion is a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Harvey, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. �18 {THE CURRICULUM} LABORATORY TOPICS The general topics of study have been chosen from elementary physical and biological sciences. The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: ISTYEAR 12 20 weeks: Observational biology weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry .3..~D y~il:R .. .... .... .... .. . .. .... .... ············· . Topics in physics: mechanics, optics, heat, electricity, magnetism 10 weeks: Quantum physics 18 weeks: Genetics, evolution, molecular biology THE FIRST YEAR The laboratory begins with twelve weeks devoted to topics in observational biology: classification of types, anatomical structure, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, and embryological development. Close observation by the naked eye or with microscopes is accompanied by constant theoretical interpretation, based on reading important works of biological scientists. Here the student confronts organisms as self-moving entities with properties of wholeness, intimately dependent on, yet distinct from, the surrounding world. The freshman laboratory next turns to the nonliving in a search for fundamental laws. Archimedes on the lever and on hydrostatics is studied, then the laws of equilibrium of gases, temperature, and {ST. JOHN'S calorimetry are taken up, experimentally and in discussion ofthe relevant theories. These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the theory that matter is composed of discrete particles. The student compares the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance and substantial change, and goes on to study and discuss important original texts bearing on the development of the atomic-molecular theory. Experiments are performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the physical and chemical transformation of which they speak. The year's work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this determination. THE THIRD YEAR The third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional divisions of physics, such as mechanics, optics, and electromagnetism. Throughout the year, experimentation is accompanied by the reading of important original writings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, and Maxwell. The mathematical tools of physics are to be put to work in the laboratory at the same time that their rigorous development is pursued in the mathematics tutorials. As the tools of the calculus become available, the emphasis shifts from a qualitative description of force, acceleration, work, energy, and potential to their reformulation in terms of ·derivative and integral; at the same time, .;the physical concepts serve to illustrate •the mathematical ideas. The concepts of •J:jlechanics are to be used to formulate rnative theories of light - corpuscular d wave - and the success of either theory accounting for optical phenomena is COLLEGE} 19 examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromagnetic theory of light. THE FOURTH YEAR In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first ten weeks, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism - but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrodinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. The Laboratory program ends as it began - with a study of living organisms. In the spring of the senior year, students finally confront the evidence and arguments for their modern views of evolution and genetics. The semester begins with Darwin and Mendel, proceeds to a synthesis, and then traces developments in cellular and molecular biology which are thought to undergird this synthesis, as presented in seminal papers by 20th century biologists. In addition, this work raises questions about whether there is purpose in nature, whether there are natual kinds, what distinquishes living from non-living, whether living things have a wholeness, and if so, what is responsible for it. �20 {THE CURRICULUM} THE FORMAL LECTURE T he curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar readings or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students' readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: It inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability of what they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials. Others may have a lasting effect on the direction that students' work takes within the framework of the program. {ST.

These works form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes serving as secondary sources and representative works in the major fields of learning. Holdings are most extensive in philosophy, literature, and the history of science. The library also provides newspapers and periodicals, audio-visual materials, multiple copies of some seminar readings, and other smaller collections. A faculty committee assists the librarians with collection development. The libraries on the two campuses have a total collection of over r65,ooo volumes. The Greenfield Library in Annapolis was renovated in r996, and occupies the old historic building formerly known as the Maryland Hall of Records. The library's catalog is available online, as are library JOHN'S SCHEDULES P T he Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the presidents on appointments to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and twelve tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year. The full committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those annual meetings. {ST. ORDER} databases and other electronic resources. Internet access is provided via the public terminals. Comfortably situated study spaces with subtle natural light are available for reading and contemplation. The music library is housed apart in the Mellon building, and offers sound recordings and printed scores, all available for loan. The Faith and John Meem Library opened in Santa Fe in r990. It offers a variety of study areas designed to accommodate up to half of the student body at a given time, including two 24-hour study rooms, and a music room with listening carrels and a collection of compact discs, records, and tapes. The library also provides public terminals for accessing the online catalog, electronic resources and the Internet. Both libraries hold interesting special collections, including several hundred early or first editions of works read in the Program. Annapolis has retained several of the original books from the Bray Collection, dating from r696 and known as the "first public library in America." I also possesses the Prettyman Collection o Signed and Inscribed Books, some 80 titles of first editions signed by th authors. The Witter Bynner Collectio and the Edgar Allen Poe Collection · Santa Fe contain first editions of each po as well as other belles lettres. In additi the Santa Fe library contains a faculty alumni publications collection and t Holtzman Music Collection. erhaps the most distinctive mark of St. John's College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid's Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and . seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles' funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. 29 COLLEGE} Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods of laboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-andone-half hours to four-and-one-half hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six hours each week in the laboratory. Each week there are two evening seminars, lasting two hours or more. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to nineteen hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of sixteen weeks each.

These programs, modeled on that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS rr· he aim of the program is to help students formulate and ' .' respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Poliand Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of in Liberal Arts degree (thirty-six credit hours). These segments together constitute a closely inteof study. Classes are small and based on discusof classic texts, but differ in signifiways. The heart of the curriculum the seminar in which fourteen to twenone students engage in a discussion JJJllUatEod by a tutor's question about the assigned reading. In the tutorial, a slightly ~ aller group of students (twelve to sixen) focuses more intensively on smaller ignments, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and lead classes posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and spring terms, and usually four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master's essay may be written students who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately sixty to ninety students have been enrolled on each campus during each session. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools. �35 34 DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM** LITERATURE SEMINAR Homer: Iliad, Odyssey Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Choephoroe, Eumenides Sophocles: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Co/onus, Antigone Euripides: Hippolytus, Bacchae, Electra Aristophanes: Frogs PRECEPTORIAL (examples) PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Montesquieu: The Spirit ofthe Laws Shakespeare: The history plays Smith: The Wealth ofNations Rousseau: Emile Hegel: The Philosophy ofRight Aristotle: On the Soul Heidegger: Selected Works Spinoza: Ethics Wittgenstein: Philosophical Investigations Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathustra MATHEMATICS AND NATURAL SCIENCE HISTORY SEMINAR TUTORIAL Chaucer: Canterbury Tales in Middle English• Shakespeare: King Lear Aristotle: Poetics Selected English lyric poetry PRECEPT 0 RIAL (examples) Cervantes: Don Quixote Joyce: Ulysses Virgil: Aeneid Eliot: Middlemarch Dostoevski: The Brothers Karamazov SEMINAR Plato: Timaeus• Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Aristotle: Physics• Ptolemy: Almagest• Galileo: Dialogue on the I'wo Chief World Systems• Darwin: The Origin ofSpecies* Freud: Selected Works Herodotus: Histories• Thucydides: Peloponnesian War• Livy: Early History ofRome* Polybius: Histories• Plutarch: "Caesar" and "Cato the Younger" Tacitus: Annals* Tocqueville: The Old Regime and the French Revolution• TUTORIAL Euclid: Elements* Lobachevski: The Theory of Parallels* PRECEPTORIAL (examples) POLIT1CS AND SOCIETY SEMINAR Plutarch: "Lycurgus" and "Solon" Plato: Republic Aristotle: Politics* Machiavelli: The Prince Locke: Second Treatise of Civil Government Rousseau: On the Origin and Foundations ofInequality Marx: The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844* Tocqueville: Democracy in America*" TUTORIAL Aristotle: Nicomachean Ethics• Thomas Aquinas: Treatise on Law• Hobbes: Leviathan• Declaration oflndependence Articles of Confederation U.S. Constitution Hamilton, Jay, and Madison: The Federalist* Selected U.S. Supreme Court Decisions Light: Aristotle, Descartes, Huygens, and Newton Lavoisier: Elements of Chemistry Maxwell: Theory ofHeat Bacon and the Principles of Natural Philosophy Galileo: I'woNew Sciences PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY SEMINAR Genesis Exodus Job Matthew Romans Augustine: Confessions* Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologica • Kant: Groundwork ofthe Metaphysics ofMorals Kierkegaard: Philosophical Fragments TUTORIAL Plato: Meno Aristotle: Metaphysics• Descartes: Meditations Hume: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding Kant: Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics Nietzsche: Beyond Good and Evil* TUTORIAL Augustine: The City of God* Vico: The New Science• Kant: Idea ofa Universal History Herder: Ideas Toward the Philosophy ofthe History of Mankind* Hegel: Philosophy ofHistory• Marx: The German Ideology Nietzsche: Uses and Abuses of Historyfor Life Dilthey: Introduction to the Human Sciences* Collingwood: The Idea ofHistory• Strauss: Political Philosophy and History• PRECEPTORIAL Tolstoy: War and Peace Machiavelli: The Florentine Histories Weber: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism Arendt: The Origins of Totalitarianism • •Readings may differ slightly between the two campuses • Selections T he aim of the Eastern Classics program is to help students seek a deeper understanding of the fundamental and enduring questions that have been raised by thoughtful human beings in the rich traditions of the East. Its course of study consists of thirty-four semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Santa Fe campus. The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. In the seminar, fourteen to twenty-one students discuss assigned readings from a wide range of Indian, Chinese, and Japanese texts. In the tutorial, twelve to fifteen students study either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. The goal is not mastery, but rather sufficient familiarity with the elements of the languages to gain some insight into their structure and to translate selected short passages from classical texts. In the preceptorial, eight to twelve students study a single work or theme for an eightweek period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged. �36 37 THE EASTERN CLASSICS CURRICULUM FoR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FALL SEMESTER SPRING SEMESTER SUMMER SEMESTER CHINESE TUTORIAL CHINESE TUTORIAL SEMINAR Pronunciation and grammar Confucius: Analects* Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching* T'ang Poetry Mencius: Works* SANSKRIT TUTORIAL Bhagavad-Gita • Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra • The Tale ofthe Heike LotuSSutra Sei Shonagon: The Pillow Book• Kenko: Essays in Idleness Dogen:Shobogenzo* Basho: The Narrow Road to the Deep North Chushingura: The Treasury of Loyal Retainers SANSKRIT TUTORIAL Gonda, A Concise Elementary Grammar ofthe Sanskrit Language Devanagari script SEMINAR Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching Confucius: Analects, The Great Learning and The Doctrine of theMean Mo Tzu: Basic Writings ofMo Tzu * Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Mencins: Works* Hsiin Tzu: Writings ofHsun Tzu • Han Fei Tzu: Writings ofHan Fei Tzu* Ssu-ma Ch'ien: Records ofthe Grand Historian* /Ching Rig Veda Brihad-Aranyaka Upanishad Kena Upanishad Mundaka Upanishad Katha Upanishad Ishvara Krishna: Sankhya Karika Tattva-Kaumudi * Patanjali: Yoga Sutra Jayadeva: Gitagovinda PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Mahabharata (required) /Ching Confucius: Analects Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Lao Tzu: Basic Writings SEMINAR Kalidasa: Shakuntala, Kumarasambhava and Meghaduta Jamini: Mimamsa Sutra • Kumarila Bhatta: Slokavartika Katha Upanishad Institutes ofManu Kautilya: Artha-Shastra KamaSutra* Mahabharata Bhagavad-Gita Abhinavagupta: Dhvanyaloka* Jayarasi Bhatta: Tattvopaplavasimha • Asvaghosa: Buddhacarita Majjhima Nikaya * Vimalakirti Sutra • N agarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra Chandrakirti:Prasannapada Lankavatara Sutra • Guadapada: The Great Karika on the Mandukya Upanishad Shankara: Commentary on the Vedanta Sutras T'ao Ch'ien: Record ofthe Peach Blossom Fountainhead Chinese Poetry* Diamond Sutra HeartSutra Hui-Neng: Platform Sutra ofthe Sixth Patriarch Chu Hsi: Chu Tzu ch 'uan-shu, and Chu Tzu wen-chi PRECEPT 0 RIAL (examples) Rig Veda Upanishads Ts'ao Hsueh-Shin: Story ofthe Stone Ssu-ma Ch'ien: Records ofthe Grand Historian Neo-Confucian Texts Chinese Vernacular Prose of the Ming Dynasty PRECEPTORIAL Mutasaki Shikibu: The Tale of Genji (required) To receive a Program Statement containing more detailed information about the Graduate Institute, as well as application forms, contact us at either of the following addresses: Graduate Admissions Office St. John's College P.O.

THE ANNAPOLIS CAMPUS S ince its founding as King William's School in r696, St. John's has been situated in the colonial seaport town of Annapolis, capital of the State of Maryland. Its population of 40,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the state and of Anne Arundel County; with the training of midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy; with the fish, crab, and oyster industry; and with the sailing and recreational activities of the Chesapeake Bay. The campus of thirty-six acres lies in the historic district, adjoining College Creek, one block from the State House and across the street from the Naval Academy yard. The fifteen buildings include r8th-century historic homes, rgth-century Victorian structures, and 20th and 2rst-century buildings designed to complement the older ones. There are eight student dormitories, offering single, double, and triple rooms. The community of students has governed itself since r945 with elected officers and delegates representing each dormitory and the off-campus constituency. The Student Polity representatives, called the Delegate Council, meet once a week to hear requests from students for funds, to remind STUDENT 39 LIFE} students of their responsibilities to the college community, and to express student opinion on common problems. The Delegate Council also meets with college officials to discuss matters of mutual concern and maintains a Student Committee on Instruction, which works with the Faculty Instruction Committee on academic matters. A Food Committee works with the dining hall manager to develop satisfactory dishes for regular and vegetarian menus. The Gadfly, a student newspaper, provides a second medium for expression of opinion to the community as a whole. Controversy ranges from petty to vital; essays, reviews, and news are included. Energeia, the college's student-run literary magazine, is published annually and contains longer and more polished essays, poetry, and fiction. Students are also welcome to contribute to The College, an official publication of St. John's. Extracurricular organizations at St. John's are generally informal. Some continue year after year, while others spring up and die out as the individual members of the community come and go. Many extracurricular activities grow directly out of the curriculum as students' interests overflow from the classroom. The pastyears have seen small classes and study groups some led by students, others by tutors - in harmony, Latin, Chinese, German, the New Testament, Hegel, Leibniz, African-American literature, and selected women writers. Other activities stem from interests independent of the college curriculum, such as astronomy, dance, and the martial arts. A network of PC and Macintosh computers is available for ~tudent use in a computer lab. The lab, open 24 hours a day, serves mainly to provide students with free access to word-processing and Internet services. Students can use the lab for writing essays, corresponding by e-mail, printing o papers written on personal computer and exploring the World Wide Web. dorm rooms are wired for Internet access. Theater life is active. The King William Players stage one or two classical plays a year, perform one or two modern works, and produce several one-act plays. Recent productions have included The Winter's Tale, The Nature and Purpose of the Universe, Phaedre, The Midlife Crisis of Dionysus and The Tempest. The student film club presents foreign and domestic films, many of them classics of the cinematic art. The selection is eclectic: recent screenings have included Reservoir Dogs, Potemkin, Citizen Kane, and The Seventh Seal. There are also more specialized film clubs, including anime, and occasional film series. Music is pursued in groups and individually. Voice and instrumental ensembles traiu new members and perform at collegia at the end of each semester. The St. John's Chorus has recently presented concerts featuring Faure's Requiem, Schubert's Mass in G, and early vocal music. The cole provides practice rooms, including a k room, and pianos and a music library scores and recordings. Private study can easily arranged on campus or in town. Individual artistic expression needs a time for training and a place to work. Permanent facilities, such as the art studio, ceramic studio, woodworking shop, photography darkroom, and stage floor, provide places to develop specific skills. Various artists teaching in their fields of specialization conduct classes in drawing, painting, sculpture, and pottery throughout the year. Materials and tools are furnished without charge in most cases. The college's Mitchell Art Gallery specializes in circulating exhibitions by artists of major stature. Recent shows have included Rembrandt Etchings, Japanese Woodblock Prints, The Figure in 20th Century Sculpture and Space and Place: Mapmaking East and West. Lectures and discussions are scheduled during each show. An exhibit in the spring displays work by members of the college community. There are periodic trips to galleries and museums in Washington and Baltimore; transportation is free of charge for St. John's students.

JOHN'S Each of the r6 dormitory units on the main campus houses from r2 to r8 students, and the eight dorm suites, which house five people, serve as smaller communities of friends within the college. More than half the rooms are singles. The others are designed in suites of two or three rooms to provide each student with the privacy of his own quarters and, at the same time, close companionship with a fellow student. Each of the eight dorm suites house five private rooms. Students living in these dorms are responsible for all cleaning in their rooms, bathroom, and common room. The Director of Residential Life helps students to find compatible roommates. Since both the size of the college and the form of the program are conducive to informal and direct communication, students in Santa Fe find it effective to work out problems and ideas on an individual basis with the administration and faculty, COLLEGE} as well as through the machinery of a formal, elected student government, known as the Student Polity. The Student Polity has a substantial budget and hears requests from students to fund various activities. It maintains a Student Review Board which offers mediatory assistance to students and, at the request of the Dean or Assistant Dean, may deliberate concerning cases of student discipline. The Polity also maintains a Student Committee on Instruction, which works closely with the Dean and Instruction Committee, and holds occasional panels on academic questions of broad interest to the college community. There are permanent student representatives to the Campus Planning Committee and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory commit-· tees, which concern themselves with such. things as Friday night lectures or the food service. {RESIDENCE & Santa Fe students and faculty engage in a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the academic, the artistic and the athletic. While many of these activities are well-established at the college, the community is enlivened by incoming students who bring their interests and talents to the campus. Indeed, many students come to St. John's with definite interests outside the scope of the program and pursue these interests in extra-curricular classes and discussion groups, both on and off campus. Extracurricular reading groups are an important and exciting part of academic life at St. John's and are a natural extension of the classroom. Small groups of students and tutors gather for further study of seminar or tutorial readings or to explore nonprogram books and authors and topics of interest. Such groups may meet once or twice, for a semester, or even continue from year to year. Recent and on-going going study group topics include: Plato's Laws, Proust, Topology and Modern Mathematics, Merleau-Ponty's Phenome' nology of Perception, Heidegger Jazz, Thomas Kuhn, current readings in international affairs, contemporary Latin American literature, topics in 20th century economics, Plato's Republic, the American Constitution, and language study groups including Latin, Greek, German, Biblical Hebrew, and Sanskrit. Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet, and modern dance. The art studio in the . Fine Arts Building, the darkroom, and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The college's art gallery, which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists monthly. student art show is scheduled each year, d awards are given for achievement in ttery, photography, drawing, painting, d jewelry-making. The Moon, a student wspaper, provides students in Santa Fe STUDENT LIFE} 43 with a medium through which to express their views about both the college and the world at large. The Grout, a literary magazine, contains essays, art work, poetry, short stories, and photography from students and faculty alike. Students on the Santa Fe campus are welcome to contribute to The College magazine, an official publication of St. John's with a wide readership amongst alumni and friends of the college. Musical performances of many kinds are given by students through the Collegium Musicum. Formed to stimulate musical activity on campus, the association provides members of the college community with an opportunity to perform before small, receptive audiences. Through this organization, students and faculty who play instruments or who sing can find teachers and fellow musicians with whom to study or perform. The St. John's Chorus and the small chorus also give recitals. The college provides numerous keyboard instruments, including two grand pianos and a harpsichord, for student practice and performance. Practice rooms are available in the Fine Arts Building. Recent music performance groups include a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta ensemble, a madrigal choir, a jazz performance group, lunchtime bluegrass on the quad, a barbershop quartet, and assorted rock bands. A number of students take private voice and music lessons in the Santa Fe community. The Santa Fe campus has an active theatre group called Chrysostomos. It is entirely student-run and puts on four to six productions every year, ranging from Ancient Greek tragedy and Shakespeare to modern musical comedies. Recent productions include: Sophocles' Ajax, Aristophanes' Lysistrata, Arcadia, Into the Woods, Much Ado About Nothing, and The Importance ofBeing Earnest.

DINING HALL • pre-law and pre-medical advising • on-campus career workshops and meetings with alumni information and referrals on current career and job opportunities • community service opportunities The dining halls in Annapolis and Santa Fe are operated by catering services. Vegetarian and vegan menus are available. Resident stud~nts are required to eat in the dining hall. The dormitories form small communities within the larger college communities, helping the incoming students to make proper use of the support that other students can give them in their college life. The Annapolis and Santa Fe campuses have slightly different housing practices due to differences in available dormitory space. Generally, unmarried undergraduates are expected to live on campus, space permitting, and to take their meals in the college dining hall, unless they receive permission from the local housing office to live off campus. Only freshmen are guaranteed housing. The college does not guarantee housing for married students. However, in Santa Fe there are a small number of furnished, two-bedroom apartments, that may be available for married students during the academic year. Such students should check with the appropriate Admissions Office about the availability of housing on campus or in the local community. Room assignment is the responsibility of the assistant deans in conjunction with the directors of residential life. Returning students have the privilege of drawing for The college remains committed to providing high-quality assistance to students and alumni as they make the transition to activities and pursuits beyond St. John's. INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES DORMITORIES STUDENT LIFE} COLLEGE} STUDENT EMPLOYMENT SERVICES Because both of St. John's campuses are small, cohesive, and supportive communities, there are no separate offices designated for international student services. The Office of the Assistant Dean handles all aspects of student life and provides counseling and guidance on an individual basis. In addition, each new student participates in an orientation program at the time of registration. The college's registrars act as advisors to all international students with respect to visa requirements and related matters. Informal "F-1" clubs have been formed by international students together with other students, faculty, and staff for special social events, but, in general, international students find themselves easily participating in the mainstream of campus academic and social life. An employment service, under the supervision of the Career Services Office, posts off-campus jobs. Primarily, it provides part-time employment for students during the academic year, but it also can aid students looking for full-time or part-time summer employment in the local community. CAREER SERVICES The Career Services Office on each campus offers a wide range of programs and services that include: • individual career counseling • information and assistance in applying to graduate and professional schools • information and assistance in applying for scholarships and fellowships • internship opportunities • assistance with resume-writing and other job-search skills • access to a national alumni career network A Student Health Center on each campus provides a variety of health services for enrolled students. Counseling services are also available on campus. These services are free of charge or provided at low cost. RULES OF RESIDENCE Social order and the well-being of each student make necessary certain rules of residence governing the use of dormitories. These rules have been decided upon by the deans in consultation with students and faculty. Every entering student is informed of them, and returning upperclassmen are reminded of them each fall. The rules differ in certain details on the two campuses, though in general they follow the same pattern. The academic and intellectual life of the community is inseparable from the communal life. The building of a good community requires the faculty to show respect for the individuality of each student. All students agree to abide by the rules and 'regulations promulgated in the Student 47 Handbook published annually by the college. St. John's assumes that students will respect not only the enacted rules, but also the community-accepted canons of decent behavior. In extreme cases, where these canons are flouted, the college may require withdrawal of the offending student. The use of illegal drugs and the misuse oflegal drugs, including alcohol, are fundamentally incompatible with the program of study at St. John's College. Students who engage in such activities face severe disciplinary action. PROPERTY DAMAGE The college provides a housekeeping staff to care for the dormitories. The college inspects the rooms periodically and repairs, at the expense of the occupant or occupants, any dormitory room and furniture that have been damaged beyond normal wear and tear. Any damage to college property is charged to the caution fee of the student or students responsible for the damage. The college is not responsible for the loss of, or damage to, any student property resulting from fire, theft or any other cause. �48 {SITE ANNAPOLIS, {s! PLAN} TE 49 MARYLAND SOCCER FIELD Lower Playing Fields .. TENNIS COURTS Upper Playing Fields STUDE~IT .. ACTIVITIES CENTER APARTMENTS �{ADMISSIONS} T he standards by which applicants are selected for St. John's are special, and prospective students find it challenging to write the essays that constitute an application to the college. Those who apply want an education that consists of careful reading and consideration of the most demanding books; of serious conversation in which they will learn to consider the thoughts of others as well as their own; and of active participation in their own education. Education at St. John's is a common pursuit. Each student has a considerable effect on the life and learning of the community. Most who consider St. John's examine themselves carefully before applying so that when they do, they are saying to themselves and to the college that they want to engage fully in the life of reason and they believe they can take pleasure in it. In writing their application essays, many determine their own appropriateness as St. John's students; others eliminate themselves as applicants, deciding that their interests and those of the college do not coincide. Thus, for the most part, they select themselves. Some are rejected, of course, but a wide variety of students is accepted each year. The purpose of the admission process is to determine whether an applicant has the necessary preparation and ability to complete the St. John's program satisfactorily. The Admissions Committee - five tutors and the Director of Admissions on each campus - regards the application as being a question from the applicant: "Do you think I am ready to profit from the program of studies at St. John's?" In the essays, applicants are asked to discuss their previous education, their reasons for choosing St. John's, and their experience with books. A number of optional topics are suggested. The essays a:re designed to enable applicants to give a 51 full account of themselves. They can tell the committee much more than statistical records reveal. Next the committee considers the applicant's academic achievement and promise. Previous academic records - the secondary school report and college transcript, if there is one - show whether an applicant has the habits of study necessary at St. John's. Letters ofreference, particularly those of teachers, are carefully read for indications that the applicant has the maturity, self-discipline, ability, energy, and initiative to succeed in the St. John's program. St. John's attaches little importance to "objective" test scores, and no applicant is accepted or rejected because of such scores. The committee's decisions are not influenced by the race, religion, sex, age, color, physical handicaps, sexual orientation or national or ethnic origin of an applicant, or by any other factors unrelated to the work of the college. The application asks a minimum of personal data. Need for financial assistance does not affect the committee's decisions on admission. St. John's has decided to remain a small college in which the students and faculty are known to each other. Each campus serves about 450 undergraduates. The size of each class is limited on each campus. Most freshman classes are about equally divided between men and women. New students are enrolled only as freshmen; typically rn3 to IS% of each entering class have done one, two, or even three years of college work elsewhere. These students, despite having good records at other colleges, relinquish their advanced standing to take part in the St. John's program. The Santa Fe campus offers January enrollment. Freshmen who enter in January stay on campus the following summer to complete the first year. They can thus graduate a year earlier than if they had �{ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 52 {ADMISSION} postponed their entrance until the following fall. The January class is of particular interest to students who come to St. John's from other colleges, who have traveled or worked since graduation from high school, or who wish to enter St. John's immediately after the first semester of their senior year of high school. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION M ................................................................................. ································· ost applicants have a strong background in academic subjects. Specific academic requirements include two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a foreign language; additional work in mathematics and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. In addition to the application essays and secondary school report, each applicant must present transcripts of any college work and two letters of reference, including one from a teacher. In exceptional cases, certain of these requirements may be waived, or additional information may be requested. SAT or ACT test scores are not normally required, but may prove helpful. Occasionally, St. John's accepts an applicant who is not a secondary school graduate. Such students must be well qualified to profit from the college program and must submit either a GED certificate or other state-approved equivalent, evidence of completion of state-approved home schooling, or, in lieu of these, the results of a nationally recognized standardized test (SAT, ACT, PSAT). A campus visit and interview are especially important for such applicants. St. John's admits as regular students only those who: r) have a high school diploma, or 2) have a GED certificate or the equivalent, or 3) are beyond the age of compulsory education in their home state. HoMESCHOOLED STUDENTS r. In lieu of a high school diploma or GED certificate or the equivalent, home schooled applicants must submit the ' results of the SATl or ACT. 2. They must also submit an outline of the curriculum they have followed, arranged in chronological order by conventional subject matter, with brief descriptions of the course content and texts used. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS St. John's is authorized under federal law to enroll foreign students. In order to be considered for admission, international students must have followed a pre-university course of study and must submit the following documents: r. A completed St. John's application form accompanied by the required essays. 2. Two letters of reference, at least one of which must be from a teacher of an academic subject. 3. An official record of secondary work, with all courses and grades, including the results of the appropriate examinations (e.g. "A" Levels, International Baccalaureate, and so on). This must be accompanied by an explanation of the grading system used and an English translation of records in other languages. 4. Test results from: a. The Student Assessment Test (SATl} or the American College Test (ACT). b. The Test of English as a Foreign L:mguage (TOEFL) is required of those applicants whose first language is not English, unless the language of secondary instruction has been English. Detailed information for international students may be found on the college' web site: www.stjohnscollege.edu TEST CODE NUMBERS St. John's College's test code numbers for the College Entrance Examination Board (SAT and TOEFL) are: Annapolis= 5598 ; Santa Fe = 4737· The American College Test (ACT) numbers are: Annapolis = r732; Santa Fe= 2649 PROCEDURE S t. John's College is one college located on two campuses. Although applications must be initiated and completed at one campus or the other, admission to either campus constitutes admission to the college as a whole. On inquiry, prospective students receive a statement of the St. John's College program, an application for admission and recommendation forms to be completed by schools and references. Applications may be submitted as early as the second semester of the eleventh grade. Because the col~ege welcomes all serious applicants, there IS no application fee. Students should submit their application materials to the Admissions Office on the campus they pref:r to ~ttend. Students planning to apply for financial aid should refer to the section on Fees an~ Financial Aid and notify the appropnate Admissions Office of their intentions as soon as possible. St. John's is committed to maintaining its low student/faculty ratio (8 tor). In order to meet this commitment, the number of students in each freshman class is carefully controlled. Candidates for admission are advised that applicants who meet the suggested deadlines (see below) are in a better position to secure places in the entering classes and early consideration for financial assistance than those who apply later. DEADLINES Applications for fall classes should be filed as early as possible and preferably no later 53 ~an March r; candidates wishing to enroll rn January should apply no later than December r5 · Appli canons are processed · . on a rolling basis. As soon as the ap p li ca. tion .essays and supporting documents are received, the application is reviewed b th Adm' · Y .e iss10ns Committee. The applicant is 'f' not1 ied of the committee's d ec1s1on in . . . about two weeks. Accepted students h th · ave e option to enroll on either campus. Late applications for both fall and January classes will be considered , but app l' icants are advised that the earlier their files are c~mpleted, the greater their chances of securmg positions in the entering class on the campus of their choice. DEPOSITS Upon notific.ation of acceptance, applicants have the option to enroll on either campus. In order to secure a place in the entering class, approved applicants must submit a deposit of $300 to the Admissions Office on the campus at which their applications were p~ocessed, together with a statement specifying the campus they wish to attend. Once the deposit has been submitted, the campus preference may not be changed except as noted below. Deposits are nonrefundable, e_xcept as noted below, and are applied to first semester tuition and fees. Deposits (~d signed financial aid accept~ce forms, if appropriate) are accepted on a fIIst-come, first-served basis until the available po~itions are filled. Typically, the fall. classes ~ill by the first week of May, so while there is ample time to consider offers of admission from other institutions the earlier a decision can be reached, the b~tter. January classes usually fill by the end of December. Students who submit deposits before the end of the first week of May (for the fall term) or December 20 (for the January term) have a significantly higher chance of securing positions in the entering classes than those who submit deposits later. . If the .entering class on the applicant's first-choice campus is full when the deposit �{ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} {ADMISSION} 54 is received, the Admissions Office will offer the following options: I) the deposit may be transferred to the other campus, provided space remains in that entering class; 2) the deposit may be used to secure a place on the waiting list or in a subsequent class on the applicant's first-choice campus; 3) the deposit may be returned if neither of the first two options is acceptable. FINANCIAL Am The college endeavors to meet the full demonstrated need of enrolling students requesting financial assistance. Of necessity, however, the amount of financial aid available for each class is limited. It is essential, therefore, that candidates apply for both admission and financial aid early. Applications for financial aid will be processed for approved applicants on a first-come, first-served basis until the available aid is exhausted. Therefore, U.S. citizens and permanent residents requesting financial assistance should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form as early as possible and promptly supply the Financial Aid Office with any additional documentation that may be requested. Non-U.S. citizens requesting financial assistance should file the International Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as soon as possible. Students who complete their financial aid applications before February IS (for fall classes) or September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly higher chance of receiving all the aid for which they qualify than those who complete them later. Additional information about applying for financial aid is available on the college web site: www.stjohnscollege.edu. WAITING LIST Once the entering classes are full or the available aid is exhausted, a waiting list will be established in the order in which deposits or completed financial aid files from approved applicants are received. Positions in the entering classes and financial aid will then be offered as they become available. Every effort will be made to accommodate those on the waiting list by allowing them to change their campus preference or to enroll in a subsequent class, as noted above. lNTERCAMPUS TRANSFER Once enrolled on either campus, any student in good academic standing may apply for transfer to the alternate campus for the upcoming academic year. They must notify the Registrar's Office of their intention to transfer by the third Monday in February of the previous year. Those students who wish to apply for financial aid must also file their new financial aid forms by March I. All intercampus transfers must be approved by the deans of both campuses and may be restricted by limitations in various campus resources, such as available space and staffing. STUDENT RIGHT TO KNow AcT In compliance with this act, the Office of the Registrar will provide and make readily available, upon request, completion or graduation rates to current and prospective students.

It is probably wise to get first-hand advance knowledge of any college one may be thinking of attending, but it is especially wise in the case of St. John's because of its unique curriculum and teaching methods. While on campus the visitor may attend a seminar on Monday or Thursday evening at 8 P.M.; attend tutorials in mathematics, language, and music; visit a laboratory; be interviewed by the Director of Admissions, a member of the admissions staff, or a tutor; attend the weekly formal lecture (Friday night); talk informally with St. John's students and tutors; visit the library and bookstore; explore the historic town of Annapolis or Santa Fe; attend a movie, play, art exhibit, or concert; or watch students participating in the sports program. Since the seminar, the most important part of the program, meets on Monday and Thursday evenings, student visitors are normally on campus from Monday to Tuesday or from Thursday to Friday. If travel arrangements make these time periods impossible, the visitor may telephone the Admissions Office for special help. The calendar in the front of the catalog should be checked to make certain the college will be in session during the time of the visit. Those planning to visit should telephone (I-800-727-9238 for Annapolis or I-800-33I-5232 for Santa Fe) or write the Admissions Office giving the dates (and alternates) they have selected. It is also necessary for the Admissions Office to know the approximate time of arrival. When the reservation is confirmed by telephone or letter, the visitor will be told the seminar reading. If it is necessary to cancel the visit, the Admissions Office should be notified as soon as possible. The only expense for visitors is transportation. They will be provided a room in I 55 a dormitory and meals in the dining hall without charge. St. John's students dress informally for tutorials, but more formally for seminar and formal lecture. The seminar readings usually can be located in inexpensive paperback editions in the college bookstore if a visitor has been unable to locate a copy of the book being discussed in seminar. Linens are provided by the college. Visitors arriving weekdays between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. should go to the Admissions Office. On weekends and any day after 5 P.M., visitors should go to the college receptionist. The receptionist is at the switchboard in Pinkney Hall at Annapolis and in Peterson Student Center at Santa Fe. TRANSPORTATION Baltimore-Washington International Airport is located twenty miles from Annapolis. An airport limousine goes to and from Annapolis; visitors are advised to check schedules in advance. Bus service from the airport is not practical. Hourly buses run between Baltimore and Annapolis, and the driver will let visitors off near the campus if asked. Buses from Washington are less frequent and let passengers off on West Street, about six blocks from the college. By car, take Route 50 from Washington; from Baltimore take Route 2 or I-97. Albuquerque International Airport is located sixty miles from the Santa Fe campus. A shuttle service from the airport to Santa Fe is available. Call the Admissions Office for information. Greyhound and Continental bus lines pass through Santa Fe. Amtrak stops at Lamy, N.M., twenty miles from Santa Fe, and taxi service is available to town (reservations should be made with the taxi service one day in advance). Upon arrival at the bus station or at one of the Santa Fe hotels, the easiest way to get to the campus is by taxi. �{ST. {FEES 56 & FINANCIAL PROCEDURES AND DEADLINES T he college believes that qualified applicants should not be denied the opportunity to attend St. John's College because of limited resources. St. John's therefore maintains a financial aid program to assist eligible students to the greatest extent possible within the limits of the college's resources. Financial aid awards are made solely on the basis of need. PRINCIPLES I. The primary responsibility for financing a college education lies with the student and the student's parents. The college can offer aid only to supplement funds the family provides. 2. The ability of a family to meet college expenses is determined by assessing the family's financial strength in terms of income, assets, family size and number in college. 3. Financial aid may be in the form of a grant, loan, or part-time employment, and will be offered to eligible students as a package that combines one or more forms of aid. 4. In keeping with the philosophy that students should contribute to their educational expenses, self-help is the first component of a financial aid award. At St. John's, self-help consists of a part-time job and educational loans. S· Financial aid is not automatically renewable; rather, students reapply each year theywish to be considered for aid. 6. Students receiving financial aid must meet the criteria for maintaining satisfactory progress in order to retain their award (see page 63). 7. Financial aid awards are made in accordance with the provisions of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act ofI964 and Title IX of the Higher Education Act of Ig8o, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, physical handicap, age, marital status, creed or ethnic or national origin. U.S. I. JOHN'S COLLEGE} AID} S· Students applying for and receiving financial aid from St. John's are required to notify the Financial Aid Office of any scholarships, loans, grants, gifts, employment or other financial benefits for which they become eligible; any change in their or their family's financial situation; and changes of name, marital status, and address. CITI~ENS AND PERMANENT RESIDENTS Applicants must file the current Fr~e Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In addition, St. John's requires students seeking institutional grant aid to file the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form. These forms may be obtained online at www.fafsa.ed.gov and http:/ /profileonline.collegeboard.com. To have an analysis of your forms sent to St. John's, be sure to use the correct code numbers. PROFILE: Annapolis=ssg8; Santa Fe=4737. FAFSA: Annapolis=oo2092; Santa Fe=oo2093. 2 . As part of the application for financial aid, parents and students must provide copies of their most recent Federal Income Tax Return and W-2 forms. 3. Self-supporting students are required to meet the federal definition of independence and must comply with federal verification requirements. Independent students must submit parental information in order to be considered for institutional assistance. Financial aid packages for self-supporting students are generally not adequate to cover the full need of such applicants because of funding limit~tions in both federal and insti-tutional programs. 4. Recipients of federally funded financial assistance must not be in default on any federal loans received at any institution· and must not owe any refunds to the federal programs. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS AND NoN-U.S. CITIZENS I. Davis United World Scholars Program: St. John's is one of only 6s colleges and universities in the United States committed to enrolling graduates of the United World Colleges. All graduates of the United World Colleges who have been accepted and demonstrate financial need are eligible for $rn,ooo scholarships for each year of enrollment at St. John's, awarded in combination with grant aid offered by the college. For details contact the Office of Admissions on either campus. 2. Financial aid for international students is limited and competition for it is strong. All aid is based on demonstrated need. For Non-US citizens the college offers two full-need scholarships annually on each campus, in addition to an unlimited number ofinstitutional assistance awards covering up to 6s3 of current tuition, room, and board. 3. Non-U.S. citizens should file the International Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as early as possible, preferably no later than February IS. This form may be obtained from our web site at www.stjohnscollege.edu or from the St. John's Admissions Office. No requests for financial assistance will be considered and no offers of financial aid will be made until after a student has been admitted to the college. 57 DEADLINES AND NOTIFICATION DATES FRESHMAN CANDIDATES: Although the college has no deadline for receipt of financial aid applications, candidates for admission who are in need of financial assistance should indicate that need as soon as possible. The FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's Profile form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Applicants should note also that the earlier their aid application is received, the better the chance that their financial need can be fully met. Candidates for admission applying for financial aid after February IS (for fall classes) or after September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly lower chance of receiving all the funds for which they are eligible than those applying earlier. Applications are due by April I in Annapolis and March I in Santa Fe from enrolled students who are returning to the college and reapplying for financial aid or are applying for financial aid for the first time. Both the FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Students whose applications for financial aid are received after the deadline will not be denied consideration for assistance, but the availability of funds cannot be guaranteed, and late penalties will be applied. RETURNING STUDENTS: SouRcEs OF Arn ST. JOHN'S GRANTS: Funds for St. John's grants are provided by the college from its own resources. St. John's grants do not need to be repaid. This federal program is designed to provide financial assistance to needy students to attend a post-secondary institution. Pell Grants are intended to be the first form of assistance FEDERAL PELL GRANT: �58 {FEES & FINANCIAL in a financial aid package and may be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet a student's demonstrated financial need. Eligibility for the Pell Grant and the amount awarded are determined on the basis of the financial resources of the applicant and the applicant's family. No repayment of this grant is required. FEDERAL ACADEMIC COMPETITIVENESS GRANTS: Students who are Pell Grant recipients may receive $750 as freshman and $I300 as sophomores from the ACG program. Recipients must prove that they have completed a rigorous secondary school curriculum. FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL These grants are awarded to students who demonstrate substantial need with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Eligibility for the SEOG is limited to a maximum of $4,000 per year and depends on availability of federal funding. OPPORTUNITY GRANT: This federal program permits the college to give part-time employment to students who need such earnings to pursue their course of study. Students may work only a limited number of hours per week while enrolled and while classes are in session. FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAMS: These loans are made by the college directly to students using funds provided by the federal government. Perkins Loans are made available to students with high financial need. The maximum loan is $4,000 for each year of undergraduate study. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the college. The interest rate during repayment is 5%. There is a provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN: FEDERAL SUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOAN: The Federal Stafford Loan program enables a student to borrow directly from {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} AID} a bank, credit union or other participating lender. The maximum amount an undergraduate may borrow is $3,500 for the freshman year, $4,500 for the sophomore year, $5,500 for the junior year, and $5,500 for the senior year. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is a full-time student. Repayment begins six months after termination of college attendance. For new borrowers, the interest rate is fixed at 6.8%. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to students who do not meet the financial need criteria for the sub-sidized Stafford program. Unsubsidized borrowers are charged interest during in-school, grace, and deferment periods. FEDERAL PLUS LOAN: Unsubsidized federal loans are available without regard to financial need to the parents of dependent students. The maximum annual PLUS loan is the student's total estimated cost of education less financial assistance. PLUS Loans have a 3% origination fee, a guarantee fee of up to I%, and a fixed interest rate of 8.5%. Interest accrues from the date of disbursement for all PLUS loans. 2008-09 STUDENT BUDGET' Tuition .. ..... . ........ .. . . .

BILLING AND DEPOSITS B ................................................ ................................................................ ···~ illing for tuition and fees is done prior to each semester. Unless otherwise requested, the college presents its bills directly to the student. The charges are due and payable in full by August I for the first semester and December I for the second semester. Those who may wish to pay in monthly installments should ask the Treasurer's Office about the tuition payment plan available to St. John's College students and parents. Since determinations affecting students, faculty, and physical facilities must be made well in advance of the beginning of each academic year, the college must know in April which returning students will register 59 in September. A deposit of $soo on the fees for the following year is therefore due on or before the second Monday in April for prospective sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the deposit is not paid, the student may have to be placed on a waiting list; students to whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, academic dismissal or (in the case of rising juniors) failure to enable (see page 3I). If the student should decide not to enroll in the year for which the deposit was made, the deposit is forfeited, and the student must make a new deposit to secure a place in a subsequent class. �{FEES 60 & FINANCIAL {FEES AID} receive their benefit payments. These arrangements must be made prior to the beginning of the academic year, after having received proper certification from the Veterans Administration or the Social Security Administration. Students with outstanding debts to the college may not register for classes at the beginning of the second semester and subsequent semesters unless they have made appropriate arrangements with the Treasurer's Office. The college may charge interest on all unpaid balances, at rates and on schedules to be determined and published each year. REFUND POLICY & FINANCIAL After a student notifies the Registrar of an intention to withdraw, the student is urged to discuss the decision with college personnel. If a student decides not to withdraw after the discussion with college personnel, the student should notify the Office of the Registrar of that decision. If a student wishes to reverse a decision to withdraw after the Official Notice of Withdrawal has been submitted, the student must provide a written notification. If a student who rescinded an intention to withdraw does not complete the semester, the official date of withdrawal will be the later of the date the withdrawal form was obtained or the last date of class attendance. UNOFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL: If a student does DETERMINATION OF DATE OF WITHDRAWAL Each student is required to make a deposit of $200, called the Caution Deposit, which is used as a last resort to recover unpaid student bills. This fee is paid once at the beginning of the freshman year. If unused, it is refunded when the student leaves the college. Each graduating senior must pay a Commencement Fee of $100 at the beginning of the second semester of the senior year. Veterans and Social Security recipients qualified to receive educational benefits may arrange with the treasurer for a payment schedule of tuition and fees corresponding to the schedule on which they A student considering withdrawal prior to the end of the semester may initiate the withdrawal process by notifying the Office of the Registrar. When a student notifies the Registrar of an intention to withdraw, the student will be given a form entitled "Official Notice of Withdrawal." At this point the student has officially indicated the intent to withdraw and the day the Official Notice of Withdrawal Form is obtained will be the date of withdrawal used for the calculation of return of Title IV Funds and institutional refund.

The same schedule will be used to calculate the cancellation of non-federal financial aid: the "refund amount" percentage provides the percentage of aid to be cancelled and the "amount charged" percentage corresponds to the revised aid the student will receive. For example, a student withdrawing within the first seven days of school would receive 10% of nonfederal aid that had been awarded. B. A student who is expelled or asked to withdraw for academic or disciplinary reasons will receive no refund of tuition, room and board, or other fees. C. If the college determines that the circumstances leading to withdrawal are beyond the student's control, the student will be charged for tuition, activity fee, INSTITUTIONAL REFUNDS A. If a student withdraws prior to the end of the semester, a refund of tuition will be made according to the Institutional Refund Schedule. The student's withdrawal date is established as outlined in the initial section of the Refund Policy. The next step in determination of the institutional refund is to count the number of calendar days from the first day of classes to the date of withdrawal (weekimds are included but scheduled breaks of least five days are excluded). The schede on page 60 is used to determine the room, and board based on the percentage of the semester attended (number of days enrolled divided by total number of days in the semester). The same percentage will be applied to institutional aid. Documentation of circumstances leading to the withdrawal may be required; for example, a letter from a physician will be required if a student is unable to complete the semester for medical reasons. �62 {FEES RETURN OF TITLE & FINANCIAL IV Fmms If a student who has received Title IV Funds (federal financial aid) leaves the institution a calculation will be performed to determine the amount of unearned aid that must go back to the Title IV programs.

John's College is a community dedicated to liberal education. Liber educated human beings, the college believes, acquire a lifelong co ment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative oft common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligatio They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they poss the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John's College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the of great books - texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures - because they exp most originally and often most perfectly the ideas by which contemporary li knowingly or unknowingly governed. These books are the most important teac They are both timeless and timely; they illuminate the persisting questions ofh existence, and they bear directly on the problems we face today. Their authors speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they to tell us is not of merely academic concern or remote from our true interests. change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human tions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of· pendent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they pl us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligib · They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or poli treatises, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosop They are also linked together, for each of them is introduced, supported, or criti by the others. In that sense they converse with each other. They draw the reade take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversati This conversation, however, is unavoidably one-sided. The great books can o repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. remedy this defect is the goal of the St. John's seminar. Here a number of stude varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, atte to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing to submit opinions to one another's questions. The demands of the individual and those of group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion m with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. On the o hand, it may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary ques · that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumpti {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 7 ey have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discuson they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameess of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things e - to help the students make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they ce. And it is the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of thought and discuson thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational ethods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. AB much as possible, the tual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and 'tiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the dents and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education. The primafunction of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the rms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they come means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in num: grammar, rhetoric, logic - the arts of language; and arithmetic, geometry, sic, and astronomy - the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the beral arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all · ds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measurg, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of hem: discussion, translation, writing, experiment, mathematical demonstration, d musical analysis. Whatever methods are used, they all serve the same end: to 'te the students to think freely for themselves. By these means, students will be e to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills · serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over e centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indissable. They enable men and women to win knowledge of the world around them d knowledge of themselves in this world and to use that knowledge with wisdom. nder their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the wantonness of rejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and men can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal ts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. �8 {THE CURRICULUM} THE SEMINAR T he heart of the curriculum is the seminar - a discussion of assigned readings from the boo~s of the program. In each semmar seventeen to twentyone students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, for two hours - or sometimes longer if the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around eighty pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. The seminar begins with a question asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists mostly of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not just to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at will. The resulting informality is tempered by the use of formal modes of address. Once underway, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and aggression and to bring to the surface the students' opinions and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity's ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading, but bearing only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the coffee shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of mon courtesy, there are only two r first, all opinions must be heard explored, however sharplytheymayc second, every opinion must be sup by argument - an unsupported op does not count.

JOHN'S Under these circumstances, the primarole of the leaders is not to give inforation, nor is it to produce the "right" 'nion or interpretation. It is to guide e discussion, to keep it moving, to raise jections and to help the students in ery way possible to understand the thor, the issues, and themselves. The st useful instrument for this purpose is question; perhaps the most useful ·ce of all is the question "Why?" But e leaders may also take a definite and itive stand and enter directly into the ment. If they do so, however, they can ect no special consideration. Reason is only recognized authority. Consequentall opinions must be defended with rean, and any single opinion can prevail y by general consent. The aim is always COLLEGE} 9 to develop the students' powers of reason and understanding, and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, sophomore, and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes the major part of the process called enabling (see page 3r). �10 {THE CURRICULUM} THE PRECEPTORIAL ·or about seven to eight weeks in the middle of the year the seminars of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually a choice of to on books or subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offeT them. Students may suggest a and invite a tutor to study it with them. many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the program, some may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more Guided by a tutor, at a pace more than that permitted the semithe students' work is completed by the wTiting of papers, which may be read in draft to the and other members. Listed below are some of the pn~ce·otc\, al subjects offered on the two ~~'""u"c' recent years. {ST. JOHN'S seminar cannot suffice as only setting for liberal eduBy its very nature, the does not give the stuan opportunity to cultiate the habits of methodical and careful and of persistently precise discusand vVTiting. Other learning devices :must therefore support it; these are the 'tutorials in language, mathematics, and music, For each of four years, a student ends one language and one mathemats tutorial three times a week. Sophoalso attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, around a table, about thirteen to sixteen students study and iearn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstra-tion, of an important work Ai; in the semfaar, students talk freely with one another with the tutor, but the discussion "'"'Ancoc sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and insight to their fellows, Other tutors often attend, seeking to learn about a particular 'subject that they may later teach. Writing assignments are normally in all classes: mathematics, music, laboratory sections, as well as in lantutorials. The students are thus upon continually to articulate and their thinking in both the writand spoken forms, :Sn,ecializaticm in higher education has led profound neglect oflanguage skills. As is separated from country the 11 COLLEGE} means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and of terms; to the role analogies and images; and to the logical relations that connect The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years, and French in the third and fourth years) an effective means to these ends, By studying these languages, by from them into English, comparing them with each other and with English, the students learn of the nature of lanancl of theiJ: own in particulaL During the four years, then, study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of and as the medium of the art di:rectly and through the interof their own language. They discover the resources of articulate and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent and effective - if it is to and e11HJJr1a,01s is on iiHUHaLlCaJ COn- structions, and the guage being studied, Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the trend and of the central idea, is and corrected by a more one that is details and shades of and with the abstract logical structme and rhetorical pattern of a work. Those are matters that do �12 {THE CURRICULUM} not come directly into seminar discussions. The students' concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign language, but the students can reasonably expect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they study. To experience the individuality of ano language is to extend the boundar' one's sensibility.

The first year of Greek, how goes well with the freshman seminar mathematics tutorial, and the con ance of Greek into the second advances the work of the first. The se year ends with analysis and discussi works by Shakespeare, Donne, and English poets. The French of the third year be with a brief, intensive study of Fr grammar followed by the reading French text. The aim here is econo progress toward facility in the rea · simple French. Students already flu French may be exempted from these stages. Then follows examination of form and content of French prose se tions. Discussions of both form and tent are related to appropriate wri assignments, including exercises in lation in which the students attem match in their own tongue the excell of their models. In the second semest play is read - Racine's Phedre. The principal activity of the fourth is the reading of French prose and including a number of poems Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal. Its imm object is the understanding and enj of each poem in its parts and as aw also provides a substantial basis for sion of the art of poetry and clarifica the relation of that art to the traditi eral arts of language. Writing assi include exercises in translation more tious than those attempted in the t year. The year ends with analysis and cussion of modern British and Am poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Dylan Tho W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. {ST. JOHN'S thematics is a vital part of education; t this is true or ought to be is suggested the word itself, for it is derived from a eek word meaning "to learn." It is rettable, then, that students should e to dislike mathematics or to think of mselves as unmathematical. It is equalregrettable that competent mathematis are often unaware of the philosophiassumptions upon which mathematical ations and formulas are based. Mathetics at St. John's is studied as a liberal , not artificially separated from what e come to be called the humanities. en mathematics is taught at an unhurd pace, in an atmosphere of reflective · , and from treatises chosen not only their matter but also for their gance and imagination, as it is at John's, mathematics becomes not only most readily learnable liberal art but one that provides ready access to oths and significant analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studyg mathematics. First, it pervades our odern world, perhaps even defines it. erefore anyone who means to criticize reform, to resist or cooperate with this rld, not only must have some familiariwith the mathematical methods by ·ch it is managed, but also must have ought about the assumptions that derlie their application. It is the task of mathematics tutorial and the laboratogether to help students to think t what it means to count and measure ngs in the universe. The second main reason for studying thematics concerns the mathematics rial more specifically. Since mathe:tics has, as its name implies, a particuly close connection with the human acity for learning, its study is especialuseful in helping students to think out what it means to come to know ething. COLLEGE} 13 To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? What is the relation of logic to mathematics? What do "better" and "worse," "ugly" and "beautiful" signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are there "mathematical objects"? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid's organization of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects - its central expression found in the theory of ratios - which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy's Almagest, centering their attention on the problem of "hypotheses" constructed to "save the appearances" in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between �74 {THE CURRICULUM} the mathematics tutorial at St. John's and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: His work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study Copernicus' transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into heliocentric form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an understanding of algebra as the "analytic art" in general. In the third year, calculus is studied both analytically in its modern form and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. In the second semester, students take up Newton's treatment of astronomy in the Principia, in which he brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomy with a "dynamic" theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The year concludes with an examination of Dedekind's theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski's approach to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postu- {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 15 lates of geometry, as well as on the of the geometric art as a whole. S also study Einstein's special theory ativity, which challenges our conven understanding of the nature of time space. THE Music TUTORIAL One of the aims of the St. John's pro has been to restore music as a liberal the curriculum. The study of mus St. John's is not directed toward mance, but toward an understandin phenomena of music. The ancients ac ed music a place among the liberal because they understood it as one o essential functions of the mind, ass with the mind's power to grasp numb measure. The liberal art of musi based, for them, on the ratios among numbers. In particular, the music progra St. John's aims at the understandi music through close study of musical ry and analysis of works of musical ture. In the freshman year, students once a week to study the fundament melody and its notation. Demons takes place primarily by singing, and second semester the students pe some of the great choral works. I sophomore year, a tutorial meets times a week. Besides continui singing, the music tutorial reflects ferent but complementary aspe music. On the one hand, music is in · ly related to language, rhetoric, and:\> On the other, it is a unique and self. cient art, which has its roots de nature. The work of the tutorial inclu investigation of rhythm in words as in notes, a thorough investigation diatonic system, a study of the ra musical intervals, and a conside melody, counterpoint, and harmony. of these are done apart from the so 'ty of good music. The inventions of h, the songs of Schubert, the masses of trina, the operas of Mozart, and the umental works of Beethoven are the textbooks. In the second semester, at tone major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are luded as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. �76 {THE CURRICULUM} THE LABORATORY T ree hundred years ago, algera and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by Rene Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, politics, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the St. John's program and one that the college takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last two years of the program exhibit the far-reaching changes that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period from Homer to Descartes. Modern mathematics has made possible the exploration of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast project of study conceived by the great thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. Liberal learning is concerned with the artifices of the human mind and hand that help us to relate our experiences to our understanding. For this purpose, St. John's has set up a three-year laboratory in the natural sciences, wherein characteristic and related topics of physics, biology, and chemistry are pursued. There is the art of measurement, which involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measurement; crucial experiments are reproduced; the interplay of hypothesis, theory, and fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is sup- {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 77 ported by the mathematics tuto which provide the necessary unde ing of mathematical techniques. The task, however, is not to c exhaustively the various scientific plines, to bring the student up to them, or to engage in specialized res It is rather to make the student exp and understand the significance of as a human enterprise involving mental assumptions and a variety of The college does not subscribe sharp separation of scientific studi the humanities, as iftheywere distin autonomous domains of learning. need not be "two ''cultures." Dif fields of exploration require dif methods and techniques, but the in of scientific pursuits stems from so common to all intellectual life. THE ORGANIZATION OF THE WORAT WORK The laboratory program is largely mined by three considerations rele the liberalization of the study of scie The formally scheduled experiment must be combined with a full and cussion of the instruments and p · involved in it. (2) The content of the should be so chosen as to enable th dents to trace a scientific discipline roots in principle, assumption, and vation.

(3) The schedule ofla rywork should give opportunity for ly but intensive experimentation. dents must have time to satisfy the as to the degree of accuracy their i ments permit, to analyze procedur sources of error, to consider alter methods, and on occasion to re entire experiment. Only thus ca come to a mature understanding of ences called "exact." A laboratory section consists of fourn to sixteen students working under guidance of a tutor, with the help of e advanced students serving as assiss. Sections meet two or three times a k. A laboratory session may be used exposition and discussion of theory, experimentation, or for both, as the gress of the work requires. In most s, the basis for discussion is a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Harvey, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. �{THE 18 CURRICULUM} WORATORY TOPICS THE FIRST YEAR The general topics of study have bee~ ch~­ sen from elementary physical and b10logrcal sciences. The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: The laboratory begins with twelve w devoted to topics in observational b" gy: classification of types, anatom structure, cells and their aggregation differentiation, and embryological de opment. Close observation by the n eye or with microscopes is accomp by constant theoretical interpret based on reading important works of logical scientists. Here the student fronts organisms as self-moving enti with properties of wholeness, intim dependent on, yet distinct from, the rounding world.

The student compares the views Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of bstance and substantial change, and es on to study and discuss important iginal texts bearing on the development the atomic-molecular theory. Experients are performed to help with the derstanding of the texts and the ysical and chemical transformation of "ch they speak. The year's work culmites in the resolution of the problem of termining atomic weights and in an ination of some consequences of this e third-year laboratory deals with topcommon to a number of the traditional "sions of physics, such as mechanics, tics, and electromagnetism. Throught the year, experimentation is accompaby the reading of important original · 'ngs by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, on, Leibniz, Carnot, and Maxwell. e mathematical tools of physics are to put to work in the laboratory at the e time that their rigorous developt is pursued in the mathematics tutos. As the tools of the calculus become ailable, the emphasis shifts from a ct, qualitative description of force, leration, work, energy, and potential s to their reformulation in terms of ·vative and integral; at the same time, physical concepts serve to illustrate mathematical ideas. The concepts of hanics are to be used to formulate rnative theories of light - corpuscular wave - and the success of either theoin accounting for optical phenomena is COLLEGE} 19 examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromagnetic theory of light. THE FOURTH YEAR In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first ten weeks, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism - but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrodinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. The Laboratory program ends as it began - with a study of living organisms. In the spring of the senior year, students finally confront the evidence and arguments for their modern views of evolution and genetics. The semester begins with Darwin and Mendel, proceeds to a synthesis, and then traces developments in cellular and molecular biology which are thought to undergird this synthesis, as presented in seminal papers by 20th century biologists. In addition, this work raises questions about whether there is purpose in nature, whether there are natual kinds, what distinquishes living from nonliving, whether living things have a wholeness, and if so, what is responsible for it. �20 {THE THE FORMAL LECTURE T {ST. JOHN'S CURRICULUM} he curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar readings or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students' readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a disc Here the lecturers submit themse prolonged questioning by the st with the faculty participating. Of discussion turns into a seminar.

The title professor is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying the text that is the principal teacher of the class - it might be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wrote from the high point of their learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful exam. ples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the tutors is to question, to listen and to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration or explanation, but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to help themselves. In order that conversations at St. John's will not be limited to what fits neatly inside a single discipline, it is essential that St. John's tutors re-educate themselves to acquire increased understanding in those parts of the program that are outside their field of post-graduate training. For example, tutors with advanced degrees in mathematics would prepare ORDER} 27 themselves to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage of this for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not parry their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. There are no departments! The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John's program. This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a sirlgle part of the program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and they are continually teaching their colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John's than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up. Leaders of such groups are sometimes relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by themselves or the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John's curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John's. �28 {THE ACADEMIC T THE LIBRARY T he books chosen for study at St. John's are collected in the best editions and translations that can be obtained. These works form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes serving as secondary sources and representative works in the major fields of learning. Holdings are most extensive in philosophy, literature, and the history of science. The library also provides newspapers and periodicals, audio-visual materials, multiple copies of some seminar readings, and other smaller collections. A faculty committee assists the librarians with collection development. The Greenfield Library in Annapolis houses a collection of approximately I23,ooo volumes, in addition to pamphlet collections, rare books, and lectures available in both audio and print. The current library structure was renovated in Ig96, and occupies the old historic building formerly known as the Maryland Hall of JOHN'S alumni publications collection and the Holtzman Music Collection. THE INSTRUCTION COMMITTEE he Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the presidents on appointments to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and twelve tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year. The full committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those annual meetings. {ST. ORDER} SCHEDULES r Records on campus.

The Witter Bynner Collecti and the Edgar Allen Poe Collection Santa Fe contain first editions of each as well as other belles lettres. In ad the Santa Fe library contains a facul haps the most distinctive ark of St. John's College is the ct that all the students of the ame year are reading the same ooks at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid's Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles' timer- 29 COLLEGE} al oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods oflaboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-and- one-half hours to fourand-one-half hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six hours each week in the laboratory. Two evenings, from eight to ten, all students attend a seminar. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to nineteen hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of sixteen weeks each.

These essays are based directly upon books in the program. ORAL ExAMINATIONS Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are held. These are conducted by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of their study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of their classes. For freshmen, the first oral examination of the year is given before the winter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin. {ST. ORDER} JOHN'S THE ALGEBRA ExAMINATION ACADEMIC STANDING Before the second semester of their sop more year, students must pass an ex tion in elementary algebra and trigono try. Review sessions are offered. ecause St. John's classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students' progress from day to day. The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student's total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of ability and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John's is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for grades. Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John's, attendance at all regularly scheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. THE FINAL EssAY AND ORAL EXAMINATION In the senior year, the student is require present to the faculty a final essay relate some aspect of the four years' work. It is intended to be a piece of speciali research, but rather a sustained per£ mance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at start of the second semester are rese for essay writing; during this period seniors attend no classes. If the final is approved by the faculty committee which it has been assigned for reading, student is examined about it by the co mittee in an hour-long public examinatio No degree is awarded unless both the and the oral examination are satisfacto The senior essay is regarded as a culmina~ tion of the student's learning. B COLLEGE} 31 time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student's work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. LETTER GRADES Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on request. The tutor's comprehensive judgment of a student is reported to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, Dor F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has stopped, the student is asked to leave the college. SOPHOMORE ENABLING Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a semester, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors meet with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students' work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors' reports and comment on their own work. Advice may be requested and given; difficulties may be aired; but grades are not reported or discussed. In the junior year, conferences replace some of the don rags. In conferences, students report on their own work, and then the tutors comment on that report. By the Sophomore enabling is a review by the Instruction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of sophomores, of the student's learning during the two years spent in the college. The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling procedure. Consequently, no students are enabled to enter the junior class unless they have written a satisfactory essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are sufficiently prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student writing an acceptable senior essay. �32 {THE ACADEMIC THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS T he student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfactorily is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, but they spend their first summer in completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John's seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately one hundred thirty-four semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN'S I n a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John's alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John's graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 2I.93 are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • 18.83 are in communications or the arts; • 17.33 are in business or business-related occupations; {ST. ORDER} • 9.73 work in the field oflaw, with m in private practice or the judiciary; • 9-43 work in computers/sciences/m ematics; • 6.93 work in the health professio mainly as physicians; • 6.63 work in social services, inclu · counseling, psychology, social work, the ministry. • 9-43 choose other fields, includi urban planning, skilled craftsmans foreign service/Peace Corps, gove ment service, veterinary medici homemaking, farming, armed fore and conservation/ecology. More than 753 of St. John's gradua; pursue formal education beyond the calaureate level, with close to 303 of ea graduating class pursuing advanced studi at leading universities across the coun St. John's students consistently score s stantially above the national averages on Graduate Record Examination (GRE) an the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Most fields of study may be enter directly from St. John's. Some of the mo highly technical fields may require addi tional preparation, either prior to or duti ing the first year of graduate study. St. John's has developed special progr and relationships with specific gradu and professional schools to help entry in fields such as medicine, business, engi" neering, and teaching. THE ST. JottN's DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS Tutors who have completed two years teaching at St. John's may receive a ter's degree in liberal arts. They m petition the Instruction Committee fi permission to present themselves as c didates for the degree. They must th submit a thesis on a topic approved by Instruction Committee and stand for oral examination upon it. The topic have some bearing on the understan and practice of the liberal arts. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 33 THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION T .,.........................................................,. ........................................................ he Graduate Institute at St. John's College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, modeled on that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS T he aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts degree (thirty-six semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely integrated program of study. Classes are small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which fourteen to twentyone students engage in a discussion initiated by a tutor's question about the assigned reading. In the tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students (twelve to sixteen) focuses more intensively on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and spring terms, and usually four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master's essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately sixty to ninety students have been enrolled on each campus during each session. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools. �35 34 DEGREE OF MASTER OF .,ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS ...........................................................,.......................................................

The program includes a series of semiars, preceptorials, and a language tutoriin either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. n the seminar, fourteen to twenty-one dents discuss assigned readings from a de range oflndian, Chinese, and Japane texts. In the tutorial, twelve to fifteen dents study either Sanskrit or classical hinese. The goal is not mastery, but ather sufficient familiarity with the eleen ts of the languages to gain some sight into their structure and to trans- late selected short passages from classical texts. In the preceptorial, eight to twelve students study a single work or theme for an eight-week period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged. �37 36 THE EASTERN CLASSICS CURRICULUM FALL SEMESTER SPRING SEMESTER SUMMER SEMESTER CHINESE TUTORIAL CHINESE TUTORIAL _S_E_M_I_N_A_R _ _ _ _ _~ _ Pronunciation and grammar Confucius: Analects* Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching• T'ang Poetry Mencius: Works* SANSKRIT TUTORIAL Bhagavad-Gita • Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra • The Tale ofthe Heike LotusSutra Sei Shonagon: The Pillow Bo Kenko: Essays in Idleness Dogen: Shobogenzo • Basho: The Narrow Road to th( Deep North Chushingura: The Treasuryof Loyal Retainers SANSKRIT TUTORIAL Gonda, A Concise Elementary Grammar ofthe Sanskrit Language Devanagari script SEMINAR Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching Confucius: Analects, The Great Learning and The Doctrine of theMean Mo Tzu: Basic Writings ofMo Tz,; • Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Mencius: Works• Hsiin Tzu: Writings ofHsun Tzu• Han Fei Tzu: Writings ofHan Pei Tzu* Ssu-ma Ch'ien: Records of the Grand Historian• !Ching Rig Veda Brihad-Aranyaka Upanishad Kena Upanishad Mundaka Upanishad Katha Upanishad Ishvara Krishna: Sankhya Karika Tattva-Kaumudi* Patanjali: Yoga Sutra Jayadeva: Gitagovinda PRECEPT 0 RIAL (examples) Mahabharata (required) !Ching Confucius: Analects Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Lao Tzu: Basic Writings SEMINAR Kalidasa: Shakuntala, Kumarasambhava and Meghaduta Jamini: Mimamsa Sutra • Kumarila Bhatta: Slokavartika Katha Upanishad Institutes ofManu Kautilya: Artha-Shastra KamaSutra• Mahabharata Bhagavad-Gita Abhinavagupta: Dhvanyaloka* Jayarasi Bhatta: Tattvopaplavasimha • Asvaghosa: Buddhacarita Majjhima Nikaya • Vimalakirti Sutra • Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra Chandrakirti: Prasannapada Lankavatara Sutra * Guadapada: The GreatKarika on the Mandukya Upanishad Shankara: Commentary on the Vedanta Sutras T'ao Ch'ien: Record ofthe Peach Blossom Fountainhead Chinese Poetry* Diamond Sutra HeartSutra Hui-Neng: Platform Sutra ofthe Sixth Patriarch Chu Hsi: Chu Tzu ch 'uan-shu, and Chu Tzu wen-chi PRECEPT 0 RI AL (examples) Rig Veda Upanishads Ts' ao Hsueh-Shin: Story ofthe Stone Ssu-ma Ch'ien: Records ofthe Grand Historian Neo-Confucian Texts Chinese Vernacular Prose of the Ming Dynasty PRECEPTORIAL Murasaki Shikibu: The Tale of Genji (required) FoR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION To receive a Program Statement containing more detailed information about the Graduate Institute, as well as application ··forms, contact us at either of the following addresses: Graduate Admissions Office St. John's College P.O.

Such activities in Annapolis are sponsored both by the Director of Athletics and by the Senior Resident for student activities. In Santa Fe they are organized by the Student Activities Office (SAO), which is responsible for providing instruction and equipment. THE ANNAPOLIS CAMPUS S ince its founding as King William's School in r696, St. John's has been situated in the colonial seaport town of Annapolis, capital of the State of Maryland. Its population of 40,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the state and of Anne Arundel County; with the training of midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy; with the fish, crab, and oyster industry; and with the sailing and recreational activities of the Chesapeake Bay. The campus of thirty-six acres lies in the historic district, adjoining College Creek, one block from the State House and across the street from the Naval Academy yard. The fifteen buildings include r8th-century historic homes, rgth-century Victorian structures, and 20th and 2rst-century buildings designed to complement the older ones. There are eight student dormitories, offering single, double, and triple rooms. The community of students has governed itself since r945 with elected officers and delegates representing each dormitory and the off-campus constituency. The Student Polity representatives, called the Delegate Council, meet once a week to hear requests from students for funds, to remind students of their responsibilities to the college community, and to express student opinion on common problems. The Delegate Council sT u D E NT L I F E } 39 also meets with college officials to discuss matters of mutual concern and maintains a Student Committee on Instruction, which works with the Faculty Instruction Committee on academic matters. A Food Committee works with the dining hall manager to develop satisfactory dishes for regular and vegetarian menus. The Gadfly, a student newspaper, provides a second medium for expression of opinion to the community as a whole. Controversy ranges from petty to vital; essays, reviews, and news are included. Energeia, the college's student-run literary magazine, is published annually and contains longer and more polished essays, poetry, and fiction. Students are also welcome to contribute to The College, an official publication of St. John's. Extracurricular organizations at St. John's are generally informal. Some continue year after year, while others spring up and die out as the individual members of the community come and go. Many extracurricular activities grow directly out of the curriculum as students' interests overflow from the classroom. The past years have seen small classes and study groups - some led by students, others by tutors - in harmony, Latin, Chinese, German, the New Testament, Hegel, Leibniz, African-American literature, and selected women writers. Other activities stem from interests independent of the college curriculum, such as astronomy, dance, and the martial arts. A network of PC and Macintosh computers is available for student use in a computer lab. The lab, open 24 hours a day, serves mainly to provide students with free access to word-processing and Internet services. Students can use the lab for writing essays, corresponding by email, printing out papers written on personal computers, and exploring the World Wide Web. All dorm rooms are wired for Internet access. �40 {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} {RESIDENCE & Prints, The Figure in 20th Century Sculpture and Space and Place: Map making East and West.

The campus of 250 acres lies in the southeast quadrant of the city, two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architecture of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of 7,300 feet, overlooks the city and offers superb views of the Cerrillos, the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The campus includes a classroom building, a science laboratory building, a library, a student center, an athletic center, a computer laboratory, a music and fine arts building, an administration building, three clusters of dormitories, and ten furnished, two-bedroom apartments. A conference services office, dining hall, and student health office are also located in these buildings. Each of the r6 dormitory units on the .main campus houses from r2 to r8 students, and the eight dorm suites, which house five people, serve as a smaller community of friends within the college. More than half the rooms are singles. The others are designed in suites of two or three rooms to provide each student with the privacy of his own quarters and, at the same time, close companionship with a fellow student. The eight dorm suites house five private rooms. Students living in these dorms are responsible for all cleaning in their rooms, athroom, and common room. The direcr of residential life helps students arrange live with others who share similar opinons about smoking, music, and so on in a ormitory area. Students in Santa Fe find it effective to rk out problems and ideas on an individbasis with the administration and faculas well as through the machinery of a mal student government, since both the e of the college and the form of the pro- STUDENT LIFE} 43 gram are conducive to informal and direct communication. There are permanent student representatives to the Financial Aid Committee, Campus Planning Committee, and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees, which concern themselves with such things as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the artistic, the academic, and the athletic. Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet, and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine Arts Building, the darkroom, and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The college's art gallery, which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists monthly. A student art show is scheduled each year, and awards are given for achievement in pottery, photography, drawing, painting, and making jewelry. The Moon, a student newspaper, provides students in Santa Fe with a medium through which to express their views about both the college and the world at large. Grout, a literary magazine, contains essays, art work, poetry, short stories, and photography from students and faculty alike. �44 {ST. JOHN'S Musical performances of many kinds are given by students through the Collegium Musicum. Formed to stimulate musical activity on campus, the association provides members of the college community with an opportunity to perform before small, receptive audiences. Through this organization, students and faculty who play instruments or who sing can find teachers and fellow musicians with whom to study or perform. The St. John's Chorus and the small chorus also give recitals. The college provides numerous keyboard instruments, including two grand pianos and a harpsichord, for student practice and performance. Practice rooms are available in the Fine Arts Building. The St. John's Film Society is organized by students to provide a wide variety of classic and current films for the college community every Saturday night. Many students are attracted to the town of Santa Fe by its crafts, music, theater, and visual arts. Santa Fe is the third largest art market in the U.S. with more than 250 art galleries and art dealers. Others have participated in tutoring in elementary schools, counseling, working on local church restoration, or other local activities. City buses stop every half hour near the campus, providing economical transportation to town. Most students come to St. John's with definite interests outside the scope of the program and pursue these interests in extracurricular classes and discussion groups, both on and off campus. Informal discussions of contemporary literature, forums on public concerns, and slide shows on art history are frequent on-campus activities, as are study groups in such languages as Latin, German, Spanish, and Hebrew. Thorne Fellowships give eligible students support toward fulfillment of medical school prerequisites during summer months, during a leave from the college, or after graduation. COLLEGE} AE in Annapolis, waltz parties, rock ties, and such regular events as the O berfest (in the mountains surrounding college), the Halloween Costume Party, Fasching Ball, the Graduation Ball, Reality Weekend provide occasions informal gatherings of tutors and stud Reality Weekend includes a talent show, picnic, and athletic competition. ATHLETICS Like Annapolis, the Santa Fe camp encourages all students to participate amateur intramural athletics, regardless their athletic skills. The new athletic c has a full-sized basketball court, two quetball/squash courts, a well-equip weight room, men and women's lo rooms, and a large outdoor equip room. The student outdoor progr office, the director's office, and a small door resource library are also located at new center. The college offers students, fac staff, and alumni a variety of sports outdoor recreational opportunities. dent interest usually determines w sports and outdoor programs are o There are organized tournaments for ketball, volleyball, badminton, table nis, racquetball, squash, indoor and door soccer, and fencing.

Students can join the St. John's College Search and Rescue Team and learn backcountry skills such as map and compass navigation, G.P.A. navigation, wilderness medicine, and technical evacuation. The Search and Rescue Team works under the auspices of the New Mexico state police and averages thirty missions a year. The athletic and outdoor program office provides students free use of sports and outdoor equipment; sleeping bags, tents, fly-fishing equipment, mountain bikes, downhill and cross-country skis and snowshoes are just a few of the items available for check-out. The college does not participate in formal collegiate athletics and there are no athletic scholarships awarded. The emphasis that the college places on the intellectual growth of students and faculty, and the absence of any athletic curriculum should not be mistaken for disdain of athletic endeavors. Despite the rigors of the curriculum, many of our students and faculty find time to play individual or team sports. STUDENT LIFE} 45 BOTH CAMPUSES RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES The Charter of 1784 established St. John's College as a non-denominational institution. In its early years, there were some ties with the Protestant Episcopal Church, but these no longer exist. Many tutors and students attend church or synagogue in town. FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS The college bookstore on each campus has all the books and supplies the students need for their classes. It also maintains a stock of books related to all phases of the program, and books of more general interest. It is operated without profit. Both campuses maintain computer laboratories for student use, providing free access to word processing and Internet services, including e-mail. PC and Macintosh computers are available in the laboratories. AE supports for an active social life, the college provides on each campus a coffee shop and a rooms for the use of all students. In addition, there are smaller, comfortably �46 {ST.

Those who apply want an education that consists of careful reading and consideration of the most demanding books; of serious conversation in which they will learn to consider the thoughts of others as well as their own; and of active participation in their own education. Education at St. John's is a common pursuit. Each student has a considerable effect on the life and learning of the community. Most who consider St. John's examine themselves carefully before applying so that when they do, they are saying to themselves and to the college that they want to engage fully in the life of reason and they believe they can take pleasure in it. In wTittheir application essays, many determine their own appropriateness as St. John's students; others eliminate themselves as applicants, deciding that their interests and those of the college do not coincide. Thus, for the most part, they select themselves. Some are rejected, of course, but a wide variety of students is accepted each year. The purpose of the admission process is to determine whether an applicant has the necessary preparation and ability to complete the St. John's prngram satisfactorily. The Admissions Committee - five tutors and the Director of Admissions on each campus - regards the application as being a question from the applicant: '"Do you think I am ready to profit from the program of studies at SL John's?" In the essays, applicants are asked to discuss their prev10us education, their reasons for choosing St. John's, and their experience with books. A number of optional topics are suggested. The essays are designed to enable applicants to give a 51 full account of themselves. They can tell the committee much more than statistical records reveal. Next the committee considers the applicant's academic achievement and promise. Previous academic records - the secondary school report and college if there is one - show whether an applicant has the habits of study necessary at St. John's. Letters of reference, indications that the has the maturity, self-discipline, ability, energy, and initiative to succeed in the St. John's program" to St. John's attaches little "objective" test scores, and no applicant is accepted or rejected because of such scores The committee's decisions are not influenced by the race, religion, sex, age, color, physical handicaps, sexual orientation or national or ethnic origin of an or any other factors muelated to the work of the college. The asks a minimum of personal data. Need for financial assistance does not affect the committee's decisions on ailinission. St. John's has decided to remain a small in which the students and faculty are known to each other. Each campus serves about 450 undergraduates. The size of each class is limited on each campus, Most freshman classes are about equally divided between men and women. New students are enrolled as freshmen; ro% to r5% of each entering class have done one, two, o:r even three years of college work elsewhere, These students, despite having good records at other colleges, relinquish their advanced standing to take part in the St. John's program. The Santa Fe campus offers January enrollment, Freshmen who enter in January stay on campus the summer to complete the first year. They can thus graduate a year earlier than if they had �- - - - - - - - - - - -. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1 52 {ADMISSION} postponed their entrance until the following fall. The January class is of particular interest to students who come to St. John's from other colleges, who have traveled or worked since graduation from high school, or who wish to enter St. John's immediately after the first semester of their senior year of high school. HOMESCHOOLED STUDENTS Homeschooled applicants must su the results of either the SATr or ACT. 2. They must also submit an outline 0 curriculum they have followed, arran chronological order by convention ject matter, with brief descriptions course content and texts used. I. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION M ································ ··········································· ost applicants have a strong background in academic subjects. Specific academic requirements in-elude two rears of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a foreign language; additional work in mathematics and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. In addition to the application essays and secondary school report, each applicant must present transcripts of any college work and two letters of reference, including one from a teacher. In exceptional cases, certain of these requirements may be waived, or additional information may be requested. SAT or ACT test scores are not normally required, but may prove helpful. Occasionally, St. John's accepts an applicant who is not a secondary school graduate. Such students must be well qualified to profit from the college program and must either submit the results of a nationally recognized test (SAT, ACT, or PSAT) or a GED certificate. A campus visit and interview are especially important in such cases. St. John's admits as regular students only those who: r) have a high school diploma, or 2) have a GED or the equivalent, or 3) are beyond the age of compulsory education in Maryland. St. John's is authorized under federal fa enroll foreign students. In order to be sidered for admission, international dents must have followed a pre-uni course of study and must submit the fo ing documents: I. A completed St. John's application accompanied by the required essays. 2. Two letters of reference, at least one which must be from a teacher of an ac mic subject. 3.

John's College is one college located on two campuses. Although applications must be initiated and completed at one campus or the other, admission to either campus constitutes admission to the college as a whole. On inquiry, prospective students receive a statement of the St. John's College program, an application for admission and recommendation forms to be completed by schools and references. Applications may be submitted as early as the second semester of the eleventh grade. Because the college welcomes all serious applicants, there is no application fee. Students should submit their application materials to the Admissions Office on the campus they prefer to attend. Students planning to apply for financial aid should refer to the section on Fees and Financial Aid and notify the appropriate Admissions Office of their intentions as soon as possible. St. John's is committed to maintaining its low student/faculty ratio (8 tor). In order to meet this commitment, the number of students in each freshman class is carefully controlled. Candidates for admission are advised that applicants who meet the suggested deadlines (see below) are in a better position to secure places in the entering classes and early consideration for financial assistance than those who apply later. TEST CODE NUMBERS St. John's College's test code numbers for: the College Entrance Examination Boa:rqi (SAT and TOEFL) are: Annapolis= 5598; Santa Fe = 4737. The American Colleg;e Test (ACT) numbers are: Annapolis = r7324, Santa Fe = 2649 . Applications for fall classes should be filed as early as possible and preferably no later than March r; candidates wishing to enroll in January should apply no later than December r5. Applications are processed on a rolling basis. As soon as the application essays and supporting documents are received, the application is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. The applicant is notified of the committee's decision in COLLEGE} 53 about two weeks. Accepted students have the option to enroll on either campus. Late applications for both fall and January classes will be considered, but applicants are advised that the earlier their files are completed, the greater their chances of securing positions in the entering class on the campus of their choice. DEPOSITS Upon notification of acceptance, applicants have the option to enroll on either campus. In order to secure a place in the entering class, approved applicants must submit a deposit of $300 to the Admissions Office on the campus at which their applications were processed, together with a statement specifying the campus they wish to attend. Once the deposit has been submitted, the campus preference may not be changed except as noted below. Deposits are nonrefundable, except as noted below, and are applied to first semester tuition and fees. Deposits (and signed financial aid acceptance forms, if appropriate) are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the available positions are filled. Typically, the fall classes fill by the first week of May, so while there is ample time to consider offers of admission from other institutions, the earlier a decision can be reached, the better. January classes usually fill by the end of December. Students who submit deposits before the end of the first week of May (for the fall term) or December 20 (for the January term) have a significantly higher chance of securing positions in the entering classes than those who submit deposits later. If the entering class on the applicant's first-choice campus is full when the deposit is received, the Admissions Office will offer the following options: r) the deposit may be transferred to the other campus, provided space remains in that entering class; 2) the deposit may be used to secure a place on the waiting list or in a subsequent class on �54 {ADMISSION} the applicant's first-choice campus; 3) the deposit may be returned if neither of the first two options is acceptable. FINANCIAL Arn The college endeavors to meet the full demonstrated need of enrolling students requesting financial assistance. Of necessity, however, the amount of financial aid available for each class is limited. It is essential, therefore, that candidates apply for both admission and financial aid early. Applications for financial aid will be processed for approved applicants on a first-come, first-served basis until the available aid is exhausted. Therefore, U.S. citizens and permanent residents requesting financial assistance should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form as early as possible and promptly supply the Financial Aid Office with any additional documentation that may be requested. Non-U.S. citizens requesting financial assistance should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as soon as possible. Students who complete their financial aid applications before February r5 (for fall classes) or September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly higher chance of receiving all the aid for which tlley qualify than those who complete them later. Additional information about applying for financial aid is available on the college web site: www.stjohnscollege.edu. WAITING LIST Once the entering classes are full or the available aid is exhausted, a waiting list will be established in the order in which deposits or completed financial aid files from approved applicants are received. Positions in the entering classes and finan {ST. cial aid will then be offered as they bee available. Every effort will be mad accommodate those on the waiting · allowing them to change their camp erence or to enroll in a subsequent cla~s · noted above. INTERCAMPUS TRANSFER Once enrolled on either campus, any dent in good academic standing may a for transfer to the alternate campus fo upcoming academic year. They must n the Registrar's Office of their intenti transfer by the third Monday in Febru the previous year. Those students who to apply for financial aid must also file new financial aid forms by March r. intercampus transfers must be approved the deans of both campuses and may restricted by limitations in various cam resources, such as available space a staffing.

The college tains a website atwww.stjohnscollege.e JOHN'S CAMPUS VISIT I t is best for those who are considering attending St. John's to see the college for themselves. It is probably wise to get first-hand advance knowledge of any college one may be thinking of attending, but it is especially wise in the case of St. John's because of its unique curriculum and teaching methods. While on campus the visitor may attend a seminar on Monday or Thursday evening at 8 P.M.; attend tutorials in mathematics, language, and music; visit a laboratory; be interviewed by the Director of Admissions, a member of the admissions staff, or a tutor; attend the weekly formal lecture (Friday night); talk informally with St. John's students and tutors; visit the library and bookstore; explore the historic town of Annapolis or Santa Fe; attend a movie, play, art exhibit, or concert; or watch students participating in the sports program. Since the seminar, the most important part of the program, meets on Monday and Thursday evenings, student visitors are normally on campus from Monday to Tuesday or from Thursday to Friday. If travel arrangements make these time periods impossible, the visitor may telephone the Admissions Office for special help. The calendar in the front of the catalog should be checked to make certain the college will be in session during the time of the visit. Those planning to visit should telephone (r-800-727-9238 for Annapolis or I-800-33r-5232 for Santa Fe) or write the Admissions Office giving the dates (and alternates) they have selected. It is also necessary for the Admissions Office to know the approximate time of arrival. When the reservation is confirmed by telephone or letter, the visitor will be told the seminar reading. If it is necessary to cancel the visit, the Admissions Office should be notified as soon as possible. The only expense for visitors is trans- COLLEGE} 55 portation. They will be provided a room in a dormitory and meals in the dining hall without charge. St. John's students dress informally for tutorials, but more formally for seminar and formal lecture. The seminar readings usually can be located in inexpensive paperback editions in the college bookstore if a visitor has been unable to locate a copy of the book being discussed in seminar. Linens are provided by the college. Visitors arriving weekdays between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. should go to the Admissions Office. On weekends and any day after 5 P.M., visitors should go to the college receptionist. The receptionist is at the switchboard in Pinkney Hall at Annapolis and in Peterson Student Center at Santa Fe. TRANSPORTATION Baltimore-Washington International Airport is located twenty miles from Annapolis. An airport limousine goes to and from Annapolis; visitors are advised to check schedules in advance. Bus service from the airport is not practical. Hourly buses run between Baltimore and Annapolis, and the driver will let visitors off near the campus if asked. Buses from Washington are less frequent and let passengers off on West Street, about six blocks from the college. By car, take Route 50 from Washington; from Baltimore take Route 2 or l-97. Albuquerque International Airport is located sixty miles from the Santa Fe campus. A shuttle service from the airport to Santa Fe is available. Call the Admissions Office for information. Greyhound and Continental bus lines pass through Santa Fe. Amtrak stops at Lamy, N.M., twenty miles from Santa Fe, and taxi service is available to town (reservations should be made with the taxi service one day in advance). Upon arrival at the bus station or at one of the Santa Fe hotels, the easiest way to get to the campus is by taxi. 'i 'I �56 {FEES & FINANCIAL PROCEDURES AND DEADLINES T he college believes that qualified applicants should not be denied the opportunity to attend St. John's College because of limited finances. St. John's therefore maintains a financial aid program to assist eligible students to the greatest extent possible within the limits of the college's resources. Financial aid awards are made solely on the basis of need. A. The following principles underlie St. John's financial aid program: r. The primary responsibility for financing a college education lies with the student and the student's parents. The college can offer aid only to supplement funds the family provides. 2. The ability of a family to meet college expenses is determined by assessing the family's financial strength in terms of income, assets, debts, and number of family members in college. 3. Financial aid may be in the form of a grant, loan, or part-time employment, and will be offered to all students as a package that combines one or more forms of aid. 4. In keeping with the philosophy that students should contribute to their educational expenses, self-help is the first component of a financial aid award. At St. John's, self-help consists of a part-time job and an educational loan. 5. Financial aid is not automatically renewable; rather, students reapply each year they wish to be considered for aid. 6. Students receiving financial aid must meet the criteria for maintaining satisfactory progress in order to retain their award (see page 63). {ST. Arn} 7. Financial aid awards are mad accordance with the provisions of IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Title IX of the Higher Education 1980, which prohibit discriminatio the basis of race, color, sex, phys· handicap, age, marital status, creed ethnic or national origin. B. The procedure for U.S. citizens and manent residents applying for fin aid is as follows: r. Applicants must file the current Application for Federal Student (FAFSA). In addition, St. Joh requires students seeking institutio grant aid to file the College Scholars Service's Financial Aid PROFILE fo These forms may be obtained from ondary schools. the Financial Office at St. John's, or online www.fafsa.ed.gov or www.profile line.collegeboard.com. To have analysis of your forms sent to St. Jo be sure to use the correct code n bers. PROFILE: Annapolis=5598; S Fe=4737. FAFSA: Annapolis=oo209 Santa Fe=oo2093. 2. As part of the application for fin cial aid, parents and students must vide copies of their most recent Fede Income Tax Return and W-2 forms. 3. Self-supporting students are require to meet the federal definition of i pendence and must comply with fed verification requirements. Indepe dent students must submit paren information in order to be conside for institutional assistance. Fin aid packages for self-supporting s dents are generally not adequate cover the full need of such applican because of funding limitations in bo federal and institutional programs, 4. Recipients of federally funded f cial assistance must not be in default JOHN'S any federal loans received at any institution and must not owe any refunds to the federal programs. 5. Students applying for and receiving financial aid from St. John's are required to notify the Financial Aid Office of any scholarships, loans, grants, gifts, employment or other financial benefits for which they become eligible; any change in their or their family's financial situation; and changes of name, marital status, and address. C. Non-U.S. citizens applying for financial aid should note the following: r. Financial aid for foreign students is lim- ited and competition for it is strong. For non-U.S. citizens, the maximum institutional assistance available is 653 of current tuition, room, and board. In addition to need-based loans and grants, foreign students are eligible for jobs on campus. They are also eligible to apply for summer employment at St. John's, but the availability of jobs cannot be guaranteed. 2. Non-U.S. citizens should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as early as possible, preferably no later than February 15. This form may be obtained from secondary school counseling offices or from the St. John's Admissions Office. No requests for financial assistance will be considered and no offers offinancial aid will be made until after a student has been admitted to the college. D. Following are the deadlines and notification dates for financial aid: Although the college has no deadline for receipt of financial aid applications, candidates for admission who are in need of financial assistance should indicate that FRESHMAN CANDIDATES: COLLEGE} 57 need as soon as possible. The FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's PROFILE form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Applicants should note also that the earlier their aid application is received, the better the chance that their financial need can be fully met. Candidates for admission applying for financial aid after February 15 (for fall classes) or after September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly lower chance of receiving all the funds for which they are eligible than those applying earlier. RETirn:NlNG STUDENTS: Applications are due by March l from enrolled students who are returning to the college and reapplying for financial aid or are applying for financial aid for the first time. Both the FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Students whose financial aid credentials are received by the Financial Aid Office prior to the March l deadline will be notified of the decision on their application by April l. Students whose applications for financial aid are received after the deadline will not be denied consideration for assistance, but the availability of funds cannot be guaranteed. E. Funds for financial aid awards from the college are available from the sources listed below. ST. JOHN'S GRANTS: Funds for St. John's grants are provided by the college from its own resources. St. John's grants do not need to be repaid. FEDERAL PELL GRANT: This federal program is designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend a post-secondary institution. Pell Grants are intended to be the first form of assistance in a financial aid package and may I I �58 {FEES & FINANCIAL be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet a student's demonstrated financial need. Eligibility for the Pell Grant and the amount awarded are determined on the basis of the financial resources of the applicant and the applicant's family. No repayment ofthis grant is required. FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT: The college awards SEOG's to incoming freshmen and enrolled students each year. The grants are awarded to students who demonstrate substantial need with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Eligibility for the SEOG is limited to a maximum of $4,000 per year and depends on availability of federal funding. FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAMS: This federal program permits the college to give part-time employment to students who need such earnings to pursue their course of study. Students maywork only a limited number of hours per week while enrolled and while classes are in session. FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN: These loans are made by the college directly to students using funds provided by the federal government. Perkins Loans are made available to students with high financial need. The maximum loan is $4,000 for each year of undergraduate study. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the college. The interest rate during repayment is 5%. There is a provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. FEDERAL SUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOAN: The Federal Stafford Loan program enables a student to borrow directly from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association, or other participating lender who is willing to make the educational loan.

BILLING AND DEPOSITS B illing for tuition and fees is done prior to each semester. Unless otherwise requested, the college presents its bills directly to the student. The charges are due and payable in full by August r for the first semester and December r for the second semester. Those who may wish to pay in monthly installments should ask the Treasurer's Office about the tuition payment plan available to St. John's College students and parents. Since determinations affecting students, faculty, and physical facilities must be made well in advance of the beginning of each academic year, the college must know in April which returning students will reg- 59 ister in September. A deposit of $500 on the fees for the following year is therefore due on or before the second Monday in April for prospective sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the deposit is not paid, the student may have to be placed on a waiting list; students to whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, academic dismissal or (in the case of prospective juniors) failure to enable. If the student should decide not to enroll in the year for which the deposit was made, the deposit is forfeited, and the student must make a new deposit to secure a place in a subsequent class. �60 {FEES & FINANCIAL {FEES Arn} receive their benefit payments. T arrangements must be made prior to beginning of the academic year, after ing received proper certification from Veterans Administration or the So Security Administration. Students with outstanding debts to college may not register for classes at beginning of the second semester and sequent semesters unless they have appropriate arrangements with t Treasurer's Office. The college charge interest on all unpaid balances, rates and on schedules to be determi and published each year. REFUND POLICY Each student is required to make a deposit of $200, called the Caution Deposit, which is used as a last resort to recover unpaid student bills. This fee is paid once at the beginning of the freshman year. If unused, it is refunded when the student leaves the college. Each graduating senior must pay a Commencement Fee of $rno at the beginning of the second semester of the senior year. Veterans and Social Security recipients qualified to receive educational benefits may arrange with the treasurer for a payment schedule of tuition and fees corresponding to the schedule on which they DETERMINATION OF DATE OF WITHDRAWAL OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL: A student con . ering withdrawal prior to the end of . semester may initiate the withdrawa~· process by notifying the Office of the Reg• istrar. When a student notifies the Re~ trar of an intention to withdraw, the stll:.~1 dent will be given a form entitled "Officw' Notice of Withdrawal." At this point th~ student has officially indicated the intent · to withdraw and the day the Official Notice of Withdrawal Form is obtained will be the date of withdrawal used for the calculation of return of Title N Funds institutional refund.

If a student decides not to withdraw after the discussion with college personnel, the student should notify the Office of the Registrar of that decision. If a student wishes to reverse a decision to withdraw after the Official Notice of Withdrawal has been submitted, the student must provide a written notification. If a student who rescinded an intention to withdraw does not complete the semester, the official date of withdrawal will be the later of the date the withdrawal form was obtained or the last date of class attendance. UNOFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL: If a student does not notify the Registrar of the intention to withdraw, the date of withdrawal used for the calculation of return of Title N Funds and institutional refund will be the midpoint of the semester. A date earlier or later than the midpoint may be used if the college has documentation of the last day the student attended class or handed in an assignment. If a student withdraws because of circumstances beyond the student's control, the college will determine the date of withdrawal. AID} 61 refunded. The same schedule will be used to calculate the cancellation of non-federal financial aid: the "refund amount" percentage provides the percentage of aid to be cancelled and the "amount charged" percentage corresponds to the revised aid the student will receive. For example, a student withdrawing within the first seven days of school would receive IO% of nonfederal aid that had been awarded. B. A student who is expelled or asked to withdraw for academic or disciplinary reasons will receive no refund of tuition, room, and board, or other fees. C. If the college determines that the circumstances leading to withdrawal are beyond the student's control, the student will be charged for tuition, activity fee, room, and board based on the percentage INSTITUTIONAL REFUNDS A. If a student withdraws prior to the end of the semester, a refund of tuition will be made according to the Institutional Refund Schedule. The student's withdrawal date is established as outlined in the initial section of the Refund Policy. The next step in determination of the institutional refund is to count the number of calendar days from the first day of classes to the date of withdrawal (weekends are included but scheduled breaks of at least five days are excluded). The schedule on page 60 is used to determine the percentage of fees (tuition, activity fee, room, and board) which will be of the semester attended (number of days enrolled divided by total number of days in the semester). The same percentage will be applied to institutional aid. Documentation of circumstances leading to the withdrawal may be required; for example, a letter from a physician will be required if a student is unable to complete the semester for medical reasons. �62 RETURN OF TITLE {FEES & FINANCIAL IV FUNDS If a student who has received Title IV Funds (federal financial aid) leaves the institution prior to completion of 60% of the semester, a calculation must be performed to determine the amount of unearned aid that must go back to the Title IV programs. No return of Title IV funds is required after 6o3(approximately g weeks of a r6 week semester). The withdrawal date will be established as described in the above Refund The percentage of Title IV aid which is earned by the student (i.e., the amount of federal aid the student is permitted to keep) is the same as the percentage of the semester completed. This percentage is computed dividing the total number of calendar days in the semester (including week-ends but excluding scheduled breaks of more than five days) into the number of calendar days completed by the student. For example, a student enrolled for r4 of n2 days would have earned r2.5% of Title {ST. Arn} IV aid for the semester. In this ~"''"""·'"'"' 87.5% of the Title IV aid would unearned. The institution is responsible for returning to the federal aid programs lesser of the amount of unearned Title aid or institutional charges that the incurred multiplied by the unearned percentage. Federal regulations specify the order which unearned funds are to be aid programs. The order is: I. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans 2. Subsidized Stafford Loans 3. Perkins Loans 4. Federal Plus Loans 5. Pell Grants 6. SEOG Federal Work-Study funds are not involved in this determination: A student may keep money earned through Federal Work- Study Programo If the total amount of unearned aid exceeds the amount the school is '' 0 ''"'·,-~;i to return, a student may need to return federal grant funds which have been received for off-campus living expenses, up to 50% of the amount received for the semester. Student loans and Plus Loans received for off-campus expenses do not have to be returned at the time of withdrawal but must be repaid in accordance with the terms of the loan. The Financial Aid Officic will notify a student if a return of federal grant funds is Sample cases of refund calculations are available in the Financial Aid Office. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 63 CRITERIA FOR JUDGING SATISFACTORY PROGRESS REGULAR STUDENTS Provisions of the Higher Education Act of require that each post-secondary institution make available information concerning the criteria for judging satisfactory academic progress. The criteria for St. John's College regarding the determination of satisfactory progress for :recipients of federally funded (Title IV) financial assistance are as follows: In order to be making satisfactory progress, at the end of a semester a student must be permitted to enter the next semester and that next semester must not include the repetition of any work. This permission is nonnally granted by the dean in consultation with a committee of all the student's tutors, the "'Don Rag Committee." The Don Rag Committee assesses a student's work in all parts of the program and approves its quality before recommending to the dean that the student be permitted to enter the next semester. This assessment is conducted in the student's presence by all of his or her tutors in common At the end of the s ore year, the dean and the Instruction Committee, with the advice of the tutors, review all of the student's work during the first two years and determine whether or not the student will be allowed to continne. Under some circumstances a student who has not satisfactorily completed a semester's work may be allowed to repeat the work in order to remain at the Students are not eligible for financial assistance (federal or institutional) while they are repeating work. Sometimes students are permitted to enter a new semester with the that they meet special conditions during the course of the semester. In these cases, a student is not repeating work and is deemed to be making satisfactory progress until the dean determines that the conditions have not been met. 'When the conditions have not been met, the dean, in consultation with the Instruction Committee, decides what further determit-iation is to be made of the case. �64 {FEES & FINANCIAL Federal regulations require that an institution set a maximum time frame in which students must complete their educational objectives. St. John's has set eight years as the maximum time frame in which students who are recipients of federal financial aid funds must earn their B.A. degrees. This may be eight years of full- or part-time study. Years in which a student is not enrolled at St. John's will not count in the eight-year limitation. However, years in which a student is repeating work (and thereby not receiving aid) are considered in the determination of years of study. If a student registers for a class in which he or she was previously enrolled for more than three weeks, the class will be considered as repeated work and the student will not be eligible for financial assistance. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the dean in the case of an involuntarywithdrawal due to illness or other mitigating circumstances. Students who are permitted by their Don Rag Committees to enter the next semester with incomplete grades on their records are deemed to be making satisfactory progress and are eligible for financial aid. A student who wishes to appeal a decision regarding academic standing should present a letter of appeal to the Dean of the College. The dean will review the situation, taking into account any special circumstances, and determine whether or not the student is making satisfactory progress. VETERANS/DEPENDENTS In compliance with federal and state regulations, St. John's has developed a set of policies on minimum standards of progress for enrolled veterans or dependents: r. St. John's will report to the Depart- ment of Veterans Affairs (VA) within 30 days all incidents of official termination or change of status that would affect benefits. 2. Arn} The V.A. requires that grades be for all classes undertaken and t grades be considered in compu grade point average. In Annap V.A. enrolled student who with from a class after the midpoin semester will have a WIgrade re indicating the quality of work up date of withdrawal. In Santa Fe, enrolled student who withdraws class after the three-quarter point semester will have an F recorded. credit will be given for withdra grades nor, in accordance with co policy, will they be included in the G 3. Minimum acceptable grades of a C age are expected. If a student falls this average and/or the student's think there is a serious academic lem, the Don Rag Committee will this to the Dean, who may ask the dent to leave the college or may p the student on academic probation possibly stipulate conditions that be met if the student is to continue in college. The normal probationary od is one semester. During that pro tionary period support and counseli are available to the student. 4. St. John's will inform all VA enrolled stu'-'. dents that prior academic credit frotlf post-secondary schools will be evaluatl' ed, but prior credits are not applicable to; the all-required degree program at th1t1• college except in very unusual cirum"· stances. Prior credit will be granted for pursuit of the same four-year, all~, required curriculum at the Annapol~ts · and Santa Fe campuses. The award of prior credit by the college will reduce the training time toward the reward ofa degree and will be reported to the VA as required. {ST.

John's College is a community dedicated to liberal education. Liber educated human beings, the college believes, acquire a lifelong co ment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative oft common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligatio They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they poss the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John's College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the of great books - texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures - because they exp most originally and often most perfectly the ideas by which contemporary li knowingly or unknowingly governed. These books are the most important teac They are both timeless and timely; they illuminate the persisting questions ofh existence, and they bear directly on the problems we face today. Their authors speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they to tell us is not of merely academic concern or remote from our true interests. change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human tions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of· pendent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they pl us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligib · They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or poli treatises, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosop They are also linked together, for each of them is introduced, supported, or criti by the others. In that sense they converse with each other. They draw the reade take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversati This conversation, however, is unavoidably one-sided. The great books can o repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. remedy this defect is the goal of the St. John's seminar. Here a number of stude varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, atte to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing to submit opinions to one another's questions. The demands of the individual and those of group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion m with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. On the o hand, it may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary ques · that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumpti {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 7 ey have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discuson they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameess of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things e - to help the students make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they ce. And it is the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of thought and discuson thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational ethods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. AB much as possible, the tual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and 'tiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the dents and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education. The primafunction of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the rms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they come means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in num: grammar, rhetoric, logic - the arts of language; and arithmetic, geometry, sic, and astronomy - the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the beral arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all · ds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measurg, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of hem: discussion, translation, writing, experiment, mathematical demonstration, d musical analysis. Whatever methods are used, they all serve the same end: to 'te the students to think freely for themselves. By these means, students will be e to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills · serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over e centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indissable. They enable men and women to win knowledge of the world around them d knowledge of themselves in this world and to use that knowledge with wisdom. nder their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the wantonness of rejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and men can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal ts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. �8 {THE CURRICULUM} THE SEMINAR T he heart of the curriculum is the seminar - a discussion of assigned readings from the boo~s of the program. In each semmar seventeen to twentyone students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, for two hours - or sometimes longer if the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around eighty pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. The seminar begins with a question asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists mostly of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not just to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at will. The resulting informality is tempered by the use of formal modes of address. Once underway, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and aggression and to bring to the surface the students' opinions and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity's ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading, but bearing only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the coffee shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of mon courtesy, there are only two r first, all opinions must be heard explored, however sharplytheymayc second, every opinion must be sup by argument - an unsupported op does not count. In a freshman se the students may tend to express opinions with little regard fort relevance to the question or their re to the opinions of others. Gradual their interplay with one another students learn to proceed with care, ing to the topic and trying to un the meanings of the terms they They learn, gradually also, that to extent the procedure of the seminar with the kind of reading under st poetry is not philosophy, and it require a different approach. S progress in learning together ma crowned by sudden insights on the p a few of the seminar members, or by sions when the seminar as a wh achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cann fixed in advance; it is determined by the necessity of "following the ment," of facing the crucial issues, seeking foundations upon which a tr · reasoning can be pursued. The argu does not necessarily lead to the ans a question. More often than not the q tion remains open with certain alte rives clearly outlined. The progress of seminar is not particularly smooth; discussion may sometimes branch off entangle itself in irrelevant difficul · Only gradually can the logical rigor of argument emerge within the sequence analogies and other imaginative de ' by which the discussion is kept alive, seminar may also degenerate into rath empty talk, without being able for s time to extricate itself from such a co At its best, the seminar may reach insi far beyond the initial views held by any its members. {ST. JOHN'S Under these circumstances, the primarole of the leaders is not to give inforation, nor is it to produce the "right" 'nion or interpretation. It is to guide e discussion, to keep it moving, to raise jections and to help the students in ery way possible to understand the thor, the issues, and themselves. The st useful instrument for this purpose is question; perhaps the most useful ·ce of all is the question "Why?" But e leaders may also take a definite and itive stand and enter directly into the ment. If they do so, however, they can ect no special consideration. Reason is only recognized authority. Consequentall opinions must be defended with rean, and any single opinion can prevail y by general consent. The aim is always COLLEGE} 9 to develop the students' powers of reason and understanding, and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, sophomore, and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes the major part of the process called enabling (see page 3r). �10 {THE CURRICULUM} THE PRECEPTORIAL ·or about seven to eight weeks in the middle of the year the seminars of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually a choice of to on books or subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offeT them. Students may suggest a and invite a tutor to study it with them. many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the program, some may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more Guided by a tutor, at a pace more than that permitted the semithe students' work is completed by the wTiting of papers, which may be read in draft to the and other members. Listed below are some of the pn~ce·otc\, al subjects offered on the two ~~'""u"c' recent years. {ST. JOHN'S seminar cannot suffice as only setting for liberal eduBy its very nature, the does not give the stuan opportunity to cultiate the habits of methodical and careful and of persistently precise discusand vVTiting. Other learning devices :must therefore support it; these are the 'tutorials in language, mathematics, and music, For each of four years, a student ends one language and one mathemats tutorial three times a week. Sophoalso attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, around a table, about thirteen to sixteen students study and iearn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstra-tion, of an important work Ai; in the semfaar, students talk freely with one another with the tutor, but the discussion "'"'Ancoc sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and insight to their fellows, Other tutors often attend, seeking to learn about a particular 'subject that they may later teach. Writing assignments are normally in all classes: mathematics, music, laboratory sections, as well as in lantutorials. The students are thus upon continually to articulate and their thinking in both the writand spoken forms, :Sn,ecializaticm in higher education has led profound neglect oflanguage skills. As is separated from country the 11 COLLEGE} means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and of terms; to the role analogies and images; and to the logical relations that connect The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years, and French in the third and fourth years) an effective means to these ends, By studying these languages, by from them into English, comparing them with each other and with English, the students learn of the nature of lanancl of theiJ: own in particulaL During the four years, then, study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of and as the medium of the art di:rectly and through the interof their own language. They discover the resources of articulate and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent and effective - if it is to and e11HJJr1a,01s is on iiHUHaLlCaJ COn- structions, and the guage being studied, Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the trend and of the central idea, is and corrected by a more one that is details and shades of and with the abstract logical structme and rhetorical pattern of a work. Those are matters that do �12 {THE CURRICULUM} not come directly into seminar discussions. The students' concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign language, but the students can reasonably expect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they study. To experience the individuality of ano language is to extend the boundar' one's sensibility. The choice of foreign languages · part dictated by the seminar rea schedule and is in part arbitrary. and German might be used wit changing the pattern and aims of the rial. The first year of Greek, how goes well with the freshman seminar mathematics tutorial, and the con ance of Greek into the second advances the work of the first. The se year ends with analysis and discussi works by Shakespeare, Donne, and English poets. The French of the third year be with a brief, intensive study of Fr grammar followed by the reading French text. The aim here is econo progress toward facility in the rea · simple French. Students already flu French may be exempted from these stages. Then follows examination of form and content of French prose se tions. Discussions of both form and tent are related to appropriate wri assignments, including exercises in lation in which the students attem match in their own tongue the excell of their models. In the second semest play is read - Racine's Phedre. The principal activity of the fourth is the reading of French prose and including a number of poems Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal. Its imm object is the understanding and enj of each poem in its parts and as aw also provides a substantial basis for sion of the art of poetry and clarifica the relation of that art to the traditi eral arts of language. Writing assi include exercises in translation more tious than those attempted in the t year. The year ends with analysis and cussion of modern British and Am poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Dylan Tho W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. {ST. JOHN'S thematics is a vital part of education; t this is true or ought to be is suggested the word itself, for it is derived from a eek word meaning "to learn." It is rettable, then, that students should e to dislike mathematics or to think of mselves as unmathematical. It is equalregrettable that competent mathematis are often unaware of the philosophiassumptions upon which mathematical ations and formulas are based. Mathetics at St. John's is studied as a liberal , not artificially separated from what e come to be called the humanities. en mathematics is taught at an unhurd pace, in an atmosphere of reflective · , and from treatises chosen not only their matter but also for their gance and imagination, as it is at John's, mathematics becomes not only most readily learnable liberal art but one that provides ready access to oths and significant analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studyg mathematics. First, it pervades our odern world, perhaps even defines it. erefore anyone who means to criticize reform, to resist or cooperate with this rld, not only must have some familiariwith the mathematical methods by ·ch it is managed, but also must have ought about the assumptions that derlie their application. It is the task of mathematics tutorial and the laboratogether to help students to think t what it means to count and measure ngs in the universe. The second main reason for studying thematics concerns the mathematics rial more specifically. Since mathe:tics has, as its name implies, a particuly close connection with the human acity for learning, its study is especialuseful in helping students to think out what it means to come to know ething. COLLEGE} 13 To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? What is the relation of logic to mathematics? What do "better" and "worse," "ugly" and "beautiful" signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are there "mathematical objects"? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid's organization of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects - its central expression found in the theory of ratios - which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy's Almagest, centering their attention on the problem of "hypotheses" constructed to "save the appearances" in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between �74 {THE CURRICULUM} the mathematics tutorial at St. John's and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: His work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study Copernicus' transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into heliocentric form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an understanding of algebra as the "analytic art" in general. In the third year, calculus is studied both analytically in its modern form and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. In the second semester, students take up Newton's treatment of astronomy in the Principia, in which he brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomy with a "dynamic" theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The year concludes with an examination of Dedekind's theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski's approach to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postu- {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 15 lates of geometry, as well as on the of the geometric art as a whole. S also study Einstein's special theory ativity, which challenges our conven understanding of the nature of time space. THE Music TUTORIAL One of the aims of the St. John's pro has been to restore music as a liberal the curriculum. The study of mus St. John's is not directed toward mance, but toward an understandin phenomena of music. The ancients ac ed music a place among the liberal because they understood it as one o essential functions of the mind, ass with the mind's power to grasp numb measure. The liberal art of musi based, for them, on the ratios among numbers. In particular, the music progra St. John's aims at the understandi music through close study of musical ry and analysis of works of musical ture. In the freshman year, students once a week to study the fundament melody and its notation. Demons takes place primarily by singing, and second semester the students pe some of the great choral works. I sophomore year, a tutorial meets times a week. Besides continui singing, the music tutorial reflects ferent but complementary aspe music. On the one hand, music is in · ly related to language, rhetoric, and:\> On the other, it is a unique and self. cient art, which has its roots de nature. The work of the tutorial inclu investigation of rhythm in words as in notes, a thorough investigation diatonic system, a study of the ra musical intervals, and a conside melody, counterpoint, and harmony. of these are done apart from the so 'ty of good music. The inventions of h, the songs of Schubert, the masses of trina, the operas of Mozart, and the umental works of Beethoven are the textbooks. In the second semester, at tone major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are luded as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. �76 {THE CURRICULUM} THE LABORATORY T ree hundred years ago, algera and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by Rene Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, politics, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the St. John's program and one that the college takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last two years of the program exhibit the far-reaching changes that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period from Homer to Descartes. Modern mathematics has made possible the exploration of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast project of study conceived by the great thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. Liberal learning is concerned with the artifices of the human mind and hand that help us to relate our experiences to our understanding. For this purpose, St. John's has set up a three-year laboratory in the natural sciences, wherein characteristic and related topics of physics, biology, and chemistry are pursued. There is the art of measurement, which involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measurement; crucial experiments are reproduced; the interplay of hypothesis, theory, and fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is sup- {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 77 ported by the mathematics tuto which provide the necessary unde ing of mathematical techniques. The task, however, is not to c exhaustively the various scientific plines, to bring the student up to them, or to engage in specialized res It is rather to make the student exp and understand the significance of as a human enterprise involving mental assumptions and a variety of The college does not subscribe sharp separation of scientific studi the humanities, as iftheywere distin autonomous domains of learning. need not be "two ''cultures." Dif fields of exploration require dif methods and techniques, but the in of scientific pursuits stems from so common to all intellectual life. THE ORGANIZATION OF THE WORAT WORK The laboratory program is largely mined by three considerations rele the liberalization of the study of scie The formally scheduled experiment must be combined with a full and cussion of the instruments and p · involved in it.

(3) The schedule ofla rywork should give opportunity for ly but intensive experimentation. dents must have time to satisfy the as to the degree of accuracy their i ments permit, to analyze procedur sources of error, to consider alter methods, and on occasion to re entire experiment. Only thus ca come to a mature understanding of ences called "exact." A laboratory section consists of fourn to sixteen students working under guidance of a tutor, with the help of e advanced students serving as assiss. Sections meet two or three times a k. A laboratory session may be used exposition and discussion of theory, experimentation, or for both, as the gress of the work requires. In most s, the basis for discussion is a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Harvey, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. �{THE 18 CURRICULUM} WORATORY TOPICS THE FIRST YEAR The general topics of study have bee~ ch~­ sen from elementary physical and b10logrcal sciences. The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: The laboratory begins with twelve w devoted to topics in observational b" gy: classification of types, anatom structure, cells and their aggregation differentiation, and embryological de opment. Close observation by the n eye or with microscopes is accomp by constant theoretical interpret based on reading important works of logical scientists. Here the student fronts organisms as self-moving enti with properties of wholeness, intim dependent on, yet distinct from, the rounding world.

The student compares the views Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of bstance and substantial change, and es on to study and discuss important iginal texts bearing on the development the atomic-molecular theory. Experients are performed to help with the derstanding of the texts and the ysical and chemical transformation of "ch they speak. The year's work culmites in the resolution of the problem of termining atomic weights and in an ination of some consequences of this e third-year laboratory deals with topcommon to a number of the traditional "sions of physics, such as mechanics, tics, and electromagnetism. Throught the year, experimentation is accompaby the reading of important original · 'ngs by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, on, Leibniz, Carnot, and Maxwell. e mathematical tools of physics are to put to work in the laboratory at the e time that their rigorous developt is pursued in the mathematics tutos. As the tools of the calculus become ailable, the emphasis shifts from a ct, qualitative description of force, leration, work, energy, and potential s to their reformulation in terms of ·vative and integral; at the same time, physical concepts serve to illustrate mathematical ideas. The concepts of hanics are to be used to formulate rnative theories of light - corpuscular wave - and the success of either theoin accounting for optical phenomena is COLLEGE} 19 examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromagnetic theory of light. THE FOURTH YEAR In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first ten weeks, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism - but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrodinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. The Laboratory program ends as it began - with a study of living organisms. In the spring of the senior year, students finally confront the evidence and arguments for their modern views of evolution and genetics. The semester begins with Darwin and Mendel, proceeds to a synthesis, and then traces developments in cellular and molecular biology which are thought to undergird this synthesis, as presented in seminal papers by 20th century biologists. In addition, this work raises questions about whether there is purpose in nature, whether there are natual kinds, what distinquishes living from nonliving, whether living things have a wholeness, and if so, what is responsible for it. �20 {THE THE FORMAL LECTURE T {ST. JOHN'S CURRICULUM} he curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar readings or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students' readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a disc Here the lecturers submit themse prolonged questioning by the st with the faculty participating. Of discussion turns into a seminar.

The distribution of the books over the four years is More than two thousand years of intellectual history form the background of the first two years; about three hundred years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understanding of the liberal arts; the second year contains books from the Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance the third year has books of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most of w were written in modern languages; fourth year brings the reading into t nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Thomson Bohr Millikan Sehr Odinger Darwin Freud Einstein Heisenberg Watson & Crick Jacob&Monod t St. John's, the teaching members of the faculty are called tutors. The title professor is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying the text that is the principal teacher of the class - it might be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wrote from the high point of their learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful exam. ples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the tutors is to question, to listen and to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration or explanation, but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to help themselves. In order that conversations at St. John's will not be limited to what fits neatly inside a single discipline, it is essential that St. John's tutors re-educate themselves to acquire increased understanding in those parts of the program that are outside their field of post-graduate training. For example, tutors with advanced degrees in mathematics would prepare ORDER} 27 themselves to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage of this for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not parry their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. There are no departments! The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John's program. This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a sirlgle part of the program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and they are continually teaching their colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John's than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up. Leaders of such groups are sometimes relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by themselves or the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John's curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John's. �28 {THE ACADEMIC T THE LIBRARY T he books chosen for study at St. John's are collected in the best editions and translations that can be obtained. These works form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes serving as secondary sources and representative works in the major fields of learning. Holdings are most extensive in philosophy, literature, and the history of science. The library also provides newspapers and periodicals, audio-visual materials, multiple copies of some seminar readings, and other smaller collections. A faculty committee assists the librarians with collection development. The Greenfield Library in Annapolis houses a collection of approximately I23,ooo volumes, in addition to pamphlet collections, rare books, and lectures available in both audio and print. The current library structure was renovated in Ig96, and occupies the old historic building formerly known as the Maryland Hall of JOHN'S alumni publications collection and the Holtzman Music Collection. THE INSTRUCTION COMMITTEE he Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the presidents on appointments to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and twelve tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year. The full committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those annual meetings. {ST. ORDER} SCHEDULES r Records on campus. The library's catal is available online, as are library databas and other electronic resources. Intern access is provided via the public ter nals.

Annapolis has retained seve of the original books from the Br Collection, dating from I696 and kno as the "first public library in America." also possesses the Prettyman Collection Signed and Inscribed Books, some 8 titles of first editions signed by t authors. The Witter Bynner Collecti and the Edgar Allen Poe Collection Santa Fe contain first editions of each as well as other belles lettres. In ad the Santa Fe library contains a facul haps the most distinctive ark of St. John's College is the ct that all the students of the ame year are reading the same ooks at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid's Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles' timer- 29 COLLEGE} al oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods oflaboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-and- one-half hours to fourand-one-half hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six hours each week in the laboratory. Two evenings, from eight to ten, all students attend a seminar. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to nineteen hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of sixteen weeks each.

These essays are based directly upon books in the program. ORAL ExAMINATIONS Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are held. These are conducted by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of their study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of their classes. For freshmen, the first oral examination of the year is given before the winter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin. {ST. ORDER} JOHN'S THE ALGEBRA ExAMINATION ACADEMIC STANDING Before the second semester of their sop more year, students must pass an ex tion in elementary algebra and trigono try. Review sessions are offered. ecause St. John's classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students' progress from day to day. The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student's total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of ability and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John's is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for grades. Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John's, attendance at all regularly scheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. THE FINAL EssAY AND ORAL EXAMINATION In the senior year, the student is require present to the faculty a final essay relate some aspect of the four years' work. It is intended to be a piece of speciali research, but rather a sustained per£ mance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at start of the second semester are rese for essay writing; during this period seniors attend no classes. If the final is approved by the faculty committee which it has been assigned for reading, student is examined about it by the co mittee in an hour-long public examinatio No degree is awarded unless both the and the oral examination are satisfacto The senior essay is regarded as a culmina~ tion of the student's learning. B COLLEGE} 31 time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student's work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. LETTER GRADES Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on request. The tutor's comprehensive judgment of a student is reported to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, Dor F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has stopped, the student is asked to leave the college. SOPHOMORE ENABLING Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a semester, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors meet with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students' work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors' reports and comment on their own work. Advice may be requested and given; difficulties may be aired; but grades are not reported or discussed. In the junior year, conferences replace some of the don rags. In conferences, students report on their own work, and then the tutors comment on that report. By the Sophomore enabling is a review by the Instruction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of sophomores, of the student's learning during the two years spent in the college. The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling procedure. Consequently, no students are enabled to enter the junior class unless they have written a satisfactory essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are sufficiently prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student writing an acceptable senior essay. �32 {THE ACADEMIC THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS T he student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfactorily is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, but they spend their first summer in completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John's seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately one hundred thirty-four semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN'S I n a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John's alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John's graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 2I.93 are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • 18.83 are in communications or the arts; • 17.33 are in business or business-related occupations; {ST. ORDER} • 9.73 work in the field oflaw, with m in private practice or the judiciary; • 9-43 work in computers/sciences/m ematics; • 6.93 work in the health professio mainly as physicians; • 6.63 work in social services, inclu · counseling, psychology, social work, the ministry. • 9-43 choose other fields, includi urban planning, skilled craftsmans foreign service/Peace Corps, gove ment service, veterinary medici homemaking, farming, armed fore and conservation/ecology. More than 753 of St. John's gradua; pursue formal education beyond the calaureate level, with close to 303 of ea graduating class pursuing advanced studi at leading universities across the coun St. John's students consistently score s stantially above the national averages on Graduate Record Examination (GRE) an the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Most fields of study may be enter directly from St. John's. Some of the mo highly technical fields may require addi tional preparation, either prior to or duti ing the first year of graduate study. St. John's has developed special progr and relationships with specific gradu and professional schools to help entry in fields such as medicine, business, engi" neering, and teaching. THE ST. JottN's DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS Tutors who have completed two years teaching at St. John's may receive a ter's degree in liberal arts. They m petition the Instruction Committee fi permission to present themselves as c didates for the degree. They must th submit a thesis on a topic approved by Instruction Committee and stand for oral examination upon it. The topic have some bearing on the understan and practice of the liberal arts. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 33 THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION T .,.........................................................,. ........................................................ he Graduate Institute at St. John's College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, modeled on that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS T he aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts degree (thirty-six semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely integrated program of study. Classes are small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which fourteen to twentyone students engage in a discussion initiated by a tutor's question about the assigned reading. In the tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students (twelve to sixteen) focuses more intensively on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and spring terms, and usually four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master's essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately sixty to ninety students have been enrolled on each campus during each session. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools. �35 34 DEGREE OF MASTER OF .,ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS ...........................................................,.......................................................

Its course of study consists of thirty-four semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Santa Fe campus. The program includes a series of semiars, preceptorials, and a language tutoriin either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. n the seminar, fourteen to twenty-one dents discuss assigned readings from a de range oflndian, Chinese, and Japane texts. In the tutorial, twelve to fifteen dents study either Sanskrit or classical hinese. The goal is not mastery, but ather sufficient familiarity with the eleen ts of the languages to gain some sight into their structure and to trans- late selected short passages from classical texts. In the preceptorial, eight to twelve students study a single work or theme for an eight-week period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged. �37 36 THE EASTERN CLASSICS CURRICULUM FALL SEMESTER SPRING SEMESTER SUMMER SEMESTER CHINESE TUTORIAL CHINESE TUTORIAL _S_E_M_I_N_A_R _ _ _ _ _~ _ Pronunciation and grammar Confucius: Analects* Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching• T'ang Poetry Mencius: Works* SANSKRIT TUTORIAL Bhagavad-Gita • Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra • The Tale ofthe Heike LotusSutra Sei Shonagon: The Pillow Bo Kenko: Essays in Idleness Dogen: Shobogenzo • Basho: The Narrow Road to th( Deep North Chushingura: The Treasuryof Loyal Retainers SANSKRIT TUTORIAL Gonda, A Concise Elementary Grammar ofthe Sanskrit Language Devanagari script SEMINAR Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching Confucius: Analects, The Great Learning and The Doctrine of theMean Mo Tzu: Basic Writings ofMo Tz,; • Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Mencius: Works• Hsiin Tzu: Writings ofHsun Tzu• Han Fei Tzu: Writings ofHan Pei Tzu* Ssu-ma Ch'ien: Records of the Grand Historian• !Ching Rig Veda Brihad-Aranyaka Upanishad Kena Upanishad Mundaka Upanishad Katha Upanishad Ishvara Krishna: Sankhya Karika Tattva-Kaumudi* Patanjali: Yoga Sutra Jayadeva: Gitagovinda PRECEPT 0 RIAL (examples) Mahabharata (required) !Ching Confucius: Analects Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Lao Tzu: Basic Writings SEMINAR Kalidasa: Shakuntala, Kumarasambhava and Meghaduta Jamini: Mimamsa Sutra • Kumarila Bhatta: Slokavartika Katha Upanishad Institutes ofManu Kautilya: Artha-Shastra KamaSutra• Mahabharata Bhagavad-Gita Abhinavagupta: Dhvanyaloka* Jayarasi Bhatta: Tattvopaplavasimha • Asvaghosa: Buddhacarita Majjhima Nikaya • Vimalakirti Sutra • Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra Chandrakirti: Prasannapada Lankavatara Sutra * Guadapada: The GreatKarika on the Mandukya Upanishad Shankara: Commentary on the Vedanta Sutras T'ao Ch'ien: Record ofthe Peach Blossom Fountainhead Chinese Poetry* Diamond Sutra HeartSutra Hui-Neng: Platform Sutra ofthe Sixth Patriarch Chu Hsi: Chu Tzu ch 'uan-shu, and Chu Tzu wen-chi PRECEPT 0 RI AL (examples) Rig Veda Upanishads Ts' ao Hsueh-Shin: Story ofthe Stone Ssu-ma Ch'ien: Records ofthe Grand Historian Neo-Confucian Texts Chinese Vernacular Prose of the Ming Dynasty PRECEPTORIAL Murasaki Shikibu: The Tale of Genji (required) FoR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION To receive a Program Statement containing more detailed information about the Graduate Institute, as well as application ··forms, contact us at either of the following addresses: Graduate Admissions Office St. John's College P.O.

Such activities in Annapolis are sponsored both by the Director of Athletics and by the Senior Resident for student activities. In Santa Fe they are organized by the Student Activities Office (SAO), which is responsible for providing instruction and equipment. THE ANNAPOLIS CAMPUS S ince its founding as King William's School in r696, St. John's has been situated in the colonial seaport town of Annapolis, capital of the State of Maryland. Its population of 40,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the state and of Anne Arundel County; with the training of midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy; with the fish, crab, and oyster industry; and with the sailing and recreational activities of the Chesapeake Bay. The campus of thirty-six acres lies in the historic district, adjoining College Creek, one block from the State House and across the street from the Naval Academy yard. The fifteen buildings include r8th-century historic homes, rgth-century Victorian structures, and 20th and 2rst-century buildings designed to complement the older ones. There are eight student dormitories, offering single, double, and triple rooms. The community of students has governed itself since r945 with elected officers and delegates representing each dormitory and the off-campus constituency. The Student Polity representatives, called the Delegate Council, meet once a week to hear requests from students for funds, to remind students of their responsibilities to the college community, and to express student opinion on common problems. The Delegate Council sT u D E NT L I F E } 39 also meets with college officials to discuss matters of mutual concern and maintains a Student Committee on Instruction, which works with the Faculty Instruction Committee on academic matters. A Food Committee works with the dining hall manager to develop satisfactory dishes for regular and vegetarian menus. The Gadfly, a student newspaper, provides a second medium for expression of opinion to the community as a whole. Controversy ranges from petty to vital; essays, reviews, and news are included. Energeia, the college's student-run literary magazine, is published annually and contains longer and more polished essays, poetry, and fiction. Students are also welcome to contribute to The College, an official publication of St. John's. Extracurricular organizations at St. John's are generally informal. Some continue year after year, while others spring up and die out as the individual members of the community come and go. Many extracurricular activities grow directly out of the curriculum as students' interests overflow from the classroom. The past years have seen small classes and study groups - some led by students, others by tutors - in harmony, Latin, Chinese, German, the New Testament, Hegel, Leibniz, African-American literature, and selected women writers. Other activities stem from interests independent of the college curriculum, such as astronomy, dance, and the martial arts. A network of PC and Macintosh computers is available for student use in a computer lab. The lab, open 24 hours a day, serves mainly to provide students with free access to word-processing and Internet services. Students can use the lab for writing essays, corresponding by email, printing out papers written on personal computers, and exploring the World Wide Web. All dorm rooms are wired for Internet access. �40 {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} {RESIDENCE & Prints, The Figure in 20th Century Sculpture and Space and Place: Map making East and West.

As a member of MidAtlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association, the St. John's Sailing Team competes in four regattas per semester in Fjs, 42os and lasers. The sailing team has a dedicated coach and practices several times a week, including weekly scrimmages with the Naval Academy. Croquet, too, has a large following, and each spring a team from St. John's takes on the Naval Academy in a much celebrated match for the Annapolis Cup. Athletic facilities on campus include playing fields, tennis courts, a gymnasium with a racquetball court, a well-equipped weight room, a dance studio, and a suspended running track. COLLEGE} THE SANTA FE CAMPUS I n the early r96os the college ed to expand its student body. Board of Visitors and Gover chose to establish a campus in West, rather than sacrifi virtues of a small campus. St. College in Santa Fe was opened int of r964 in New Mexico's capital, fo in r6rn by Spanish colonists. Its trial population of 65,000 people is pied principally with the governm the state and of Santa Fe County; wi tural pursuits in the fine arts, muse and opera; and with archaeologic historical research. Scientists in n Los Alamos do research in nuclearp and related fields. Neighboring ins. tions of higher education include Institute of American Indian Arts, College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Co College, and the University of New co in Albuquerque. Sixty miles tq {RESIDENCE & south, Albuquerque provides the attractions and conveniences of a city of 500,000 people. The campus of 250 acres lies in the southeast quadrant of the city, two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architecture of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of 7,300 feet, overlooks the city and offers superb views of the Cerrillos, the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The campus includes a classroom building, a science laboratory building, a library, a student center, an athletic center, a computer laboratory, a music and fine arts building, an administration building, three clusters of dormitories, and ten furnished, two-bedroom apartments. A conference services office, dining hall, and student health office are also located in these buildings. Each of the r6 dormitory units on the .main campus houses from r2 to r8 students, and the eight dorm suites, which house five people, serve as a smaller community of friends within the college. More than half the rooms are singles. The others are designed in suites of two or three rooms to provide each student with the privacy of his own quarters and, at the same time, close companionship with a fellow student. The eight dorm suites house five private rooms. Students living in these dorms are responsible for all cleaning in their rooms, athroom, and common room. The direcr of residential life helps students arrange live with others who share similar opinons about smoking, music, and so on in a ormitory area. Students in Santa Fe find it effective to rk out problems and ideas on an individbasis with the administration and faculas well as through the machinery of a mal student government, since both the e of the college and the form of the pro- STUDENT LIFE} 43 gram are conducive to informal and direct communication. There are permanent student representatives to the Financial Aid Committee, Campus Planning Committee, and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees, which concern themselves with such things as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the artistic, the academic, and the athletic. Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet, and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine Arts Building, the darkroom, and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The college's art gallery, which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists monthly. A student art show is scheduled each year, and awards are given for achievement in pottery, photography, drawing, painting, and making jewelry. The Moon, a student newspaper, provides students in Santa Fe with a medium through which to express their views about both the college and the world at large. Grout, a literary magazine, contains essays, art work, poetry, short stories, and photography from students and faculty alike. �44 {ST. JOHN'S Musical performances of many kinds are given by students through the Collegium Musicum. Formed to stimulate musical activity on campus, the association provides members of the college community with an opportunity to perform before small, receptive audiences. Through this organization, students and faculty who play instruments or who sing can find teachers and fellow musicians with whom to study or perform. The St. John's Chorus and the small chorus also give recitals. The college provides numerous keyboard instruments, including two grand pianos and a harpsichord, for student practice and performance. Practice rooms are available in the Fine Arts Building. The St. John's Film Society is organized by students to provide a wide variety of classic and current films for the college community every Saturday night. Many students are attracted to the town of Santa Fe by its crafts, music, theater, and visual arts. Santa Fe is the third largest art market in the U.S. with more than 250 art galleries and art dealers. Others have participated in tutoring in elementary schools, counseling, working on local church restoration, or other local activities. City buses stop every half hour near the campus, providing economical transportation to town. Most students come to St. John's with definite interests outside the scope of the program and pursue these interests in extracurricular classes and discussion groups, both on and off campus. Informal discussions of contemporary literature, forums on public concerns, and slide shows on art history are frequent on-campus activities, as are study groups in such languages as Latin, German, Spanish, and Hebrew. Thorne Fellowships give eligible students support toward fulfillment of medical school prerequisites during summer months, during a leave from the college, or after graduation. COLLEGE} AE in Annapolis, waltz parties, rock ties, and such regular events as the O berfest (in the mountains surrounding college), the Halloween Costume Party, Fasching Ball, the Graduation Ball, Reality Weekend provide occasions informal gatherings of tutors and stud Reality Weekend includes a talent show, picnic, and athletic competition. ATHLETICS Like Annapolis, the Santa Fe camp encourages all students to participate amateur intramural athletics, regardless their athletic skills. The new athletic c has a full-sized basketball court, two quetball/squash courts, a well-equip weight room, men and women's lo rooms, and a large outdoor equip room. The student outdoor progr office, the director's office, and a small door resource library are also located at new center. The college offers students, fac staff, and alumni a variety of sports outdoor recreational opportunities. dent interest usually determines w sports and outdoor programs are o There are organized tournaments for ketball, volleyball, badminton, table nis, racquetball, squash, indoor and door soccer, and fencing.

Students can join the St. John's College Search and Rescue Team and learn backcountry skills such as map and compass navigation, G.P.A. navigation, wilderness medicine, and technical evacuation. The Search and Rescue Team works under the auspices of the New Mexico state police and averages thirty missions a year. The athletic and outdoor program office provides students free use of sports and outdoor equipment; sleeping bags, tents, fly-fishing equipment, mountain bikes, downhill and cross-country skis and snowshoes are just a few of the items available for check-out. The college does not participate in formal collegiate athletics and there are no athletic scholarships awarded. The emphasis that the college places on the intellectual growth of students and faculty, and the absence of any athletic curriculum should not be mistaken for disdain of athletic endeavors. Despite the rigors of the curriculum, many of our students and faculty find time to play individual or team sports. STUDENT LIFE} 45 BOTH CAMPUSES RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES The Charter of 1784 established St. John's College as a non-denominational institution. In its early years, there were some ties with the Protestant Episcopal Church, but these no longer exist. Many tutors and students attend church or synagogue in town. FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS The college bookstore on each campus has all the books and supplies the students need for their classes. It also maintains a stock of books related to all phases of the program, and books of more general interest. It is operated without profit. Both campuses maintain computer laboratories for student use, providing free access to word processing and Internet services, including e-mail. PC and Macintosh computers are available in the laboratories. AE supports for an active social life, the college provides on each campus a coffee shop and a rooms for the use of all students. In addition, there are smaller, comfortably �46 {ST.

Those who apply want an education that consists of careful reading and consideration of the most demanding books; of serious conversation in which they will learn to consider the thoughts of others as well as their own; and of active participation in their own education. Education at St. John's is a common pursuit. Each student has a considerable effect on the life and learning of the community. Most who consider St. John's examine themselves carefully before applying so that when they do, they are saying to themselves and to the college that they want to engage fully in the life of reason and they believe they can take pleasure in it. In wTittheir application essays, many determine their own appropriateness as St. John's students; others eliminate themselves as applicants, deciding that their interests and those of the college do not coincide. Thus, for the most part, they select themselves. Some are rejected, of course, but a wide variety of students is accepted each year. The purpose of the admission process is to determine whether an applicant has the necessary preparation and ability to complete the St. John's prngram satisfactorily. The Admissions Committee - five tutors and the Director of Admissions on each campus - regards the application as being a question from the applicant: '"Do you think I am ready to profit from the program of studies at SL John's?" In the essays, applicants are asked to discuss their prev10us education, their reasons for choosing St. John's, and their experience with books. A number of optional topics are suggested. The essays are designed to enable applicants to give a 51 full account of themselves. They can tell the committee much more than statistical records reveal. Next the committee considers the applicant's academic achievement and promise. Previous academic records - the secondary school report and college if there is one - show whether an applicant has the habits of study necessary at St. John's. Letters of reference, indications that the has the maturity, self-discipline, ability, energy, and initiative to succeed in the St. John's program" to St. John's attaches little "objective" test scores, and no applicant is accepted or rejected because of such scores The committee's decisions are not influenced by the race, religion, sex, age, color, physical handicaps, sexual orientation or national or ethnic origin of an or any other factors muelated to the work of the college. The asks a minimum of personal data. Need for financial assistance does not affect the committee's decisions on ailinission. St. John's has decided to remain a small in which the students and faculty are known to each other. Each campus serves about 450 undergraduates. The size of each class is limited on each campus, Most freshman classes are about equally divided between men and women. New students are enrolled as freshmen; ro% to r5% of each entering class have done one, two, o:r even three years of college work elsewhere, These students, despite having good records at other colleges, relinquish their advanced standing to take part in the St. John's program. The Santa Fe campus offers January enrollment, Freshmen who enter in January stay on campus the summer to complete the first year.

HOMESCHOOLED STUDENTS Homeschooled applicants must su the results of either the SATr or ACT. 2. They must also submit an outline 0 curriculum they have followed, arran chronological order by convention ject matter, with brief descriptions course content and texts used. I. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION M ································ ··········································· ost applicants have a strong background in academic subjects. Specific academic requirements in-elude two rears of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a foreign language; additional work in mathematics and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. In addition to the application essays and secondary school report, each applicant must present transcripts of any college work and two letters of reference, including one from a teacher. In exceptional cases, certain of these requirements may be waived, or additional information may be requested. SAT or ACT test scores are not normally required, but may prove helpful. Occasionally, St. John's accepts an applicant who is not a secondary school graduate. Such students must be well qualified to profit from the college program and must either submit the results of a nationally recognized test (SAT, ACT, or PSAT) or a GED certificate. A campus visit and interview are especially important in such cases. St. John's admits as regular students only those who: r) have a high school diploma, or 2) have a GED or the equivalent, or 3) are beyond the age of compulsory education in Maryland. St. John's is authorized under federal fa enroll foreign students. In order to be sidered for admission, international dents must have followed a pre-uni course of study and must submit the fo ing documents: I.

John's College is one college located on two campuses. Although applications must be initiated and completed at one campus or the other, admission to either campus constitutes admission to the college as a whole. On inquiry, prospective students receive a statement of the St. John's College program, an application for admission and recommendation forms to be completed by schools and references. Applications may be submitted as early as the second semester of the eleventh grade. Because the college welcomes all serious applicants, there is no application fee. Students should submit their application materials to the Admissions Office on the campus they prefer to attend. Students planning to apply for financial aid should refer to the section on Fees and Financial Aid and notify the appropriate Admissions Office of their intentions as soon as possible. St. John's is committed to maintaining its low student/faculty ratio (8 tor). In order to meet this commitment, the number of students in each freshman class is carefully controlled. Candidates for admission are advised that applicants who meet the suggested deadlines (see below) are in a better position to secure places in the entering classes and early consideration for financial assistance than those who apply later. TEST CODE NUMBERS St. John's College's test code numbers for: the College Entrance Examination Boa:rqi (SAT and TOEFL) are: Annapolis= 5598; Santa Fe = 4737. The American Colleg;e Test (ACT) numbers are: Annapolis = r7324, Santa Fe = 2649 . Applications for fall classes should be filed as early as possible and preferably no later than March r; candidates wishing to enroll in January should apply no later than December r5. Applications are processed on a rolling basis. As soon as the application essays and supporting documents are received, the application is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. The applicant is notified of the committee's decision in COLLEGE} 53 about two weeks. Accepted students have the option to enroll on either campus. Late applications for both fall and January classes will be considered, but applicants are advised that the earlier their files are completed, the greater their chances of securing positions in the entering class on the campus of their choice. DEPOSITS Upon notification of acceptance, applicants have the option to enroll on either campus. In order to secure a place in the entering class, approved applicants must submit a deposit of $300 to the Admissions Office on the campus at which their applications were processed, together with a statement specifying the campus they wish to attend. Once the deposit has been submitted, the campus preference may not be changed except as noted below. Deposits are nonrefundable, except as noted below, and are applied to first semester tuition and fees. Deposits (and signed financial aid acceptance forms, if appropriate) are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the available positions are filled. Typically, the fall classes fill by the first week of May, so while there is ample time to consider offers of admission from other institutions, the earlier a decision can be reached, the better. January classes usually fill by the end of December. Students who submit deposits before the end of the first week of May (for the fall term) or December 20 (for the January term) have a significantly higher chance of securing positions in the entering classes than those who submit deposits later. If the entering class on the applicant's first-choice campus is full when the deposit is received, the Admissions Office will offer the following options: r) the deposit may be transferred to the other campus, provided space remains in that entering class; 2) the deposit may be used to secure a place on the waiting list or in a subsequent class on �54 {ADMISSION} the applicant's first-choice campus; 3) the deposit may be returned if neither of the first two options is acceptable. FINANCIAL Arn The college endeavors to meet the full demonstrated need of enrolling students requesting financial assistance. Of necessity, however, the amount of financial aid available for each class is limited. It is essential, therefore, that candidates apply for both admission and financial aid early. Applications for financial aid will be processed for approved applicants on a first-come, first-served basis until the available aid is exhausted. Therefore, U.S. citizens and permanent residents requesting financial assistance should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form as early as possible and promptly supply the Financial Aid Office with any additional documentation that may be requested. Non-U.S. citizens requesting financial assistance should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as soon as possible. Students who complete their financial aid applications before February r5 (for fall classes) or September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly higher chance of receiving all the aid for which tlley qualify than those who complete them later.

The college tains a website atwww.stjohnscollege.e JOHN'S CAMPUS VISIT I t is best for those who are considering attending St. John's to see the college for themselves. It is probably wise to get first-hand advance knowledge of any college one may be thinking of attending, but it is especially wise in the case of St. John's because of its unique curriculum and teaching methods. While on campus the visitor may attend a seminar on Monday or Thursday evening at 8 P.M.; attend tutorials in mathematics, language, and music; visit a laboratory; be interviewed by the Director of Admissions, a member of the admissions staff, or a tutor; attend the weekly formal lecture (Friday night); talk informally with St. John's students and tutors; visit the library and bookstore; explore the historic town of Annapolis or Santa Fe; attend a movie, play, art exhibit, or concert; or watch students participating in the sports program. Since the seminar, the most important part of the program, meets on Monday and Thursday evenings, student visitors are normally on campus from Monday to Tuesday or from Thursday to Friday. If travel arrangements make these time periods impossible, the visitor may telephone the Admissions Office for special help. The calendar in the front of the catalog should be checked to make certain the college will be in session during the time of the visit. Those planning to visit should telephone (r-800-727-9238 for Annapolis or I-800-33r-5232 for Santa Fe) or write the Admissions Office giving the dates (and alternates) they have selected. It is also necessary for the Admissions Office to know the approximate time of arrival. When the reservation is confirmed by telephone or letter, the visitor will be told the seminar reading. If it is necessary to cancel the visit, the Admissions Office should be notified as soon as possible. The only expense for visitors is trans- COLLEGE} 55 portation. They will be provided a room in a dormitory and meals in the dining hall without charge. St. John's students dress informally for tutorials, but more formally for seminar and formal lecture. The seminar readings usually can be located in inexpensive paperback editions in the college bookstore if a visitor has been unable to locate a copy of the book being discussed in seminar. Linens are provided by the college. Visitors arriving weekdays between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. should go to the Admissions Office. On weekends and any day after 5 P.M., visitors should go to the college receptionist. The receptionist is at the switchboard in Pinkney Hall at Annapolis and in Peterson Student Center at Santa Fe. TRANSPORTATION Baltimore-Washington International Airport is located twenty miles from Annapolis. An airport limousine goes to and from Annapolis; visitors are advised to check schedules in advance. Bus service from the airport is not practical. Hourly buses run between Baltimore and Annapolis, and the driver will let visitors off near the campus if asked. Buses from Washington are less frequent and let passengers off on West Street, about six blocks from the college. By car, take Route 50 from Washington; from Baltimore take Route 2 or l-97. Albuquerque International Airport is located sixty miles from the Santa Fe campus. A shuttle service from the airport to Santa Fe is available. Call the Admissions Office for information. Greyhound and Continental bus lines pass through Santa Fe. Amtrak stops at Lamy, N.M., twenty miles from Santa Fe, and taxi service is available to town (reservations should be made with the taxi service one day in advance). Upon arrival at the bus station or at one of the Santa Fe hotels, the easiest way to get to the campus is by taxi. 'i 'I �56 {FEES & FINANCIAL PROCEDURES AND DEADLINES T he college believes that qualified applicants should not be denied the opportunity to attend St. John's College because of limited finances. St. John's therefore maintains a financial aid program to assist eligible students to the greatest extent possible within the limits of the college's resources. Financial aid awards are made solely on the basis of need. A. The following principles underlie St. John's financial aid program: r. The primary responsibility for financing a college education lies with the student and the student's parents. The college can offer aid only to supplement funds the family provides. 2. The ability of a family to meet college expenses is determined by assessing the family's financial strength in terms of income, assets, debts, and number of family members in college. 3. Financial aid may be in the form of a grant, loan, or part-time employment, and will be offered to all students as a package that combines one or more forms of aid. 4. In keeping with the philosophy that students should contribute to their educational expenses, self-help is the first component of a financial aid award. At St. John's, self-help consists of a part-time job and an educational loan. 5. Financial aid is not automatically renewable; rather, students reapply each year they wish to be considered for aid. 6. Students receiving financial aid must meet the criteria for maintaining satisfactory progress in order to retain their award (see page 63). {ST. Arn} 7. Financial aid awards are mad accordance with the provisions of IV of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 Title IX of the Higher Education 1980, which prohibit discriminatio the basis of race, color, sex, phys· handicap, age, marital status, creed ethnic or national origin. B. The procedure for U.S. citizens and manent residents applying for fin aid is as follows: r. Applicants must file the current Application for Federal Student (FAFSA). In addition, St. Joh requires students seeking institutio grant aid to file the College Scholars Service's Financial Aid PROFILE fo These forms may be obtained from ondary schools. the Financial Office at St. John's, or online www.fafsa.ed.gov or www.profile line.collegeboard.com. To have analysis of your forms sent to St. Jo be sure to use the correct code n bers. PROFILE: Annapolis=5598; S Fe=4737. FAFSA: Annapolis=oo209 Santa Fe=oo2093. 2. As part of the application for fin cial aid, parents and students must vide copies of their most recent Fede Income Tax Return and W-2 forms. 3. Self-supporting students are require to meet the federal definition of i pendence and must comply with fed verification requirements. Indepe dent students must submit paren information in order to be conside for institutional assistance. Fin aid packages for self-supporting s dents are generally not adequate cover the full need of such applican because of funding limitations in bo federal and institutional programs, 4. Recipients of federally funded f cial assistance must not be in default JOHN'S any federal loans received at any institution and must not owe any refunds to the federal programs. 5. Students applying for and receiving financial aid from St. John's are required to notify the Financial Aid Office of any scholarships, loans, grants, gifts, employment or other financial benefits for which they become eligible; any change in their or their family's financial situation; and changes of name, marital status, and address. C. Non-U.S. citizens applying for financial aid should note the following: r. Financial aid for foreign students is lim- ited and competition for it is strong. For non-U.S. citizens, the maximum institutional assistance available is 653 of current tuition, room, and board. In addition to need-based loans and grants, foreign students are eligible for jobs on campus. They are also eligible to apply for summer employment at St. John's, but the availability of jobs cannot be guaranteed. 2. Non-U.S. citizens should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as early as possible, preferably no later than February 15. This form may be obtained from secondary school counseling offices or from the St. John's Admissions Office. No requests for financial assistance will be considered and no offers offinancial aid will be made until after a student has been admitted to the college. D. Following are the deadlines and notification dates for financial aid: Although the college has no deadline for receipt of financial aid applications, candidates for admission who are in need of financial assistance should indicate that FRESHMAN CANDIDATES: COLLEGE} 57 need as soon as possible. The FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's PROFILE form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Applicants should note also that the earlier their aid application is received, the better the chance that their financial need can be fully met. Candidates for admission applying for financial aid after February 15 (for fall classes) or after September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly lower chance of receiving all the funds for which they are eligible than those applying earlier. RETirn:NlNG STUDENTS: Applications are due by March l from enrolled students who are returning to the college and reapplying for financial aid or are applying for financial aid for the first time. Both the FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Students whose financial aid credentials are received by the Financial Aid Office prior to the March l deadline will be notified of the decision on their application by April l. Students whose applications for financial aid are received after the deadline will not be denied consideration for assistance, but the availability of funds cannot be guaranteed. E. Funds for financial aid awards from the college are available from the sources listed below. ST. JOHN'S GRANTS: Funds for St. John's grants are provided by the college from its own resources. St. John's grants do not need to be repaid. FEDERAL PELL GRANT: This federal program is designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend a post-secondary institution. Pell Grants are intended to be the first form of assistance in a financial aid package and may I I �58 {FEES & FINANCIAL be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet a student's demonstrated financial need. Eligibility for the Pell Grant and the amount awarded are determined on the basis of the financial resources of the applicant and the applicant's family. No repayment ofthis grant is required. FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT: The college awards SEOG's to incoming freshmen and enrolled students each year. The grants are awarded to students who demonstrate substantial need with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Eligibility for the SEOG is limited to a maximum of $4,000 per year and depends on availability of federal funding. FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAMS: This federal program permits the college to give part-time employment to students who need such earnings to pursue their course of study. Students maywork only a limited number of hours per week while enrolled and while classes are in session. FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN: These loans are made by the college directly to students using funds provided by the federal government. Perkins Loans are made available to students with high financial need. The maximum loan is $4,000 for each year of undergraduate study. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the college. The interest rate during repayment is 5%. There is a provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. FEDERAL SUBSIDIZED STAFFORD LOAN: The Federal Stafford Loan program enables a student to borrow directly from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association, or other participating lender who is willing to make the educational loan. The maximum amount an undergraduate may borrow is $2,625 for the {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} AID} freshman year, $3,500 for the sop more year, $5,500 for the junior year, $5,500 for the senior year. No in accrues and no payment is required the borrower is a full-time stud Repayment begins six months after mination of college attendance. For borrowers, the interest rate is variab with a maximum rate of 8.25%. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans available to students who do not the financial need criteria for the s .· sidized Stafford program. Unsu dized borrowers are charged inte during in-school, grace, and deferme periods. Unsubsidized fe eral loans are available without regard financial need to the parents of depe dent students. The maximum ann PLUS loan is the student's total estima cost of education less financial as tance. PLUS Loans have a 3% originati fee, a guarantee fee of up to r3, and a' variable interest rate with a cap of 93, Interest accrues from the date of dig... bursement for all PLUS loans.

BILLING AND DEPOSITS B illing for tuition and fees is done prior to each semester. Unless otherwise requested, the college presents its bills directly to the student. The charges are due and payable in full by August r for the first semester and December r for the second semester. Those who may wish to pay in monthly installments should ask the Treasurer's Office about the tuition payment plan available to St. John's College students and parents. Since determinations affecting students, faculty, and physical facilities must be made well in advance of the beginning of each academic year, the college must know in April which returning students will reg- 59 ister in September. A deposit of $500 on the fees for the following year is therefore due on or before the second Monday in April for prospective sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the deposit is not paid, the student may have to be placed on a waiting list; students to whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, academic dismissal or (in the case of prospective juniors) failure to enable. If the student should decide not to enroll in the year for which the deposit was made, the deposit is forfeited, and the student must make a new deposit to secure a place in a subsequent class. �60 {FEES & FINANCIAL {FEES Arn} receive their benefit payments. T arrangements must be made prior to beginning of the academic year, after ing received proper certification from Veterans Administration or the So Security Administration. Students with outstanding debts to college may not register for classes at beginning of the second semester and sequent semesters unless they have appropriate arrangements with t Treasurer's Office. The college charge interest on all unpaid balances, rates and on schedules to be determi and published each year. REFUND POLICY Each student is required to make a deposit of $200, called the Caution Deposit, which is used as a last resort to recover unpaid student bills. This fee is paid once at the beginning of the freshman year. If unused, it is refunded when the student leaves the college. Each graduating senior must pay a Commencement Fee of $rno at the beginning of the second semester of the senior year. Veterans and Social Security recipients qualified to receive educational benefits may arrange with the treasurer for a payment schedule of tuition and fees corresponding to the schedule on which they DETERMINATION OF DATE OF WITHDRAWAL OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL: A student con . ering withdrawal prior to the end of . semester may initiate the withdrawa~· process by notifying the Office of the Reg• istrar. When a student notifies the Re~ trar of an intention to withdraw, the stll:.~1 dent will be given a form entitled "Officw' Notice of Withdrawal." At this point th~ student has officially indicated the intent · to withdraw and the day the Official Notice of Withdrawal Form is obtained will be the date of withdrawal used for the calculation of return of Title N Funds institutional refund.

If a student decides not to withdraw after the discussion with college personnel, the student should notify the Office of the Registrar of that decision. If a student wishes to reverse a decision to withdraw after the Official Notice of Withdrawal has been submitted, the student must provide a written notification. If a student who rescinded an intention to withdraw does not complete the semester, the official date of withdrawal will be the later of the date the withdrawal form was obtained or the last date of class attendance. UNOFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL: If a student does not notify the Registrar of the intention to withdraw, the date of withdrawal used for the calculation of return of Title N Funds and institutional refund will be the midpoint of the semester. A date earlier or later than the midpoint may be used if the college has documentation of the last day the student attended class or handed in an assignment. If a student withdraws because of circumstances beyond the student's control, the college will determine the date of withdrawal. AID} 61 refunded. The same schedule will be used to calculate the cancellation of non-federal financial aid: the "refund amount" percentage provides the percentage of aid to be cancelled and the "amount charged" percentage corresponds to the revised aid the student will receive. For example, a student withdrawing within the first seven days of school would receive IO% of nonfederal aid that had been awarded. B. A student who is expelled or asked to withdraw for academic or disciplinary reasons will receive no refund of tuition, room, and board, or other fees. C. If the college determines that the circumstances leading to withdrawal are beyond the student's control, the student will be charged for tuition, activity fee, room, and board based on the percentage INSTITUTIONAL REFUNDS A. If a student withdraws prior to the end of the semester, a refund of tuition will be made according to the Institutional Refund Schedule. The student's withdrawal date is established as outlined in the initial section of the Refund Policy. The next step in determination of the institutional refund is to count the number of calendar days from the first day of classes to the date of withdrawal (weekends are included but scheduled breaks of at least five days are excluded). The schedule on page 60 is used to determine the percentage of fees (tuition, activity fee, room, and board) which will be of the semester attended (number of days enrolled divided by total number of days in the semester). The same percentage will be applied to institutional aid. Documentation of circumstances leading to the withdrawal may be required; for example, a letter from a physician will be required if a student is unable to complete the semester for medical reasons. �62 RETURN OF TITLE {FEES & FINANCIAL IV FUNDS If a student who has received Title IV Funds (federal financial aid) leaves the institution prior to completion of 60% of the semester, a calculation must be performed to determine the amount of unearned aid that must go back to the Title IV programs. No return of Title IV funds is required after 6o3(approximately g weeks of a r6 week semester). The withdrawal date will be established as described in the above Refund The percentage of Title IV aid which is earned by the student (i.e., the amount of federal aid the student is permitted to keep) is the same as the percentage of the semester completed. This percentage is computed dividing the total number of calendar days in the semester (including week-ends but excluding scheduled breaks of more than five days) into the number of calendar days completed by the student. For example, a student enrolled for r4 of n2 days would have earned r2.5% of Title {ST. Arn} IV aid for the semester. In this ~"''"""·'"'"' 87.5% of the Title IV aid would unearned. The institution is responsible for returning to the federal aid programs lesser of the amount of unearned Title aid or institutional charges that the incurred multiplied by the unearned percentage. Federal regulations specify the order which unearned funds are to be aid programs. The order is: I. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans 2. Subsidized Stafford Loans 3. Perkins Loans 4. Federal Plus Loans 5. Pell Grants 6. SEOG Federal Work-Study funds are not involved in this determination: A student may keep money earned through Federal Work- Study Programo If the total amount of unearned aid exceeds the amount the school is '' 0 ''"'·,-~;i to return, a student may need to return federal grant funds which have been received for off-campus living expenses, up to 50% of the amount received for the semester. Student loans and Plus Loans received for off-campus expenses do not have to be returned at the time of withdrawal but must be repaid in accordance with the terms of the loan. The Financial Aid Officic will notify a student if a return of federal grant funds is Sample cases of refund calculations are available in the Financial Aid Office. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 63 CRITERIA FOR JUDGING SATISFACTORY PROGRESS REGULAR STUDENTS Provisions of the Higher Education Act of require that each post-secondary institution make available information concerning the criteria for judging satisfactory academic progress. The criteria for St. John's College regarding the determination of satisfactory progress for :recipients of federally funded (Title IV) financial assistance are as follows: In order to be making satisfactory progress, at the end of a semester a student must be permitted to enter the next semester and that next semester must not include the repetition of any work. This permission is nonnally granted by the dean in consultation with a committee of all the student's tutors, the "'Don Rag Committee." The Don Rag Committee assesses a student's work in all parts of the program and approves its quality before recommending to the dean that the student be permitted to enter the next semester. This assessment is conducted in the student's presence by all of his or her tutors in common At the end of the s ore year, the dean and the Instruction Committee, with the advice of the tutors, review all of the student's work during the first two years and determine whether or not the student will be allowed to continne. Under some circumstances a student who has not satisfactorily completed a semester's work may be allowed to repeat the work in order to remain at the Students are not eligible for financial assistance (federal or institutional) while they are repeating work. Sometimes students are permitted to enter a new semester with the that they meet special conditions during the course of the semester. In these cases, a student is not repeating work and is deemed to be making satisfactory progress until the dean determines that the conditions have not been met. 'When the conditions have not been met, the dean, in consultation with the Instruction Committee, decides what further determit-iation is to be made of the case. �64 {FEES & FINANCIAL Federal regulations require that an institution set a maximum time frame in which students must complete their educational objectives. St. John's has set eight years as the maximum time frame in which students who are recipients of federal financial aid funds must earn their B.A. degrees. This may be eight years of full- or part-time study. Years in which a student is not enrolled at St. John's will not count in the eight-year limitation. However, years in which a student is repeating work (and thereby not receiving aid) are considered in the determination of years of study. If a student registers for a class in which he or she was previously enrolled for more than three weeks, the class will be considered as repeated work and the student will not be eligible for financial assistance. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the dean in the case of an involuntarywithdrawal due to illness or other mitigating circumstances. Students who are permitted by their Don Rag Committees to enter the next semester with incomplete grades on their records are deemed to be making satisfactory progress and are eligible for financial aid. A student who wishes to appeal a decision regarding academic standing should present a letter of appeal to the Dean of the College. The dean will review the situation, taking into account any special circumstances, and determine whether or not the student is making satisfactory progress. VETERANS/DEPENDENTS In compliance with federal and state regulations, St. John's has developed a set of policies on minimum standards of progress for enrolled veterans or dependents: r. St. John's will report to the Depart- ment of Veterans Affairs (VA) within 30 days all incidents of official termination or change of status that would affect benefits. 2. Arn} The V.A. requires that grades be for all classes undertaken and t grades be considered in compu grade point average. In Annap V.A. enrolled student who with from a class after the midpoin semester will have a WIgrade re indicating the quality of work up date of withdrawal. In Santa Fe, enrolled student who withdraws class after the three-quarter point semester will have an F recorded. credit will be given for withdra grades nor, in accordance with co policy, will they be included in the G 3. Minimum acceptable grades of a C age are expected. If a student falls this average and/or the student's think there is a serious academic lem, the Don Rag Committee will this to the Dean, who may ask the dent to leave the college or may p the student on academic probation possibly stipulate conditions that be met if the student is to continue in college. The normal probationary od is one semester. During that pro tionary period support and counseli are available to the student. 4. St. John's will inform all VA enrolled stu'-'. dents that prior academic credit frotlf post-secondary schools will be evaluatl' ed, but prior credits are not applicable to; the all-required degree program at th1t1• college except in very unusual cirum"· stances. Prior credit will be granted for pursuit of the same four-year, all~, required curriculum at the Annapol~ts · and Santa Fe campuses. The award of prior credit by the college will reduce the training time toward the reward ofa degree and will be reported to the VA as required. {ST.

John's College is a community dedicated to liberal education. Liberally educated human beings, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John's College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great books - texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures - because they express most originally and often most perfectly the ideas by which contemporary life is knowingly or unknowingly governed. These books are the most important teachers. They are both timeless and timely; they illuminate the persisting questions of human existence, and they bear directly on the problems we face today. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not of merely academic concern or remote from our true interests. They change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human questions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treatises, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other. They draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. This conversation, however, is unavoidably one-sided. The great books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To remedy this defect is the goal of the St. John's seminar. Here a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, attempt to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing to submit their opinions to one another's questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. On the other hand, it may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 7 they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety ofits historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are - to help the students make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they face. And it is the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. AB much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic - the arts of language; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy - the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experiment, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. Whatever methods are used, they all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to win knowledge of the world around them and knowledge of themselves in this world and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the wantonness of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. �8 {ST. {THE JoHN°'s COLLEGE} 9 CURRICULUM} THE SEMINAR he heart of the curriculum is the seminar - a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar seventeen to twentyone students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, from eight until ten or sometimes well beyond if the under discussion has aroused a sustained and conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around eighty pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text to be difficult. The seminar with a question asked one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at wilL The is temth e use of formal modes of address. Once the seminar may take nrnny forms. It may range from the most to the most general. The readfor example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and and to bring to the surface the students' and fears about the wisdom or error of national Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and-vice; and on humaniultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an of the assigned staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range over suggested the reading, but bearing only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the In the coffee shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument - an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the use the learn, also, that to some extent the of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under poetry is not . Such progress in together may be crnw11ed sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the of "following the argument," of faeing the crucial issues, or of foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question remains open vvith certain alternatives outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself m irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices which the discussion is alive A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the "right" opinion or interpretation. It is to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections and to help the students in every way possible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instn1ment for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful devi~e of all is the question "Why?" But the leaders may also take a definite and stand and enter directly into the argument. If they do so, however, they can expect no special consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. Consequentall opinions must be defended with reason, and any single opinion can prevail onJy general consent. The aim is always to develop the students' powers of reason and understanding, and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their owR EveTyfreshman, sophomore, and submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their uwn thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becom.es the center of their final oral examinations For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes the major part of the process called enabling (see page 3r). �70 {THE CURRICULUM} THE PRECEPTORIAL F r about seven to eight weeks in he middle of the year the semiars of the junior and senior lasses are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually give~ a choice of sixteen to twenty preceptonals on books or subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer :he_m. Students may suggest a topic and mVIte a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the program, some preceptorials may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more than ten students in a preceptorial. Guide~ by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by the seminar.

By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and writing. Other learning devices must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, around a table, about thirteen to sixteen students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to work together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstration, of an important work. AB in the seminar, students talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and insight to their fellows. Other tutors often attend, seeking to learn about a particular subject that they may later teach. Writing assignments are normally made in all classes: mathematics, music, and laboratory sections, as well as in language tutorials. The students are thus called upon continually to articulate and organize their thinking in both the written and spoken forms. THE LANGUAGE TUTORIAL Specialization in higher education has led to a profound neglect oflanguage skills. AB country is separated from country by the barrier oflanguage, so profession is separated from profession by technical jargon. Primarily, the language tutorial attempts to remedy this condition by training in the 17 means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and ambiguities of terms; to the role of metaphors, analogies and images; and to the logical relations that connect propositions. The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years, and French in the third and fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the students learn something of the nature of languages in general and of their own in particular. During the four years, then, they study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, they study their own language. They discover the resources of articulate speech and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent and effective - if it is to be adequate and persuasive. In the beginning, the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language being studied. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one that is concerned with particular details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work. Those are matters that do �12 {THE {STo CURRICULUM} not come into seminar discussionso The students' concern with them in the language tutorial all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak welL A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar.

The French of the third year begins with a brief, intensive of French grammar followed the reading of a French texto The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reacting of French. Students fluent in French may be from these early stages. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form and content are related to writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of their models. In the second semester a play is read - Racine's Phaedre. The principal of the fomth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal. Its immediate is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantiol basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of langnageo assignments include exercises in translation more ambitious than those attempted in the third yeaL The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T So Eliot, Dylan Thomas, W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. JOHN'S MATHEMATICS TUTORIAL word meaning "to learn." It is then, that students should to dislike mathematics or to think of as unmathematicaL It is regrettable that competent mathematia:re often unaware of the philosopbiassumptions upon which mathematical -~,,n•rn''" and formulas are based. Matheart, not artificially separated fron1 what have come to be called the humanities When mathematics is taught at an unlnu-riecl pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for their and imagination, as it is at St. John's, mathematics becomes not only the most learnable liberal art but also one that provides ready access to others :md significant analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studying mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines ic Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarity with the mathematical methods by which it is managed, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their applicationo It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to students to think about what it means to count and measure in the universe. The second main reason for studying mathematics concerns the mathematics Since mathetutorial more matics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human for learning, its study is especially useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know somethingo 0 COLLEGE} 13 To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problemso By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigm, they ru:e continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are r:.iised dming the V./hy and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? \YJhat is the relation of logic to mathematics? \X/hat do "better" and "worse," "ugly" and "beautiful" signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are the1'e "mathematical objects"? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? means of such questions, which grow out of the work and which excite the intellect and the at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger of the seminar. The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid's organization the mathematical discoveries of his �14 {THE CURRICULUM} the mathematics tutorial at St. John's and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: His work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study Copernicus' transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into helioc en tri c form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an understanding of algebra as the "analytic art" in general. In the third year, calculus is studied both analytically in its modern form and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. This is followed by an examination of Dedekind's theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The students then return to Newton's Principia to take up its treatment of astronomy, in which Newton brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomy with a "dynamic" theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski's approach to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 15 of the geometric art as a whole. Seniors also study Einstein's special theory of relativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. In Santa Fe, the mathematics and language tutorials of the senior year are replaced for part of the second semester with a visual arts tutorial that includes a close study of classic paintings, beginning with Giotto's frescoes and ending with Picasso's Les Demoiselles d:Avignon. THE Music TUTORIAL One of the aims of the St. John's program has been to restore music as a liberal art to the curriculum. The study of music at St. John's is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind's power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the ratios among whole numbers. In particular, the music program at St. John's aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year, students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place primarily by singing, and by the second semester the students perform some of the great choral works. In the sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides continuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoric, and poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial includes an investigation ofrhythm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the diatonic system, a study of the ratios of musical intervals, and a consideration of melody, counterpoint, and harmony. None of these are done apart from the sounding reality of good music. The inventions of Bach, the songs of Schubert, the masses of Palestrina, the operas of Mozart, and the instrumental works of Beethoven are the real textbooks. In the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. �16 {THE CURRICULUM} THE LABORATORY hree hundred years ago, algebra and the arts of analytic geomet-ry were introduced into European thought, mainly by Rene Descartes" This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, morals, and religion" It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural worldo It is a focal point of the Sto John's program and one that the college takes special care to ""'f'''"""°""" There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it" The last two years of the program e¥Jiibit the changes that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the which cover the period from Homer to Descartes, Modern mathematics has made possible the of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is k:nown to us as the laboratory The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast of conceived by the great thinkers of the seventeenth century, They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters" Liberal is concerned with the artifices of the human mind and hand that to our For this purpose, Sto John's has set up a three-year laboratothe natural sciences, wherein characteristic and related of physics, and chemistry are pursuedo There is the art of measurement, which involves the study of the instruments of observation and measurement; crucial experiments are reproduced; the inter- [ST, JOHN'S COLLEGE} 17 ported by the mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques" The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research, It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills, The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the humanities, as iftheywere distinct and autonomous domains of learning, There need not be "two cultures." Different fields of exploration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems from sources common to all intellectual hk THE ORGANIZATION OF THE LABORATORY VfoRK The laboratory program is largely determined by three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the study of science: (r) The formally scheduled exiJentlTI(~nr;ai must be combined with a full and free discussion of the instruments and nrm•·1nlP< involved in it, (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific disciplme to its roots in principle, and observation" Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters are to be selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished critical study (3) TI1e schedule oflaboratorywork should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation" The students must have time to satisfy themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire thus can they come to a mature understanding of the sciences called "exacc" A laboratory section consists of fourteen to sixteen students working under the guidance of a tutor, vvith the help of more advanced students serving as assistants, Sections meet two or three times a week A laboratory session may be used fo:r exposition and discussion of theory, for experimentation, or for both, as the prngress of the work requires, Occasionala laboratory meeting is reserved for the discussion of a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; of Aristotle, Galen, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry" �18 {1:1HE CURRICULUM} LABORATORY TOPICS have been choand biological The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: ISTYEAR 12 20 weeks: Observational biology weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic THE FrnsT YEAR begins with twelve devoted to topics in observational gy: classification of types, structure, cells and their aggregation and embryological opment.

These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the that matter is composed of discrete particles. The student compares the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance and substantial change, and goes on to study and discuss important original texts bearing on the development of the atomic-molecular theory. Experiments are performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the and chemical transformation of which they speak. The work culmiof nates m the resolution of the atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this determination. THE THIRD YEAR The third-year laboratory deals vvith topics common to a number of the traditional div1sions of such as mechanics, and electroniagnetism. Throughout the year, med by the reading of Galileo, Descartes, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, and Ma:h'Well. The mathematical tools of are to be put to work in the laboratory at the same time that then rigorous development is in the mathematics tutorials. As the tools of the calculus become available, the shifts from a duect, qualitative description of force, acceleration, work, eneTgy, and fields to their reformulation in terms of derivative and at the same time, the physical concepts serve to illustrate the mathematical ideas. The concepts of mechanics are to be used to formulate alternative theories of light - corpuscular COLLEGE} 19 and wave - and the success of either theory in accounting for is examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromagnetic theory oflight. THE FOURTH YEAR In many ways, the work of the sen_ior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first ten weeks, the senior up anew the theory of atomism - but the atom itself has become the ect of study.

On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar readings or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students' readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: It inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability ofwhat they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials. Others may have a lasting effect on the direction that students' work takes within the framework of the program. {ST.

JOHN'S LIST OF GREAT BOOKS he list of books that serves as the core of the curriculum had its beginnings at Columbia College, at the University of Chicago, and at the University Since Ig37, it has been under continuous review at St. John's College. The distribution of the books over the four years is significant. More than two thousand years of intellectual history form the backgrnund of the first two years; about three hundred years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understandof the liberal arts; the second year contains books from the Roman, and Renaissance periods; the third year has books of the seventeenth and centuries, most of were written in modern languages; fourth year the reading into nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The chronological order in which books are read is primarily a matter convenience and intelligibility; it does imply a historical approach to the matter. The St. John's curriculum seeks convey to students an understanding the fundamental problems that beings have to face and at all It invites them to reflect both on continuities and their discontinuities.

The title professor is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a ~AAnM,,,-,,"c enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All particiin a class are expected to prepare for studying the text that is of the class - it wight be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wTote from the point of theiT learning. What then is the role of the reacting and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good able to raise issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students, Next, must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulthem to ties of their students and to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding, In summary, the rnle of the tutors is to to listen and to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration o:r but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to themselves.

This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid's Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles' funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation.

A SAMPLE Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods oflaboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students, The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-and- one-half hours to fouxand-one-half hours per week. Freshmen, and seniors up to SL'!: hours each week in the laboratory. Two evenings, from eight to ten, all students attend a seminar. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week.

TUESDAY Seminar Seminar Formal Lecture �30 {THE ACADEMIC ESSAYS AND EXAMINATIONS ESSAYS Annually in Annapolis and each semester in Santa Fe, all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors submit essays to their seminar leaders on some aspect of the liberal arts. These essays are based directly upon books in the program. ORAL EXAMINATIONS Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are held. These are conducted by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of their study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of their classes. For freshmen, the first oral examination of the year is given before the winter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin. ORDER} THE ALGEBRA EXAMINATION Before the second semester of their sophomore year, students must pass an examination in elementary algebra and trigonometry. Review sessions are offered. THE FINAL ESSAY AND ORAL ExAMINATION In the senior year, the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of the four years' work. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at the start of the second semester are reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes. If the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined about it by the committee in an hour-long public examination. No degree is awarded unless both the essay and the oral examination are satisfactory. The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student's learning. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} ACADEMIC STANDING B ecause St. John's classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students' progress from day to day. The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student's total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of ability and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John's is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for grades. Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John's, attendance at all regularly scheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. 31 time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student's work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. LETTER GRADES Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on request. The tutor's comprehensive judgment of a student is reported to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, D or F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has stopped, the student is asked to leave the college. THEDoNRAG SOPHOMORE ENABLING Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a semester, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors meet with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students' work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors' reports and comment on their own work. Advice may be requested and given; difficulties may be aired; but grades are not reported or discussed. In the junior year, conferences replace some of the don rags. In conferences, students report on their own work, and then the tutors comment on that report. By the Sophomore enabling is a review by the Instruction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of sophomores, of the student's learning during the two years spent in the college. The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling procedure. Consequently, no students are enabled to enter the junior class unless they have written a satisfactory essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are sufficiently prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student writing an acceptable senior essay. �32 {THE ACADEMIC THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS lhe student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfacis awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session in three and one-half years, but they spend their first summer in ocu.m1.w:;1cing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John's seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the of approximately one hundred thirty-four semester hours.

More than 75% of St. John's graduates pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with dose to 30% of each graduating class pursuing advanced studies at leading universities across the country. St. John's students consistently score subthe national averages on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Law School Admission Test Most fields of study may be entered cli··~ 0 dvfrom St. John's. Some of the more highly technical fields may require additional either prior to or during the first year of graduate study. St. John's has special programs and relationships 'Arith graduate and professional schools to help fields such as medicine, business, engineering, and teaching. THE ST. JoHN's DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS Tutors who have completed two years of teaching at St. John's may receive a master's degree in liberal arts. They must petition the Instruction Committee for permission to present themselves as candidates for the degree. They must then submit a thesis on a topic approved by the Instruction Committee and stand for an oral examination upon it. The topic must have some bearing on the and practice of the liberal arts, {ST. JoHN's COLLEGE} 33 THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION - - - - h e Graduate Institute at St. John's College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of f.u·ts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, modeled on that of the undergraduate college, have t11VO distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS he aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts (thirty-six semester credit hours). These segments taken constitute a closely integTated program of study. Classes a:re small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which fourteen to twentyone students engage in a discussion initiated a tutor's about the assigned reading. In the tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students (twelve to sixteen) focuses more on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, texts, or dense arguments of or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to engages in the study of a book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty me1nbers are called tutors, not and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than their field of expertise. At least tvvo segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and terms, and four are offered in the summer term. In the fall and terms, classes meet only two in the late afternoons and ing it pvbo.w1e the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order ble with the sequence of offerings. An master's essay may be 1Nritten students who have at least two tenns. In recent years, approximately eighty students have been enrolled on each campus each session . The program to the Master of Arts in Liberal A.rts is accredited the .North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Schools. �34 35 THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM*' DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS LITKRAY0RE PRECEPT 0 RI AL (examples) PRECEPT 0 RI AL (examples) SEMJNAP, Montesquieu: The Spirit ofthe Laws Shakespeare: The history plays Smith: The Wealth ojNations Rousseau: Emile Hegel: The Philosophy ofRight .Aristotle: On the Soul Heidegger: Selected Works Spinoza: Ethics Wittgenstein: Phi/osoplzical Investigations Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathustra Homer: Iliad, Odyssey Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Clweplzoroe, Eumenides Sophocles: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonu.s, Antigone Emipides: Hippolytus, Bacchae, Electra Axistophanes: Frogs MATHEMlATICS AND NATUl'JU, SCIENCE SEMINAR TUTOPdAL Chaucer: Canterbwy Tales in Middle English<· Shakespeare: J(ing Lear Aristotle: Poetics Selected English lyric poetry Pp, EC E PT 0 RI AL (examples) Plato: Timaeus"'" Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Aristotle: Physics'·" Ptolen1y: Almagest;' Galileo: Dialogue on Llze Two Chief World Systems' Darwin: The Origin a/Species* Freud: Selected Works Cervantes: Don Quixote HISTORY SEMINAR Herodotus: Histories' Thucydides: Peloponnesian War* Livy: Early History ofRome'' Polybius: Histories' Plutarch: "Caesar" and "Cato the Yo1lllger" Tacitus: Annals!{Tocqueville: The Old Regime and the French Revolution* TUTORIAL Eliot: i11iddlemarclz Dostoevski: The Brothers f(aramazov Euclid: Elements' Lobachevski: The Theory of Para{!els *" PRECEPT 0 RI AL (examples) POLITICS AND 5ocmTY SEMINAP, Plutarch: "Lycurgus" and "Solon" Plato: Machiavelli: The Prince Locke: Second Treatise of Civil Govenunent Rousseau: On the Origin and Foundations ojinequality l\!Iarx: The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844~' Tocqueville: Denwcracy in America'· TUTORIAL A.Tistotle; J\Ticomaclzean Ethics'r Thomas Aquinas: Treatise on Law·>f- Hobbes: Leviathan' Declaration of Independence Articles of Confederation U.S. Constitution Hamjlton ., Jay, and IYiadison: The Federalist'' Selected U.S Supren1e Court Decisions Light: Aristotle, Descartes, Huygens, a.nd Newton Lavoisier: Elements of Chemistry Maxwell: The01y ofHeat Bacon and the Principles of Natural Philosophy Galileo: Two New Sciences PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY SEMINAR Genesis Kwdus fob Matthew Romans Augustine: Confessions".· Thomas Aquinas: Summa Tlzeologica ~ Kant: Groundwodc of the JJ!letaplzxsics of111oral< Kierkegaard: Philosophical Fragments TUTORIAL Plato: 111eno Aristotle: il1etaplzysics' Descartes: JV!editation.s H1u11e: An Enquiry Concerning 1-iuman Understanding Kant: Prolegoniena to Any Future Metaphysics Nietzsche: Beyond Good and Evil'' TUTORIAL Augustine: The Ciry of God'·" Vico: The New Science'· Kant:Idea ofa Universa/Histo1y Herder: Ideas Toward the Philosophy of the History of Jlfankind;;Hegel: Philosophy ofHistorf' Marx: The German Ideology Nietzsche: Uses and Abuses of History for Life Dilthey: Introduction to the Human Sciences;' Collingwood: The Idea of.l-list01y' Strauss: Political Philosophx and History' PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Tolstoy: fVar and Peace Machiavelli: The Florentine Histories \Veber: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism Arendt: The Origins of Totalitarianism ,. Readings may differ slightly betvveen the two campuses * Selections he aim of the Eastern Classics program is to help students seek a deeper understanding of the fundamental and endur~ ing questions that have been raised by thoughtful human beings in the rich traditions of the East. Its course of study consists of thirty-four semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Santa Fe campus. The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. In the seminar, fourteen to twenty-one students discuss assigned readings from a wide range oflndian, Chinese, and Japanese texts In the tutorial, twelve to fifteen students study either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. The goal is not mastery, but rather sufficient familiarity with the elem en ts of the languages to gain some insight into their structure and to trans- late selected short passages from classical texts, In the preceptorial, eight to twelve students study a single work or theme for an eight-week period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged. �36 37 THE EASTERN CLASSICS CURRICULUM FALL SEMESTER SPRJNG SEMESTER SUMMER SEMESTER CHINESE TUTORIAL CHINESE TUTORIAL SEMINAR Pronunciation and grammar Confucius: Analects* Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching• T'ang Poetry Mencius: Works* SANSKRIT TUTORIAL Bhagavad-Gita • Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra• The Tale ofthe Heike LotusSutra Sei Shonagon: The Pillow Book• Kenko: Essays in Idleness Dogen: Shobogenzo • Basho: TheNarrowRoadtothe Deep North Chushingura: The Treasury of Loyal Retainers SANSKRIT TUTORIAL Gonda, A Concise Elementary Grammar ofthe Sanskrit Language Devanagari script SEMINAR Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching Confucius: Analects, The Great Learning and The Doctrine of theMean Mo Tzu: Basic Writings ofMo Tzu • Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Mencius: Works• Hsiin Tzu: Writings a/Hsun Tzu• Han Fei Tzu: Writings ofHanFei Tzu* Ssu-ma Ch'ien: Records ofthe Grand Historian* I Ching Rig Veda Brihad-Aranyaka Upanishad Kena Upanishad Mundaka Upanishad Katha Upanishad Ishvara Krishna: Sankhya Karika Tattva-Kaumudi • Patanjali: Yoga Sutra J ayadeva: Gitagovinda PRE C E PT 0 RI AL (examples) Mahabharata (required) I Ching Confucius: Analects Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Lao Tzu: Basic Writings SEMINAR Kalidasa: Shakuntala, Kumarasambhava and Meghaduta Jamini: Mimamsa Sutra • Kumarila Bhatta: Slokavartika Katha Upanishad Institutes o/Manu Kautilya: Artha-Shastra KamaSutra• Mahabharata Bhagavad-Gita Abhinavagupta: Dhvanyaloka• Jayarasi Bhatta: Tattvopaplavasimha • Asvaghosa: Buddhacarita Majjhima Nikaya • Vimalakirti Sutra • Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra Chandrakirti: Prasannapada Lankavatara Sutra • Guadapada: The GreatKarika on theMandukya Upanishad Shankara: Commentary on the Vedanta Sutras T'ao Ch'ien: Record ofthe Peach Blossom Fountainhead Chinese Poetry• Diamond Sutra HeartSutra Hui-Neng: Platform Sutra ofthe Sixth Patriarch Chu Hsi: Chu Tzu ch 'uan-shu, and Chu Tzu wen-chi PRECEPT 0 RIAL (examples) Rig Veda Upanishads Ts'ao Hsueh-Shin: Story ofthe Stone Ssu-ma Ch'ien: Records ofthe Grand Historian Neo-Confucian Texts Chinese Vernacular Prose of the Ming Dynasty PRECEPTORIAL Murasaki Shikibu: The Tale of Genji (required) FoR ADDITIONAL.INFORMATION To receive a Program Statement containing more detailed information ab~ut ~he Graduate Institute, as well as apphcauon forms, contact us at either of the following addresses: Graduate Admissions Office St. John's College P.O.

Such activities in Annapolis are sponsored both by the Director of Athletics and by the Senior Resident for student activities. In Santa Fe they are organized by the Student Activities Office (SAO), which is responsible for providing instruction and equipment. THE ANNAPOLIS CAMPUS S ince its founding as King William's School in 1696, St. John's has been situated in the colonial seaport town of Annapolis, capital of the State of Maryland. Its population of 40,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the state and of Anne Arundel County; with the training of midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy; with the fish, crab, and oyster industry; and with the sailing and recreational activities of the Chesapeake Bay. The campus of thirty-six acres lies in the historic district, adjoining College Creek, one block from the State House and across the street from the Naval Academy yard. The fifteen buildings include 18th-century historic homes (now classrooms, offices, iµid a dormitory), 19th-century Victorian ~tructures, and 20th and 21st-century buildings designed to complement the older ones. There are eight student dormitories, 'Offering single, double, and triple rooms. The community of students has governed ~elf since 1945 with elected officers and !!legates representing each dormitory and off-campus constituency. The Student ty representatives, called the Delegate cil, meet once a week to hear requests students for funds, to remind students their responsibilities to the college com'ty, and to express student opinion on sTuDENT LI F E } 39 common problems. The Delegate Council also meets with college officials to discuss matters of mutual concern and maintains a Student Committee on Instruction, which works with the Faculty Instruction Committee on academic matters. A Food Committee works with the dining hall manager to develop satisfactory dishes for regular and vegetarian menus. The Gadfly, a student newspaper, provides a second medium for expression of opinion to the community as a whole. Controversy ranges from petty to vital; essays, reviews, and news are included. Energeia, the college's student-run literary magazine, is published annually and contains longer and more polished essays, poetry, and fiction. Students are also welcome to contribute to The College, an official publication of St. John's. Extracurricular organizations at St. John's are generally informal. Some continue year after year, while others spring up and die out as the individual members of the community come and go. Many extracurricular activities grow directly out of the curriculum as students' interests overflow from the classroom. The past years have seen small classes and study groups - some led by students, others by tutors - in harmony, Latin, Chinese, German, the New Testament, Hegel, Leibniz, African-American literature, and selected women writers. Other activities stem from interests independent of the college curriculum, such as astronomy, dance, and the martial arts. A network of PC and Macintosh computers is available for student use in a computer lab. The lab, open 24 hours a day, serves mainly to provide students with free access to word-processing and Internet services. Students can use the lab for writing essays, corresponding byemail, printing out papers written on personal computers, and exploring the World Wide Web. All dorm rooms are wired for Internet access. �40 {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} Theater life is active. The King William Players stage one or two classical plays a year, perform one or two modern works, and produce several one-act plays. Recent productions have included The Winter's Tale, The Nature and Purpose of the Universe, Phaedre, The Midlife Crisis of Dionysus and The Tempest. Every weekend, the student film club presents foreign and domestic films - the classics of cinema art. The selection is eclectic: recent screenings have included Reservoir Dogs, Potemkin, Citizen Kane, and The Seventh Seal. There are also occasional special film series. Music is pursued in groups and individually. Voice and instrumental ensembles train new members and perform at collegia at the end of each semester. The St. John's Chorus has recently presented concerts featuring Faure's Requiem, Schubert's Mass in G, and early vocal music. The college provides practice rooms, including a rock room, and pianos and a music library of scores and recordings. Private study can be easily arranged on campus or in town. Individual artistic expression needs a time for training and a place to work. Per~ manent facilities, such as the art studio, ceramic studio, woodworking shop, photography darkroom, and stage floor,· provide places to develop specific skills, The college's Mitchell Art Gallery special~. izes in circulating exhibitions by artists Of major stature. Recent shows have includ Rembrandt Etchings, Japanese Woodbl {RESIDENCE & Prints, The Figure in 20th Century Sculpture and Space and Place: Mapmaking East and West. Lectures and discussions are scheduled during each show. An exhibit in the spring displays work by members of the college community. There are periodic trips to galleries and museums in Washington and Baltimore; transportation is free of charge for St. John's students. Various artists teaching in their fields of specialization conduct classes in drawing, painting, sculpture, and pottery throughout the year. Materials and tools are furnished without.charge in most cases. Parties, an important part of community life, come in several varieties. The St. John's Waltz Committee arranges frequent parties in the Great Hall, featuring waltzes and big-band swing music. These parties include the Halloween Masked Ball, MidWin ter Ball, Croquet Cotillion, and Commencement Waltz. Rock parties are held regularly in the Coffee Shop by members of the junior class, who also organize Reality Weekend, a festival in late spring. Reality begins with student skits and paro: 'dies, and then provides two full days of picnicking, games, movies, and music. There are Sunday concerts at the coliege, and the Political Forum invites 'ecturers to speak on weekday evenings. apolis itself offers church groups of all ominations, synagogues, concerts, STUDENT LIFE} . 41 plays, historic tours, seafood, sailing, the Naval Academy, hiking, cycling, state government, political work, community service groups, and so on. Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland, both within an hour's drive, offer activities too numerous to mention; the Senior Resident for Student Activities schedules trips to both cities to attend plays and films, as well as for individual explorations. ATHLETICS The college provides an extensive intramural sports program that includes team competition in soccer, flag football, handball, basketball, and croquet, as well as individual tournaments in tennis and table tennis. This highly organized and very popular program, for both men and women, is a mainstay of the college's extracurricular life. Many students abandon athletics when they enter college because they find programs designed for only the select few. At St. John's, they are able to rediscover the joy of amateur athletics in a welcoming setting. Competition between intramural teams is passionate, but good-natured. Students and faculty also pursue interests in fencing (the Fencing Union has regular bouts with local clubs and universities), aikido, yoga, weight training, tai chi, dance, aerobics, and Pilates. Alumni, siblings, faculty, staff, and even parents may participate. Located at the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Severn River, Annapolis is synonymous with water sports. The Hodson Boathouse, one of the lovliest in the mid-Atlantic region, serves as headquarters for an active crew program. Sweep-oar rowing and sculling are very popular activities. The college team practices five mornings per week and competes in intercollegiate regattas. Many Johnnies learn to row just for fun. The college has a small fleet of boats, from lasers to a 22-foot Cape Dory sloop, along with many rowing dinghies, canoes �42 {ST. JOHN'S and kayaks in which students may explore the beauties of the Chesapeake Bay. An annual sail picnic, organized by The Friends of St. John's, provides an opportunity for sailing aboard large yachts. In addition, St. John's has a newly formed intercollegiate sailing team. As a member of MidAtlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association, the St. John's Sailing Team competes in four regattas per semester in Fjs, 42os and lasers. The sailing team has a dedicated coach and practices several times a week, including weekly scrimmages with the Naval Academy. Croquet, too, has a large following, and each spring a team from St. John's takes on the Naval Academy in a much celebrated match for the Annapolis Cup. Athletic facilities on campus include playing fields, tennis courts, a gymnasium with a racquetball court, a well-equipped weight room, a dance studio, and a suspended running track. COLLEGE} THE SANTAFE CAMPUS I n the early rg6os the college decided to expand its student body. The Board of Visitors and Governors chose to establish a campus in the West, rather than sacrifice the virtues of a small campus. St. John's College in Santa Fe was opened in the fall of r964 in New Mexico's capital, founded in r6rn by Spanish colonists. Its population of 65,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the state and of Santa Fe County; with cultural pursuits in the fine arts, museums, and opera; and with archaeological and historical research. Scientists in nearby Los Alamos do research in nuclear physics and related fields. Neighboring institutions of higher education include the Institute of American Indian Arts, the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Community College, and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Sixty miles to the south, Albuquerque pro- {RESIDENCE & vides the attractions and conveniences of a city of 500,000 people. The campus of 250 acres lies in the southeast quadrant of the city, two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architecture of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of 7,300 feet, overlooks the city and offers superb views of the Cerrillos, the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The campus includes a classroom building, a laboratory, a library, a student center, a music and fine arts building, an administration building, three clusters of dormitories, and ten furnished, two-bedi:oom apartments. A conference services office, dining hall, and student health office are also located in these buildings. Each of the r6 dormitory units on the main campus houses from r2 to r8 students, and the eight dorm suites, which house five people, serve as a smaller com,munity of friends within the college. More half the rooms are singles. The others designed in suites of two or three rooms provide each student with the privacy of sown quarters and, at the same time, companionship with a fellow student. eight dorm suites house five private ms.

There are permanent stu- STUDENT LIFE} 43 dent representatives to the Financial Aid Committee, Campus Planning Committee, and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees, which concern themselves with such things as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the artistic, the academic, and the athletic. Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet, and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine Arts Building, the darkroom, and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The college's art gallery, which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists monthly. A student art show is scheduled each year, and awards are given for achievement in pottery, photography, drawing, painting, and making jewelry. The Moon, a student newspaper, provides students in Santa Fe with a medium through which to express their views about both the college and the world at large. Au Verso, a literary magazine, contains essays, art work, poetry, short stories, and photography from students and faculty alike. �44 {ST. JOHN'S Musical performances of many kinds are given by students through the Collegium Musicum. Formed to stimulate musical activity on campus, the association provides members of the college community with an opportunity to perform before small, receptive audiences. Through this organization, students and faculty who play instruments or who sing can find teachers and fellow musicians with whom to study or perform. The St. John's Chorus and the small chorus also give recitals. The college provides numerous keyboard instruments, including two grand pianos and a harpsichord, for student practice and performance. Practice rooms are available in the Fine Arts Building. The St. John's Film Society is organized by students to provide a wide variety of classic and current films for the college community every Saturday night. Many students are attracted to the town of Santa Fe by its crafts, music, theater, and visual arts. Others have participated in tutoring in elementary schools, counseling, working on local church restoration, or other local activities. City buses stop every half hour near the campus, providing economical transportation to town. Most students come to St. John's with definite interests outside the scope of the program and pursue these interests in extracurricular classes and discussion groups, both on and off campus. Informal discussions of contemporary literature, forums on public concerns·, and slide shows on art history are frequent on-campus activities, as are study groups in such languages as Latin, German, Spanish, and Hebrew. Thorne Fellowships give eligible students support toward fulfillment of medical school prerequisites during summer months, during a leave from the college, or after graduation. As in Annapolis, waltz parties, rock parties, and such regular events as the Octoberfest (in the mountains surrounding the COLLEGE} college), the Halloween Costume Party, the Fasching Ball, the Graduation Ball, and Reality Weekend provide occasions for informal gatherings of tutors and students. Reality Weekend includes a talent show, a picnic, and athletic competition. ATHLETICS Like Annapolis, the Santa Fe campus encourages all students to participate in amateur intramural athletics, regardless of their athletic skills. The new athletic center has a full-sized basketball court, two racquetball/ squash courts, a well-equipped weight room, men and women's locker rooms, and a large outdoor equipment room. The student outdoor programs office, the director's office, and a small outdoor resource library are also located at the new center. The college offers students, faculty, staff, and alumni a variety of sports and outdoor recreational opportunities. Student interest usually determines which sports and outdoor programs are offered. There are organized tournaments for basketball, volleyball, badminton, table-tennis, racquetball, squash, indoor and outdoor soccer, and fencing. There are also opportunities to swim and play tennis, softball, and Ultimate Frisbee. The college also supports a Karate-Do program led by tutor Jorge Aigla, 6th Dan. Depending on student interest, extracurricular classes ar offered each year such as Tai Chi, dan aerobics, and self-defense. Outdoor rec ational activities include whitewater can ing and rafting, downhill and cross-coun skiing, snow shoeing, and fly fishing. Outdoor Programs office organizes exte ed river trips each fall and spring in the s rounding Southwest. The neighboring gre de Cristo Mountains provide hun of square miles of forest and wilderness camping and hiking. Students can join St. John's College Search and Rescue 11 and learn back-country skills such as and compass navigation, G.P.A. na {RESIDENCE & tion, wilderness medicine, and technical evacuation. The Search and Rescue Team works under the auspices of the New Mexico state police and averages thirty missions a year. The athletic and outdoor program office provides students free use of sports and outdoor equipment; sleeping bags, tents, fly-fishing equipment, mountain bikes, downhill and cross-country skis and snowshoes are just a few of the items available for check-out. The college does not participate in formal collegiate athletics and there are no athletic scholarships awarded. The emphasis that the college places on the intellectual growth of students and faculty, and the absence of any athletic curriculum should not be mistaken for disdain of athletic endeavors. Despite the rigors of the curriculum, many of our students and faculty .find time to play individual or team sports. STUDENT LIFE} 45 BOTH CAMPUSES RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES The Charter of 1784 established St. John's College as a non-denominational institution. In its early years, there were some ties with the Protestant Episcopal Church, but these no longer exist. Many tutors and students attend church or synagogue in town. FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS The college bookstore on each campus has all the books and supplies the students need for their classes. It also maintains a stock of books related to all phases of the program, and books of more general interest. It is operated without profit. Both campuses maintain computer laboratories for student use, providing free access to word processing and Internet services, including e-mail. PC and Macintosh computers are available in the laboratories. �{ST. 46 JOHN'S Al; supports for an active social life, the college provides on each campus a coffee shop and a rooms for the use of all students. In addition, there are smaller, comfortably furnished social rooms in the dormitories and elsewhere on the campus. DORMITORIES The dormitories form small communities within the larger college communities, helping the incoming students to make proper use of the support that other students can give them in their college life. The Annapolis and Santa Fe campuses have slightly different housing practices due to differences in available dormitory space. Generally, unmarried undergraduates are expected to live on campus, space permitting, and to take their meals in the college dining hall, unless they receive permission from the local housing office to live off campus. Only freshmen are guaranteed housing. The college does not guarantee housing for married students. However, in Santa Fe there are a small number of furnished, twobedroom apartments, that may be available for married students during the academic year. Such students should check with the appropriate Admissions Office about the availability of housing on campus or in the local community. Room assignment is the responsibility of the assistant deans in conjunction with the directors ofresidential life. Returning students have the privilege of drawing for rooms before they leave for the summer vacation. In Annapolis, students are not permitted to remain in residence during winter or spring vacation. In Santa Fe, students ate not permitted to remain in residence during winter vacation. They may remain during spring vacation, although a small fee is charged. {RESIDENCE COLLEGE} DINING RALL The dining halls in Annapolis and Santa Fe are operated by catering services. Vegetarian and vegan menus are available. Resident students are required to eat in the dining hall. INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES Because both of St. John's campuses are small, cohesive, and supportive communities, there is no separate office designated for international student services. The Office of the Assistant Dean handles all aspects of student life and provides counseling and guidance on an individual basis. In addition, each new student participates in an orientation program at the time of registration. The college's registrars act as advisors to all international students with respect to visa requirements and related matters. Informal "F-1" clubs have been formed by international students together with other students, faculty, and staff for special social events, ~ut, in general, international students fmd themselves easily participating in the mainstream of campus academic and social life. CAREER SERVICES The Career Services Office on each campus offers a wide range of programs and ser· vices that include: • individual career counseling • information and assistance in applyin~ to graduate and professional schools information and assistance in applying for scholarships and fellowships • internship opportunities • assistance with resume-writing an other job-search skills • access to a national alumni care network • pre-law and pre-medical advising on-campus career workshops and me ings with alumni & • information and referrals on current career and job opportunities • community service opportunities St. John's remains committed to providing high-quality assistance to students and alumni as they make the transition to activities and pursuits beyond St. John's. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT SERVICES An employment service, under the supervi- sion of the Career Services Office, posts off-campus jobs. Primarily, it provides part-time employment for students during the academic year, but it also can aid students looking for full-time or part-time summer employment in the local community. A Student Health Center on each campus provides a variety of health services for enrolled students. Counseling services are also available on campus. These services are free of charge or provided at low cost. .. RULES OF RESIDENCE Social order and the well-being of each student make necessary certain rules of residence governing the use of dormitories. These rules have been decided upon by the eans in consultation with students and culty. Every entering student is informed them, and returning upperclassmen are ·nded of them each fall. The rules differ certain details on the two campuses, ugh in general they follow the same pat- n. The academic and intellectual life of the mmunity is inseparable from the comal life. The building of a good commurequires the faculty to show respect for individuality of each student. All stuts agree to abide by the rules and regus promulgated in the Student Handpublished annually by the college. St. 's assumes that students will respect only the enacted rules, but also the STUDENT LIFE} 47 community-accepted canons of decent behavior. In extreme cases, where these canons are flouted, the college may require withdrawal of the offending student. The use of illegal drugs and the misuse oflegal drugs, including alcohol, are fundamentally incompatible with the program of study at St. John's College. Students who engage in such activities face severe disciplinary action. PROPERTY DAMAGE The college provides a housekeeping staff to care for the dormitories. The college inspects the rooms periodically and repairs, at the expense of the occupant or occupants, any dormitory room and furniture that have been damaged beyond normal wear and tear. Any damage to college property is charged to the caution fee of the student or students responsible for the damage. The college is not responsible for the loss of, or damage to, any student property resulting from fire, theft or any other cause. �tntt@ ~F 48 ·~ {SITE ANNAPOLIS, PLAN} {SITE PLAN} 49 1\IIARYLAND I Hods0n B{llathQu.se Lower Playing Fields ..........

STUDENT ACTIVITIES CENTER Upper Playing Fields Tennis CourLq Grear Hall College Avenue APARTMENTS �{ADMISSIONS} T he standards by which applicants are selected for St. John's are special, and prospective students find it challenging to write the essays that constitute an application to the college. Those who apply want an education that consists of careful reading and consideration of the most demanding books; of serious conversation in which they will learn to consider the thoughts of others as well as their own; and of active participation in their own education. Education at St. John's is a common pursuit. Each student has a considerable effect on the life and learning of the community. Most who consider St. John's examine themselves carefully before applying so that when they do, they are saying to themselves and to the college that they want to engage fully in the life ofreason and they believe they can take pleasure in it. In writing their application essays, many determine their own appropriateness as St. John's students; others eliminate themselves as applicants, deciding that their interests and those of the college do not coincide. Thus, for the most part, they select themselves. Some are rejected, of course, but a wide variety of students is accepted each year. The purpose of the admission process is to determine whether an applicant has the necessary preparation and ability to complete the St. John's program satisfactorily. The Admissions Committee - five tutors and the Director of Admissions on each campus - regards the application as being a question from the applicant: "Do you think I am ready to profit from the program of studies at St. John's?" In the essays, applicants are asked to discuss their previous education, their reasons for choosing St. John's, and their experience with books. A number of optional topics are suggested. The essays are designed to enable applicants to give a 51 full account of themselves. They can tell the committee much more than statistical records reveal. Next the committee considers the applicant's academic achievement and promise. Previous academic records - the secondary school report and college transcript, if there is one - show whether an applicant has the habits of study necessary at St. John's. Letters of reference, particularly those of teachers, are carefully read for indications that the applicant has the maturity, self-discipline, ability, energy, and initiative to succeed in the St. John's program. St. John's attaches little importance to "objective" test scores, and no applicant is accepted or rejected because of such scores. The committee's decisions are not influenced by the race, religion, sex, age, color, physical handicaps or national or ethnic origin of an applicant, or by any other factors unrelated to the work of the college. The application asks a minimum of personal data. Need for financial assistance does not affect the committee's decisions on admission. St. John's has decided to remain a small college in which the students and faculty are known to each other. Each campus serves about 450 undergraduates. The size of each class is limited on each campus. Most freshman classes are about equally divided between men and women. Classes enter in late August and January. Occasionally, there may be a January class on only one campus. New students are enrolled only as freshmen; typically rn% to IS% of each entering class have done one, two, or even three years of college work elsewhere. These students, despite having good records at other colleges, relinquish their advanced standing to take part in the St. John's program. Freshmen who enter in January stay on campus the following summer to complete the first year. They can thus �{ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} {ADMISSION} 52 graduate a year earlier than_ if they had postponed their entrance until the f~llow­ ing fall. The January class is of particular interest to students who come to St. John's from other colleges, who have traveled or worked since graduation from high school, or who wish to en_ter St. John's immediately after the f~rst semester of their senior year of high school. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION M ..... . ....................................................................................... ost applicants have a strong background in academic subjects. Spec~ic academic requirements m-clude two 1'ears of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a forei1?1 language; additional work in mathematics and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. In addition to the application essays and secondary school report, each applicant must present transcripts of any college work and two letters ofreference, including one from a teacher. In exceptional cases, certain of these requirements may be waived, or additional information may be requested. SAT or ACT test scores are not normally required, but may prove helpful. . Occasionally, St. John's accepts an applicant who is not a secondary school graduate. Such students must be well qualified to profit from the college progr~ and must either submit the results of a nationally recognized test (SAT, ACT, or PSAT)_ or a G~D certificate. A campus visit and mterVIew are especially important in such cases. HoMESCHOOLED STUDENTS r. Homeschooled applicants must submit the results of either the SAT1 or ACT. 2 . They must also submit an outline of t~e curriculum they have followed, arranged 111 chronological order by conventional subject matter, with brief descriptions of the course content and texts used. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS St. John's is authorized under federal law to enroll foreign students. In order to be considered for admission, international students must have followed a pre-university course of study and must submit the following documents: . . l. A completed St. John's application form accompanied by the required essays. 2. Two letters of reference, at least one of which must be from a teacher of an academic subject. 3 An official record of secondary work, ~ith all courses and grades, including the results of the appropriate examina. nons ( e.g. "A" Levels ' International Baccalaureate, and so on). This must be accompanied by an explanation of the grading system used and an English translation ofrecords in other languages. 4. Test results from: a. The Student Assessment Test (SAT1) or the American College Test (ACT)· b. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), ifthe applicant's first language is not English. TEST CoDE NUMBERS St. John's College's test code numbers for the College Entrance Examination Board (SAT and TOEFL) are: Annapolis= 5598; Santa Fe= 4737 . The American College Test (ACT) numbers are: Annapolis= 1732; Santa Fe = 2649 S PROCEDURE t. John's College is one college located on two campuses. Although applications must be initiated and completed at one campus or the other, admission to either campus constitutes admission to the college as a whole. . On inquiry, prospective students receive a statement of the St. John's College program, an application for admission and rec· ommendation forms to be completed by schools and referen~es. Applications may be submitted as early as the second semester of the eleventh grade. Because the college welcomes all serious applicants, there is no application fee. Students should submit their application materials to the Admissions Office on the campus they prefer to attend. Students planning to apply for financial aid should refer to the section on Fees and Financial Aid and notify the appropriate Admissions Office of their intentions as soon as possible. St. John's is committed to maintaining its low student/faculty ratio (8 to l). In order to meet this commitment, the number of students in each freshman class is carefully controlled. Candidates for admission are advised that applicants who meet the suggested deadlines (see below) are in a better position to secure places in the entering classes and early consideration for financial assistance than those who apply Applications for fall classes should be filed as early as possible and preferably no later than March l; candidates wishing to enroll in January should apply no later than December 15. Applications are processed on a rolling basis. As soon as the application essays and supporting documents are received, the application is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. The applicant is notified of the committee's decision in about two weeks. Accepted students have the option to enroll on either campus. Late applications for both fall and January classes will be considered, but applicants are advised that the earlier their files are completed, the greater their chances of securing positions in the entering class on the campus of their choice. DEPOSITS Upon notification of acceptance, applicants have the option to enroll on either 53 campus. In order to secure a place in the entering class, approved applicants must submit a deposit of $300 to the Admissions Office on the campus at which their applications were processed, together with a statement specifying the campus they wish to attend. Once the deposit has been submitted, the campus preference may not be changed except as noted below. Deposits are nonrefundable, except as noted below, and are applied to first semester tuition and fees. Deposits (and signed financial aid acceptance forms, if appropriate) are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the available positions are filled. Typically, the fall classes fill by the first week of May, so while there is ample time to consider offers of admission from other institutions, the earlier a decision can be reached, the better. January classes usually fill by the end of December. Students who submit deposits before the end of the first week of May (for the fall term) or December 20 (for the January term) have a significantly higher chance of securing positions in the entering classes than those who submit deposits later. If the entering class on the applicant's first-choice campus is full when the deposit is received, the Admissions Office will offer the following options: l) the deposit may be transferred to the other campus, provided space remains in that entering class; 2) the deposit may be used to secure a place on the waiting list or in a subsequent class on the applicant's first-choice campus; 3) the deposit may be returned if neither of the first two options is acceptable. FINANCIAL Am The college endeavors to meet the full demonstrated need of enrolling students requesting financial assistance. Of necessity, however, the amount of financial aid available for each class is limited. It is essential, therefore, that candidates apply for both admission and financial aid early. �54 {ADMISSION} Applications for financial aid will be processed for approved applicants on. a first-come first-served basis until the available aid is, exhausted. Therefore, U.S. citizens and permanent residents requesting financial assistance should file the Free Application for Federal Student A~d (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form as early as possible and promptly sup~l! the Financial Aid Office with any additional documentation that may be requested. Non-U.S. citizens requesting financial assistance should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as soon as possible. Students who complete their financial aid applications before February 15 (for fall classes) or September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly higher chance .of receiving all the aid for which they qua.Hf! than those who complete them later. Additional information about applying for financial aid is available on the college web site: www.stjohnscollege.edu. WAITING LIST Once the entering classes are full or the available aid is exhausted, a waiting list will be established in the order in which deposits or completed financial aid.files from approved applicants are received. Positions in the entering classes and frnancial aid will then be offered as they become available. Every effort will be made to accommodate those on the waiting list by allowing them to change their campus preference or to enroll in a subsequent class, as noted above. {ST. lNTERCAMPUS TRANSFER JOHN'S CAMPUS VISIT I .................................................................................................................... Once enrolled on either campus, any student in good academic standing may apply for transfer to the alternate campus for the upcoming academic year. Th.er. must ~otify the Registrar's Office of th err rntentlon to transfer by the third Monday in FebrufilJ'. of the previous year. Those students w~o wis~ to apply for financial aid must also file therr new financial aid forms by March r. All intercampus transfers must be approved by the deans of both campuses and may be restricted by limitations in various campus resources, such as available space and staffing. STUDENT RIGHT TO KNow AcT In compliance with this act, the Office .of the Registrar will provide and make readily available, upon request, completion or graduation rates to current and prospective students. INQUIRIES Inquiries should be addressed to Director of Admissions, St. John's College, P.O. Box 2800, Annapolis, Maryland 2140428oo (Phone: 4ro-626-2522 or 800-7279233; E-mail: admissions@sjca.edu) or Director of Admissions, St. John's College, n6o Camino Cruz Blanca, Santa Fe New Mexico 87505-4599 (Phone: 50598'4-606 o or 800-331-523 2 ; E-ma~l: admissions@sjcsf.edu). The college marntains a website atwww.stjohnscollege.edu t is best for those who are considering attending St. John's to see the college for themselves. It is probably wise to get first-hand advance knowledge of any college one may be thinking of attending, but it is especially wise in the case of St. John's because of its unique curriculUill and teaching methods. While on campus the visitor may attend a seminar on Monday or Thursday evening at 8 P.M.; attend tutorials in mathematics, language, and music; visit a laboratory; be interviewed by the Director of Admissions, a member of the admissions staff, or a tutor; attend the weekly formal lecture (Friday night); talk informally with St. John's students and tutors; visit the library and bookstore; explore the historic town of Annapolis or Santa Fe; attend a movie, play, art exhibit, or concert; or watch students participating in the sports program. Since the seminar, the most important part of tlie program, meets on Monday and Thursday evenings, student visitors are normally on campus from Monday to Tuesday or from Thursday to Friday. If travel arrangements make these time periods impossible, the visitor may telephone the Admissions Office for special help. The calendar in the front of the catalog should be checked to make certain tlie college will be in session during the time of the visit. Those planning to visit should telephone (1-800-727-9238 for Annapolis or l-800-331-5232 for Santa Fe) or write the Admissions Office giving the dates (and alternates) they have selected. It is also necessary for the Admissions Office to know the approximate time of arrival. When the reservation is confirmed by telephone or letter, the visitor will be told the seminar reading. If it is necessary to cancel tlie visit, the Admissions Office should be notified as soon as possible. The only expense for visitors is trans- COLLEGE} 55 portation. They will be provided a room in a dormitory and meals in the dining hall without charge. St. John's students dress informally for tutorials, but more formally for seminar and formal lecture. The seminar readings usually can be located in inexpensive paperback editions in the college bookstore if a visitor has been unable to locate a copy of the book being discussed in seminar. Linens are provided by the college. Visitors arriving weekdays between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. should go to the Admissions Office. On weekends and any day after 5 P.M., visitors should go to the college receptionist. The receptionist is at the switchboard in Pinkney Hall at Annapolis and in Peterson Student Center at Santa Fe. TRANSPORTATION Baltimore-Washington International Airport is located twenty miles from Annapolis. An airport limousine goes to and from Annapolis; visitors are advised to check schedules in advance. Bus service from the airport is not practical. Hourly buses run between Baltimore and Annapolis, and the driver will let visitors off near the campus if asked. Buses from Washington are less frequent and let passengers off on West Street, about six blocks from the college. By car, take Route 50 from Washington; from Baltimore take Route 2 or I-97. Albuquerque International Airport is located sixty miles from the Santa Fe campus. A shuttle service from the airport to Santa Fe is available. Call the Admissions Office for information. Greyhound and Continental bus lines pass through Santa Fe. Amtrak stops at Lamy, N.M., twenty miles from Santa Fe, and taxi service is available to town (reservations should be made with the taxi service one day in advance). Upon arrival at the bus station or at one of the Santa Fe hotels, the easiest way to get to the campus is by taxi. �{FEES 56 & FINANCIAL PROCEDURES AND DEADLINES T he college believes that qualified applicants should not be denied the opportumty to attend St. John's College because of limited finances. St. John's therefore maintains a financial aid program to assist eligible st~de_nts to the greatest extent possible withm t~e limits of the college's resources. Fmancial aid awards are made solely on the basis of need. A. The following principles underlie St. John's financial aid program: r. The primary responsibility for financing a college education lies with the student and the student's parents. The college can offer aid only to supplement funds the family provides. 2 . The ability of a family to meet college expenses is determined by assessing the family's financial strength in terms of income, assets, debts, and number of family members in college. 3. Financial aid may be in the form of a grant, loan, or part-time employment, and will be offered to all students as a package that combines one or more forms of aid. 4. In keeping with the philosophy that students should contribute to their educational expenses, self-help is the first component of a financial aid award. At St. John's, self-help consists of a part-time job and an educational loan. 5. Financial aid is not automatically renewable; rather, students reapply each year they wish to be considered for aid. 6. Students receiving financial aid must meet the criteria for maintaining satisfactory progress in order to retain their award (see page 57). {ST. AID} 7· Financial aid awards are made_ in accordance with the provisions of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of r964 and Title IX of the Higher Education Act of rg8o, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, physical handicap, age, marital status, creed or ethnic or national origin. B. The procedure for U.S. citizens ~d p~r­ manent residents applying for fmancial aid is as follows: Applicants must file the current Fr~e Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In addition, St. John's requires students seeking institutional grant aid to file the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form. These forms may be obtained from secondary schools. the Financial Aid Office at St. John's, or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or )VWW.profileonline.collegeboard.com. To have an analysis of your forms sent to St. John's, be sure to use the correct code numbers. PROFILE: Annapolis=5598; Santa Fe= 4737. FAFSA: Annapolis=oo2092; Santa Fe=oo2093. I. 2 . As part of the application for financial aid, parents and students must provide copies of their most recent Federal Income Tax Return and W-2 forms. 3. Self-supporting students are req~ed to meet the federal definition of mdependence and must comply with federal verification requirements. Independent students must submit parental information in order to be considered for institutional assistance. Financial aid packages for self-supporting students are generally not adequate to cover the full need of such applicants because of funding limitations in both federal and institutional programs. 4 . Recipients of federally funded financial assistance must not be in default on JOHN'S any federal loans received at any institution and must not owe any refunds to the federal programs. 5. Students applying for and receiving financial aid from St. John's are required to notify the Financial Aid Office of any scholarships, loans, grants, gifts, employment or other financial benefits for which they become eligible; any change in their or their family's financial situation; and changes of name, marital status, and address. C. Non-US. citizens applying for financial aid should note the following: COLLEGE} 57 need as soon as possible. The FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's PROFILE form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Applicants should note also that the earlier their aid application is received, the better the chance that their financial need can be fully met. Candidates for admission applying for financial aid after February IS (for fall classes) or after September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly lower chance of receiving all the funds for which they are eligible than those applying earlier. Applications are due by March I from enrolled students who are returning to the college and reapplying for financial aid or are applying for financial aid for the first time. Both the FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Students whose financial aid credentials are received by the Financial Aid Office prior to the March I deadline will be notified of the decision on their application by April I. Students whose applications for financial aid are received after the deadline will not be denied consideration for assistance, but the availability of funds cannot be guaranteed. RETURNING STUDENTS: r. Financial aid for foreign students is limited and competition for it is strong. For non-U.S. citizens, the maximum institutional assistance available is 65% of current tuition, room, and board. In addition to need-based loans and grants, foreign students are eligible for jobs on campus. They are also eligible to apply for summer employment at St. John's, but the availability of jobs cannot be guaranteed. 2. Non-U.S. citizens should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as early as possible, preferably no later than February r5. This form may be obtained from secondary school counseling offices or from the St. John's Admissions Office. No requests for financial assistance will be considered and no offers of financial aid will be made until after a student has been admitted to the college. D. Following are the deadlines and notification dates for financial aid: E. Funds for financial aid awards from the college are available from the sources listed below. JOHN'S GRANTS: Funds for St. Jolm' s grants are provided by the college from its own resources. St. John's grants do not need to be repaid. ST. GRANT: This federal program is designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend a post-secondary institution. Pell Grants are intended to be the first form of assistance in a financial aid package and may FEDERAL PELL Although the college has no deadline for receipt of financial aid applications, candidates for admission who are in need offinancial assistance should indicate that FRESHMAN CANDIDATES: �{FEES 58 & FINANCIAL be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet a student's demonstrated financial need. Eligibility for the Pell Grant and the amount awarded are determined on the basis of the financial resources of the applicant and the applicant's family. No repayment of this grant is required. FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL The college awards SEOG's to incoming freshmen and enrolled students each year. The grants are awarded to students who demonstrate substantial need with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Eligibility for the SEOG is limited to $4,ooo per year. OPPORTUNITY GRANT: FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAMS: This federal program permits the college to give part-time employment to students who need such earnings to pursue their course of study. Students maywork only a limited number of hours per week while enrolled and while classes are in session. FEDERAL PERKINS LoAN: These loans are made by the college directly to students using funds provided, for the most part, by the federal government. Perkins Loans are made available to students with high financial need. The maximum loan is $4,000 for each year of undergraduate study. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the college. The interest rate during repayment is 5%. There is a provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. The Federal Stafford Loan program enables a student to borrow directly from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association, or other participating lender who is willing to malre the educational loan. The maximum amount an undergraduate may borrow is $2,62.5 for the freshman year, FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN: {ST. AID} $3,500 for the sophomore year, $5,500 for the junior year, and $5,500 for the senior year. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is a full-time student. Repayment begins six months after termination of college attendance. For new borrowers, the interest rate is variable, with a maximum rate of 8.25%. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to students who do not meet the financial need criteria for the subsidized Stafford program. Unsubsidized borrowers are charged interest during in-school, grace, and deferment periods. FEDERAL PLUS LOAN: Unsubsidized federal loans are available without regard to financial need to the parents of dependent students. The maximum annual PLUS loan is the student's total estimated cost of education less financial assistance.

JOHN'S BILLING AND DEPOSITS B illing for tuition and fees is done prior to each semester. Unless otherwise requested, the college presents its bills directly to the student. The charges are due and payable in full by August I for the first semester and December r for the second semester. Those who may wish to pay in monthly installments should ask the Treasurer's Office about the tuition payment plan available to St. John's College students and parents. Since determinations affecting students, faculty, and physical facilities must be made well in advance of the beginning of each academic year, the college must know in April which returning students will reg- COLLEGE} 59 ister in September. A deposit of $500 on the fees for the following year is therefore due on or before the second Monday in April for prospective sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the depdsit is not paid, the student may have to be placed on a waiting list; students to whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, academic dismissal or (in the case of prospective juniors) failure to enable. If the student should decide not to enroll in the year for which the deposit was made, the deposit is forfeited, and the student must make a new deposit to secure a place in a subsequent class. �{FEES 60 & {FEES FINANCIAL AID} receive their benefit payments. These arrangements must be made prior to the beginning of the academic year, after having received proper certification from the Veterans Administration or the Social Security Administration. Students with outstanding debts to the college may not register for classes at the beginning of the second semester and subsequent semesters unless they have made appropriate arrangements with the Treasurer's Office. The college may charge interest on all unpaid balances, at rates and on schedules to be determined and published each year. REFUND POLICY DETERMINATION OF DATE OF Each student is required to make a deposit of $~.1.00, called the Caution Deposit, which is used as a last resort to recover unpaid student bills. This fee is paid once at the beginning of the freshman year. If unused, it is refunded when the student leaves the college. Each graduating senior must pay a Commencement Fee of $rno at the beginning of the second semester of the senior year. ·Veterans and Social Security recipients qualified to receive educational benefits may arrange with the treasurer for a payment schedule of tuition and fees corresponding to the schedule on which they WITHDRAWAL A student considering withdrawal prior to the end of the semester may initiate the withdrawal process by notifying the appropriate office of the intention to withdraw. Undergraduate students provide this notification to the Registrar's Office and graduate students contact the Graduate Institute Office. When a student notifies the Registrar or Director of the Graduate Institute of an intention to withdraw, the student will be given a form entitled "Official Notice of Withdrawal." At this point the student has officially indicated OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL: INSTITUTIONAL REFUND SCHEDULE DAYS ENROLLED Summer Fall/Spring & FINANCIAL AID} the intent to withdraw and the day the Official Notice of Withdrawal Form is obtained will be the date of withdrawal used for the calculation of return of Title IV Funds and institutional refund. After a student notifies the Registrar or the Director of the Graduate Institute of an intention to withdraw, the student is urged to discuss the decision with college personnel. A student may rescind the intention to withdraw by not returning the Official Notice of Withdrawal to the Registrar's Office or to the Graduate Institute Office and notifying the appropriate office of that decision. If a student wishes to reverse a decision to withdraw after the Official Notice of Withdrawal has been submitted, the student must provide a written notification. If a student who rescinded an intention to withdraw does not complete the semester, the official date of withdrawal will be the later of the date the withdrawal form was obtained or the last date of class attendance. If a student does not notify the Registrar or Director of the Graduate Institute of the intention to withdraw, the date of withdrawal used for the calculation of return of Title IV Funds and institutional refund will be the midpoint of the semester. A date earlier or later than the midpoint may be used if the college has documentation of the last day the student attended class or handed in an assignment. If a student withdraws because of circumstances beyond the student's control, the college will determine the date of withdrawal.

A student who is expelled or asked to withdraw for academic or disciplinary reasons will receive no refund of tuition, room, and board, or other fees. A. If a student withdraws prior to the end of the semester, a refund of tuition will be made according to the Institutional Refund Schedule. The student's withdrawal date is established as outlined in the initial section of the Refund Policy. C. If the college determines that the circumstances leading to withdrawal are beyond the student's control, the student will be charged for tuition, activity fee, room, and board based on the percentage of the semester attended (number of days 10% 26 and after The next step in determination of the institutional refund is to count the number of calendar days from the first day of classes to the date of withdrawal (weekends are included but scheduled breaks of at least five days are excluded). The schedule on page 60 is used to determine the percentage of fees (tuition, activity fee, room, and board) which will be refunded. The same schedule will be used to calculate the cancellation of non-federal financial aid: the "refund amount" percentage provides the percentage of aid to be cancelled and the "amount charged" percentage corresponds to the revised aid the student will receive. For example, a student withdrawing within the first seven days of school would receive Io% of nonfederal aid that had been awarded. INSTITUTIONAL REFUNDS REFUND AMOUNT I-'( 43andafter 61 �{ST. {FEES 62 & FINANCIAL enrolled divided by total number of days in the semester). The same percentage will be applied to institutional aid. Documentation of circumstances leading to the withdrawal may be required; for example, a letter from a physician will be required if a student is unable to complete the semester for medical reasons. RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS If a student who has received Title IV Funds (federal financial aid) leaves the institution to completion of 603 of the semester, a calculation must be performed to determine the amount of unearned aid that must go back to the Title IV programs. No return of Title IV funds is required after 6o%(approximately 9 weeks of a r6 week semester). The withdrawal date will be established as described in the above Refund Policy. The percentage of Title rv aid which is earned the student (i.e., the amount of federal aid the student is to keep) is the same as the percentage of the semester completed. This percentage is computed dividing the total number of calendar days in the semester (including JOHN'S A1n} week-ends but excluding scheduled breaks of more than five days) into the number of calendar days completed by the student. For example, a student enrolled for r4 of n2 days would have eaTned r2.53 of Title IV aid for the semester. In this example, 87.53 of the Title IV aid would be unearned. The institution is responsible for returning to the federal aid programs the lesser of the amount of unearned Title IV aid or institutional charges that the student incurred multiplied by the unearned aid percentage. Federal :regulations specify the order in which unearned funds are to be returned to aid programs. The order is: r. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans 2. Subsidized Stafford Loans 3. Perkins Loans 4. Federal Plus Loans 5. Pell Grants 6. SEOG Federal Work-Study funds are not involved in this determination: A student may keep money earned through the Federal \Vork- Study Program. If the total amount of unearned aid exceeds the amount the school is required to reutrn, a student may need to return federal grant funds which have been received for off-campus living expenses, up to 503 of the amount received for the semester. Student loans and Plus Loans received for off-campus expenses do not have to be returned at the time of withdravval but must be repaid in accordance with the terms of the loan. The Financial Aid Office will notify a student if a return of federal grant funds is required. Sample cases of refund calculations are available in the Financial Aid Office. COLLEGE} 63 CRITERIA FOR JUDGING SATISFACTORY PROGRESS REGULAR STUDENTS Provisions of the Higher Education Act of 1980 require that each post-secondary institution make available information concerning the criteria for judging satisfactory academic progress. The criteria for St. John's College regarding the determination of satisfactory progress for recipients of federally funded (Title IV) financial assistance are as follows: In order to be making satisfactory progress, at the encl of a semester a student must be permitted to enter the next semester and that next semester must not include the repetition of any work. This permission is normally granted by the dean in consultation with a committee of all the student's tutors, the "Don Rag Committee." The Don Rag Committee assesses a student's work in all parts of the program and approves its quality before recommending to the dean that the student be permitted to enter the next semester. This assessment is conducted in the student's presence by all of his or her tutors in common. At the end of the sophomore year, the dean and the Instruction Committee, with the advice of the tutors, review all of the student's work during the first two years and determine whether or not the student will be allowed to continue. Under some circumstances a student who has not satisfactorily a semester's work may be allowed to repeat the work in order to remain at the college. Students are not eligible for financial assistance (federal or while they are repeating work. Sometimes students are permitted to enter a new semester with the requii:ement that they meet special conditions during the course of the semester. In these cases, a student is not repeating work and is deemed to be making satisfactory progress until the dean determines that the conditions have not been met. When the conditions have not been met, the dean, in consultation with the Instruction Committee, decides what further determination is to be made of the case. �{FEES 64 & FINANCIAL Federal regulations require that an institution set a maximum time frame in which students must complete their educational objectives. St. John's has set eight years as the maximum time frame in which students who are recipients of federal financial aid funds must earn their B.A. degrees. This may be eight years of full- or part-time study. Years in which a student is not enrolled at St. John's will not count in the eight-year limitation. However, years in which a student is repeating work (and thereby not receiving aid) are considered in the determination of years of study. If a student registers for a class in which he or she was previously enrolled for more than three weeks, the class will be considered as repeated work and the student will not be eligible for financial assistance. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the dean in the case of an involuntarywithdrawal due to illness or other mitigating circumstances. Students who are permitted by their Don Rag Committees to enter the next semester with incomplete grades on their records are deemed to be making satisfactory progress and are eligible for financial aid. A student who wishes to appeal a decision regarding academic standing should present a letter of appeal to the Dean of the College. The dean will review the situation, taking into account any special circumstances, and determine whether or not the student is making satisfactory progress. VETERANS/DEPENDENTS In compliance with federal and state regulations, St. John's has developed a set of policies on minimum standards of progress for enrolled veterans or dependents: I. St. John's will report to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) within 30 days all incidents of official termination or change of status that would affect benefits. 2. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} AID} The V.A. requires that grades be given for all classes undertaken and that all grades be considered in computing a grade point average. In Annapolis, a V.A. enrolled student who withdraws from a class after the midpoint in a semester will have a WI grade recorded indicating the quality of work up to the date of withdrawal. In Santa Fe, a VA enrolled student who withdraws from a class after the three-quarter point in a semester will have an F recorded. No credit will be given for withdrawal grades nor, in accordance with college policy, will they be included in the GPA. 3. Minimum acceptable grades of a C average are expected. If a student falls below this average and/or the student's tutors think there is a serious academic problem, the Don Rag Committee will report this to the Dean, who may ask the student to leave the college or may place the student on academic probation and possibly stipulate conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. During that probationary period support and counseling are available to the student. 4. St. John's will inform all VA enrolled students that prior academic credit from post-secondary schools will be evaluated, but prior credits are not applicable to the all-required degree program at the college except in very unusual cirumstances. Prior credit will be granted fur pursuit of the same four-year, allrequired curriculum at the Annapolis and Santa Fe campuses. The award of prior credit by the college will reduce the training time toward the reward of a degree and will be reported to the VA as required. 65 BIBLIOGRAPHY BOOKS ABOUT LIBERAL EDUCATION ADLER, MORTIMER]., and CHARLES VAN DOREN: How to Read a Book, Simon and Schuster, 1972. and MILTON MAYER: The Revolution in Education, University of Chicago Press, 1958.

John's College is a community dedicated to liberal education. Liberally educated human beings, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John's College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great books - texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures - because they express most originally and often most perfectly the ideas by which contemporary life is knowingly or unknowingly governed. These books are the most important teachers. They are both timeless and timely; they illuminate the persisting questions of human existence, and they bear directly on the problems we face today. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not of merely academic concern or remote from our true interests. They change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human questions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treatises, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other. They draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. This conversation, however, is unavoidably one-sided. The great books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To remedy this defect is the goal of the St. John's seminar. Here a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, attempt to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing to submit their opinions to one another's questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. On the other hand, it may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 7 they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety ofits historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are - to help the students make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they face. And it is the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. AB much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic - the arts of language; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy - the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experiment, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. Whatever methods are used, they all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to win knowledge of the world around them and knowledge of themselves in this world and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the wantonness of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. �8 {ST. {THE JoHN°'s COLLEGE} 9 CURRICULUM} THE SEMINAR he heart of the curriculum is the seminar - a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar seventeen to twentyone students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, from eight until ten or sometimes well beyond if the under discussion has aroused a sustained and conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around eighty pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text to be difficult. The seminar with a question asked one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at wilL The is temth e use of formal modes of address. Once the seminar may take nrnny forms. It may range from the most to the most general. The readfor example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and and to bring to the surface the students' and fears about the wisdom or error of national Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and-vice; and on humaniultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an of the assigned staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range over suggested the reading, but bearing only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the In the coffee shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument - an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the use the learn, also, that to some extent the of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under poetry is not . Such progress in together may be crnw11ed sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the of "following the argument," of faeing the crucial issues, or of foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question remains open vvith certain alternatives outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself m irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices which the discussion is alive A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the "right" opinion or interpretation. It is to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections and to help the students in every way possible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instn1ment for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful devi~e of all is the question "Why?" But the leaders may also take a definite and stand and enter directly into the argument. If they do so, however, they can expect no special consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. Consequentall opinions must be defended with reason, and any single opinion can prevail onJy general consent. The aim is always to develop the students' powers of reason and understanding, and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their owR EveTyfreshman, sophomore, and submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their uwn thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becom.es the center of their final oral examinations For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes the major part of the process called enabling (see page 3r). �70 {THE CURRICULUM} THE PRECEPTORIAL F r about seven to eight weeks in he middle of the year the semiars of the junior and senior lasses are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually give~ a choice of sixteen to twenty preceptonals on books or subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer :he_m. Students may suggest a topic and mVIte a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the program, some preceptorials may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more than ten students in a preceptorial. Guide~ by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by the seminar. Usually, the students' work is completed b~ the writing of papers, which may be read m draft to the preceptorial and criticized by the other members. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} Lis~ed below are some of the preceptorial subJects offered on the two campuses in recent years.

By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and writing. Other learning devices must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, around a table, about thirteen to sixteen students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to work together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstration, of an important work. AB in the seminar, students talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and insight to their fellows. Other tutors often attend, seeking to learn about a particular subject that they may later teach. Writing assignments are normally made in all classes: mathematics, music, and laboratory sections, as well as in language tutorials. The students are thus called upon continually to articulate and organize their thinking in both the written and spoken forms. THE LANGUAGE TUTORIAL Specialization in higher education has led to a profound neglect oflanguage skills. AB country is separated from country by the barrier oflanguage, so profession is separated from profession by technical jargon. Primarily, the language tutorial attempts to remedy this condition by training in the 17 means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and ambiguities of terms; to the role of metaphors, analogies and images; and to the logical relations that connect propositions. The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years, and French in the third and fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the students learn something of the nature of languages in general and of their own in particular. During the four years, then, they study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, they study their own language. They discover the resources of articulate speech and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent and effective - if it is to be adequate and persuasive. In the beginning, the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language being studied. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one that is concerned with particular details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work. Those are matters that do �12 {THE {STo CURRICULUM} not come into seminar discussionso The students' concern with them in the language tutorial all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak welL A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar.

The French of the third year begins with a brief, intensive of French grammar followed the reading of a French texto The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reacting of French. Students fluent in French may be from these early stages. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form and content are related to writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of their models. In the second semester a play is read - Racine's Phaedre. The principal of the fomth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal. Its immediate is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantiol basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of langnageo assignments include exercises in translation more ambitious than those attempted in the third yeaL The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T So Eliot, Dylan Thomas, W.

It is then, that students should to dislike mathematics or to think of as unmathematicaL It is regrettable that competent mathematia:re often unaware of the philosopbiassumptions upon which mathematical -~,,n•rn''" and formulas are based. Matheart, not artificially separated fron1 what have come to be called the humanities When mathematics is taught at an unlnu-riecl pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for their and imagination, as it is at St. John's, mathematics becomes not only the most learnable liberal art but also one that provides ready access to others :md significant analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studying mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines ic Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarity with the mathematical methods by which it is managed, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their applicationo It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to students to think about what it means to count and measure in the universe. The second main reason for studying mathematics concerns the mathematics Since mathetutorial more matics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human for learning, its study is especially useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know somethingo 0 COLLEGE} 13 To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problemso By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigm, they ru:e continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are r:.iised dming the V./hy and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? \YJhat is the relation of logic to mathematics? \X/hat do "better" and "worse," "ugly" and "beautiful" signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are the1'e "mathematical objects"? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? means of such questions, which grow out of the work and which excite the intellect and the at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger of the seminar. The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid's organization the mathematical discoveries of his �14 {THE CURRICULUM} the mathematics tutorial at St. John's and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: His work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study Copernicus' transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into helioc en tri c form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an understanding of algebra as the "analytic art" in general. In the third year, calculus is studied both analytically in its modern form and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. This is followed by an examination of Dedekind's theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The students then return to Newton's Principia to take up its treatment of astronomy, in which Newton brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomy with a "dynamic" theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski's approach to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 15 of the geometric art as a whole. Seniors also study Einstein's special theory of relativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. In Santa Fe, the mathematics and language tutorials of the senior year are replaced for part of the second semester with a visual arts tutorial that includes a close study of classic paintings, beginning with Giotto's frescoes and ending with Picasso's Les Demoiselles d:Avignon. THE Music TUTORIAL One of the aims of the St. John's program has been to restore music as a liberal art to the curriculum. The study of music at St. John's is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind's power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the ratios among whole numbers. In particular, the music program at St. John's aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year, students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place primarily by singing, and by the second semester the students perform some of the great choral works. In the sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides continuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoric, and poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial includes an investigation ofrhythm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the diatonic system, a study of the ratios of musical intervals, and a consideration of melody, counterpoint, and harmony. None of these are done apart from the sounding reality of good music. The inventions of Bach, the songs of Schubert, the masses of Palestrina, the operas of Mozart, and the instrumental works of Beethoven are the real textbooks. In the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. �16 {THE CURRICULUM} THE LABORATORY hree hundred years ago, algebra and the arts of analytic geomet-ry were introduced into European thought, mainly by Rene Descartes" This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, morals, and religion" It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural worldo It is a focal point of the Sto John's program and one that the college takes special care to ""'f'''"""°""" There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it" The last two years of the program e¥Jiibit the changes that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the which cover the period from Homer to Descartes, Modern mathematics has made possible the of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is k:nown to us as the laboratory The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast of conceived by the great thinkers of the seventeenth century, They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters" Liberal is concerned with the artifices of the human mind and hand that to our For this purpose, Sto John's has set up a three-year laboratothe natural sciences, wherein characteristic and related of physics, and chemistry are pursuedo There is the art of measurement, which involves the study of the instruments of observation and measurement; crucial experiments are reproduced; the inter- [ST, JOHN'S COLLEGE} 17 ported by the mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques" The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research, It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills, The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the humanities, as iftheywere distinct and autonomous domains of learning, There need not be "two cultures." Different fields of exploration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems from sources common to all intellectual hk THE ORGANIZATION OF THE LABORATORY VfoRK The laboratory program is largely determined by three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the study of science: (r) The formally scheduled exiJentlTI(~nr;ai must be combined with a full and free discussion of the instruments and nrm•·1nlP< involved in it, (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific disciplme to its roots in principle, and observation" Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters are to be selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished critical study (3) TI1e schedule oflaboratorywork should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation" The students must have time to satisfy themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire thus can they come to a mature understanding of the sciences called "exacc" A laboratory section consists of fourteen to sixteen students working under the guidance of a tutor, vvith the help of more advanced students serving as assistants, Sections meet two or three times a week A laboratory session may be used fo:r exposition and discussion of theory, for experimentation, or for both, as the prngress of the work requires, Occasionala laboratory meeting is reserved for the discussion of a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; of Aristotle, Galen, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry" �18 {1:1HE CURRICULUM} LABORATORY TOPICS have been choand biological The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: ISTYEAR 12 20 weeks: Observational biology weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic THE FrnsT YEAR begins with twelve devoted to topics in observational gy: classification of types, structure, cells and their aggregation and embryological opment.

These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the that matter is composed of discrete particles. The student compares the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance and substantial change, and goes on to study and discuss important original texts bearing on the development of the atomic-molecular theory. Experiments are performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the and chemical transformation of which they speak. The work culmiof nates m the resolution of the atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this determination. THE THIRD YEAR The third-year laboratory deals vvith topics common to a number of the traditional div1sions of such as mechanics, and electroniagnetism. Throughout the year, med by the reading of Galileo, Descartes, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, and Ma:h'Well. The mathematical tools of are to be put to work in the laboratory at the same time that then rigorous development is in the mathematics tutorials. As the tools of the calculus become available, the shifts from a duect, qualitative description of force, acceleration, work, eneTgy, and fields to their reformulation in terms of derivative and at the same time, the physical concepts serve to illustrate the mathematical ideas. The concepts of mechanics are to be used to formulate alternative theories of light - corpuscular COLLEGE} 19 and wave - and the success of either theory in accounting for is examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromagnetic theory oflight. THE FOURTH YEAR In many ways, the work of the sen_ior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first ten weeks, the senior up anew the theory of atomism - but the atom itself has become the ect of study.

On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar readings or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students' readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: It inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability ofwhat they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials. Others may have a lasting effect on the direction that students' work takes within the framework of the program. {ST.

JOHN'S LIST OF GREAT BOOKS he list of books that serves as the core of the curriculum had its beginnings at Columbia College, at the University of Chicago, and at the University Since Ig37, it has been under continuous review at St. John's College. The distribution of the books over the four years is significant. More than two thousand years of intellectual history form the backgrnund of the first two years; about three hundred years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understandof the liberal arts; the second year contains books from the Roman, and Renaissance periods; the third year has books of the seventeenth and centuries, most of were written in modern languages; fourth year the reading into nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The chronological order in which books are read is primarily a matter convenience and intelligibility; it does imply a historical approach to the matter. The St. John's curriculum seeks convey to students an understanding the fundamental problems that beings have to face and at all It invites them to reflect both on continuities and their discontinuities.

The title professor is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a ~AAnM,,,-,,"c enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All particiin a class are expected to prepare for studying the text that is of the class - it wight be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wTote from the point of theiT learning. What then is the role of the reacting and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good able to raise issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students, Next, must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulthem to ties of their students and to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding, In summary, the rnle of the tutors is to to listen and to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration o:r but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to themselves. In order that conversations at St, John's will not be limited to what fits mside a single it is essential that St. John's tutors re-educate themselves to acquire increased in those parts of the program that :.J.Te outside their field of post-graduate training.

Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but theiT fiTst duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John's program, This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a part of the program, are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and section, and are continuteaching their colleagues and learning from them. that tutors have time to It is more into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John's than the preparation for classes usually allows.

It also advises the presidents on PVHH.m•crnco to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and twelve tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet throughout the yeaL The full committee meets alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those annual erhaps the most distinctive ark of St. John's College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid's Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles' funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. T THE LIBRARY he books chosen for study at St. John's are collected in the best editions and translations that can be obtained.

A SAMPLE Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods oflaboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students, The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-and- one-half hours to fouxand-one-half hours per week. Freshmen, and seniors up to SL'!: hours each week in the laboratory. Two evenings, from eight to ten, all students attend a seminar. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to nineteen hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of sixteen weeks each. FRESHMAN SCHEDULE, ANNAPOLIS MONDAY HOUR 9:00 - rn:rn A.M.

TUESDAY Seminar Seminar Formal Lecture �30 {THE ACADEMIC ESSAYS AND EXAMINATIONS ESSAYS Annually in Annapolis and each semester in Santa Fe, all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors submit essays to their seminar leaders on some aspect of the liberal arts. These essays are based directly upon books in the program. ORAL EXAMINATIONS Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are held. These are conducted by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of their study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of their classes. For freshmen, the first oral examination of the year is given before the winter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin. ORDER} THE ALGEBRA EXAMINATION Before the second semester of their sophomore year, students must pass an examination in elementary algebra and trigonometry. Review sessions are offered. THE FINAL ESSAY AND ORAL ExAMINATION In the senior year, the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of the four years' work. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at the start of the second semester are reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes. If the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined about it by the committee in an hour-long public examination. No degree is awarded unless both the essay and the oral examination are satisfactory. The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student's learning. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} ACADEMIC STANDING B ecause St. John's classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students' progress from day to day. The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student's total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of ability and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John's is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for grades. Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John's, attendance at all regularly scheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. 31 time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student's work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. LETTER GRADES Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on request. The tutor's comprehensive judgment of a student is reported to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, D or F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has stopped, the student is asked to leave the college. THEDoNRAG SOPHOMORE ENABLING Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a semester, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors meet with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students' work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors' reports and comment on their own work. Advice may be requested and given; difficulties may be aired; but grades are not reported or discussed. In the junior year, conferences replace some of the don rags. In conferences, students report on their own work, and then the tutors comment on that report. By the Sophomore enabling is a review by the Instruction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of sophomores, of the student's learning during the two years spent in the college. The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling procedure. Consequently, no students are enabled to enter the junior class unless they have written a satisfactory essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are sufficiently prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student writing an acceptable senior essay. �32 {THE ACADEMIC THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS lhe student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfacis awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session in three and one-half years, but they spend their first summer in ocu.m1.w:;1cing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum.

More than 75% of St. John's graduates pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with dose to 30% of each graduating class pursuing advanced studies at leading universities across the country. St. John's students consistently score subthe national averages on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Law School Admission Test Most fields of study may be entered cli··~ 0 dvfrom St. John's. Some of the more highly technical fields may require additional either prior to or during the first year of graduate study. St. John's has special programs and relationships 'Arith graduate and professional schools to help fields such as medicine, business, engineering, and teaching. THE ST. JoHN's DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS Tutors who have completed two years of teaching at St. John's may receive a master's degree in liberal arts. They must petition the Instruction Committee for permission to present themselves as candidates for the degree. They must then submit a thesis on a topic approved by the Instruction Committee and stand for an oral examination upon it. The topic must have some bearing on the and practice of the liberal arts, {ST. JoHN's COLLEGE} 33 THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION - - - - h e Graduate Institute at St. John's College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of f.u·ts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, modeled on that of the undergraduate college, have t11VO distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS he aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts (thirty-six semester credit hours). These segments taken constitute a closely integTated program of study. Classes a:re small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which fourteen to twentyone students engage in a discussion initiated a tutor's about the assigned reading. In the tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students (twelve to sixteen) focuses more on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, texts, or dense arguments of or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to engages in the study of a book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty me1nbers are called tutors, not and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than their field of expertise. At least tvvo segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and terms, and four are offered in the summer term. In the fall and terms, classes meet only two in the late afternoons and ing it pvbo.w1e the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order ble with the sequence of offerings. An master's essay may be 1Nritten students who have at least two tenns. In recent years, approximately eighty students have been enrolled on each campus each session .

Its course of study consists of thirty-four semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Santa Fe campus. The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. In the seminar, fourteen to twenty-one students discuss assigned readings from a wide range oflndian, Chinese, and Japanese texts In the tutorial, twelve to fifteen students study either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. The goal is not mastery, but rather sufficient familiarity with the elem en ts of the languages to gain some insight into their structure and to trans- late selected short passages from classical texts, In the preceptorial, eight to twelve students study a single work or theme for an eight-week period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged. �36 37 THE EASTERN CLASSICS CURRICULUM FALL SEMESTER SPRJNG SEMESTER SUMMER SEMESTER CHINESE TUTORIAL CHINESE TUTORIAL SEMINAR Pronunciation and grammar Confucius: Analects* Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching• T'ang Poetry Mencius: Works* SANSKRIT TUTORIAL Bhagavad-Gita • Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra• The Tale ofthe Heike LotusSutra Sei Shonagon: The Pillow Book• Kenko: Essays in Idleness Dogen: Shobogenzo • Basho: TheNarrowRoadtothe Deep North Chushingura: The Treasury of Loyal Retainers SANSKRIT TUTORIAL Gonda, A Concise Elementary Grammar ofthe Sanskrit Language Devanagari script SEMINAR Lao Tzu: Tao Te Ching Confucius: Analects, The Great Learning and The Doctrine of theMean Mo Tzu: Basic Writings ofMo Tzu • Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Mencius: Works• Hsiin Tzu: Writings a/Hsun Tzu• Han Fei Tzu: Writings ofHanFei Tzu* Ssu-ma Ch'ien: Records ofthe Grand Historian* I Ching Rig Veda Brihad-Aranyaka Upanishad Kena Upanishad Mundaka Upanishad Katha Upanishad Ishvara Krishna: Sankhya Karika Tattva-Kaumudi • Patanjali: Yoga Sutra J ayadeva: Gitagovinda PRE C E PT 0 RI AL (examples) Mahabharata (required) I Ching Confucius: Analects Chuang Tzu: Basic Writings Lao Tzu: Basic Writings SEMINAR Kalidasa: Shakuntala, Kumarasambhava and Meghaduta Jamini: Mimamsa Sutra • Kumarila Bhatta: Slokavartika Katha Upanishad Institutes o/Manu Kautilya: Artha-Shastra KamaSutra• Mahabharata Bhagavad-Gita Abhinavagupta: Dhvanyaloka• Jayarasi Bhatta: Tattvopaplavasimha • Asvaghosa: Buddhacarita Majjhima Nikaya • Vimalakirti Sutra • Nagarjuna: Madhyamika-shastra Chandrakirti: Prasannapada Lankavatara Sutra • Guadapada: The GreatKarika on theMandukya Upanishad Shankara: Commentary on the Vedanta Sutras T'ao Ch'ien: Record ofthe Peach Blossom Fountainhead Chinese Poetry• Diamond Sutra HeartSutra Hui-Neng: Platform Sutra ofthe Sixth Patriarch Chu Hsi: Chu Tzu ch 'uan-shu, and Chu Tzu wen-chi PRECEPT 0 RIAL (examples) Rig Veda Upanishads Ts'ao Hsueh-Shin: Story ofthe Stone Ssu-ma Ch'ien: Records ofthe Grand Historian Neo-Confucian Texts Chinese Vernacular Prose of the Ming Dynasty PRECEPTORIAL Murasaki Shikibu: The Tale of Genji (required) FoR ADDITIONAL.INFORMATION To receive a Program Statement containing more detailed information ab~ut ~he Graduate Institute, as well as apphcauon forms, contact us at either of the following addresses: Graduate Admissions Office St. John's College P.O.

In Santa Fe they are organized by the Student Activities Office (SAO), which is responsible for providing instruction and equipment. THE ANNAPOLIS CAMPUS S ince its founding as King William's School in 1696, St. John's has been situated in the colonial seaport town of Annapolis, capital of the State of Maryland. Its population of 40,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the state and of Anne Arundel County; with the training of midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy; with the fish, crab, and oyster industry; and with the sailing and recreational activities of the Chesapeake Bay. The campus of thirty-six acres lies in the historic district, adjoining College Creek, one block from the State House and across the street from the Naval Academy yard. The fifteen buildings include 18th-century historic homes (now classrooms, offices, iµid a dormitory), 19th-century Victorian ~tructures, and 20th and 21st-century buildings designed to complement the older ones. There are eight student dormitories, 'Offering single, double, and triple rooms. The community of students has governed ~elf since 1945 with elected officers and !!legates representing each dormitory and off-campus constituency. The Student ty representatives, called the Delegate cil, meet once a week to hear requests students for funds, to remind students their responsibilities to the college com'ty, and to express student opinion on sTuDENT LI F E } 39 common problems. The Delegate Council also meets with college officials to discuss matters of mutual concern and maintains a Student Committee on Instruction, which works with the Faculty Instruction Committee on academic matters. A Food Committee works with the dining hall manager to develop satisfactory dishes for regular and vegetarian menus. The Gadfly, a student newspaper, provides a second medium for expression of opinion to the community as a whole. Controversy ranges from petty to vital; essays, reviews, and news are included. Energeia, the college's student-run literary magazine, is published annually and contains longer and more polished essays, poetry, and fiction. Students are also welcome to contribute to The College, an official publication of St. John's. Extracurricular organizations at St. John's are generally informal. Some continue year after year, while others spring up and die out as the individual members of the community come and go. Many extracurricular activities grow directly out of the curriculum as students' interests overflow from the classroom. The past years have seen small classes and study groups - some led by students, others by tutors - in harmony, Latin, Chinese, German, the New Testament, Hegel, Leibniz, African-American literature, and selected women writers. Other activities stem from interests independent of the college curriculum, such as astronomy, dance, and the martial arts. A network of PC and Macintosh computers is available for student use in a computer lab. The lab, open 24 hours a day, serves mainly to provide students with free access to word-processing and Internet services. Students can use the lab for writing essays, corresponding byemail, printing out papers written on personal computers, and exploring the World Wide Web. All dorm rooms are wired for Internet access. �40 {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} Theater life is active. The King William Players stage one or two classical plays a year, perform one or two modern works, and produce several one-act plays. Recent productions have included The Winter's Tale, The Nature and Purpose of the Universe, Phaedre, The Midlife Crisis of Dionysus and The Tempest. Every weekend, the student film club presents foreign and domestic films - the classics of cinema art. The selection is eclectic: recent screenings have included Reservoir Dogs, Potemkin, Citizen Kane, and The Seventh Seal. There are also occasional special film series. Music is pursued in groups and individually. Voice and instrumental ensembles train new members and perform at collegia at the end of each semester. The St. John's Chorus has recently presented concerts featuring Faure's Requiem, Schubert's Mass in G, and early vocal music. The college provides practice rooms, including a rock room, and pianos and a music library of scores and recordings. Private study can be easily arranged on campus or in town. Individual artistic expression needs a time for training and a place to work. Per~ manent facilities, such as the art studio, ceramic studio, woodworking shop, photography darkroom, and stage floor,· provide places to develop specific skills, The college's Mitchell Art Gallery special~. izes in circulating exhibitions by artists Of major stature. Recent shows have includ Rembrandt Etchings, Japanese Woodbl {RESIDENCE & Prints, The Figure in 20th Century Sculpture and Space and Place: Mapmaking East and West. Lectures and discussions are scheduled during each show. An exhibit in the spring displays work by members of the college community. There are periodic trips to galleries and museums in Washington and Baltimore; transportation is free of charge for St. John's students. Various artists teaching in their fields of specialization conduct classes in drawing, painting, sculpture, and pottery throughout the year. Materials and tools are furnished without.charge in most cases. Parties, an important part of community life, come in several varieties. The St. John's Waltz Committee arranges frequent parties in the Great Hall, featuring waltzes and big-band swing music. These parties include the Halloween Masked Ball, MidWin ter Ball, Croquet Cotillion, and Commencement Waltz. Rock parties are held regularly in the Coffee Shop by members of the junior class, who also organize Reality Weekend, a festival in late spring. Reality begins with student skits and paro: 'dies, and then provides two full days of picnicking, games, movies, and music. There are Sunday concerts at the coliege, and the Political Forum invites 'ecturers to speak on weekday evenings. apolis itself offers church groups of all ominations, synagogues, concerts, STUDENT LIFE} . 41 plays, historic tours, seafood, sailing, the Naval Academy, hiking, cycling, state government, political work, community service groups, and so on. Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland, both within an hour's drive, offer activities too numerous to mention; the Senior Resident for Student Activities schedules trips to both cities to attend plays and films, as well as for individual explorations. ATHLETICS The college provides an extensive intramural sports program that includes team competition in soccer, flag football, handball, basketball, and croquet, as well as individual tournaments in tennis and table tennis. This highly organized and very popular program, for both men and women, is a mainstay of the college's extracurricular life. Many students abandon athletics when they enter college because they find programs designed for only the select few. At St. John's, they are able to rediscover the joy of amateur athletics in a welcoming setting. Competition between intramural teams is passionate, but good-natured. Students and faculty also pursue interests in fencing (the Fencing Union has regular bouts with local clubs and universities), aikido, yoga, weight training, tai chi, dance, aerobics, and Pilates. Alumni, siblings, faculty, staff, and even parents may participate. Located at the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Severn River, Annapolis is synonymous with water sports. The Hodson Boathouse, one of the lovliest in the mid-Atlantic region, serves as headquarters for an active crew program. Sweep-oar rowing and sculling are very popular activities. The college team practices five mornings per week and competes in intercollegiate regattas. Many Johnnies learn to row just for fun. The college has a small fleet of boats, from lasers to a 22-foot Cape Dory sloop, along with many rowing dinghies, canoes �42 {ST. JOHN'S and kayaks in which students may explore the beauties of the Chesapeake Bay. An annual sail picnic, organized by The Friends of St. John's, provides an opportunity for sailing aboard large yachts. In addition, St. John's has a newly formed intercollegiate sailing team. As a member of MidAtlantic Intercollegiate Sailing Association, the St. John's Sailing Team competes in four regattas per semester in Fjs, 42os and lasers. The sailing team has a dedicated coach and practices several times a week, including weekly scrimmages with the Naval Academy. Croquet, too, has a large following, and each spring a team from St. John's takes on the Naval Academy in a much celebrated match for the Annapolis Cup. Athletic facilities on campus include playing fields, tennis courts, a gymnasium with a racquetball court, a well-equipped weight room, a dance studio, and a suspended running track. COLLEGE} THE SANTAFE CAMPUS I n the early rg6os the college decided to expand its student body. The Board of Visitors and Governors chose to establish a campus in the West, rather than sacrifice the virtues of a small campus. St. John's College in Santa Fe was opened in the fall of r964 in New Mexico's capital, founded in r6rn by Spanish colonists. Its population of 65,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the state and of Santa Fe County; with cultural pursuits in the fine arts, museums, and opera; and with archaeological and historical research. Scientists in nearby Los Alamos do research in nuclear physics and related fields. Neighboring institutions of higher education include the Institute of American Indian Arts, the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Community College, and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Sixty miles to the south, Albuquerque pro- {RESIDENCE & vides the attractions and conveniences of a city of 500,000 people. The campus of 250 acres lies in the southeast quadrant of the city, two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architecture of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of 7,300 feet, overlooks the city and offers superb views of the Cerrillos, the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The campus includes a classroom building, a laboratory, a library, a student center, a music and fine arts building, an administration building, three clusters of dormitories, and ten furnished, two-bedi:oom apartments. A conference services office, dining hall, and student health office are also located in these buildings. Each of the r6 dormitory units on the main campus houses from r2 to r8 students, and the eight dorm suites, which house five people, serve as a smaller com,munity of friends within the college. More half the rooms are singles. The others designed in suites of two or three rooms provide each student with the privacy of sown quarters and, at the same time, companionship with a fellow student. eight dorm suites house five private ms. Students living in these dorms are onsible for all cleaning in their rooms, oom, and common room. The direcof residential life helps students arrange · e with others who share similar opins about smoking, music, and so on in a toryarea. tudents in Santa Fe find it effective to k out problems and ideas on an individbasis with the administration and faculell as through the machinery of a student government, since both the of the college and the form of the proare conducive to informal and direct unication. There are permanent stu- STUDENT LIFE} 43 dent representatives to the Financial Aid Committee, Campus Planning Committee, and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees, which concern themselves with such things as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the artistic, the academic, and the athletic. Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet, and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine Arts Building, the darkroom, and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The college's art gallery, which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists monthly. A student art show is scheduled each year, and awards are given for achievement in pottery, photography, drawing, painting, and making jewelry. The Moon, a student newspaper, provides students in Santa Fe with a medium through which to express their views about both the college and the world at large. Au Verso, a literary magazine, contains essays, art work, poetry, short stories, and photography from students and faculty alike. �44 {ST. JOHN'S Musical performances of many kinds are given by students through the Collegium Musicum. Formed to stimulate musical activity on campus, the association provides members of the college community with an opportunity to perform before small, receptive audiences. Through this organization, students and faculty who play instruments or who sing can find teachers and fellow musicians with whom to study or perform. The St. John's Chorus and the small chorus also give recitals. The college provides numerous keyboard instruments, including two grand pianos and a harpsichord, for student practice and performance. Practice rooms are available in the Fine Arts Building. The St. John's Film Society is organized by students to provide a wide variety of classic and current films for the college community every Saturday night. Many students are attracted to the town of Santa Fe by its crafts, music, theater, and visual arts. Others have participated in tutoring in elementary schools, counseling, working on local church restoration, or other local activities. City buses stop every half hour near the campus, providing economical transportation to town. Most students come to St. John's with definite interests outside the scope of the program and pursue these interests in extracurricular classes and discussion groups, both on and off campus. Informal discussions of contemporary literature, forums on public concerns·, and slide shows on art history are frequent on-campus activities, as are study groups in such languages as Latin, German, Spanish, and Hebrew. Thorne Fellowships give eligible students support toward fulfillment of medical school prerequisites during summer months, during a leave from the college, or after graduation. As in Annapolis, waltz parties, rock parties, and such regular events as the Octoberfest (in the mountains surrounding the COLLEGE} college), the Halloween Costume Party, the Fasching Ball, the Graduation Ball, and Reality Weekend provide occasions for informal gatherings of tutors and students. Reality Weekend includes a talent show, a picnic, and athletic competition. ATHLETICS Like Annapolis, the Santa Fe campus encourages all students to participate in amateur intramural athletics, regardless of their athletic skills. The new athletic center has a full-sized basketball court, two racquetball/ squash courts, a well-equipped weight room, men and women's locker rooms, and a large outdoor equipment room. The student outdoor programs office, the director's office, and a small outdoor resource library are also located at the new center. The college offers students, faculty, staff, and alumni a variety of sports and outdoor recreational opportunities. Student interest usually determines which sports and outdoor programs are offered. There are organized tournaments for basketball, volleyball, badminton, table-tennis, racquetball, squash, indoor and outdoor soccer, and fencing. There are also opportunities to swim and play tennis, softball, and Ultimate Frisbee. The college also supports a Karate-Do program led by tutor Jorge Aigla, 6th Dan. Depending on student interest, extracurricular classes ar offered each year such as Tai Chi, dan aerobics, and self-defense. Outdoor rec ational activities include whitewater can ing and rafting, downhill and cross-coun skiing, snow shoeing, and fly fishing. Outdoor Programs office organizes exte ed river trips each fall and spring in the s rounding Southwest. The neighboring gre de Cristo Mountains provide hun of square miles of forest and wilderness camping and hiking. Students can join St. John's College Search and Rescue 11 and learn back-country skills such as and compass navigation, G.P.A. na {RESIDENCE & tion, wilderness medicine, and technical evacuation. The Search and Rescue Team works under the auspices of the New Mexico state police and averages thirty missions a year. The athletic and outdoor program office provides students free use of sports and outdoor equipment; sleeping bags, tents, fly-fishing equipment, mountain bikes, downhill and cross-country skis and snowshoes are just a few of the items available for check-out. The college does not participate in formal collegiate athletics and there are no athletic scholarships awarded. The emphasis that the college places on the intellectual growth of students and faculty, and the absence of any athletic curriculum should not be mistaken for disdain of athletic endeavors. Despite the rigors of the curriculum, many of our students and faculty .find time to play individual or team sports. STUDENT LIFE} 45 BOTH CAMPUSES RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES The Charter of 1784 established St. John's College as a non-denominational institution. In its early years, there were some ties with the Protestant Episcopal Church, but these no longer exist. Many tutors and students attend church or synagogue in town. FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS The college bookstore on each campus has all the books and supplies the students need for their classes. It also maintains a stock of books related to all phases of the program, and books of more general interest. It is operated without profit. Both campuses maintain computer laboratories for student use, providing free access to word processing and Internet services, including e-mail. PC and Macintosh computers are available in the laboratories. �{ST. 46 JOHN'S Al; supports for an active social life, the college provides on each campus a coffee shop and a rooms for the use of all students. In addition, there are smaller, comfortably furnished social rooms in the dormitories and elsewhere on the campus. DORMITORIES The dormitories form small communities within the larger college communities, helping the incoming students to make proper use of the support that other students can give them in their college life. The Annapolis and Santa Fe campuses have slightly different housing practices due to differences in available dormitory space. Generally, unmarried undergraduates are expected to live on campus, space permitting, and to take their meals in the college dining hall, unless they receive permission from the local housing office to live off campus. Only freshmen are guaranteed housing. The college does not guarantee housing for married students. However, in Santa Fe there are a small number of furnished, twobedroom apartments, that may be available for married students during the academic year. Such students should check with the appropriate Admissions Office about the availability of housing on campus or in the local community. Room assignment is the responsibility of the assistant deans in conjunction with the directors ofresidential life. Returning students have the privilege of drawing for rooms before they leave for the summer vacation. In Annapolis, students are not permitted to remain in residence during winter or spring vacation. In Santa Fe, students ate not permitted to remain in residence during winter vacation. They may remain during spring vacation, although a small fee is charged. {RESIDENCE COLLEGE} DINING RALL The dining halls in Annapolis and Santa Fe are operated by catering services. Vegetarian and vegan menus are available. Resident students are required to eat in the dining hall. INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES Because both of St. John's campuses are small, cohesive, and supportive communities, there is no separate office designated for international student services. The Office of the Assistant Dean handles all aspects of student life and provides counseling and guidance on an individual basis. In addition, each new student participates in an orientation program at the time of registration. The college's registrars act as advisors to all international students with respect to visa requirements and related matters. Informal "F-1" clubs have been formed by international students together with other students, faculty, and staff for special social events, ~ut, in general, international students fmd themselves easily participating in the mainstream of campus academic and social life. CAREER SERVICES The Career Services Office on each campus offers a wide range of programs and ser· vices that include: • individual career counseling • information and assistance in applyin~ to graduate and professional schools information and assistance in applying for scholarships and fellowships • internship opportunities • assistance with resume-writing an other job-search skills • access to a national alumni care network • pre-law and pre-medical advising on-campus career workshops and me ings with alumni & • information and referrals on current career and job opportunities • community service opportunities St. John's remains committed to providing high-quality assistance to students and alumni as they make the transition to activities and pursuits beyond St. John's. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT SERVICES An employment service, under the supervi- sion of the Career Services Office, posts off-campus jobs. Primarily, it provides part-time employment for students during the academic year, but it also can aid students looking for full-time or part-time summer employment in the local community. A Student Health Center on each campus provides a variety of health services for enrolled students. Counseling services are also available on campus. These services are free of charge or provided at low cost. .. RULES OF RESIDENCE Social order and the well-being of each student make necessary certain rules of residence governing the use of dormitories. These rules have been decided upon by the eans in consultation with students and culty. Every entering student is informed them, and returning upperclassmen are ·nded of them each fall. The rules differ certain details on the two campuses, ugh in general they follow the same pat- n. The academic and intellectual life of the mmunity is inseparable from the comal life. The building of a good commurequires the faculty to show respect for individuality of each student. All stuts agree to abide by the rules and regus promulgated in the Student Handpublished annually by the college. St. 's assumes that students will respect only the enacted rules, but also the STUDENT LIFE} 47 community-accepted canons of decent behavior. In extreme cases, where these canons are flouted, the college may require withdrawal of the offending student. The use of illegal drugs and the misuse oflegal drugs, including alcohol, are fundamentally incompatible with the program of study at St. John's College. Students who engage in such activities face severe disciplinary action. PROPERTY DAMAGE The college provides a housekeeping staff to care for the dormitories. The college inspects the rooms periodically and repairs, at the expense of the occupant or occupants, any dormitory room and furniture that have been damaged beyond normal wear and tear. Any damage to college property is charged to the caution fee of the student or students responsible for the damage. The college is not responsible for the loss of, or damage to, any student property resulting from fire, theft or any other cause. �tntt@ ~F 48 ·~ {SITE ANNAPOLIS, PLAN} {SITE PLAN} 49 1\IIARYLAND I Hods0n B{llathQu.se Lower Playing Fields ..........

STUDENT ACTIVITIES CENTER Upper Playing Fields Tennis CourLq Grear Hall College Avenue APARTMENTS �{ADMISSIONS} T he standards by which applicants are selected for St. John's are special, and prospective students find it challenging to write the essays that constitute an application to the college. Those who apply want an education that consists of careful reading and consideration of the most demanding books; of serious conversation in which they will learn to consider the thoughts of others as well as their own; and of active participation in their own education. Education at St. John's is a common pursuit. Each student has a considerable effect on the life and learning of the community. Most who consider St. John's examine themselves carefully before applying so that when they do, they are saying to themselves and to the college that they want to engage fully in the life ofreason and they believe they can take pleasure in it. In writing their application essays, many determine their own appropriateness as St. John's students; others eliminate themselves as applicants, deciding that their interests and those of the college do not coincide. Thus, for the most part, they select themselves. Some are rejected, of course, but a wide variety of students is accepted each year. The purpose of the admission process is to determine whether an applicant has the necessary preparation and ability to complete the St. John's program satisfactorily. The Admissions Committee - five tutors and the Director of Admissions on each campus - regards the application as being a question from the applicant: "Do you think I am ready to profit from the program of studies at St. John's?" In the essays, applicants are asked to discuss their previous education, their reasons for choosing St. John's, and their experience with books. A number of optional topics are suggested. The essays are designed to enable applicants to give a 51 full account of themselves. They can tell the committee much more than statistical records reveal. Next the committee considers the applicant's academic achievement and promise. Previous academic records - the secondary school report and college transcript, if there is one - show whether an applicant has the habits of study necessary at St. John's. Letters of reference, particularly those of teachers, are carefully read for indications that the applicant has the maturity, self-discipline, ability, energy, and initiative to succeed in the St. John's program. St. John's attaches little importance to "objective" test scores, and no applicant is accepted or rejected because of such scores. The committee's decisions are not influenced by the race, religion, sex, age, color, physical handicaps or national or ethnic origin of an applicant, or by any other factors unrelated to the work of the college. The application asks a minimum of personal data. Need for financial assistance does not affect the committee's decisions on admission. St. John's has decided to remain a small college in which the students and faculty are known to each other. Each campus serves about 450 undergraduates. The size of each class is limited on each campus. Most freshman classes are about equally divided between men and women. Classes enter in late August and January. Occasionally, there may be a January class on only one campus. New students are enrolled only as freshmen; typically rn% to IS% of each entering class have done one, two, or even three years of college work elsewhere. These students, despite having good records at other colleges, relinquish their advanced standing to take part in the St. John's program. Freshmen who enter in January stay on campus the following summer to complete the first year. They can thus �{ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} {ADMISSION} 52 graduate a year earlier than_ if they had postponed their entrance until the f~llow­ ing fall. The January class is of particular interest to students who come to St. John's from other colleges, who have traveled or worked since graduation from high school, or who wish to en_ter St. John's immediately after the f~rst semester of their senior year of high school. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION M ..... . ....................................................................................... ost applicants have a strong background in academic subjects. Spec~ic academic requirements m-clude two 1'ears of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a forei1?1 language; additional work in mathematics and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. In addition to the application essays and secondary school report, each applicant must present transcripts of any college work and two letters ofreference, including one from a teacher. In exceptional cases, certain of these requirements may be waived, or additional information may be requested. SAT or ACT test scores are not normally required, but may prove helpful. . Occasionally, St. John's accepts an applicant who is not a secondary school graduate. Such students must be well qualified to profit from the college progr~ and must either submit the results of a nationally recognized test (SAT, ACT, or PSAT)_ or a G~D certificate. A campus visit and mterVIew are especially important in such cases. HoMESCHOOLED STUDENTS r. Homeschooled applicants must submit the results of either the SAT1 or ACT. 2 . They must also submit an outline of t~e curriculum they have followed, arranged 111 chronological order by conventional subject matter, with brief descriptions of the course content and texts used. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS St. John's is authorized under federal law to enroll foreign students. In order to be considered for admission, international students must have followed a pre-university course of study and must submit the following documents: . . l. A completed St. John's application form accompanied by the required essays. 2. Two letters of reference, at least one of which must be from a teacher of an academic subject. 3 An official record of secondary work, ~ith all courses and grades, including the results of the appropriate examina. nons ( e.g. "A" Levels ' International Baccalaureate, and so on). This must be accompanied by an explanation of the grading system used and an English translation ofrecords in other languages. 4. Test results from: a. The Student Assessment Test (SAT1) or the American College Test (ACT)· b. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), ifthe applicant's first language is not English. TEST CoDE NUMBERS St. John's College's test code numbers for the College Entrance Examination Board (SAT and TOEFL) are: Annapolis= 5598; Santa Fe= 4737 . The American College Test (ACT) numbers are: Annapolis= 1732; Santa Fe = 2649 S PROCEDURE t. John's College is one college located on two campuses. Although applications must be initiated and completed at one campus or the other, admission to either campus constitutes admission to the college as a whole. . On inquiry, prospective students receive a statement of the St. John's College program, an application for admission and rec· ommendation forms to be completed by schools and referen~es. Applications may be submitted as early as the second semester of the eleventh grade. Because the college welcomes all serious applicants, there is no application fee. Students should submit their application materials to the Admissions Office on the campus they prefer to attend. Students planning to apply for financial aid should refer to the section on Fees and Financial Aid and notify the appropriate Admissions Office of their intentions as soon as possible. St. John's is committed to maintaining its low student/faculty ratio (8 to l). In order to meet this commitment, the number of students in each freshman class is carefully controlled. Candidates for admission are advised that applicants who meet the suggested deadlines (see below) are in a better position to secure places in the entering classes and early consideration for financial assistance than those who apply Applications for fall classes should be filed as early as possible and preferably no later than March l; candidates wishing to enroll in January should apply no later than December 15. Applications are processed on a rolling basis. As soon as the application essays and supporting documents are received, the application is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. The applicant is notified of the committee's decision in about two weeks. Accepted students have the option to enroll on either campus. Late applications for both fall and January classes will be considered, but applicants are advised that the earlier their files are completed, the greater their chances of securing positions in the entering class on the campus of their choice. DEPOSITS Upon notification of acceptance, applicants have the option to enroll on either 53 campus. In order to secure a place in the entering class, approved applicants must submit a deposit of $300 to the Admissions Office on the campus at which their applications were processed, together with a statement specifying the campus they wish to attend. Once the deposit has been submitted, the campus preference may not be changed except as noted below. Deposits are nonrefundable, except as noted below, and are applied to first semester tuition and fees. Deposits (and signed financial aid acceptance forms, if appropriate) are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the available positions are filled. Typically, the fall classes fill by the first week of May, so while there is ample time to consider offers of admission from other institutions, the earlier a decision can be reached, the better. January classes usually fill by the end of December. Students who submit deposits before the end of the first week of May (for the fall term) or December 20 (for the January term) have a significantly higher chance of securing positions in the entering classes than those who submit deposits later. If the entering class on the applicant's first-choice campus is full when the deposit is received, the Admissions Office will offer the following options: l) the deposit may be transferred to the other campus, provided space remains in that entering class; 2) the deposit may be used to secure a place on the waiting list or in a subsequent class on the applicant's first-choice campus; 3) the deposit may be returned if neither of the first two options is acceptable. FINANCIAL Am The college endeavors to meet the full demonstrated need of enrolling students requesting financial assistance. Of necessity, however, the amount of financial aid available for each class is limited. It is essential, therefore, that candidates apply for both admission and financial aid early. �54 {ADMISSION} Applications for financial aid will be processed for approved applicants on. a first-come first-served basis until the available aid is, exhausted. Therefore, U.S. citizens and permanent residents requesting financial assistance should file the Free Application for Federal Student A~d (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form as early as possible and promptly sup~l! the Financial Aid Office with any additional documentation that may be requested. Non-U.S. citizens requesting financial assistance should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as soon as possible. Students who complete their financial aid applications before February 15 (for fall classes) or September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly higher chance .of receiving all the aid for which they qua.Hf! than those who complete them later. Additional information about applying for financial aid is available on the college web site: www.stjohnscollege.edu. WAITING LIST Once the entering classes are full or the available aid is exhausted, a waiting list will be established in the order in which deposits or completed financial aid.files from approved applicants are received. Positions in the entering classes and frnancial aid will then be offered as they become available. Every effort will be made to accommodate those on the waiting list by allowing them to change their campus preference or to enroll in a subsequent class, as noted above. {ST. lNTERCAMPUS TRANSFER JOHN'S CAMPUS VISIT I .................................................................................................................... Once enrolled on either campus, any student in good academic standing may apply for transfer to the alternate campus for the upcoming academic year. Th.er. must ~otify the Registrar's Office of th err rntentlon to transfer by the third Monday in FebrufilJ'. of the previous year. Those students w~o wis~ to apply for financial aid must also file therr new financial aid forms by March r. All intercampus transfers must be approved by the deans of both campuses and may be restricted by limitations in various campus resources, such as available space and staffing. STUDENT RIGHT TO KNow AcT In compliance with this act, the Office .of the Registrar will provide and make readily available, upon request, completion or graduation rates to current and prospective students. INQUIRIES Inquiries should be addressed to Director of Admissions, St. John's College, P.O.

The college marntains a website atwww.stjohnscollege.edu t is best for those who are considering attending St. John's to see the college for themselves. It is probably wise to get first-hand advance knowledge of any college one may be thinking of attending, but it is especially wise in the case of St. John's because of its unique curriculUill and teaching methods. While on campus the visitor may attend a seminar on Monday or Thursday evening at 8 P.M.; attend tutorials in mathematics, language, and music; visit a laboratory; be interviewed by the Director of Admissions, a member of the admissions staff, or a tutor; attend the weekly formal lecture (Friday night); talk informally with St. John's students and tutors; visit the library and bookstore; explore the historic town of Annapolis or Santa Fe; attend a movie, play, art exhibit, or concert; or watch students participating in the sports program. Since the seminar, the most important part of tlie program, meets on Monday and Thursday evenings, student visitors are normally on campus from Monday to Tuesday or from Thursday to Friday. If travel arrangements make these time periods impossible, the visitor may telephone the Admissions Office for special help. The calendar in the front of the catalog should be checked to make certain tlie college will be in session during the time of the visit. Those planning to visit should telephone (1-800-727-9238 for Annapolis or l-800-331-5232 for Santa Fe) or write the Admissions Office giving the dates (and alternates) they have selected. It is also necessary for the Admissions Office to know the approximate time of arrival. When the reservation is confirmed by telephone or letter, the visitor will be told the seminar reading. If it is necessary to cancel tlie visit, the Admissions Office should be notified as soon as possible. The only expense for visitors is trans- COLLEGE} 55 portation. They will be provided a room in a dormitory and meals in the dining hall without charge. St. John's students dress informally for tutorials, but more formally for seminar and formal lecture. The seminar readings usually can be located in inexpensive paperback editions in the college bookstore if a visitor has been unable to locate a copy of the book being discussed in seminar. Linens are provided by the college. Visitors arriving weekdays between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. should go to the Admissions Office. On weekends and any day after 5 P.M., visitors should go to the college receptionist. The receptionist is at the switchboard in Pinkney Hall at Annapolis and in Peterson Student Center at Santa Fe. TRANSPORTATION Baltimore-Washington International Airport is located twenty miles from Annapolis. An airport limousine goes to and from Annapolis; visitors are advised to check schedules in advance. Bus service from the airport is not practical. Hourly buses run between Baltimore and Annapolis, and the driver will let visitors off near the campus if asked. Buses from Washington are less frequent and let passengers off on West Street, about six blocks from the college. By car, take Route 50 from Washington; from Baltimore take Route 2 or I-97. Albuquerque International Airport is located sixty miles from the Santa Fe campus. A shuttle service from the airport to Santa Fe is available. Call the Admissions Office for information. Greyhound and Continental bus lines pass through Santa Fe. Amtrak stops at Lamy, N.M., twenty miles from Santa Fe, and taxi service is available to town (reservations should be made with the taxi service one day in advance). Upon arrival at the bus station or at one of the Santa Fe hotels, the easiest way to get to the campus is by taxi. �{FEES 56 & FINANCIAL PROCEDURES AND DEADLINES T he college believes that qualified applicants should not be denied the opportumty to attend St. John's College because of limited finances. St. John's therefore maintains a financial aid program to assist eligible st~de_nts to the greatest extent possible withm t~e limits of the college's resources. Fmancial aid awards are made solely on the basis of need. A. The following principles underlie St. John's financial aid program: r. The primary responsibility for financing a college education lies with the student and the student's parents. The college can offer aid only to supplement funds the family provides. 2 . The ability of a family to meet college expenses is determined by assessing the family's financial strength in terms of income, assets, debts, and number of family members in college. 3. Financial aid may be in the form of a grant, loan, or part-time employment, and will be offered to all students as a package that combines one or more forms of aid. 4. In keeping with the philosophy that students should contribute to their educational expenses, self-help is the first component of a financial aid award. At St. John's, self-help consists of a part-time job and an educational loan. 5. Financial aid is not automatically renewable; rather, students reapply each year they wish to be considered for aid. 6. Students receiving financial aid must meet the criteria for maintaining satisfactory progress in order to retain their award (see page 57). {ST. AID} 7· Financial aid awards are made_ in accordance with the provisions of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of r964 and Title IX of the Higher Education Act of rg8o, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, physical handicap, age, marital status, creed or ethnic or national origin. B. The procedure for U.S. citizens ~d p~r­ manent residents applying for fmancial aid is as follows: Applicants must file the current Fr~e Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In addition, St. John's requires students seeking institutional grant aid to file the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form. These forms may be obtained from secondary schools. the Financial Aid Office at St. John's, or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or )VWW.profileonline.collegeboard.com. To have an analysis of your forms sent to St. John's, be sure to use the correct code numbers. PROFILE: Annapolis=5598; Santa Fe= 4737. FAFSA: Annapolis=oo2092; Santa Fe=oo2093. I. 2 . As part of the application for financial aid, parents and students must provide copies of their most recent Federal Income Tax Return and W-2 forms. 3. Self-supporting students are req~ed to meet the federal definition of mdependence and must comply with federal verification requirements. Independent students must submit parental information in order to be considered for institutional assistance. Financial aid packages for self-supporting students are generally not adequate to cover the full need of such applicants because of funding limitations in both federal and institutional programs. 4 . Recipients of federally funded financial assistance must not be in default on JOHN'S any federal loans received at any institution and must not owe any refunds to the federal programs. 5. Students applying for and receiving financial aid from St. John's are required to notify the Financial Aid Office of any scholarships, loans, grants, gifts, employment or other financial benefits for which they become eligible; any change in their or their family's financial situation; and changes of name, marital status, and address. C. Non-US. citizens applying for financial aid should note the following: COLLEGE} 57 need as soon as possible. The FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's PROFILE form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Applicants should note also that the earlier their aid application is received, the better the chance that their financial need can be fully met. Candidates for admission applying for financial aid after February IS (for fall classes) or after September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly lower chance of receiving all the funds for which they are eligible than those applying earlier. Applications are due by March I from enrolled students who are returning to the college and reapplying for financial aid or are applying for financial aid for the first time. Both the FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Students whose financial aid credentials are received by the Financial Aid Office prior to the March I deadline will be notified of the decision on their application by April I. Students whose applications for financial aid are received after the deadline will not be denied consideration for assistance, but the availability of funds cannot be guaranteed. RETURNING STUDENTS: r. Financial aid for foreign students is limited and competition for it is strong. For non-U.S. citizens, the maximum institutional assistance available is 65% of current tuition, room, and board. In addition to need-based loans and grants, foreign students are eligible for jobs on campus. They are also eligible to apply for summer employment at St. John's, but the availability of jobs cannot be guaranteed. 2. Non-U.S. citizens should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as early as possible, preferably no later than February r5. This form may be obtained from secondary school counseling offices or from the St. John's Admissions Office. No requests for financial assistance will be considered and no offers of financial aid will be made until after a student has been admitted to the college. D. Following are the deadlines and notification dates for financial aid: E. Funds for financial aid awards from the college are available from the sources listed below. JOHN'S GRANTS: Funds for St. Jolm' s grants are provided by the college from its own resources. St. John's grants do not need to be repaid. ST. GRANT: This federal program is designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend a post-secondary institution. Pell Grants are intended to be the first form of assistance in a financial aid package and may FEDERAL PELL Although the college has no deadline for receipt of financial aid applications, candidates for admission who are in need offinancial assistance should indicate that FRESHMAN CANDIDATES: �{FEES 58 & FINANCIAL be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet a student's demonstrated financial need. Eligibility for the Pell Grant and the amount awarded are determined on the basis of the financial resources of the applicant and the applicant's family. No repayment of this grant is required. FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL The college awards SEOG's to incoming freshmen and enrolled students each year. The grants are awarded to students who demonstrate substantial need with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Eligibility for the SEOG is limited to $4,ooo per year. OPPORTUNITY GRANT: FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAMS: This federal program permits the college to give part-time employment to students who need such earnings to pursue their course of study. Students maywork only a limited number of hours per week while enrolled and while classes are in session. FEDERAL PERKINS LoAN: These loans are made by the college directly to students using funds provided, for the most part, by the federal government. Perkins Loans are made available to students with high financial need. The maximum loan is $4,000 for each year of undergraduate study. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the college. The interest rate during repayment is 5%. There is a provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. The Federal Stafford Loan program enables a student to borrow directly from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association, or other participating lender who is willing to malre the educational loan. The maximum amount an undergraduate may borrow is $2,62.5 for the freshman year, FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN: {ST. AID} $3,500 for the sophomore year, $5,500 for the junior year, and $5,500 for the senior year. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is a full-time student. Repayment begins six months after termination of college attendance. For new borrowers, the interest rate is variable, with a maximum rate of 8.25%. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to students who do not meet the financial need criteria for the subsidized Stafford program. Unsubsidized borrowers are charged interest during in-school, grace, and deferment periods. FEDERAL PLUS LOAN: Unsubsidized federal loans are available without regard to financial need to the parents of dependent students. The maximum annual PLUS loan is the student's total estimated cost of education less financial assistance. PLUS Loans have a 3% origination fee, a guarantee fee of up to r3, and a variable interest rate with a cap of 9%. Interest accrues from the date of disbursement for all PLUS loans. 2005-06 STUDENT BUDGET' Tuition $32,375 ···························· ................................................................

JOHN'S BILLING AND DEPOSITS B illing for tuition and fees is done prior to each semester. Unless otherwise requested, the college presents its bills directly to the student. The charges are due and payable in full by August I for the first semester and December r for the second semester. Those who may wish to pay in monthly installments should ask the Treasurer's Office about the tuition payment plan available to St. John's College students and parents. Since determinations affecting students, faculty, and physical facilities must be made well in advance of the beginning of each academic year, the college must know in April which returning students will reg- COLLEGE} 59 ister in September. A deposit of $500 on the fees for the following year is therefore due on or before the second Monday in April for prospective sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the depdsit is not paid, the student may have to be placed on a waiting list; students to whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, academic dismissal or (in the case of prospective juniors) failure to enable. If the student should decide not to enroll in the year for which the deposit was made, the deposit is forfeited, and the student must make a new deposit to secure a place in a subsequent class. �{FEES 60 & {FEES FINANCIAL AID} receive their benefit payments. These arrangements must be made prior to the beginning of the academic year, after having received proper certification from the Veterans Administration or the Social Security Administration. Students with outstanding debts to the college may not register for classes at the beginning of the second semester and subsequent semesters unless they have made appropriate arrangements with the Treasurer's Office. The college may charge interest on all unpaid balances, at rates and on schedules to be determined and published each year. REFUND POLICY DETERMINATION OF DATE OF Each student is required to make a deposit of $~.1.00, called the Caution Deposit, which is used as a last resort to recover unpaid student bills. This fee is paid once at the beginning of the freshman year. If unused, it is refunded when the student leaves the college. Each graduating senior must pay a Commencement Fee of $rno at the beginning of the second semester of the senior year. ·Veterans and Social Security recipients qualified to receive educational benefits may arrange with the treasurer for a payment schedule of tuition and fees corresponding to the schedule on which they WITHDRAWAL A student considering withdrawal prior to the end of the semester may initiate the withdrawal process by notifying the appropriate office of the intention to withdraw. Undergraduate students provide this notification to the Registrar's Office and graduate students contact the Graduate Institute Office. When a student notifies the Registrar or Director of the Graduate Institute of an intention to withdraw, the student will be given a form entitled "Official Notice of Withdrawal." At this point the student has officially indicated OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL: INSTITUTIONAL REFUND SCHEDULE DAYS ENROLLED Summer Fall/Spring & FINANCIAL AID} the intent to withdraw and the day the Official Notice of Withdrawal Form is obtained will be the date of withdrawal used for the calculation of return of Title IV Funds and institutional refund. After a student notifies the Registrar or the Director of the Graduate Institute of an intention to withdraw, the student is urged to discuss the decision with college personnel. A student may rescind the intention to withdraw by not returning the Official Notice of Withdrawal to the Registrar's Office or to the Graduate Institute Office and notifying the appropriate office of that decision. If a student wishes to reverse a decision to withdraw after the Official Notice of Withdrawal has been submitted, the student must provide a written notification. If a student who rescinded an intention to withdraw does not complete the semester, the official date of withdrawal will be the later of the date the withdrawal form was obtained or the last date of class attendance. If a student does not notify the Registrar or Director of the Graduate Institute of the intention to withdraw, the date of withdrawal used for the calculation of return of Title IV Funds and institutional refund will be the midpoint of the semester. A date earlier or later than the midpoint may be used if the college has documentation of the last day the student attended class or handed in an assignment. If a student withdraws because of circumstances beyond the student's control, the college will determine the date of withdrawal.

A student who is expelled or asked to withdraw for academic or disciplinary reasons will receive no refund of tuition, room, and board, or other fees. A. If a student withdraws prior to the end of the semester, a refund of tuition will be made according to the Institutional Refund Schedule. The student's withdrawal date is established as outlined in the initial section of the Refund Policy. C. If the college determines that the circumstances leading to withdrawal are beyond the student's control, the student will be charged for tuition, activity fee, room, and board based on the percentage of the semester attended (number of days 10% 26 and after The next step in determination of the institutional refund is to count the number of calendar days from the first day of classes to the date of withdrawal (weekends are included but scheduled breaks of at least five days are excluded). The schedule on page 60 is used to determine the percentage of fees (tuition, activity fee, room, and board) which will be refunded. The same schedule will be used to calculate the cancellation of non-federal financial aid: the "refund amount" percentage provides the percentage of aid to be cancelled and the "amount charged" percentage corresponds to the revised aid the student will receive. For example, a student withdrawing within the first seven days of school would receive Io% of nonfederal aid that had been awarded. INSTITUTIONAL REFUNDS REFUND AMOUNT I-'( 43andafter 61 �{ST. {FEES 62 & FINANCIAL enrolled divided by total number of days in the semester). The same percentage will be applied to institutional aid. Documentation of circumstances leading to the withdrawal may be required; for example, a letter from a physician will be required if a student is unable to complete the semester for medical reasons. RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS If a student who has received Title IV Funds (federal financial aid) leaves the institution to completion of 603 of the semester, a calculation must be performed to determine the amount of unearned aid that must go back to the Title IV programs. No return of Title IV funds is required after 6o%(approximately 9 weeks of a r6 week semester). The withdrawal date will be established as described in the above Refund Policy. The percentage of Title rv aid which is earned the student (i.e., the amount of federal aid the student is to keep) is the same as the percentage of the semester completed. This percentage is computed dividing the total number of calendar days in the semester (including JOHN'S A1n} week-ends but excluding scheduled breaks of more than five days) into the number of calendar days completed by the student. For example, a student enrolled for r4 of n2 days would have eaTned r2.53 of Title IV aid for the semester. In this example, 87.53 of the Title IV aid would be unearned. The institution is responsible for returning to the federal aid programs the lesser of the amount of unearned Title IV aid or institutional charges that the student incurred multiplied by the unearned aid percentage. Federal :regulations specify the order in which unearned funds are to be returned to aid programs. The order is: r. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans 2. Subsidized Stafford Loans 3. Perkins Loans 4. Federal Plus Loans 5. Pell Grants 6. SEOG Federal Work-Study funds are not involved in this determination: A student may keep money earned through the Federal \Vork- Study Program. If the total amount of unearned aid exceeds the amount the school is required to reutrn, a student may need to return federal grant funds which have been received for off-campus living expenses, up to 503 of the amount received for the semester. Student loans and Plus Loans received for off-campus expenses do not have to be returned at the time of withdravval but must be repaid in accordance with the terms of the loan. The Financial Aid Office will notify a student if a return of federal grant funds is required. Sample cases of refund calculations are available in the Financial Aid Office. COLLEGE} 63 CRITERIA FOR JUDGING SATISFACTORY PROGRESS REGULAR STUDENTS Provisions of the Higher Education Act of 1980 require that each post-secondary institution make available information concerning the criteria for judging satisfactory academic progress. The criteria for St. John's College regarding the determination of satisfactory progress for recipients of federally funded (Title IV) financial assistance are as follows: In order to be making satisfactory progress, at the encl of a semester a student must be permitted to enter the next semester and that next semester must not include the repetition of any work. This permission is normally granted by the dean in consultation with a committee of all the student's tutors, the "Don Rag Committee." The Don Rag Committee assesses a student's work in all parts of the program and approves its quality before recommending to the dean that the student be permitted to enter the next semester. This assessment is conducted in the student's presence by all of his or her tutors in common. At the end of the sophomore year, the dean and the Instruction Committee, with the advice of the tutors, review all of the student's work during the first two years and determine whether or not the student will be allowed to continue. Under some circumstances a student who has not satisfactorily a semester's work may be allowed to repeat the work in order to remain at the college. Students are not eligible for financial assistance (federal or while they are repeating work. Sometimes students are permitted to enter a new semester with the requii:ement that they meet special conditions during the course of the semester. In these cases, a student is not repeating work and is deemed to be making satisfactory progress until the dean determines that the conditions have not been met. When the conditions have not been met, the dean, in consultation with the Instruction Committee, decides what further determination is to be made of the case. �{FEES 64 & FINANCIAL Federal regulations require that an institution set a maximum time frame in which students must complete their educational objectives. St. John's has set eight years as the maximum time frame in which students who are recipients of federal financial aid funds must earn their B.A. degrees. This may be eight years of full- or part-time study. Years in which a student is not enrolled at St. John's will not count in the eight-year limitation. However, years in which a student is repeating work (and thereby not receiving aid) are considered in the determination of years of study. If a student registers for a class in which he or she was previously enrolled for more than three weeks, the class will be considered as repeated work and the student will not be eligible for financial assistance. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the dean in the case of an involuntarywithdrawal due to illness or other mitigating circumstances. Students who are permitted by their Don Rag Committees to enter the next semester with incomplete grades on their records are deemed to be making satisfactory progress and are eligible for financial aid. A student who wishes to appeal a decision regarding academic standing should present a letter of appeal to the Dean of the College. The dean will review the situation, taking into account any special circumstances, and determine whether or not the student is making satisfactory progress. VETERANS/DEPENDENTS In compliance with federal and state regulations, St. John's has developed a set of policies on minimum standards of progress for enrolled veterans or dependents: I. St. John's will report to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) within 30 days all incidents of official termination or change of status that would affect benefits. 2. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} AID} The V.A. requires that grades be given for all classes undertaken and that all grades be considered in computing a grade point average. In Annapolis, a V.A. enrolled student who withdraws from a class after the midpoint in a semester will have a WI grade recorded indicating the quality of work up to the date of withdrawal. In Santa Fe, a VA enrolled student who withdraws from a class after the three-quarter point in a semester will have an F recorded. No credit will be given for withdrawal grades nor, in accordance with college policy, will they be included in the GPA. 3. Minimum acceptable grades of a C average are expected. If a student falls below this average and/or the student's tutors think there is a serious academic problem, the Don Rag Committee will report this to the Dean, who may ask the student to leave the college or may place the student on academic probation and possibly stipulate conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. During that probationary period support and counseling are available to the student. 4. St. John's will inform all VA enrolled students that prior academic credit from post-secondary schools will be evaluated, but prior credits are not applicable to the all-required degree program at the college except in very unusual cirumstances. Prior credit will be granted fur pursuit of the same four-year, allrequired curriculum at the Annapolis and Santa Fe campuses. The award of prior credit by the college will reduce the training time toward the reward of a degree and will be reported to the VA as required. 65 BIBLIOGRAPHY BOOKS ABOUT LIBERAL EDUCATION ADLER, MORTIMER]., and CHARLES VAN DOREN: How to Read a Book, Simon and Schuster, 1972. and MILTON MAYER: The Revolution in Education, University of Chicago Press, 1958.

The students' concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign language, but the students can reasonably expect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they study. To experience the individuality of another language is to extend the boundaries of one's sensibility. The choice of foreign languages is in part dictated by the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary. Latin and German might be used without changing the pattern and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes well with the freshman seminar and mathematics tutorial, and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of the first. The second year ends with analysis and discussion of works by Shakespeare, Donne, and other English poets. The French of the third year begins with a brief, intensive study of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading of simple French. Students already fluent in French may be exempted from these early stages. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form and content are related to appropriate writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of their models. In the second semester a playisread- rtacine'sPhaedre. The principal activity of the fourth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal. Its immediate object is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of language. Writing assignments include exercises in translation more ambitious than those attempted in the third year. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} THE MATHEMATICS TUTORIAL Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested by the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning "to learn." It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathematical. Itis equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John's is studied as a liberal art, not artificially separated from what have come to be called the humanities. When mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for their elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John's, mathematics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal art but also one that provides ready access to others and significant analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studying mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines it. Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarity with the mathematical methods by which it is managed, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their application. It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to help students to think about what it means to count and measure things in the universe. The second main reason for studying mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically. Since mathematics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human capacity for learning, its study is especially useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know something. 13 To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? What is the relation oflogic to mathematics? What do "better" and "worse," "ugly" and "beautiful" signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are there "mathematical objects"? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid's organization of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects - its central expression found in the theory of ratios - which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy's Almagest, centering their attention on the problem of "hypotheses" constructed to "save the appearances" in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between �14 {THE CURRICULUM} the mathematics tutorial at St. John's and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: His work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study Copernicus' transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into heliocentric form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an understanding of algebra as the "analytic art" in general. In the third year, calculus is studied both analytically in its modern form and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. This is followed by an examination of Dedekind's theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The students then return to Newton's Principia to take up its treatment of astronomy, in which Newton brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomywith a "dynamic" theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski's approach to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 15 of the geometric art as a whole. Seniors also study Einstein's special theory of relativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. In Santa Fe, the mathematics and language tutorials of the senior year are replaced for part of the second semester with a visual arts tutorial that includes a close study of classic paintings, beginning with Giotto's frescoes and ending with Picasso'sLes Demoiselles d'Avignon. THE Music TUTORIAL One of the aims of the St. John's program has been to restore music as a liberal art to the curriculum. The study of music at St. John's is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a BJ.ace among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind's power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the ratios among whole numbers. In particular, the music program at St. John's aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year, students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place primarily by singing, and by the second semester the students perform some of the great choral works. In the sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides continuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoric, and poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial includes an investigation of rhythm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the diatonic system, a study of the ratios of musical intervals, and a consideration of melody, counterpoint, and harmony. None of these are done apart from the sounding reality of good music. The inventions of Bach, the songs of Schubert, the masses of Palestrina, the operas of Mozart, and the instrumental works of Beethoven are the real textbooks. In the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. �16 {THE CURRICULUM} {ST.

On evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an connector it may open up a new field of interest and test the students' readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar or space science, fields: in m or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infreare members of the St. John's from the academic world or from the arena of affairs; may be poets or anists. Sometimes a concert a lecture. The lecture is followed a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning the students, with the participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar.

Bernoulli Faraday Maxwell 0rsted Ampere Mozart Mendel Wagner J. J. Thomson Bohr Millikan Schrodinger Darwin Freud Einstein Heisenberg Watson & Crick Jacob&Monod A t St. John's, the teaching members of the faculty are called tutors. The title professor is avoided to signify that it is not the chiefrole of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying the text that is the principal teacher of the class - it might be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wrote from the high point of their learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the tutors is to question, to listen and to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration or explanation, but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to help themselves. In order that conversations at St. John's will not be limited to what fits neatly inside a single discipline, it is essential that St. John's tutors re-educate themselves to acquire increased understanding in those parts of the program that are outside their field of post-graduate training. For example, tutors with advanced degrees in mathematics would prepare ORDER} 27 themselves to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage of this for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not parry their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. There are no departments! The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John's program. This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and they are continually teaching their colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John's than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up. Leaders of such groups are sometimes relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by themselves or the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John's curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John's. �28 {THE ACADEMIC THE INSTRUCTION COMMITTEE THE LIBRARY T he books chosen for study at St. John's are collected in the best editions and translations that can be obtained. These works form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes serving as secondary sources and representative works in the major fields of learning. Holdings are most extensive in philosophy, literature, and the history of science. The library also provides newspapers and periodicals, audio-visual materials, multiple copies of some seminar readings, and other smaller collections. A faculty committee assists the librarians with collection development. The Greenfield Library in Annapolis houses a collection of approximately xoo,ooo volumes. The library building, renovated in x996, provides comfortable study spaces as well as computer terminals with access to the catalogue, other JOHN'S SCHEDULES P T he Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the presidents on appointments to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and twelve tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year. The full committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those annual meetings. {ST. ORDER} library databases, and the Internet. The Music Library in Mellon Hall contains scores and recorded music. The Faith and John Meem Library opened in Santa Fe in x990. The library now contains more than 65,000 volumes, and offers a variety of study areas designed to accommodate up to half of the student body at a given time, including two 24-hour study rooms, and a music room with listening carrels and more than 8,ooo compact disks, records, and tapes. The library also provides public terminals for accessing electronic resources and the Internet. Both libraries hold interesting special collections, including several hundred early or first editions of works read in the program. Annapolis has the Bray Collection, dating from x696 and known as the "first public library in America," as well as the Prettyman Collection of signed and inscribed books. The Witter Bynner Collection and the Edgar Allen Poe Collection in Santa Fe contain first editions of each poet, as well as other belles lettres. In addition, the Santa Fe library contains a faculty and alumni publications collection and the Holtzman Music Collection. erhaps the most distinctive mark of St. John's College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid's Elem,ents; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles' funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. A SAMPLE Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods of laboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-andone-half hours to four-and-one-half hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six hours each week in the laboratory. Two evenings, from eight to ten, all students attend a seminar. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to nineteen hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of sixteen weeks each.

The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student's total performance as a member of the tutorials and sermnar. It is assumed that each student has the required to pu:rsue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The cuniculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide :range of and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John's is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and for grades. Because student is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John's, attendance at all regscheduled college exercises is A record of absences is kept. Tlus record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. COLLEGE} 31 time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student's work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met ifthe student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary is one semester. LETTER GRADES Students are encouraged not to work for but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central Students are told their grades on request. The tutor's comprehensive judgment of a student is to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, D or F, where C indicates that the work is at a level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has the student is asked to leave the college. THE DoN RAG SOPHOMORE ENABLING Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a , and meet ·with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students' work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors' reports and comment on their ffWn work. Advice may be and given; difficulties may be aired; but g:rades are not reported or discussed. In the junior year, conferences some of the don rags. In conferences, students report on their own work, and then the tutors comment on that report. the Sophomore is a review the In;truction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of of the student's during the two years spent in the college. The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling pron o students are class unless they have written a essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student an acceptable senior essay. �32 {THE ACADEMIC THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS T he student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfactorily is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, but they spend their first summer in completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John's seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately one hundred thirty-four semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN'S I n a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John's alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John's graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 2r.9% are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • r8.8% are in communications or the arts; • r7.3% are in business or business-related occupations; {ST. ORDER} • 9.7% work in the field oflaw, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 9.4% work in computers/sciences/mathematics; • 6.9% work in the health professions, mainly as physicians; • 6.6% work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry. • 9.4% choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreign service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ecology. More than 75% of St. John's graduates pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with close to 30% of each graduating class pursuing advanced studies at leading universities across the country. St. John's students consistently score substantially above the national averages on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Most fields of study may be entered directly from St. John's. Some of the more highly technical fields may require additional preparation, either prior to or during the first year of graduate study. St. John's has developed special programs and relationships with specific graduate and professional schools to help entry into fields such as medicine, business, engineering, and teaching. THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS Tutors who have completed two years of teaching at St. John's may receive a master's degree in liberal arts. They must petition the Instruction Committee for permission to present themselves as candidates for the degree. They must then submit a thesis on a topic approved by the Instruction Committee and stand for an oral examination upon it. The topic must have some bearing on the understanding and practice of the liberal arts. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 33 THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION T he Graduate Institute at St. John's College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, modeled on that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes a~e conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS T he aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theolof!?f, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts degree (thirty-six semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely integrated program of study. Classes are small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which fourteen to twentyone students engage in a discussion initiated by a tutor's question about the assigned reading. In the tutorial, a slightly Smaller group of students (twelve to sixteen) focuses more intensively on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and spring terms, and usually four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master's essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately sixty to eighty students have been enrolled on each campus during each session. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools. �35 34 THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM''" DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS PRECEPTORIAL (examples) SEMINAR Homer: Iliad, Odyssey Aeschylus: Agameninon, Choephoroe, Eumenides Sophocles: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone Euripides: Hippolytns, Bacchae, Electra Aristophanes: Frogs PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Montesquieu: The Spirit of the Laws Shakespeme: The history plays Smith: The Wealth a/Nations Aristotle: On the Soul Heidegg·er: Selected Works Spinoza: Ethics Wittgenstein: Philosophical Hegel: The Philosophy ofRight Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zaratlzustra IV1ATHEMATIC5 AND NATURAL SCIENCE SEMINAR TUTORIAL Plato: Chaucer: Canterbury Tales in Middle English' Shakespeare: King Lear Aristotle: Poetics Selected English lyric poetry Lucretius: On the Nature a/Things Aristotle: Physics' Ptolemy: Almagest* Gahleo: Dialogue 011 the Two Chief World Systems* Dan'Vin: The Ongin a/Species* Freud: Selected Works PRECEPT 0 RI AL (examples) Investigations Rousseau: Emile Timaeus~ HISTORY the French Revolution,_ TUTORIAL Euclid: Elements* Lobachevski: The T/ze01y of Parallels* PRECEPTORIAL (examples) Pouncs AND Socrnr1 SEMINAR Plutarch: "Lycurgus" and "Solon" Plato: Republic Aristotle: Politics*· IVIachiavelli: The Prince Locke: Second Treatise of Civil Government Rousseau: On the Origin and Foundations ofInequality l\1arx: The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844-·· Tocqueville: Democracy in America·' Axistotle: J\Ticomachean Ethics:/· Thmnas Aquinas: Treatise on Law;.

JOHN'S COLLEGE} {RESIDENCE & STUDENT LIFE} 43 The college has a small fleet of sailboats, from lasers to a 24-foot Bristol sloop, along with many rowing dinghies, canoes and kayaks in which students may explore the beauties of the Chesapeake. An annual Sail Picnic, organized by The Friends of St. John's, provides an opportunity for students to sail aboard large yachts. Croquet, too, has a large following, and each spring a team from St. John's takes on the Naval Academy in a much celebrated match for the Annapolis Cup. Athletic facilities on campus include playing fields, tennis courts, a gymnasium with a racquetball court, a well-equipped weight room, a dance studio, and a suspended running track. THE SANTA FE CAMPUS I n the early Ig6os the college decided to expand its student body. The Board of Visitors and Governors chose to establish a second campus in the West, rather than sacrifice the virtues of a small campus. St. John's College in Santa Fe was opened in the fall of Ig64 in New Mexico's capital, founded in I6rn by Spanish colonists. Its population of 65,000 people is occupied principallywith the government of the state and of Santa Fe County; with cultural pursuits in the fine arts, museums, and opera; and with archaeological and historical research. Scientists in nearby Los Alamos do research in nuclear physics and related fields. Neighboring institutions of higher education include the Institute of Ameri- can Indian Arts, the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Community College, and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Sixty miles to the south, Albuquerque provides the attractions and conveniences of a city of 500,000 people. The campus of 250 acres lies in the southeast quadrant of the city, two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architecture of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of 7,300 feet, overlooks the city and offers superb views of the Cerrillos, the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The campus includes a classroom building, a laboratory, a library, a student center, a music and fine arts building, an administration building, three clusters of dormitories, and ten furnished, two-bedroom apartments. A conference services office, dining hall, and student health office are also located in these buildings. Each of the I6 dormitory units on the main campus houses from I2 to I8 students, and the eight dorm suites, which house five people, serve as a smaller community of friends within the college. More than half the rooms are singles. The others are designed in suites of two or three rooms to provide each student with the privacy of his own quarters and, at the same time, close companionship with a fellow student. The eight dorm suites house five private rooms. Students living in these dorms are responsible for all cleaning in their rooms, bathroom, and common room. The director of residential life helps students arrange to live with others who share similar opinions about smoking, music, and so on in a dormitory area. Students in Santa Fe find it effective to work out problems and ideas on an individual basis with the administration and faculty, as well as through the machinery of a formal student government, since both the size of the college and the form of the program are conducive to informal and direct communication. There are permanent student representatives to the Financial Aid Committee, Campus Planning Committee, and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees, which concern themselves with such things as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular acrivities, including the artistic, the academic, and the athletic. Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet, and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine Arts Building, the darkroom, and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The college's art gallery, which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists monthly. A student art show is scheduled each year, and awards are given for achievement in pottery, photography, drawing, painting, and making jewelry. The Moon, a student newspaper, provides students in Santa Fe with a medium through which to express their views about both the college and the world at large. Au Verso, a literary magazine, �44 {ST. JOHN'S contains essays, art work, poetry, short stories, and photography from students and faculty alike. Musical performances of many kinds are given by students through the Collegium Musicum. Formed to stimulate musical activity on campus, the association provides members of the college community with an opportunity to perform before small, receptive audiences. Through this organization, students and faculty who play instruments or who sing can find teachers and fellow musicians with whom to study or perform. The St. John's Chorus and the small chorus also give recitals. The college provides numerous keyboard instruments, including two grand pianos and a harpsichord, for student practice and performance. Practice rooms are available in the Fine Arts Building. The St. John's Film Society is organized by students to provide a wide variety of classic and current films for the college community every Saturday night. Many students are attracted to the town of Santa Fe by its crafts, music, theater, and visual arts. Others have participated in tutoring in elementary schools, counseling, working on local church restoration, or other local activities. City buses stop every half hour near the campus, providing economical transportation to town. Most students come to St. John's with definite interests outside the scope of the program and pursue these interests in extracurricular classes and discussion groups, both on and off campus. Informal discussions of contemporary literature, forums on public concerns, and slide shows on art history are frequent on-campus activities, as are study groups in such languages as Latin, German, Spanish, and Hebrew. Thorne Fellowships give eligible students support toward fulfillment of medical school prerequisites during summer months, during a leave from the coll~, or after graduation. COLLEGE} AB in Annapolis, waltz parties, rock parties, and such regular events as the Octoberfest (in the mountains surrounding the college), the Halloween Costume Party, the Fasching Ball, the Graduation Ball, and Reality Weekend provide occasions for informal gatherings of tutors and students. Reality Weekend includes a talent show, a picnic, and athletic competition. ATHLETICS Like Annapolis, the Santa Fe campus encourages all students to participate in amateur intramural athletics, regardless of their athletic skills. The new athletic center has a full-sized basketb,all court, two racquetball/squash courts, a wellequipped weight room, men and women's locker rooms, and a large outdoor equipment room. The student outdoor programs office, the director's office, and a small outdoor resource library are also located at the new center. The college offers students, faculty, staff, and alumni a variety of sports and outdoor recreational opportunities. Student interest usually determines which sports and outdoor programs are offered. There are organized tournaments for basketball, volleyball, badminton, table-tennis, racquetball, squash, indoor and outdoor soccer, and fencing. There are also opportunities to swim and play tennis, softball, and Ultimate Frisbee. The college also supports a Karate-Do program led by tutor Jorge Aigla, 6th Dan. Depending on student interest, extracurricular classes are offered each year such as Tai Chi, dance, aerobics, and self-defense. Outdoor recreational activities include whitewater canoeing and rafting, downhill and cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, and fly fishing. The Outdoor Programs office organizes extended river trips each fall and spring in the surrounding Southwest. The neighboring Sangre de Cristo Mountains provide hundreds of square miles of forest and wilderness for {RESIDENCE & camping and hiking. Students can join the St. John's College Search and Rescue Team and learn back-country skills such as map and compass navigation, G.P.A. navigation, wilderness medicine, and technical evacuation. The Search and Rescue Team works under the auspices of the New Mexico state police and averages thirty missions a year. The athletic and outdoor program office provides students free use of sports and outdoor equipment; sleeping bags, tents, fly-fishing equipment, mountain bikes, downhill and cross-country skis and snowshoes are just a few of the items available for check-out. The college does not participate in formal collegiate athletics and there are no athletic scholarships awarded. The emphasis that the college places on the intellectual growth of students and faculty, and the absence of any athletic curriculum should not be mistaken for disdain of athletic endeavors. Despite the rigors of STUDENT LIFE} 45 the curriculum, many of our students and faculty find time to play individual or team sports. BOTH CAMPUSES RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES The Charter ofr784 established St. John's College as a non-denominational institution. In its early years, there were some ties with the Protestant Episcopal Church, but these no longer exist. Many tutors and students attend church or synagogue in town. It is customary for extracurricular Bible classes to be conducted bytutors of the college. FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS The college bookstore on each campus has all the books and supplies the students need for their classes. It also maintains a stock of books related to all phases of the program, and books of more gen er- �{RESIDENCE 46 {ST. JOHN'S al interest. It is operated without profit. Both campuses maintain computer laboratories for student use, providing free access to word processing and Internet services, including e-mail. PC and Macintosh computers are available in the laboratories. AB supports for an active social life, the college provides on each campus a coffee shop and a junior common room for the use of all students. In addition, there are smaller, comfortably furnished social rooms in the dormitories and elsewhere on the campus. DORMITORIES The dormitories form small communities within the larger college communities, helping the incoming students to make proper use of the support that other students can give them in their college life. The Annapolis and Santa Fe campuses have slightly different housing practices due to differences in available dormitory space. Generally, unmarried undergraduates are expected to live on campus, space permitting, and to take their meals in the college dining hall, unless they receive permission from the local housing office to live off campus. Only freshmen are guaranteed housing. The college does not guarantee housing for married students. However, in Santa Fe there are a small number of furnished, two-bedroom apartments, that may be available for married students during the academic year. Such students should check with the appropriate Admissions Office about the availability of housing on campus or in the local community. Room assignment is the responsibility of the assistant deans in conjunction with the direc.tors of residential life. Returning students have the privilege of drawing for rooms before they leave for the summer vacation. In Annapolis, students are not permitted to remain in residence during winter & STUDENT LIFE} COLLEGE} or spring vacation. In Santa Fe, students are not permitted to remain in residence during winter vacation. They may remain during spring vacation, although a small fee is charged. DINING HALL The dining halls in Annapolis and Santa Fe are operated by catering services. Vegetarian and vegan menus are available. Resident students are required to eat in the dining hall. , INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES Because both of St. John's campuses are small, cohesive, and supportive communities, there is no separate office designated for international student services. The Office of the ABsistant Deans handles all aspects of student life and provides counseling and guidance on an individual basis. In addition, each new student participates in a two-day orientation program at the time of registration. The college's registrars act as advisors to all international students with respect to visa requirements and related matters. Informal "F-1" clubs have been formed by international students together with other students, faculty, and staff for special social events, but, in general, international students find themselves easily participating in the mainstream of campus academic and social life. CAREER SERVICES The Career Services Office on each campus offers a wide range of programs and services that include: • individual career counseling • information and assistance in applying to graduate and professional schools • information and assistance in applying for scholarships and fellowships • internship opportunities • assistance with resume-writing and other job-search skills • access to a national alumni career network • pre-law and pre-medical advising • ?n-c~pus career workshops and meetmgs with alumni • information and referrals on current career and job opportunities • community service opportunities job postings on the St. John's website . ~t. Jo~n's remains committed to providing high-quality assistance to students and alumni as they make the transition to activities and pursuits beyond St. John's. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT SERVICES ~-employment service, under the supervis10n of the Career Services Office, posts off-ca~pus jobs. Primarily, it provides part-tJ.me employment for students during the academic year, but it also can aid s:udents looking for full-time or partt1me summer employment in the local community. HEALTH SERVICES A S~dent Health Center on each campus proVIdes a variety of health services for enrolled students. Counseling services are also available on campus. These services are free of charge or provided at low cost. RULES OF RESIDENCE Social order and the well-being of each student make necessary certain rules of residence governing the use of dormitories. These rules have been decided upon by the deans m consultation with students ~nd faculty. Every entering student is mformed of them, and returning upperclassmen are reminded of them each fall. The rules differ in certain details on the two campuses, though in general they follow the same pattern. The academic and intellectual life of the community is inseparable from the communal life. The building of a good community requires the faculty to show 47 respect for the individual1"ty of eac h student. All students agree to abide by the rules and regulations promulgated in the Student Handbook published annually b the college. St. John's assumes that st:_ dents will respect not only the enacted rules, but also the community-accepted canons of decent behavior. In extreme cases, where these canons are flouted, the college may require withdrawal of the offending student. The use of illegal drugs and the misuse of legal drugs, including al~ohol, are fundamentally incompatible with the program of study at St. John's Co~l~~e. Students who engage in such actJ.VItJ.es face severe disciplinary action. PROPERTY DAMAGE The college provides a housekeeping staff ~o care for the dormitories. The college rnsp_ects the rooms periodically and reparrs, at the expense of the occupant or occupants, any dormitory room and furniture that have been damaged beyond normal wear ~d tear. Any damage to college property is charged to the caution fee of the student or students responsible for the damage. The college is not responsible for the loss of, or damage to, any student property resulting from fire, theft or any other cause.

JOHN'S COLLEGE} 53 graduate a year earlier than if they had postponed their entrance until the following fall. The January class is of particular interest to students who come to St. John's from other colleges, who have traveled or worked since graduation from high school, or who wish to enter St. John's immediately after the first semester of their senior year of high school. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION M ost applicants have a strong b~ckground ~~ academic sub1ects. Specific academic requirements include two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a foreign language; additional work in mathematics and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. In addition to the application essays and secondary school report, each applicant must present transcripts of any college work and two letters of reference, including one from a teacher. In exceptional cases, certain of these requirements may be waived, or additional information may be requested. SAT or ACT test scores are not normally required, but may prove helpful. Occasionally, St. John's accepts an applicant who is not a secondary school graduate. Such students must be well qualified to profit from the college program and must either submit the results of a nationally recognized test (SAT, ACT, or PSAT) or a GED certificate. A campus visit and interview are especially important in such cases. HOMESCHOOLED STUDENTS Homeschooled applicants must submit the results of either the SAT1 or ACT. 2. They must also submit an outline of the curriculum they have followed, arranged in chronological order by conventional I. subject matter, with brief descriptions of the course content and texts used. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS St. John's is authorized under federal law to enroll foreign students. In order to be considered for admission, international students must have followed a pre-university course of study and must submit the following documents: I. A completed St. John's application form accompanied by the required essays. 2. Two letters of reference, at least one of which must be from a teacher of an academic subject. 3. An official record of secondary work, with all courses and grades, including the results of the appropriate examinations (e.g. "N' Levels, International Baccalaureate, and so on). This must be accompanied by an explanation of the grading system used and an English translation of records in other languages. 4. Test results from: a. The Student Assessment Test (SAT1) or the American College Test (ACT). b. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), if the applicant's first language is not English. TEST CODE NUMBERS St. John's College's test code numbers for the College Entrance Examination Board (SAT and TOEFL) are: Annapolis= 5598; Santa Fe = 4737. The American College Test (ACT) numbers are: Annapolis = 1732; Santa Fe = 2649 PROCEDURE S t. John's College is one college located on two campuses. Although applications must be initiated and completed at one campus or the other, admission to either campus constitutes admission to the college as a whole. On inquiry, prospective students receive a statement of the St. John's College program, an application for admission and recommendation forms to be completed by schools and references. Applications may be submitted as early as the second semester of the eleventh grade. Because the college welcomes all serious applicants, there is no application fee. Students should submit their application materials to the Admissions Office on the campus they prefer to attend. Students planning to apply for financial aid should refer to the section on Fees and Financial Aid and notify the appropriate Admissions Office of their intentions as soon as possible. St. John's is committed to maintaining its low student/faculty ratio (8 to 1). In order to meet this commitment, the number of students in each freshman class is carefully controlled. Candidates for admission are advised that applicants who meet the suggested deadlines (see below) are in a better position to secure places in the entering classes and early consideration for financial assistance than those who apply later. DEADLINES Applications for fall classes should be filed as early as possible and preferably no later than March 1; candidates wishing to enroll in January should apply no later than December 15. Applications are processed on a rolling basis. As soon as the application essays and supporting documents are received, the application is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. The applicant is notified of the committee's decision in about two weeks. Accepted students have the option to enroll on either campus. Late applications for both fall and January classes will be considered, but applicants are advised that the earlier their files are completed, the greater their chances of securing positions in the entering class on the campus of their choice. DEPOSITS Upon notification of acceptance, applicants have the option to enroll on either campus. In order to secure a place in the entering class, approved applicants must submit a deposit of $300 to the Admissions Office on the campus at which their applications were processed, together with a statement specifying the campus they wish to attend. Once the deposit has been submitted, the campus preference may not be changed except as noted below. Deposits are nonrefundable, except as noted below, and are applied to first semester tuition and fees. Deposits (and signed financial aid acceptance forms, if appropriate) are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the available positions are filled. Typically, the fall classes fill by the first week of May, so while there is ample time to consider offers of admission from other institutions, the earlier a decision can be reached, the better. January classes usually fill by the end of December. Students who submit deposits before the end of the first week of May (for the fall term) or December 20 (for the January term) have a significantly higher chance of securing positions in the entering classes than those who submit deposits later. �54 {ST. {ADMISSION} If the entering class on the applicant's first-choice campus is full when the deposit is received, the Admissions Office will offer the following options: l) the deposit may be transferred to the other campus, provided space remains in that entering class; 2) the deposit may be used to secure a place on the waiting list or in a subsequent class on the applicant's first-choice campus; 3) the deposit may be returned if neither of the first two options is acceptable. FINANCIAL Arn The college endeavors to meet the full demonstrated need of enrolling students requesting financial assistance. Of necessity, however, the amount of financial aid available for each class is limited. It is essential, therefore, that candidates apply for both admission and financial aid early. Applications for financial aid will be processed for approved applicants on a first-come, first-served basis until the available aid is exhausted. Therefore, U.S. citizens and permanent residents requesting financial assistance should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form as early as possible and promptly supply the Financial Aid Office with any additional documentation that may be requested. Non-U.S. citizens requesting financial assistance should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as soon as possible. Students who complete their financial aid applications before February 15 (for fall classes) or September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly higher chance of receiving all the aid for which they qualify . than those who complete them later. WAITING LIST Once the entering classes are full or the available aid is exhausted, a waiting list will be established in the order in which deposits or completed financial aid files from approved applicants are received. Positions in the entering classes and financial aid will then be offered as they become available. Every effort will be made to accommodate those on the waiting list by allowing them to change their campus preference or to enroll in a subsequent class, as noted above. lNTERCAMPUS TRANSFER Once enrolled on either campus, any student in good academic standing may apply for transfer to the alternate campus for the upcoming academic year. They must notify the Registrar's Office of their intention to transfer by the third Monday in February of the previous year. Those students who wish to apply for financial aid must also file their new financial aid forms by March r. All intercampus transfers must be approved by the deans of both campuses and may be restricted by limitations in various campus resources, such as available space and staffing. STUDENT RIGHT TO KNow AcT In compliance with this act, the Office of the Registrar will provide and make readily available, upon request, completion or graduation rates to current and prospective students. INQUIRIES Inquiries should be addressed to Director of Admissions, St. John's College, P.O. Box 2800, Annapolis, Maryland 21404-2800 (Phone: 410-626-2522 or 800-727-9238; E-mail: admissions@sjca.edu) or Director of Admissions, St. John's College, n6o Camino Cruz Blanca, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87505-4599 (Phone: 505-9846060 or 800-331-5232; E-mail: admissions@sjcsf.edu). The college maintains a website atwww.stjohnscollege.edu JOHN'S CAMPUS VISIT I t is best for those who are considering attending St. John's to see the college for themselves. It is probably wise to get first-hand advance knowledge of any college one may be thinking of attending, but it is especially wise in the case of St. John's because of its unique curriculum and teaching methods. While on campus the visitor may attend a seminar on Monday or Thursday evening at 8 P.M.; attend tutorials in mathematics, language, and music; visit a laboratory; be interviewed by the Director of Admissions, a member of the admissions staff, or a tutor; attend the weekly formal lecture (Friday night); talk informally with St. John's students and tutors; visit the library and bookstore; explore the historic town of Annapolis or Santa Fe; attend a movie, play, art exhibit, or concert; or watch students participating in the sports program. Since the seminar, the most important part of the program, meets on Monday and Thursday evenings, student visitors are normally on campus from Monday to Tuesday or from Thursday to Friday. If travel arrangements make these time periods impossible, the visitor may telephone the Admissions Office for special help. The calendar in the front of the catalog should be checked to make certain the college will be in session during the time of the visit. Those planning to visit should telephone (1-800-727-9238 for Annapolis or l-800-331-5232 for Santa Fe) or write the Admissions Office giving the dates (and alternates) they have selected. It is also necessary for the Admissions Office to know the approximate time of arrival. When the reservation is confirmed by telephone or letter, the visitor will be told the seminar reading. If it is necessary to cancel the visit, the Admissions Office should be notified as soon as possible. The only expense for visitors is trans- COLLEGE} 55 portation. They will be provided a room in a dormitory and meals in the dinin hall 'h g wit out charge. St. John's students dress informally for tutorials, but more formally for seminar and formal lecture. The seminar readings usually can be located in inexpensive paperback editions in the college bookstore if a visitor has been unable to locate a copy of the book being discussed in seminar. Linens are provided by the college. Visitors arriving weekdays between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. should go to the Admissions Office. On weekends and any day after 5 P.M., visitors should go to the college receptionist. The receptionist is at the switchboard in Pinkney Hall at Annapolis and in Peterson Student Center at Santa Fe. TRANSPORTATION Baltimore-Washington International Airport is located twenty miles from Annapolis. An airport limousine goes to and from Annapolis; visitors are advised to check schedules in advance. Bus service from the airport is not practical. Hourly buses run between Baltimore and Annapolis, and the driver will let visitors off near the campus if asked. Buses from Washington are less frequent and let passengers off on West Street, about six blocks from the college. By car, take Route 50 from Washington; from Baltimore take Route 2 or I-97. Albuquerque International Airport is located sixty miles from the Santa Fe campus. A shuttle service from the airport to Santa Fe is available. Call the Admissions Office for information. Greyhound and Continental bus lines pass through Santa Fe. Amtrak stops at Lamy, N.M., twenty miles from Santa Fe, and taxi service is available to town (reservations should be made with the taxi service one day in advance). Upon arrival at the bus station or at one of the Santa Fe hotels, the easiest way to get to the campus is by taxi. �56 {FEES & FINANCIAL PROCEDURES AND DEADLINES T he college believes that qualified applicants should ~ot be denied the opportumty to attend St. John's College because of limited finances. St. John's therefore maintains a financial aid program to assist eligible s~d~nts to the greatest extent possible wit~m t~e limits of the college's resources. Fmancial aid awards are made solely on the basis of need. A. The following principles underlie St. John's financial aid program: The primary responsibility for financing a college education lies with the student and the student's parents. The college can offer aid only to supplement funds the family provides. I. 2. The ability of a family to meet college expenses is determined by assessing the family's financial strength in terms of income, assets, debts, and number of family members in college. 3· Financial aid may be in the form of a grant, loan, or part-time employment, and will be offered to all students as a package that combines one or more forms of aid. 4. In keeping with the philosophy th~t students should contribute to theu educational expenses, self-help is the first component of a financial aid award. At St. John's, self-help consists of a part-time job and an educational loan. 5. Financial aid is not automatically renewable; rather, students reapply each year they wish to be considered for aid. 6. Students receiving financial aid must meet the criteria for maintaining satisfactory progress in order to retain their award (see page 57). A1n} 7 . Financial aid awards are made_ in accordance with the provisions of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of r964 and Title IX of the Higher Education Act of rg8o, which prohibit discriminatio~ on the basis of race, color, sex, physical handicap, age, marital status, creed or ethnic or national origin. B. The procedure for U.S. ~itizens_ and permanent residents applymg for fmancial aid is as follows: Applicants must file the current Fr~e Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In addition, St. John's requires students seeking institutional grant aid to file the ?oll~ge Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form. These forms may be obtained from secondary schools. the Financial Aid Office at St. John's, or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or www.profileonline.collegeboard.com. To have an analysis of your forms sentto St. John's, be sure to use the correct code numbers. PROFILE: Annapolis=5598; Santa Fe= 4737 . FAFSA: Annapolis=oo2092; Santa Fe=oo2093. {ST. JOHN'S any federal loans received at any institution and must not owe any refunds to the federal programs. 5. Students applying for and receiving financial aid from St. John's are required to notify the Financial Aid Office of any scholarships, loans, grants, gifts, employment or other financial benefits for which they become eligible; any change in their or their family's financial situation; and changes of name, marital status, and address. I. 2 . As part of the application for financial aid, parents and students must provide copies of their most recent Federal Income Tax Return and W-2 forms. 3 . Self-supporting students are required to meet the federal definition of independence and must comply with federal verification requirements. Independent students must submit p~rental information in order to be considered for institutional assistance. Financial aid packages for self-supporting students are generally not adequate to cover the full need of such applicants because of funding limitations in both federal and institutional programs· 4 . Recipients of federally funded financial assistance must not be in default on C. Non-U.S. citizens applying for financial aid should note the following: r. Financial aid for foreign students is limited and competition for it is strong. For non-U.S. citizens, the maximum institutional assistance available is 65% of current tuition, room, and board. In addition to need-based loans and grants, foreign students are eligible for jobs on campus. They are also eligible to apply for summer employment at St. John's, but the availability of jobs cannot be guaranteed. 2. Non-U.S. citizens should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as early as possible, preferably no later than February r5. This form may be obtained from secondary school counseling offices or from the St. John's Admissions Office. No requests for financial assistance will be considered and no offers of financial aid will be made until after a student has been admitted to the college. D. Following are the deadlines and notification dates for financial aid: FRESHMAN CANDIDATES: Although the college has no deadline for receipt of financial aid applications, candidates for admission who are in need of financial assistance should indicate that need as soon as possible. The FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's COLLEGE} 57 PROFILE form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Applicants should note also that the earlier their aid application is received, the better the chance that their financial need can be fully met. Candidates for admission applying for financial aid after February IS (for fall classes) or after September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly lower chance of receiving all the funds for which they are eligible than those applying earlier. Applications are due by March r from enrolled students who are returning to the college and reapplying for financial aid or are applying for financial aid for the first time. Both the FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Students whose financial aid credentials are received by the Financial Aid Office prior to the March I deadline will be notified of the decision on their application by April r. Students whose applications for financial aid are received after the deadline will not be denied consideration for assistance, but the availability of funds cannot be guaranteed. RETURNING STUDENTS: E. Funds for financial aid awards from the college are available from the sources listed below. Funds for St. John's grants are provided by the college from its own resources. St. John's grants do not need to be repaid. ST. JOHN'S GRANTS: FEDERAL PELL GRANT: This federal program is designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend a post-secondary institution. Pell Grants are intended to be the first form of assistance in a financial aid package and may be combined wit �58 {FEES & FINANCIAL other forms of aid in order to meet a student's demonstrated financial need. Eligibility for the Pell Grant and the amount awarded are determined on the basis of the financial resources of the applicant and the applicant's family. No repayment of this grant is required. FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL The college awards SEOG's to incoming freshmen and enrolled students each year. The grants are awarded to students who demonstrate substantial need with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Eligibility for the SEOG is limited to $4,000 per year. OPPORTUNITY GRANT: This federal program permits the college to give part-time employment to students who need such earnings to pursue their course of study. Students may work only a limited number of hours per week while enrolled and while classes are in session. FEDERAL WoRKSTUDYPROGRAMS: These loans are made by the college directly to students using funds provided, for the most part, by the federal government. Perkins Loans are made available to students with high financial need. The maximum loan is $4,000 for each year of undergraduate study. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the college. The interest rate during repayment is 5%. There is a provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN: The Federal Stafford Loan program enables a student to borrow directly from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association, or other participating lender who is willing to make the educational loan. The maximum amount an undergraduate may borrow is $2,625 for the freshman FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN: {ST. JOHN'S AID} year, $3,500 for the sophomore year, $5,500 for the junior year, and $5,500 for the senior year. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is a full-time student. Repayment begins six months after termination of college attendance. For new borrowers, the interest rate is variable, with a maximum rate of8.25%. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to students who do not meet the financial need criteria for the subsidized Stafford program. Unsubsidized borrowers are charged interest during in-school, grace, and deferment periods. PLUS LOAN: Unsubsidized federal loans are available without regard to financial need to the parents of dependent students. The maximum annual PLUS loan is the student's total estimated cost of education less financial assistance. PLUS Loans have a 3% origination fee, a guarantee fee of up to I%, and a variable interest rate with a cap of 9%. Interest accrues from the date of disbursement for all PLUS loans.

BILLING AND DEPOSITS B illing for tuition and fees is done prior to each semester. Unless otherwise requested, the college presents its bills directly to the student. The charges are due and payable in full by August I for the first semester and December I for the second semester. Those who may wish to pay in monthly installments should ask the Treasurer's Office about the tuition payment plan available to St. John's College students and parents. Since determinations affecting students, faculty, and physical facilities must be made well in advance of the beginning of each academic year, the college must COLLEGE} 59 know in April which returning students will register in September. A deposit of $300 on the fees for the following year is therefore due on or before the second Monday in April for prospective sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the deposit is not paid, the student may have to be placed on a waiting list; students to whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, academic dismissal or (in the case of prospective juniors) failure to enable. If the student should decide not to enroll in the year for which the deposit was made, the deposit is forfeited, and the �60 {FEES FINANCIAL & AID} {FEES & FINANCIAL AID} 61 ment schedule of tuition and fees corresponding to the schedule on which they r~ceive their benefit payments.

As the of the central a one the language tutorial attempts this condition in the and shades of abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a Those are matters �12 {THE CURRICULUM} that do not come directly into seminar discussions. The students' concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign language, but the students can reasonably expect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they study. To experience the individuality of another language is to extend the boundaries of one's sensibility. The choice of foreign languages is in part dictated by the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary. Latin and German might be used without changing the pattern and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes well with the freshman seminar and mathematics tutorial, and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of the first. The second year ends with analysis and discussion of works by Shakespeare, Donne, and other English poets. The French of the third year begins with a brief, intensive study of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading of simple French. Students already fluent in French may be exempted from these early stages. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form and content are related to appropriate writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of their models. In the second semester a playisread- rtacine'sPhaedre. The principal activity of the fourth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal. Its immediate object is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of language. Writing assignments include exercises in translation more ambitious than those attempted in the third year. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} THE MATHEMATICS TUTORIAL Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested by the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning "to learn." It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathematical. Itis equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John's is studied as a liberal art, not artificially separated from what have come to be called the humanities. When mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for their elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John's, mathematics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal art but also one that provides ready access to others and significant analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studying mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines it. Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarity with the mathematical methods by which it is managed, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their application. It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to help students to think about what it means to count and measure things in the universe. The second main reason for studying mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically. Since mathematics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human capacity for learning, its study is especially useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know something. 13 To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? What is the relation oflogic to mathematics? What do "better" and "worse," "ugly" and "beautiful" signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are there "mathematical objects"? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid's organization of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects - its central expression found in the theory of ratios - which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy's Almagest, centering their attention on the problem of "hypotheses" constructed to "save the appearances" in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between �14 {THE CURRICULUM} the mathematics tutorial at St. John's and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: His work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study Copernicus' transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into heliocentric form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an understanding of algebra as the "analytic art" in general. In the third year, calculus is studied both analytically in its modern form and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. This is followed by an examination of Dedekind's theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The students then return to Newton's Principia to take up its treatment of astronomy, in which Newton brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomywith a "dynamic" theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski's approach to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 15 of the geometric art as a whole. Seniors also study Einstein's special theory of relativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. In Santa Fe, the mathematics and language tutorials of the senior year are replaced for part of the second semester with a visual arts tutorial that includes a close study of classic paintings, beginning with Giotto's frescoes and ending with Picasso'sLes Demoiselles d'Avignon. THE Music TUTORIAL One of the aims of the St. John's program has been to restore music as a liberal art to the curriculum. The study of music at St. John's is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a BJ.ace among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind's power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the ratios among whole numbers. In particular, the music program at St. John's aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year, students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place primarily by singing, and by the second semester the students perform some of the great choral works. In the sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides continuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoric, and poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial includes an investigation of rhythm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the diatonic system, a study of the ratios of musical intervals, and a consideration of melody, counterpoint, and harmony. None of these are done apart from the sounding reality of good music. The inventions of Bach, the songs of Schubert, the masses of Palestrina, the operas of Mozart, and the instrumental works of Beethoven are the real textbooks. In the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. �16 {THE CURRICULUM} {ST.

Bernoulli Faraday Maxwell 0rsted Ampere Mozart Mendel Wagner J. J. Thomson Bohr Millikan Schrodinger Darwin Freud Einstein Heisenberg Watson & Crick Jacob&Monod A t St. John's, the teaching members of the faculty are called tutors. The title professor is avoided to signify that it is not the chiefrole of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying the text that is the principal teacher of the class - it might be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wrote from the high point of their learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the tutors is to question, to listen and to help. The help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration or explanation, but first of all the tutor will call on the students to try to help themselves. In order that conversations at St. John's will not be limited to what fits neatly inside a single discipline, it is essential that St. John's tutors re-educate themselves to acquire increased understanding in those parts of the program that are outside their field of post-graduate training. For example, tutors with advanced degrees in mathematics would prepare ORDER} 27 themselves to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage of this for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not parry their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. There are no departments! The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John's program. This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and they are continually teaching their colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John's than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up. Leaders of such groups are sometimes relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by themselves or the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John's curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John's. �28 {THE ACADEMIC THE INSTRUCTION COMMITTEE THE LIBRARY T he books chosen for study at St. John's are collected in the best editions and translations that can be obtained. These works form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes serving as secondary sources and representative works in the major fields of learning. Holdings are most extensive in philosophy, literature, and the history of science. The library also provides newspapers and periodicals, audio-visual materials, multiple copies of some seminar readings, and other smaller collections. A faculty committee assists the librarians with collection development. The Greenfield Library in Annapolis houses a collection of approximately xoo,ooo volumes. The library building, renovated in x996, provides comfortable study spaces as well as computer terminals with access to the catalogue, other JOHN'S SCHEDULES P T he Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the presidents on appointments to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and twelve tutors, six elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year. The full committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those annual meetings. {ST. ORDER} library databases, and the Internet. The Music Library in Mellon Hall contains scores and recorded music. The Faith and John Meem Library opened in Santa Fe in x990. The library now contains more than 65,000 volumes, and offers a variety of study areas designed to accommodate up to half of the student body at a given time, including two 24-hour study rooms, and a music room with listening carrels and more than 8,ooo compact disks, records, and tapes. The library also provides public terminals for accessing electronic resources and the Internet. Both libraries hold interesting special collections, including several hundred early or first editions of works read in the program. Annapolis has the Bray Collection, dating from x696 and known as the "first public library in America," as well as the Prettyman Collection of signed and inscribed books. The Witter Bynner Collection and the Edgar Allen Poe Collection in Santa Fe contain first editions of each poet, as well as other belles lettres. In addition, the Santa Fe library contains a faculty and alumni publications collection and the Holtzman Music Collection. erhaps the most distinctive mark of St. John's College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the weeks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid's Elem,ents; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the implications for liberty in Pericles' funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. A SAMPLE Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods of laboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-andone-half hours to four-and-one-half hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six hours each week in the laboratory. Two evenings, from eight to ten, all students attend a seminar. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to nineteen hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of sixteen weeks each.

The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student's total performance as a member of the tutorials and sermnar. It is assumed that each student has the required to pu:rsue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The cuniculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide :range of and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John's is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and for grades. Because student is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John's, attendance at all regscheduled college exercises is A record of absences is kept. Tlus record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. COLLEGE} 31 time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student's work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met ifthe student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary is one semester. LETTER GRADES Students are encouraged not to work for but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central Students are told their grades on request. The tutor's comprehensive judgment of a student is to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, D or F, where C indicates that the work is at a level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has the student is asked to leave the college. THE DoN RAG SOPHOMORE ENABLING Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a , and meet ·with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students' work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors' reports and comment on their ffWn work. Advice may be and given; difficulties may be aired; but g:rades are not reported or discussed. In the junior year, conferences some of the don rags. In conferences, students report on their own work, and then the tutors comment on that report. the Sophomore is a review the In;truction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of of the student's during the two years spent in the college.

In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student an acceptable senior essay. �32 {THE ACADEMIC THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS T he student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfactorily is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, but they spend their first summer in completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John's seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately one hundred thirty-four semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN'S I n a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John's alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John's graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 2r.9% are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • r8.8% are in communications or the arts; • r7.3% are in business or business-related occupations; {ST. ORDER} • 9.7% work in the field oflaw, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 9.4% work in computers/sciences/mathematics; • 6.9% work in the health professions, mainly as physicians; • 6.6% work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry. • 9.4% choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreign service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ecology. More than 75% of St. John's graduates pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with close to 30% of each graduating class pursuing advanced studies at leading universities across the country. St. John's students consistently score substantially above the national averages on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Most fields of study may be entered directly from St. John's. Some of the more highly technical fields may require additional preparation, either prior to or during the first year of graduate study. St. John's has developed special programs and relationships with specific graduate and professional schools to help entry into fields such as medicine, business, engineering, and teaching. THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS Tutors who have completed two years of teaching at St. John's may receive a master's degree in liberal arts. They must petition the Instruction Committee for permission to present themselves as candidates for the degree. They must then submit a thesis on a topic approved by the Instruction Committee and stand for an oral examination upon it. The topic must have some bearing on the understanding and practice of the liberal arts. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 33 THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION T he Graduate Institute at St. John's College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, modeled on that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes a~e conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS T he aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theolof!?f, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts degree (thirty-six semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely integrated program of study. Classes are small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which fourteen to twentyone students engage in a discussion initiated by a tutor's question about the assigned reading. In the tutorial, a slightly Smaller group of students (twelve to sixteen) focuses more intensively on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and spring terms, and usually four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master's essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately sixty to eighty students have been enrolled on each campus during each session.

JOHN'S COLLEGE} {RESIDENCE & STUDENT LIFE} 43 The college has a small fleet of sailboats, from lasers to a 24-foot Bristol sloop, along with many rowing dinghies, canoes and kayaks in which students may explore the beauties of the Chesapeake. An annual Sail Picnic, organized by The Friends of St. John's, provides an opportunity for students to sail aboard large yachts. Croquet, too, has a large following, and each spring a team from St. John's takes on the Naval Academy in a much celebrated match for the Annapolis Cup. Athletic facilities on campus include playing fields, tennis courts, a gymnasium with a racquetball court, a well-equipped weight room, a dance studio, and a suspended running track. THE SANTA FE CAMPUS I n the early Ig6os the college decided to expand its student body. The Board of Visitors and Governors chose to establish a second campus in the West, rather than sacrifice the virtues of a small campus. St. John's College in Santa Fe was opened in the fall of Ig64 in New Mexico's capital, founded in I6rn by Spanish colonists. Its population of 65,000 people is occupied principallywith the government of the state and of Santa Fe County; with cultural pursuits in the fine arts, museums, and opera; and with archaeological and historical research. Scientists in nearby Los Alamos do research in nuclear physics and related fields. Neighboring institutions of higher education include the Institute of Ameri- can Indian Arts, the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Community College, and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Sixty miles to the south, Albuquerque provides the attractions and conveniences of a city of 500,000 people. The campus of 250 acres lies in the southeast quadrant of the city, two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architecture of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of 7,300 feet, overlooks the city and offers superb views of the Cerrillos, the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The campus includes a classroom building, a laboratory, a library, a student center, a music and fine arts building, an administration building, three clusters of dormitories, and ten furnished, two-bedroom apartments. A conference services office, dining hall, and student health office are also located in these buildings. Each of the I6 dormitory units on the main campus houses from I2 to I8 students, and the eight dorm suites, which house five people, serve as a smaller community of friends within the college. More than half the rooms are singles. The others are designed in suites of two or three rooms to provide each student with the privacy of his own quarters and, at the same time, close companionship with a fellow student. The eight dorm suites house five private rooms. Students living in these dorms are responsible for all cleaning in their rooms, bathroom, and common room. The director of residential life helps students arrange to live with others who share similar opinions about smoking, music, and so on in a dormitory area. Students in Santa Fe find it effective to work out problems and ideas on an individual basis with the administration and faculty, as well as through the machinery of a formal student government, since both the size of the college and the form of the program are conducive to informal and direct communication. There are permanent student representatives to the Financial Aid Committee, Campus Planning Committee, and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees, which concern themselves with such things as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular acrivities, including the artistic, the academic, and the athletic. Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet, and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine Arts Building, the darkroom, and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The college's art gallery, which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists monthly. A student art show is scheduled each year, and awards are given for achievement in pottery, photography, drawing, painting, and making jewelry. The Moon, a student newspaper, provides students in Santa Fe with a medium through which to express their views about both the college and the world at large. Au Verso, a literary magazine, �44 {ST. JOHN'S contains essays, art work, poetry, short stories, and photography from students and faculty alike. Musical performances of many kinds are given by students through the Collegium Musicum. Formed to stimulate musical activity on campus, the association provides members of the college community with an opportunity to perform before small, receptive audiences. Through this organization, students and faculty who play instruments or who sing can find teachers and fellow musicians with whom to study or perform. The St. John's Chorus and the small chorus also give recitals. The college provides numerous keyboard instruments, including two grand pianos and a harpsichord, for student practice and performance. Practice rooms are available in the Fine Arts Building. The St. John's Film Society is organized by students to provide a wide variety of classic and current films for the college community every Saturday night. Many students are attracted to the town of Santa Fe by its crafts, music, theater, and visual arts. Others have participated in tutoring in elementary schools, counseling, working on local church restoration, or other local activities. City buses stop every half hour near the campus, providing economical transportation to town. Most students come to St. John's with definite interests outside the scope of the program and pursue these interests in extracurricular classes and discussion groups, both on and off campus. Informal discussions of contemporary literature, forums on public concerns, and slide shows on art history are frequent on-campus activities, as are study groups in such languages as Latin, German, Spanish, and Hebrew. Thorne Fellowships give eligible students support toward fulfillment of medical school prerequisites during summer months, during a leave from the coll~, or after graduation. COLLEGE} AB in Annapolis, waltz parties, rock parties, and such regular events as the Octoberfest (in the mountains surrounding the college), the Halloween Costume Party, the Fasching Ball, the Graduation Ball, and Reality Weekend provide occasions for informal gatherings of tutors and students. Reality Weekend includes a talent show, a picnic, and athletic competition. ATHLETICS Like Annapolis, the Santa Fe campus encourages all students to participate in amateur intramural athletics, regardless of their athletic skills. The new athletic center has a full-sized basketb,all court, two racquetball/squash courts, a wellequipped weight room, men and women's locker rooms, and a large outdoor equipment room. The student outdoor programs office, the director's office, and a small outdoor resource library are also located at the new center. The college offers students, faculty, staff, and alumni a variety of sports and outdoor recreational opportunities. Student interest usually determines which sports and outdoor programs are offered. There are organized tournaments for basketball, volleyball, badminton, table-tennis, racquetball, squash, indoor and outdoor soccer, and fencing. There are also opportunities to swim and play tennis, softball, and Ultimate Frisbee. The college also supports a Karate-Do program led by tutor Jorge Aigla, 6th Dan. Depending on student interest, extracurricular classes are offered each year such as Tai Chi, dance, aerobics, and self-defense. Outdoor recreational activities include whitewater canoeing and rafting, downhill and cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, and fly fishing. The Outdoor Programs office organizes extended river trips each fall and spring in the surrounding Southwest. The neighboring Sangre de Cristo Mountains provide hundreds of square miles of forest and wilderness for {RESIDENCE & camping and hiking. Students can join the St. John's College Search and Rescue Team and learn back-country skills such as map and compass navigation, G.P.A. navigation, wilderness medicine, and technical evacuation. The Search and Rescue Team works under the auspices of the New Mexico state police and averages thirty missions a year. The athletic and outdoor program office provides students free use of sports and outdoor equipment; sleeping bags, tents, fly-fishing equipment, mountain bikes, downhill and cross-country skis and snowshoes are just a few of the items available for check-out. The college does not participate in formal collegiate athletics and there are no athletic scholarships awarded. The emphasis that the college places on the intellectual growth of students and faculty, and the absence of any athletic curriculum should not be mistaken for disdain of athletic endeavors. Despite the rigors of STUDENT LIFE} 45 the curriculum, many of our students and faculty find time to play individual or team sports. BOTH CAMPUSES RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES The Charter ofr784 established St. John's College as a non-denominational institution. In its early years, there were some ties with the Protestant Episcopal Church, but these no longer exist. Many tutors and students attend church or synagogue in town. It is customary for extracurricular Bible classes to be conducted bytutors of the college. FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS The college bookstore on each campus has all the books and supplies the students need for their classes. It also maintains a stock of books related to all phases of the program, and books of more gen er- �{RESIDENCE 46 {ST. JOHN'S al interest. It is operated without profit. Both campuses maintain computer laboratories for student use, providing free access to word processing and Internet services, including e-mail. PC and Macintosh computers are available in the laboratories. AB supports for an active social life, the college provides on each campus a coffee shop and a junior common room for the use of all students. In addition, there are smaller, comfortably furnished social rooms in the dormitories and elsewhere on the campus. DORMITORIES The dormitories form small communities within the larger college communities, helping the incoming students to make proper use of the support that other students can give them in their college life. The Annapolis and Santa Fe campuses have slightly different housing practices due to differences in available dormitory space. Generally, unmarried undergraduates are expected to live on campus, space permitting, and to take their meals in the college dining hall, unless they receive permission from the local housing office to live off campus. Only freshmen are guaranteed housing. The college does not guarantee housing for married students. However, in Santa Fe there are a small number of furnished, two-bedroom apartments, that may be available for married students during the academic year. Such students should check with the appropriate Admissions Office about the availability of housing on campus or in the local community. Room assignment is the responsibility of the assistant deans in conjunction with the direc.tors of residential life. Returning students have the privilege of drawing for rooms before they leave for the summer vacation. In Annapolis, students are not permitted to remain in residence during winter & STUDENT LIFE} COLLEGE} or spring vacation. In Santa Fe, students are not permitted to remain in residence during winter vacation. They may remain during spring vacation, although a small fee is charged. DINING HALL The dining halls in Annapolis and Santa Fe are operated by catering services. Vegetarian and vegan menus are available. Resident students are required to eat in the dining hall. , INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES Because both of St. John's campuses are small, cohesive, and supportive communities, there is no separate office designated for international student services. The Office of the ABsistant Deans handles all aspects of student life and provides counseling and guidance on an individual basis. In addition, each new student participates in a two-day orientation program at the time of registration. The college's registrars act as advisors to all international students with respect to visa requirements and related matters. Informal "F-1" clubs have been formed by international students together with other students, faculty, and staff for special social events, but, in general, international students find themselves easily participating in the mainstream of campus academic and social life. CAREER SERVICES The Career Services Office on each campus offers a wide range of programs and services that include: • individual career counseling • information and assistance in applying to graduate and professional schools • information and assistance in applying for scholarships and fellowships • internship opportunities • assistance with resume-writing and other job-search skills • access to a national alumni career network • pre-law and pre-medical advising • ?n-c~pus career workshops and meetmgs with alumni • information and referrals on current career and job opportunities • community service opportunities job postings on the St. John's website . ~t. Jo~n's remains committed to providing high-quality assistance to students and alumni as they make the transition to activities and pursuits beyond St. John's. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT SERVICES ~-employment service, under the supervis10n of the Career Services Office, posts off-ca~pus jobs. Primarily, it provides part-tJ.me employment for students during the academic year, but it also can aid s:udents looking for full-time or partt1me summer employment in the local community. HEALTH SERVICES A S~dent Health Center on each campus proVIdes a variety of health services for enrolled students. Counseling services are also available on campus. These services are free of charge or provided at low cost. RULES OF RESIDENCE Social order and the well-being of each student make necessary certain rules of residence governing the use of dormitories. These rules have been decided upon by the deans m consultation with students ~nd faculty. Every entering student is mformed of them, and returning upperclassmen are reminded of them each fall. The rules differ in certain details on the two campuses, though in general they follow the same pattern. The academic and intellectual life of the community is inseparable from the communal life. The building of a good community requires the faculty to show 47 respect for the individual1"ty of eac h student. All students agree to abide by the rules and regulations promulgated in the Student Handbook published annually b the college. St. John's assumes that st:_ dents will respect not only the enacted rules, but also the community-accepted canons of decent behavior. In extreme cases, where these canons are flouted, the college may require withdrawal of the offending student. The use of illegal drugs and the misuse of legal drugs, including al~ohol, are fundamentally incompatible with the program of study at St. John's Co~l~~e. Students who engage in such actJ.VItJ.es face severe disciplinary action. PROPERTY DAMAGE The college provides a housekeeping staff ~o care for the dormitories. The college rnsp_ects the rooms periodically and reparrs, at the expense of the occupant or occupants, any dormitory room and furniture that have been damaged beyond normal wear ~d tear. Any damage to college property is charged to the caution fee of the student or students responsible for the damage. The college is not responsible for the loss of, or damage to, any student property resulting from fire, theft or any other cause.

The January class is of particular interest to students who come to St. John's from other colleges, who have traveled or worked since graduation from high school, or who wish to enter St. John's immediately after the first semester of their senior year of high school. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION M ost applicants have a strong b~ckground ~~ academic sub1ects. Specific academic requirements include two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a foreign language; additional work in mathematics and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. In addition to the application essays and secondary school report, each applicant must present transcripts of any college work and two letters of reference, including one from a teacher. In exceptional cases, certain of these requirements may be waived, or additional information may be requested. SAT or ACT test scores are not normally required, but may prove helpful. Occasionally, St. John's accepts an applicant who is not a secondary school graduate. Such students must be well qualified to profit from the college program and must either submit the results of a nationally recognized test (SAT, ACT, or PSAT) or a GED certificate. A campus visit and interview are especially important in such cases. HOMESCHOOLED STUDENTS Homeschooled applicants must submit the results of either the SAT1 or ACT. 2. They must also submit an outline of the curriculum they have followed, arranged in chronological order by conventional I. subject matter, with brief descriptions of the course content and texts used. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS St. John's is authorized under federal law to enroll foreign students. In order to be considered for admission, international students must have followed a pre-university course of study and must submit the following documents: I. A completed St. John's application form accompanied by the required essays. 2. Two letters of reference, at least one of which must be from a teacher of an academic subject. 3. An official record of secondary work, with all courses and grades, including the results of the appropriate examinations (e.g. "N' Levels, International Baccalaureate, and so on). This must be accompanied by an explanation of the grading system used and an English translation of records in other languages. 4. Test results from: a. The Student Assessment Test (SAT1) or the American College Test (ACT). b. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), if the applicant's first language is not English. TEST CODE NUMBERS St. John's College's test code numbers for the College Entrance Examination Board (SAT and TOEFL) are: Annapolis= 5598; Santa Fe = 4737. The American College Test (ACT) numbers are: Annapolis = 1732; Santa Fe = 2649 PROCEDURE S t. John's College is one college located on two campuses. Although applications must be initiated and completed at one campus or the other, admission to either campus constitutes admission to the college as a whole. On inquiry, prospective students receive a statement of the St. John's College program, an application for admission and recommendation forms to be completed by schools and references. Applications may be submitted as early as the second semester of the eleventh grade. Because the college welcomes all serious applicants, there is no application fee. Students should submit their application materials to the Admissions Office on the campus they prefer to attend. Students planning to apply for financial aid should refer to the section on Fees and Financial Aid and notify the appropriate Admissions Office of their intentions as soon as possible. St. John's is committed to maintaining its low student/faculty ratio (8 to 1). In order to meet this commitment, the number of students in each freshman class is carefully controlled. Candidates for admission are advised that applicants who meet the suggested deadlines (see below) are in a better position to secure places in the entering classes and early consideration for financial assistance than those who apply later. DEADLINES Applications for fall classes should be filed as early as possible and preferably no later than March 1; candidates wishing to enroll in January should apply no later than December 15. Applications are processed on a rolling basis. As soon as the application essays and supporting documents are received, the application is reviewed by the Admissions Committee. The applicant is notified of the committee's decision in about two weeks. Accepted students have the option to enroll on either campus. Late applications for both fall and January classes will be considered, but applicants are advised that the earlier their files are completed, the greater their chances of securing positions in the entering class on the campus of their choice. DEPOSITS Upon notification of acceptance, applicants have the option to enroll on either campus. In order to secure a place in the entering class, approved applicants must submit a deposit of $300 to the Admissions Office on the campus at which their applications were processed, together with a statement specifying the campus they wish to attend. Once the deposit has been submitted, the campus preference may not be changed except as noted below. Deposits are nonrefundable, except as noted below, and are applied to first semester tuition and fees. Deposits (and signed financial aid acceptance forms, if appropriate) are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the available positions are filled. Typically, the fall classes fill by the first week of May, so while there is ample time to consider offers of admission from other institutions, the earlier a decision can be reached, the better. January classes usually fill by the end of December. Students who submit deposits before the end of the first week of May (for the fall term) or December 20 (for the January term) have a significantly higher chance of securing positions in the entering classes than those who submit deposits later. �54 {ST. {ADMISSION} If the entering class on the applicant's first-choice campus is full when the deposit is received, the Admissions Office will offer the following options: l) the deposit may be transferred to the other campus, provided space remains in that entering class; 2) the deposit may be used to secure a place on the waiting list or in a subsequent class on the applicant's first-choice campus; 3) the deposit may be returned if neither of the first two options is acceptable. FINANCIAL Arn The college endeavors to meet the full demonstrated need of enrolling students requesting financial assistance. Of necessity, however, the amount of financial aid available for each class is limited. It is essential, therefore, that candidates apply for both admission and financial aid early. Applications for financial aid will be processed for approved applicants on a first-come, first-served basis until the available aid is exhausted. Therefore, U.S. citizens and permanent residents requesting financial assistance should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form as early as possible and promptly supply the Financial Aid Office with any additional documentation that may be requested. Non-U.S. citizens requesting financial assistance should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as soon as possible. Students who complete their financial aid applications before February 15 (for fall classes) or September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly higher chance of receiving all the aid for which they qualify . than those who complete them later. WAITING LIST Once the entering classes are full or the available aid is exhausted, a waiting list will be established in the order in which deposits or completed financial aid files from approved applicants are received. Positions in the entering classes and financial aid will then be offered as they become available. Every effort will be made to accommodate those on the waiting list by allowing them to change their campus preference or to enroll in a subsequent class, as noted above. lNTERCAMPUS TRANSFER Once enrolled on either campus, any student in good academic standing may apply for transfer to the alternate campus for the upcoming academic year. They must notify the Registrar's Office of their intention to transfer by the third Monday in February of the previous year. Those students who wish to apply for financial aid must also file their new financial aid forms by March r. All intercampus transfers must be approved by the deans of both campuses and may be restricted by limitations in various campus resources, such as available space and staffing. STUDENT RIGHT TO KNow AcT In compliance with this act, the Office of the Registrar will provide and make readily available, upon request, completion or graduation rates to current and prospective students. INQUIRIES Inquiries should be addressed to Director of Admissions, St. John's College, P.O. Box 2800, Annapolis, Maryland 21404-2800 (Phone: 410-626-2522 or 800-727-9238; E-mail: admissions@sjca.edu) or Director of Admissions, St. John's College, n6o Camino Cruz Blanca, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87505-4599 (Phone: 505-9846060 or 800-331-5232; E-mail: admissions@sjcsf.edu). The college maintains a website atwww.stjohnscollege.edu JOHN'S CAMPUS VISIT I t is best for those who are considering attending St. John's to see the college for themselves. It is probably wise to get first-hand advance knowledge of any college one may be thinking of attending, but it is especially wise in the case of St. John's because of its unique curriculum and teaching methods. While on campus the visitor may attend a seminar on Monday or Thursday evening at 8 P.M.; attend tutorials in mathematics, language, and music; visit a laboratory; be interviewed by the Director of Admissions, a member of the admissions staff, or a tutor; attend the weekly formal lecture (Friday night); talk informally with St. John's students and tutors; visit the library and bookstore; explore the historic town of Annapolis or Santa Fe; attend a movie, play, art exhibit, or concert; or watch students participating in the sports program. Since the seminar, the most important part of the program, meets on Monday and Thursday evenings, student visitors are normally on campus from Monday to Tuesday or from Thursday to Friday. If travel arrangements make these time periods impossible, the visitor may telephone the Admissions Office for special help. The calendar in the front of the catalog should be checked to make certain the college will be in session during the time of the visit. Those planning to visit should telephone (1-800-727-9238 for Annapolis or l-800-331-5232 for Santa Fe) or write the Admissions Office giving the dates (and alternates) they have selected. It is also necessary for the Admissions Office to know the approximate time of arrival. When the reservation is confirmed by telephone or letter, the visitor will be told the seminar reading. If it is necessary to cancel the visit, the Admissions Office should be notified as soon as possible. The only expense for visitors is trans- COLLEGE} 55 portation. They will be provided a room in a dormitory and meals in the dinin hall 'h g wit out charge. St. John's students dress informally for tutorials, but more formally for seminar and formal lecture. The seminar readings usually can be located in inexpensive paperback editions in the college bookstore if a visitor has been unable to locate a copy of the book being discussed in seminar. Linens are provided by the college. Visitors arriving weekdays between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. should go to the Admissions Office. On weekends and any day after 5 P.M., visitors should go to the college receptionist. The receptionist is at the switchboard in Pinkney Hall at Annapolis and in Peterson Student Center at Santa Fe. TRANSPORTATION Baltimore-Washington International Airport is located twenty miles from Annapolis. An airport limousine goes to and from Annapolis; visitors are advised to check schedules in advance. Bus service from the airport is not practical. Hourly buses run between Baltimore and Annapolis, and the driver will let visitors off near the campus if asked. Buses from Washington are less frequent and let passengers off on West Street, about six blocks from the college. By car, take Route 50 from Washington; from Baltimore take Route 2 or I-97. Albuquerque International Airport is located sixty miles from the Santa Fe campus. A shuttle service from the airport to Santa Fe is available. Call the Admissions Office for information. Greyhound and Continental bus lines pass through Santa Fe. Amtrak stops at Lamy, N.M., twenty miles from Santa Fe, and taxi service is available to town (reservations should be made with the taxi service one day in advance). Upon arrival at the bus station or at one of the Santa Fe hotels, the easiest way to get to the campus is by taxi. �56 {FEES & FINANCIAL PROCEDURES AND DEADLINES T he college believes that qualified applicants should ~ot be denied the opportumty to attend St. John's College because of limited finances. St. John's therefore maintains a financial aid program to assist eligible s~d~nts to the greatest extent possible wit~m t~e limits of the college's resources. Fmancial aid awards are made solely on the basis of need. A. The following principles underlie St. John's financial aid program: The primary responsibility for financing a college education lies with the student and the student's parents. The college can offer aid only to supplement funds the family provides. I. 2. The ability of a family to meet college expenses is determined by assessing the family's financial strength in terms of income, assets, debts, and number of family members in college. 3· Financial aid may be in the form of a grant, loan, or part-time employment, and will be offered to all students as a package that combines one or more forms of aid. 4. In keeping with the philosophy th~t students should contribute to theu educational expenses, self-help is the first component of a financial aid award. At St. John's, self-help consists of a part-time job and an educational loan. 5. Financial aid is not automatically renewable; rather, students reapply each year they wish to be considered for aid. 6. Students receiving financial aid must meet the criteria for maintaining satisfactory progress in order to retain their award (see page 57). A1n} 7 . Financial aid awards are made_ in accordance with the provisions of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of r964 and Title IX of the Higher Education Act of rg8o, which prohibit discriminatio~ on the basis of race, color, sex, physical handicap, age, marital status, creed or ethnic or national origin. B. The procedure for U.S. ~itizens_ and permanent residents applymg for fmancial aid is as follows: Applicants must file the current Fr~e Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In addition, St. John's requires students seeking institutional grant aid to file the ?oll~ge Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form. These forms may be obtained from secondary schools. the Financial Aid Office at St. John's, or online at www.fafsa.ed.gov or www.profileonline.collegeboard.com. To have an analysis of your forms sentto St. John's, be sure to use the correct code numbers. PROFILE: Annapolis=5598; Santa Fe= 4737 . FAFSA: Annapolis=oo2092; Santa Fe=oo2093. {ST. JOHN'S any federal loans received at any institution and must not owe any refunds to the federal programs. 5. Students applying for and receiving financial aid from St. John's are required to notify the Financial Aid Office of any scholarships, loans, grants, gifts, employment or other financial benefits for which they become eligible; any change in their or their family's financial situation; and changes of name, marital status, and address. I. 2 . As part of the application for financial aid, parents and students must provide copies of their most recent Federal Income Tax Return and W-2 forms. 3 . Self-supporting students are required to meet the federal definition of independence and must comply with federal verification requirements. Independent students must submit p~rental information in order to be considered for institutional assistance. Financial aid packages for self-supporting students are generally not adequate to cover the full need of such applicants because of funding limitations in both federal and institutional programs· 4 . Recipients of federally funded financial assistance must not be in default on C. Non-U.S. citizens applying for financial aid should note the following: r. Financial aid for foreign students is limited and competition for it is strong. For non-U.S. citizens, the maximum institutional assistance available is 65% of current tuition, room, and board. In addition to need-based loans and grants, foreign students are eligible for jobs on campus. They are also eligible to apply for summer employment at St. John's, but the availability of jobs cannot be guaranteed. 2. Non-U.S. citizens should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as early as possible, preferably no later than February r5. This form may be obtained from secondary school counseling offices or from the St. John's Admissions Office. No requests for financial assistance will be considered and no offers of financial aid will be made until after a student has been admitted to the college. D. Following are the deadlines and notification dates for financial aid: FRESHMAN CANDIDATES: Although the college has no deadline for receipt of financial aid applications, candidates for admission who are in need of financial assistance should indicate that need as soon as possible. The FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's COLLEGE} 57 PROFILE form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Applicants should note also that the earlier their aid application is received, the better the chance that their financial need can be fully met. Candidates for admission applying for financial aid after February IS (for fall classes) or after September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly lower chance of receiving all the funds for which they are eligible than those applying earlier. Applications are due by March r from enrolled students who are returning to the college and reapplying for financial aid or are applying for financial aid for the first time. Both the FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Students whose financial aid credentials are received by the Financial Aid Office prior to the March I deadline will be notified of the decision on their application by April r. Students whose applications for financial aid are received after the deadline will not be denied consideration for assistance, but the availability of funds cannot be guaranteed. RETURNING STUDENTS: E. Funds for financial aid awards from the college are available from the sources listed below. Funds for St. John's grants are provided by the college from its own resources. St. John's grants do not need to be repaid. ST. JOHN'S GRANTS: FEDERAL PELL GRANT: This federal program is designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend a post-secondary institution. Pell Grants are intended to be the first form of assistance in a financial aid package and may be combined wit �58 {FEES & FINANCIAL other forms of aid in order to meet a student's demonstrated financial need. Eligibility for the Pell Grant and the amount awarded are determined on the basis of the financial resources of the applicant and the applicant's family. No repayment of this grant is required. FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL The college awards SEOG's to incoming freshmen and enrolled students each year. The grants are awarded to students who demonstrate substantial need with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Eligibility for the SEOG is limited to $4,000 per year. OPPORTUNITY GRANT: This federal program permits the college to give part-time employment to students who need such earnings to pursue their course of study. Students may work only a limited number of hours per week while enrolled and while classes are in session. FEDERAL WoRKSTUDYPROGRAMS: These loans are made by the college directly to students using funds provided, for the most part, by the federal government. Perkins Loans are made available to students with high financial need. The maximum loan is $4,000 for each year of undergraduate study. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the college. The interest rate during repayment is 5%. There is a provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN: The Federal Stafford Loan program enables a student to borrow directly from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association, or other participating lender who is willing to make the educational loan. The maximum amount an undergraduate may borrow is $2,625 for the freshman FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN: {ST. JOHN'S AID} year, $3,500 for the sophomore year, $5,500 for the junior year, and $5,500 for the senior year. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is a full-time student. Repayment begins six months after termination of college attendance. For new borrowers, the interest rate is variable, with a maximum rate of8.25%. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to students who do not meet the financial need criteria for the subsidized Stafford program. Unsubsidized borrowers are charged interest during in-school, grace, and deferment periods. PLUS LOAN: Unsubsidized federal loans are available without regard to financial need to the parents of dependent students. The maximum annual PLUS loan is the student's total estimated cost of education less financial assistance. PLUS Loans have a 3% origination fee, a guarantee fee of up to I%, and a variable interest rate with a cap of 9%. Interest accrues from the date of disbursement for all PLUS loans.

BILLING AND DEPOSITS B illing for tuition and fees is done prior to each semester. Unless otherwise requested, the college presents its bills directly to the student. The charges are due and payable in full by August I for the first semester and December I for the second semester. Those who may wish to pay in monthly installments should ask the Treasurer's Office about the tuition payment plan available to St. John's College students and parents. Since determinations affecting students, faculty, and physical facilities must be made well in advance of the beginning of each academic year, the college must COLLEGE} 59 know in April which returning students will register in September. A deposit of $300 on the fees for the following year is therefore due on or before the second Monday in April for prospective sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the deposit is not paid, the student may have to be placed on a waiting list; students to whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, academic dismissal or (in the case of prospective juniors) failure to enable. If the student should decide not to enroll in the year for which the deposit was made, the deposit is forfeited, and the �60 {FEES FINANCIAL & AID} {FEES & FINANCIAL AID} 61 ment schedule of tuition and fees corresponding to the schedule on which they r~ceive their benefit payments.

John's College is a community dedicated to liberal education. Liberally educated human beings, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John's College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great ~~oks - texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures - because they express most .ongmally and often most perfectly the ideas by which contemporary life is knowmgly or unknowingly governed. These books are the most important teachers. They are both timeless and timely; they illuminate the persisting questions of human existence, and they bear directly on the problems we face today. Their authors can speak to ~s almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is n~t of merely academic concern or remote from our true interests. They change our mmds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. . The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human quest10ns, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. The~_are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treanses, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other. They draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. This conversation, however, is unavoidably one-sided. The great books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To remedy this defect is the goal of the St. John's seminar. Here a number of students of vari~d bac~grounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, attempt to ~~cuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing to submit their oprmons to one another's questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves wit~ the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trymg ~o establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. On the other hand, it may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are - to help the students make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they face. And it is the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic - the arts of language; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy - the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experiment, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. Whatever methods are used, they all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to win knowledge of the world around them and knowledge of themselves in this world and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the wantonness of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. �8 {THE CURRICULUM} THE SEMINAR .... ···········································································································- he heart of the curriculum is the seminar - a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar seventeen to twentyone students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, from until ten or sometimes well beyond if the under discussion has aroused a sustained and conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around eighty pages of but may be much shorter if the text to be difficult. The seminar with a one of the leaders.

In a freshman the students may tend to express opinions with little for relevance to the question or their to the opinions of others. Gradually, their with one another, students learn to with care, ing to the and to the meanings of the terms they use also, that to progress in crowned sions when the seminar as a achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in it is determined rather the necessity of the argument," of facing the crucial or of foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not lead to the answer to a More often than not the question remains open with certain alternatives outlined. The progress of the seminar is not smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and itself in irrelevant difficulties. gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also into rather empty without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar insights far the initial views held any of its members. Under these circumsta..nces, the ry role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the or It is to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise and to the students in every way to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the the most useful device of all is the But the leaders may also take a definite and positive stand and enter into the argument. Hthey do so, however, they can expect no consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. Consequentall opinions must be defended with reason, and any opinion can general consent. The aim is to develop the students' powers of reason and understanding, and to them u1ce1.u~:c,,c """"'"'~of their OW11 submits an essay on some theme suggested the seminar In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in ru""""'~"o, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a tance: it becomes the part of the process called enabling (see page 3I). �JO {THE CURRICULUM} {ST.

The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the :relations berween language on the one hand and thought and on the otheL To do this, it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and of terms; to the :role of metaphors, audlu'!!.Ho:j and images; and to the logical :relations that 1.,VJLH!<"Ccl)r•CJPLOSltIC>US of languages in the first and second years, and French in the third and fourth years) an effective meai-is to these ends.

JOHN'S THE MATHEMATICS TUTORIAL Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning "to learn." It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathematicaL It is equally regrettable that competent :mathematicians a:re often unaware of the philosophical upon which mathematical and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John's is studied as a libernl art, not artificially from what have come to be called the humanities. V\Then mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an of reflective and from treatises chosen not for their matter but also for their elegance and as it is at St. John's, mathematics becomes not the most readily learnable liberal art but &Jso one that p:rovides ready access to others and analogies ~with them. There are two main reasons for mathematics. First, it modern world, even defines it. Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not must have some with the mathematical methods by which irnAmA,,,.. ~, but also must have thought smmn•tlcms that underlie their h is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to students to think about what it mea.ns to count and measure in the universe. The second main reason for mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more Since mathernatics has, as its name implies, a close connection with the human capacity for learning, its is especially useful in students to think about what it means to cor.ne to know something. COLLEGE} 13 To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, learn a good deal of mathematics and they noticeably in :rigor of nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, a:re encouraged to :reflect on their own activity. Scores of of which the following are examples, are raised dming the four years: and how do mathematical carry such conviction?

THE FrNAL EssAY AND ORAL EXAMINATION In the senior year, the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of the four years' work. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at the start of the second semester are :reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes. H the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined about it the committee in an hour-long public examination" No degree is awarded unless both the essay and the oral examination a:re The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student's learning. JOHN'S ACADEMIC STANDING ecause St. John's classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students' progress from to day. The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student's total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied s.i:cd rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John's is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John's, attendance at all regscheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. COLLEGE} 31 time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag m1less a tutor believes that there is a special need for one" If a student's work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college" The normal probationary period is one semester. LETTER GRADES Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on request. The tutor's comprehensive judgment of a student is to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, Dor F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. Hit becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has the student is asked to leave the college. THE DoN RAG SOPHOMORE ENABLING Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a semester, freshmen, and meet with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students' work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors' reports and comment on their own work. Advice may be and given; difficulties may he but grades are not reported or discussed" In the year, conferences some of the don rags.

Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, but they spend their first summer in completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John's seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately one hundred thirty-four semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN'S I n a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John's alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John's graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 2I.9% are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • r8.8% are in communications or the arts; • r7.3% are in business or business-related occupations; {ST. ORDER} • 9.7% work in the field oflaw, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 9.43 work in computers/sciences/mathematics; • 6.9% work in the health professions, mainly as physicians; • 6.63 work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry. • 9.4% choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreign service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ecology. More than 75% of St. John's graduates pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with close to 30% of each graduating class pursuing advanced studies at leading universities across the country. St. John's students consistently score substantially above the national averages on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Most fields of study may be entered directly from St. John's. Some of the more highly technical fields may require additional preparation, either prior to or during the first year of graduate study. St. John's has developed special programs and relationships with specific graduate and professional schools to help entry into fields such as medicine, business, engineering, and teaching. THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS Tutors who have completed two years of teaching at St. John's may receive a master's degree in liberal arts. They must petition the Instruction Committee for permission to present themselves as candidates for the degree. They must then submit a thesis on a topic approved by the Instruction Committee and stand for an oral examination upon it. The topic must have some bearing on the understanding and practice of the liberal arts. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 33 THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION T he Graduate Institute at St. John's College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, modeled on that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curricu1um consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS T he aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts degree (thirty-six semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely integrated program of study. Classes are small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which fourteen to twentyone students engage in a discussion initiated by a tutor's question about the assigned reading. In the tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students (twelve to sixteen) focuses more intensively on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and spring terms, and usually four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master's essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately sixty to eighty students have been enrolled on each campus during each session. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools. �34 35 THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM** DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS LITERATUIIE PRECEPTORIAL (examples) PRECEPT 0 RI AL (examples) SEMINAR Montesquieu: The Spirit ofthe Laws Shakespeare: The history plays Smith: The Wealth ofNations Rousseau: Emile Hegel: The Philosophy ofRight Aristotle: On the Soul Heidegger: Selected Works Spinoza: Ethics Wittgenstein: Philosophical Homer: Iliad, Odyssey Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Choeplzoroe, Eumenides Sophocles: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at ColomtS, Antigone Euripides: Hippolytus, Bacchae, Electra Aristophanes: Frogs Investigations Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathustra MATIIBJVJATICS AND NATURAL SCIENCE HKSTOlllY SEMINAR Chaucer: Canterbury Tales in Middle English* Shakespeare: King Lear Aristotle: Poetics Selected English lyric poetry PRECEPTORIAL (examples) SEMINAR Plato: Timaeus* TUTORIAL Herodotus: Histories"" Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Aristotle: Physics'· Ptolemy: Almagest'' Galileo: Dialogue on the Two Chief World SystentS* Darwin: The Origin a/Species*· Freud: Selected Works Thucydides: Peloponnesian War'' Livy: Early History ofRome* Polybius: Histories'' Plutarch: "Caesar" and "Cato the Younger" TUTORIAL Euclid: Elements* Lobachevski: The The01y of Parallels* I(aramazov PRECEPTORIAL (examples) POLITICS Af"ID SocrnTY SEMINAR Plutarch: "Lycurgus" and "Solon" Plato: Republic AJistotle: Politics'' Machiavelli: The Prince Locke: Second Treatise of Civil Government Rousseau: On the Origin and Foundations ofInequality ]\fa.Tx: The Economic and Philosophic JJ![anuscripts of 1844'' Tocqueville: Democracy in America' 0 TUTORIAL Aristotle: Nicomaclzean Ethics"" Tho1nas Aquinas: Treatise on Law* Hobbes: Leviathan'' Declaration oflndependence Articles of Confederation U.S. Constitution Hamilton, Jay, and Madison: The Federalist* Selected U.S. Supreme Court Decisions Tocqueville: The Old Regime and the French Revolution" Cervantes: Don Quixote Joyce: Ulysses Virgil: Aeneid Eliot: lVliddlemarclz Dostoevski: The Brothers Tacitus: Annals'* Light: Aristotle, Descartes, Huygens, and Newton Lavoisier: Elements of Chemistry Maxwell: Theo1y ofHeat Bacon and the Principles of N atnral Philosophy Galileo: Two New Sciences PHILOSOPHY AN![) THEOLOGY SEMINAR Genesis ExodllS Job iVlatthew Romans Augustine: Confessions* Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologica* Kant: Groundwork ofthe JVletaphysics ofiVlorals Kierkegaard: Philosophical Fragments TUTORIAL Plato: Meno Aristotle: Metaphysics* Descartes: Jl!leditations Hurne: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding Kant: Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics Nietzsche: Beyond Good and Evil* TUTORIAL Augustine: The City of God* Vico: The New Science'' Kant: Idea ofa Universal History Herder: Ideas Toward the Philosophy of the Hist01y of lVlankind* Hegel: Philosophy ofHistory* Marx: The German Ideology Nietzsche: Uses and Abuses of Historyfor Life Dilthey: Introduction to the Human Sciences'r Collingwood: The Idea ofHistory* Strauss: Political Philosophy and History* PRECEPT 0 RI AL (examples) Tolstoy: WarandPeace Machiavelli: The Florentine Histories Weber: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism Arendt: The Origins of Totalitarianism ''''Readings may differ slightly between the two campuses Selections T he aim of the Easte:rn Classics program is to help students seek a deeper understanding of the fundamental and enduring that have been raised thoughtful human beings in the rich traditions of the EasL Its course of consists of thirty-four semester c:redit hours, completed in one calendar year, in the fall and concluding in the summeL It is offered only on the Santa Fe campuso The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese, In the seminar, fourteen to twenty-one students discuss assig11ed readings from a wide range and Japanese texts.

COLLEGE} THE SANTA FE CAMPUS I n the early rg6os the college decided to expand its student body. The Board of Visitors and Governors chose to establish a second campus in the West, rather than sacrifice the virtues of a small campus. St. John's College in Santa Fe was opened in the fall of r964 in New Mexico's capital, founded in r6rn by Spanish colonists. Its population of 65,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the state and of Santa Fe County; with cultural pursuits in the fine arts, museums, and opera; and with archaeological and historical research. Scientists in nearby Los Alamos do research in nuclear physics and related fields. Neighboring institutions of higher education include the Institute of Ameri- {RESIDENCE & can Indian Arts, the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Community College, and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Sixty miles to the south, Albuquerque provides the attractions and conveniences of a city of 500,000 people. The campus of 250 acres lies in the southeast quadrant of the city, two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architecture of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of 7,300 feet, overlooks the city and offers superb views of the Cerrillos, the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The campus includes a classroom building, a laboratory, a library, a student center, a music and fine arts building, an administration building, three clusters of dormitories, and ten furnished, two-bedroom apartments. A conference services office, dining hall, and student health office are also located in these buildings. Each of the r6 dormitory units on the main campus houses from r2 to r8 students, and the eight dorm suites, which house five people, serve as a smaller community of friends within the college. More than half the rooms are singles. The others are designed in suites of two or three rooms to provide each student with the privacy of his own quarters and, at the same time, close companionship with a fellow student. The eight dorm suites house five private rooms. Students living in these dorms are responsible for all cleaning in their rooms, bathroom, and common room. The director of residential life helps students arrange to live with others who share similar opinions about smoking, music, and so on in a dormitory area. Students in Santa Fe find it effective to work out problems and ideas on an individual basis with the administration and STUDENT LIFE} 43 faculty, as well as through the machinery of a formal student government, since both the size of the college and the form of the program are conducive to informal and direct communication. There are permanent student representatives to the Financial Aid Committee, Campus Planning Committee, and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees, which concern themselves with such things as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the artistic, the academic, and the athletic. Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet, and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine Arts Building, the darkroom, and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The college's art gallery, which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists monthly. A student art show is scheduled each year, and awards are given for achievement in pottery, photography, drawing, painting, and making jewelry. The Moon, a student newspaper, provides students in Santa Fe with a medium through which to express their views about both the college and the world at large. Au Verso, a literary magazine, �44 {ST.

STo JOHN"S GRANTS: Funds for St. John's grants are the college from its own resources. St. John's grants do not need to be repaid. FEDERAL PELL GRAJ\fT; This federnl program is designed to financial assistance to those who need it to attend a institution. Pell Grants are intended to be the first form of assistance in a financial aid and may be combined with �58 {FEES & FINANCIAL other forms of aid in order to meet a student's demonstrated financial need. Eligibility for the Pell Grant and the amount awarded are determined on the basis of the financial resources of the applicant and the applicant's family. No repayment of this grant is required. FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT: The college awards SEOG's to incoming freshmen and enrolled students each year. The grants are awarded to students who demonstrate substantial need with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Eligibility for the SEOG is limited to $4,ooo per year. FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAMS: This federal program permits the college to give part-time employment to students who need such earnings to pursue their course of study. Students may work only a limited number of hours per week while enrolled and while classes are in session. FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN: These loans are made by the college directly to students using funds provided, for the most part, by the federal government. Perkins Loans are made available to students with high financial need. The maximum loan is $4,000 for each year of undergraduate study. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the college. The interest rate during repayment is 5%. There is a provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN: The Federal Stafford Loan program enables a student to borrow directly from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association, or other participating lender who is willing to make the educational loan. The maximum amount an undergraduate may borrow is $2,625 for the freshman Arn} {ST. JOHN'S year, $3,500 for the sophomore year, $5,500 for the junior year, and $5,500 for the senior year. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is a full-time student. Repayment begins six months after termination of college attendance. For new borrowers, the interest rate is variable, with a maximum rate of 8.25%. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to students who do not meet the financial need criteria for the subsidized Stafford program. Unsubsidized borrowers are charged interest during in-school, grace, and deferment periods. FEDERAL PLUS LOAN: Unsubsidized federal loans are available without regard to financial need to the parents of dependent students. The maximum annual PLUS loan is the student's total estimated cost of education less financial assistance. PLUS Loans have a 3% origination fee, a guarantee fee of up to r%, and a variable interest rate with a cap of 9%. Interest accrues from the date of disbursement for all PLUS loans. BILLING AND DEPOSITS B illing for tuition and fees is done prior to each semester. Unless otherwise requested, the college presents its bills directly to the student, with a copy to the parents. The charges are due and payable in full by August r for the first semester and December I for the second semester. Those who may wish to pay in monthly installments should ask the treasurer about the tuition payment plan available to St. John's College students and parents. Since determinations affecting students, faculty, and physical facilities must be made well in advance of the beginning of each academic year, the college must COLLEGE} 59 know in April which returning students will register in September. A deposit of $300 on the fees for the following year is therefore due on or before the second Monday in April for prospective sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the deposit is not paid, the student may have to be placed on a waiting list; students to whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, academic dismissal or (in the case of prospective juniors) failure to enable.

St. John's has set eight years as the maximum time frame in which students who are recipients of federal financial aid funds must earn their B.A. degrees. This may be eight years of full- or part-time study. Years in which a student is not enrolled at St. John's will not count in the eight-year limitation. However, years in which a student is repeating work (and thereby not receiving aid) are considered in the determination of years of study. If a student registers for a class in which he or she was previously enrolled for more than three weeks, the class will be considered as repeated work and the student will not be eligible for financial assistance. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the dean in the case of an involuntary withdrawal due to illness or other mitigating circumstances. Students who are permitted by their Don Rag Committees to enter the next semester with incomplete grades on their records are deemed to be making satisfactory progress and are eligible for financial aid. A student who wishes to appeal a decision regarding academic standing should present a letter of appeal to the Dean of the College. The dean will review the situation, taking into account any special circumstances, and determine whether or not the student is making satisfactory progress. VE TERAN s/D EPENDENT S In compliance with federal and state regulations, St. John's has developed a set of policies on minimum standards of progress for enrolled veterans. l. St. John's will report to the Veterans Administration within 30 days all incidents of official termination or change of status that would affect benefits. 2. {ST. AID} Minimum acceptable grades of a C average are expected. If a student falls below this average and/or the student's tutors think there is a serious academic problem, the Don Rag Committee will recommend a consultation with the dean, who may ask the student to leave the college or may place the student on academic probation. During that probation period, support and counseling are available. Failure to meet standards through two semesters of probation must be reported to the V.A. A third semester of certification may not be granted for V.A. benefits without approval of a V.A. counseling psychologist. 3. The V.A. requires that grades be given for all courses undertaken and that all grades be considered in arriving at a grade point average. Should a V.A. enrolled student withdraw from any course at any point subsequent to the midterm point of any semester, a grade ofFwill be assigned. 4. St. John's will report to the V.A. when a student has not successfully completed 75% of the credits attempted. 5. St. John's will inform students on V.A. benefits of this policy on minimum standards of progress. 6. St. John's will inform all veterans and dependents that prior academic credit credentials from post-secondary schools will be evaluated, but prior credits are not applicable to the all-required degree program at the college. However, liberal arts credits previously earned will be deducted from the training time eligibility offered by the Veterans Administration to the transferring student.

John's College is a community dedicated to liberal education. Liberally educated human beings, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John's College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great ~~oks - texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures - because they express most .ongmally and often most perfectly the ideas by which contemporary life is knowmgly or unknowingly governed. These books are the most important teachers. They are both timeless and timely; they illuminate the persisting questions of human existence, and they bear directly on the problems we face today. Their authors can speak to ~s almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is n~t of merely academic concern or remote from our true interests. They change our mmds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. . The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human quest10ns, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. The~_are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treanses, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other. They draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. This conversation, however, is unavoidably one-sided. The great books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To remedy this defect is the goal of the St. John's seminar. Here a number of students of vari~d bac~grounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, attempt to ~~cuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing to submit their oprmons to one another's questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves wit~ the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trymg ~o establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. On the other hand, it may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are - to help the students make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they face. And it is the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic - the arts of language; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy - the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experiment, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. Whatever methods are used, they all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to win knowledge of the world around them and knowledge of themselves in this world and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the wantonness of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. �8 {THE CURRICULUM} THE SEMINAR .... ···········································································································- he heart of the curriculum is the seminar - a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar seventeen to twentyone students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, from until ten or sometimes well beyond if the under discussion has aroused a sustained and conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around eighty pages of but may be much shorter if the text to be difficult. The seminar with a one of the leaders.

In a freshman the students may tend to express opinions with little for relevance to the question or their to the opinions of others. Gradually, their with one another, students learn to with care, ing to the and to the meanings of the terms they use also, that to progress in crowned sions when the seminar as a achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in it is determined rather the necessity of the argument," of facing the crucial or of foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not lead to the answer to a More often than not the question remains open with certain alternatives outlined. The progress of the seminar is not smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and itself in irrelevant difficulties. gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also into rather empty without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar insights far the initial views held any of its members. Under these circumsta..nces, the ry role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the or It is to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise and to the students in every way to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the the most useful device of all is the But the leaders may also take a definite and positive stand and enter into the argument. Hthey do so, however, they can expect no consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. Consequentall opinions must be defended with reason, and any opinion can general consent. The aim is to develop the students' powers of reason and understanding, and to them u1ce1.u~:c,,c """"'"'~of their OW11 submits an essay on some theme suggested the seminar In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in ru""""'~"o, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a tance: it becomes the part of the process called enabling (see page 3I). �JO {THE CURRICULUM} {ST.

By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and Other devices must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three tinAes a lNeek. mores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, around a table, about thirteen to sixteen students and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial conditions for a small group to towaid a careful often translation or demonstration, of an important work ..As in the seminar, students tallc one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities fo:r all students to contribute their measure of instruction and to their fellows. Other tutors often attend, seeking to learn about a particular teach. assignments are made in all classes: mathematics, music, and guage t11to:rials. The students are thus called upon to articulate and organize their thinking in both the written and spoken forms.

In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a p:re0~••rohon of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the :relations berween language on the one hand and thought and on the otheL To do this, it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and of terms; to the :role of metaphors, audlu'!!.Ho:j and images; and to the logical :relations that 1.,VJLH!<"Ccl)r•CJPLOSltIC>US of languages in the first and second years, and French in the third and fourth years) an effective meai-is to these ends.

Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the free from the veil of ready-made translation.

JOHN'S THE MATHEMATICS TUTORIAL Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning "to learn." It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathematicaL It is equally regrettable that competent :mathematicians a:re often unaware of the philosophical upon which mathematical and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John's is studied as a libernl art, not artificially from what have come to be called the humanities. V\Then mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an of reflective and from treatises chosen not for their matter but also for their elegance and as it is at St. John's, mathematics becomes not the most readily learnable liberal art but &Jso one that p:rovides ready access to others and analogies ~with them. There are two main reasons for mathematics. First, it modern world, even defines it. Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not must have some with the mathematical methods by which irnAmA,,,.. ~, but also must have thought smmn•tlcms that underlie their h is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to students to think about what it mea.ns to count and measure in the universe. The second main reason for mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more Since mathernatics has, as its name implies, a close connection with the human capacity for learning, its is especially useful in students to think about what it means to cor.ne to know something. COLLEGE} 13 To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, learn a good deal of mathematics and they noticeably in :rigor of nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, a:re encouraged to :reflect on their own activity. Scores of of which the following are examples, are raised dming the four years: and how do mathematical carry such conviction?

TUESDAY Seminar Seminar Formal Lectme �30 {THE ACADEMIC ESSAYS AND EXAMINATIONS ESSAYS Annually in Annapolis and each semester in Santa Fe, all freshmen, sophomores, and juniors submit essays to their seminar leaders on some aspect of the liberal arts. These essays are based directly upon books in the program. ORAL EXAMINATIONS Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are held. These are conducted by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are 1·11m·• to consider the different parts relation to each other and 0 "-"" 1 ed in any of their classes.

THE FrNAL EssAY AND ORAL EXAMINATION In the senior year, the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of the four years' work. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at the start of the second semester are :reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes. H the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined about it the committee in an hour-long public examination" No degree is awarded unless both the essay and the oral examination a:re The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student's learning. JOHN'S ACADEMIC STANDING ecause St. John's classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students' progress from to day. The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student's total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied s.i:cd rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John's is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John's, attendance at all regscheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. COLLEGE} 31 time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag m1less a tutor believes that there is a special need for one" If a student's work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college" The normal probationary period is one semester. LETTER GRADES Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on request. The tutor's comprehensive judgment of a student is to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, Dor F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. Hit becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has the student is asked to leave the college. THE DoN RAG SOPHOMORE ENABLING Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a semester, freshmen, and meet with their tutors in the don rag. The tutors report to one of the seminar leaders on the students' work during the semester; the students are then invited to respond to their tutors' reports and comment on their own work. Advice may be and given; difficulties may he but grades are not reported or discussed" In the year, conferences some of the don rags.

JOHN'S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS T he student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfactorily is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, but they spend their first summer in completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John's seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately one hundred thirty-four semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN'S I n a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John's alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John's graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 2I.9% are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • r8.8% are in communications or the arts; • r7.3% are in business or business-related occupations; {ST. ORDER} • 9.7% work in the field oflaw, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 9.43 work in computers/sciences/mathematics; • 6.9% work in the health professions, mainly as physicians; • 6.63 work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry. • 9.4% choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreign service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ecology. More than 75% of St. John's graduates pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with close to 30% of each graduating class pursuing advanced studies at leading universities across the country. St. John's students consistently score substantially above the national averages on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Most fields of study may be entered directly from St. John's. Some of the more highly technical fields may require additional preparation, either prior to or during the first year of graduate study. St. John's has developed special programs and relationships with specific graduate and professional schools to help entry into fields such as medicine, business, engineering, and teaching. THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS Tutors who have completed two years of teaching at St. John's may receive a master's degree in liberal arts. They must petition the Instruction Committee for permission to present themselves as candidates for the degree. They must then submit a thesis on a topic approved by the Instruction Committee and stand for an oral examination upon it. The topic must have some bearing on the understanding and practice of the liberal arts. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 33 THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION T he Graduate Institute at St. John's College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, modeled on that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curricu1um consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS T he aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are organized into five segments: Literature, Politics and Society, Philosophy and Theology, Mathematics and Natural Science, and History. Students must complete four of these five segments to earn the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts degree (thirty-six semester credit hours). These segments taken together constitute a closely integrated program of study. Classes are small and based on discussion of classic texts, but differ in significant ways. The heart of the curriculum is the seminar in which fourteen to twentyone students engage in a discussion initiated by a tutor's question about the assigned reading. In the tutorial, a slightly smaller group of students (twelve to sixteen) focuses more intensively on smaller assignments, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and spring terms, and usually four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master's essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately sixty to eighty students have been enrolled on each campus during each session. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools. �34 35 THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM** DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS LITERATUIIE PRECEPTORIAL (examples) PRECEPT 0 RI AL (examples) SEMINAR Montesquieu: The Spirit ofthe Laws Shakespeare: The history plays Smith: The Wealth ofNations Rousseau: Emile Hegel: The Philosophy ofRight Aristotle: On the Soul Heidegger: Selected Works Spinoza: Ethics Wittgenstein: Philosophical Homer: Iliad, Odyssey Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Choeplzoroe, Eumenides Sophocles: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at ColomtS, Antigone Euripides: Hippolytus, Bacchae, Electra Aristophanes: Frogs Investigations Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathustra MATIIBJVJATICS AND NATURAL SCIENCE HKSTOlllY SEMINAR Chaucer: Canterbury Tales in Middle English* Shakespeare: King Lear Aristotle: Poetics Selected English lyric poetry PRECEPTORIAL (examples) SEMINAR Plato: Timaeus* TUTORIAL Herodotus: Histories"" Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Aristotle: Physics'· Ptolemy: Almagest'' Galileo: Dialogue on the Two Chief World SystentS* Darwin: The Origin a/Species*· Freud: Selected Works Thucydides: Peloponnesian War'' Livy: Early History ofRome* Polybius: Histories'' Plutarch: "Caesar" and "Cato the Younger" TUTORIAL Euclid: Elements* Lobachevski: The The01y of Parallels* I(aramazov PRECEPTORIAL (examples) POLITICS Af"ID SocrnTY SEMINAR Plutarch: "Lycurgus" and "Solon" Plato: Republic AJistotle: Politics'' Machiavelli: The Prince Locke: Second Treatise of Civil Government Rousseau: On the Origin and Foundations ofInequality ]\fa.Tx: The Economic and Philosophic JJ![anuscripts of 1844'' Tocqueville: Democracy in America' 0 TUTORIAL Aristotle: Nicomaclzean Ethics"" Tho1nas Aquinas: Treatise on Law* Hobbes: Leviathan'' Declaration oflndependence Articles of Confederation U.S. Constitution Hamilton, Jay, and Madison: The Federalist* Selected U.S. Supreme Court Decisions Tocqueville: The Old Regime and the French Revolution" Cervantes: Don Quixote Joyce: Ulysses Virgil: Aeneid Eliot: lVliddlemarclz Dostoevski: The Brothers Tacitus: Annals'* Light: Aristotle, Descartes, Huygens, and Newton Lavoisier: Elements of Chemistry Maxwell: Theo1y ofHeat Bacon and the Principles of N atnral Philosophy Galileo: Two New Sciences PHILOSOPHY AN![) THEOLOGY SEMINAR Genesis ExodllS Job iVlatthew Romans Augustine: Confessions* Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologica* Kant: Groundwork ofthe JVletaphysics ofiVlorals Kierkegaard: Philosophical Fragments TUTORIAL Plato: Meno Aristotle: Metaphysics* Descartes: Jl!leditations Hurne: An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding Kant: Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics Nietzsche: Beyond Good and Evil* TUTORIAL Augustine: The City of God* Vico: The New Science'' Kant: Idea ofa Universal History Herder: Ideas Toward the Philosophy of the Hist01y of lVlankind* Hegel: Philosophy ofHistory* Marx: The German Ideology Nietzsche: Uses and Abuses of Historyfor Life Dilthey: Introduction to the Human Sciences'r Collingwood: The Idea ofHistory* Strauss: Political Philosophy and History* PRECEPT 0 RI AL (examples) Tolstoy: WarandPeace Machiavelli: The Florentine Histories Weber: The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism Arendt: The Origins of Totalitarianism ''''Readings may differ slightly between the two campuses Selections T he aim of the Easte:rn Classics program is to help students seek a deeper understanding of the fundamental and enduring that have been raised thoughtful human beings in the rich traditions of the EasL Its course of consists of thirty-four semester c:redit hours, completed in one calendar year, in the fall and concluding in the summeL It is offered only on the Santa Fe campuso The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese, In the seminar, fourteen to twenty-one students discuss assig11ed readings from a wide range and Japanese texts.

Athletic facilities on campus include playing fields, tennis courts, a gymnasium with a racquetball court, a well-equipped weight room, a dance studio, and a suspended running track. COLLEGE} THE SANTA FE CAMPUS I n the early rg6os the college decided to expand its student body. The Board of Visitors and Governors chose to establish a second campus in the West, rather than sacrifice the virtues of a small campus. St. John's College in Santa Fe was opened in the fall of r964 in New Mexico's capital, founded in r6rn by Spanish colonists. Its population of 65,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the state and of Santa Fe County; with cultural pursuits in the fine arts, museums, and opera; and with archaeological and historical research. Scientists in nearby Los Alamos do research in nuclear physics and related fields. Neighboring institutions of higher education include the Institute of Ameri- {RESIDENCE & can Indian Arts, the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Community College, and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Sixty miles to the south, Albuquerque provides the attractions and conveniences of a city of 500,000 people. The campus of 250 acres lies in the southeast quadrant of the city, two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architecture of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of 7,300 feet, overlooks the city and offers superb views of the Cerrillos, the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The campus includes a classroom building, a laboratory, a library, a student center, a music and fine arts building, an administration building, three clusters of dormitories, and ten furnished, two-bedroom apartments. A conference services office, dining hall, and student health office are also located in these buildings. Each of the r6 dormitory units on the main campus houses from r2 to r8 students, and the eight dorm suites, which house five people, serve as a smaller community of friends within the college. More than half the rooms are singles. The others are designed in suites of two or three rooms to provide each student with the privacy of his own quarters and, at the same time, close companionship with a fellow student. The eight dorm suites house five private rooms. Students living in these dorms are responsible for all cleaning in their rooms, bathroom, and common room. The director of residential life helps students arrange to live with others who share similar opinions about smoking, music, and so on in a dormitory area. Students in Santa Fe find it effective to work out problems and ideas on an individual basis with the administration and STUDENT LIFE} 43 faculty, as well as through the machinery of a formal student government, since both the size of the college and the form of the program are conducive to informal and direct communication. There are permanent student representatives to the Financial Aid Committee, Campus Planning Committee, and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees, which concern themselves with such things as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the artistic, the academic, and the athletic. Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet, and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine Arts Building, the darkroom, and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The college's art gallery, which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists monthly. A student art show is scheduled each year, and awards are given for achievement in pottery, photography, drawing, painting, and making jewelry. The Moon, a student newspaper, provides students in Santa Fe with a medium through which to express their views about both the college and the world at large. Au Verso, a literary magazine, �44 {ST.

STo JOHN"S GRANTS: Funds for St. John's grants are the college from its own resources. St. John's grants do not need to be repaid. FEDERAL PELL GRAJ\fT; This federnl program is designed to financial assistance to those who need it to attend a institution. Pell Grants are intended to be the first form of assistance in a financial aid and may be combined with �58 {FEES & FINANCIAL other forms of aid in order to meet a student's demonstrated financial need. Eligibility for the Pell Grant and the amount awarded are determined on the basis of the financial resources of the applicant and the applicant's family. No repayment of this grant is required. FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT: The college awards SEOG's to incoming freshmen and enrolled students each year. The grants are awarded to students who demonstrate substantial need with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Eligibility for the SEOG is limited to $4,ooo per year. FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAMS: This federal program permits the college to give part-time employment to students who need such earnings to pursue their course of study. Students may work only a limited number of hours per week while enrolled and while classes are in session. FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN: These loans are made by the college directly to students using funds provided, for the most part, by the federal government. Perkins Loans are made available to students with high financial need. The maximum loan is $4,000 for each year of undergraduate study. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the college. The interest rate during repayment is 5%. There is a provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN: The Federal Stafford Loan program enables a student to borrow directly from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association, or other participating lender who is willing to make the educational loan. The maximum amount an undergraduate may borrow is $2,625 for the freshman Arn} {ST. JOHN'S year, $3,500 for the sophomore year, $5,500 for the junior year, and $5,500 for the senior year. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is a full-time student. Repayment begins six months after termination of college attendance. For new borrowers, the interest rate is variable, with a maximum rate of 8.25%. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to students who do not meet the financial need criteria for the subsidized Stafford program. Unsubsidized borrowers are charged interest during in-school, grace, and deferment periods. FEDERAL PLUS LOAN: Unsubsidized federal loans are available without regard to financial need to the parents of dependent students. The maximum annual PLUS loan is the student's total estimated cost of education less financial assistance. PLUS Loans have a 3% origination fee, a guarantee fee of up to r%, and a variable interest rate with a cap of 9%. Interest accrues from the date of disbursement for all PLUS loans. BILLING AND DEPOSITS B illing for tuition and fees is done prior to each semester. Unless otherwise requested, the college presents its bills directly to the student, with a copy to the parents. The charges are due and payable in full by August r for the first semester and December I for the second semester. Those who may wish to pay in monthly installments should ask the treasurer about the tuition payment plan available to St. John's College students and parents. Since determinations affecting students, faculty, and physical facilities must be made well in advance of the beginning of each academic year, the college must COLLEGE} 59 know in April which returning students will register in September. A deposit of $300 on the fees for the following year is therefore due on or before the second Monday in April for prospective sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the deposit is not paid, the student may have to be placed on a waiting list; students to whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, academic dismissal or (in the case of prospective juniors) failure to enable.

The Don Rag Committee assesses a student's work in all parts of the program and approves its quality before recommending to the dean that the student be permitted to enter the next semesteL This assessment is conducted in the student's presence by all of his or her tutors in common, At the end of the sophomore year, the dean and the Instruction Committee, with the advice of the tutors, review all of the student's work dming the first two years and determine whether or not the student will be allm"led to continueo Under some circumstances a student who has not satisfactorily a semester's work may be allowed to reueat the work in order to remain at the " Students are not assistance (federal or while are repeating worlc Sometimes students are to enter a new semester with the requirement that they meet conditions during the course of the semestn. In these cases, a student is not work and is deemed to be making satisfactory progress until the dean determines that the conditions have not been meto When the conditions have not been met, the dean, in consultation with the Instruction decides what further determination is to be made of the case. �64 {FEES & FINANCIAL Federal regulations require that an institution set a maximum time frame in which students must complete their educational objectives. St. John's has set eight years as the maximum time frame in which students who are recipients of federal financial aid funds must earn their B.A. degrees. This may be eight years of full- or part-time study. Years in which a student is not enrolled at St. John's will not count in the eight-year limitation. However, years in which a student is repeating work (and thereby not receiving aid) are considered in the determination of years of study. If a student registers for a class in which he or she was previously enrolled for more than three weeks, the class will be considered as repeated work and the student will not be eligible for financial assistance. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the dean in the case of an involuntary withdrawal due to illness or other mitigating circumstances. Students who are permitted by their Don Rag Committees to enter the next semester with incomplete grades on their records are deemed to be making satisfactory progress and are eligible for financial aid. A student who wishes to appeal a decision regarding academic standing should present a letter of appeal to the Dean of the College. The dean will review the situation, taking into account any special circumstances, and determine whether or not the student is making satisfactory progress. VE TERAN s/D EPENDENT S In compliance with federal and state regulations, St. John's has developed a set of policies on minimum standards of progress for enrolled veterans. l. St. John's will report to the Veterans Administration within 30 days all incidents of official termination or change of status that would affect benefits. 2. {ST. AID} Minimum acceptable grades of a C average are expected. If a student falls below this average and/or the student's tutors think there is a serious academic problem, the Don Rag Committee will recommend a consultation with the dean, who may ask the student to leave the college or may place the student on academic probation. During that probation period, support and counseling are available. Failure to meet standards through two semesters of probation must be reported to the V.A. A third semester of certification may not be granted for V.A. benefits without approval of a V.A. counseling psychologist. 3. The V.A. requires that grades be given for all courses undertaken and that all grades be considered in arriving at a grade point average. Should a V.A. enrolled student withdraw from any course at any point subsequent to the midterm point of any semester, a grade ofFwill be assigned. 4. St. John's will report to the V.A. when a student has not successfully completed 75% of the credits attempted. 5. St. John's will inform students on V.A. benefits of this policy on minimum standards of progress. 6. St. John's will inform all veterans and dependents that prior academic credit credentials from post-secondary schools will be evaluated, but prior credits are not applicable to the all-required degree program at the college. However, liberal arts credits previously earned will be deducted from the training time eligibility offered by the Veterans Administration to the transferring student.

JOHN'S COLLEGE} 6 {INTRODUCTION} t. John's College is a community dedicated to liberal education. Liberally educated human beings, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John's College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great books - texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures - because they express most originally and often most perfectly the ideas by which contemporary life is knowingly or unknowingly governed. These books are the most important teachers. They are both timeless and timely; they illuminate the persisting questions of human existence, and they bear directly on the problems we face today. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not of merely academic concern or remote from our true interests. They change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human questions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treatises, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other. They draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. This conversation, however, is unavoidably one-sided. The great books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To remedy this defect is the goal of the St. John's seminar. Here a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, attempt to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing .to submit their opinions to one another's questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. On the other hand, it may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions 7 they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are - to help the students make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they face. And it is the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. AB much as possible, the ~c:~al.instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and nntJ.atJ.ve of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic - the arts of language; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy - the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experiment, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. Whatever methods are used, they all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to win knowledge of the world around them and knowledge of themselves in this world and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the wantonness of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. I' �{ST. 8 {THE THE SEMINAR T JOHN'S COLLEGE} 9 CURRICULUM} ..................................................................................................................- he heart of the curriculum is the seminar - a discussion of assigned readings from the boo~s of the program. In each semmar seventeen to twentyone students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, from eight until ten or sometimes well beyond if the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around eighty pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. The seminar begins with a question asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists mostly of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not just to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at will. The resulting informality is temp ere d by the use of formal modes of address. Once underway, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and aggression and to bring to the surface the students' opinions and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity's ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading, but bearing only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the coffee shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument - an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and trying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn, gradually also, that to some extent the procedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy, and it can require a different approach. Such progress in learning together may be crowned by sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of "following the argument," of facing the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question remains open with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the "right" opinion or interpretation. It is to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections and to help the students in every way possible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question "Why?" But the leaders may also take a definite and positive stand and enter directly into the 111.'gument. If they do so, however, they can ~ct no special consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. Consequentlf• all opinions must be defended with reaAn, and any single opinion can prevail .l!llllY by general consent. The aim is always to develop the students' powers of reason and understanding, and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, sophomore, and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes the major part of the process called enabling (see page 3r). �10 {THE THE PRECEPTORIAL F {ST. CURRICULUM} or about seven to eight weeks in the middle of the year the seminars of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually given a choice of sixteen to twenty preceptorials on books or subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer them. Students may suggest a topic and invite a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the program, some preceptorials may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more than ten students in a preceptorial. Guided by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by the seminar. Usually, the students' work is completed by the writing of papers, which may be read in draft to the preceptorial and criticized by the other members.

JOHN'S THE TUTORIALS T he semiiiar cannot suffice as the only setting for liberal education. By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and writing. Other learning devices must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, around a table, about thirteen to sixteen students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to work together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstration, of an important work. As in the seminar, students talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and insight to their fellows. Other tutors often attend, seeking to learn about a particular subject that they may later teach. Writing assignments are normally made in all classes: mathematics, music, and laboratory sections, as well as in language tutorials. The students are thus called upon continually to articulate and organize their thinking in both the written and spoken forms. THE LANGUAGE TUTORIAL Specialization in higher education has led to a profound neglect oflanguage skills. As '~unt:ry is separated from country by the 'er oflanguage, so profession is sepad from profession by technical jargon. arily, the language tutorial attempts :remedy this condition by training in the COLLEGE} 11 means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and ambiguities of terms; to the role of metaphors, analogies and images; and to the logical relations that connect propositions. The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years, and French in the third and fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the students learn something of the nature of languages in general and of their own in particular. During the four years, then, they study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, they study their own language. They discover the resources of articulate speech and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent and effective - if it is to be adequate and persuasive. In the beginning, the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language being studied. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one that is concerned with particular details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work. Those are matters �12 {THE CURRICULUM} that do not come directly into seminar discussions. The students' concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign language, but the students can reasonably expect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they study. To experience the individuality of another language is to extend the boundaries of one's sensibility. The choice of foreign languages is in part dictated by the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary. Latin and German might be used without changing the pattern and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes well with the freshman seminar and mathematics tutorial, and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of the first. The second year ends with analysis and discussion of works by Shakespeare, Donne, and other English poets. The French of the third year begins with a brief, intensive study of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading of simple French. Students already fluent in French may be exempted from these early stages. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form and content are related to appropriate writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of their models. In the second semester a play is read.- Racine's Phaedre. The principal activity of the fourth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal. Its immediate object is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of language. Writing assignments include exercises in translation more ambitious than those attempted in the third year. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} THE MATHEMATICS TUTORIAL Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested by the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning "to learn." It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathematical. It is equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John's is studied as a liberal art, not artificially separated from what have come to be called the humanities. When mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for their elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John's, mathematics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal art but also one that provides ready access to others and significant analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studying mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines it. Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarity with the mathematical methods by which it is managed, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their application. It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to help students to think about what it means to count and measure things in the universe. The second main reason for studying mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically. Since mathe_matics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human capacity for learning, its study is especially useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know something. 13 To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? What is the relation of logic to mathematics? What do "better" and "worse," "ugly" and "beautiful" signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are there "mathematical objects"? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid's organization of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects - its central expression found in the theory of ratios - which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy's Almagest, centering their attention on the problem of "hypotheses" constructed to "save the appearances" in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between �14 {THE {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} CURRICULUM} the mathematics tutorial at St. John's and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: His work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study Copernicus' transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into heliocentric form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an understanding of algebra as the "analytic art" in general. In the third year, calculus is studied both analytically in its modern form and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. This is followed by an examination of Dedekind's theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The students then return to Newton's Principia to take up its treatment of astronomy, in which Newton brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomywith a "dynamic" theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski's approach to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature 15 of the geometric art as a whole. Seniors also study Einstein's special theory ofrelativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. In Santa Fe, the mathematics and language tutorials of the senior year are replaced for part of the second semester with a visual arts tutorial that includes a close study of classic paintings, beginning with Giotto's frescoes and ending with Picasso'sLes Demoiselles d'Avignon. THE Music TUTORIAL One of the aims of the St. John's program has been to restore music as a liberal art to the curriculum. The study of music at St. John's is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind's power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the ratios among whole numbers. In particular, the music program at St. John's aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year, students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place primarily by singing, and by the second semester the students perform some of the great choral works. In the sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides continuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoric, ansl poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial includes an investigation of rhythm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the 'diatonic system, a study of the ratios of fuusical intervals, and a consideration of :tflelody, counterpoint, and harmony. None !:If these are done apart from the sounding l1:ality of good music. The inventions of h, the songs of Schubert, the masses of estrina, the operas of Mozart, and the trumental works of Beethoven are the real textbooks. In the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. �................................... ..... --------------~----- 16 {THE CURRICULUM} THE LABORATORY T hree hundred years ago, algebra and the ar~s of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by Rene Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, politics, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the St. John's program and one that the college takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last two years of the program exhibit the far-reaching changes that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period from Homer to Descartes. Modern mathematics has made possible the exploration of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast project of study conceived by the great thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. Liberal learning is concerned with the artifices of the human mind and hand that help us to relate our experiences to our understanding. For this purpose, St. John's has set up a three-year laboratory in the natural sciences, wherein characteristic and related topics of physics, biology, and chemistry are pursued. There is the art of measurement, which involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measurement; crucial experiments are reproduced; the interplay of hypothesis, theory, and fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is sup- ----~~~~~~~~~----------------------------.i '' {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 17 ported by the mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques. The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research. It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills. The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies :from the humanities, as if they were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. There need not be "two cultures." Different fields of exploration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems :from sources common to all intellectual life. THE ORGANIZATION OF THE LABORATORY WORK The laboratory program is largely determined by three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the study of science: (r) The formally scheduled experimental work must be combined with a full and :free discussion of the instruments and principles involved in it. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific discipline to its roots in principle, assumption, and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters are to be selected as problems in which the roles ~f theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (3) The schedule of laboratory work should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation. The students must have time to satisfy themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can they come to a mature understanding of the sciences called laboratory section consists of fourto sixteen students working under 'dance of a tutor, with the help of advanced students serving as assisSections meet two or three times a • A laboratory session may be used position and discussion of theory, erimentation, or for both, as the of the work requires. Occasionally, oratory meeting is reserved for the discussion of a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Harvey, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory an.d in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. �18 {THE LABORATORY TOPICS THE FIRST YEAR The general topics of study have been chosen from elementary physical and biological sciences. The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: The laboratory begins with twelve weeks devoted to topics in observational biology: classification of types, anatomical structure, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, and embryological development. Close observation by the naked eye or with microscopes is accompanied by constant theoretical interpretation, based on reading important works of biological scientists. Here the student confronts organisms as self-moving entities with properties of wholeness, intimately dependent on, yet distinct from, the surrounding world. The freshman laboratory next turns to the nonliving in a search for fundamental laws. Archimedes on the lever and on hydrostatics is studied, then the laws of equilibrium of gases, temperature, and ISTYEAR 12 20 weeks: Observational biology weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry ~.ll:r.>.Y~~...............................................................................

JOHN'S CURRICULUM} calorimetry are taken up, experimentally and in discussion of the relevant theories. These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the theory that matter is composed of discrete particles. The student compares the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance and substantial change, and goes on to study and discuss important original texts bearing on the development of the atomic-molecular theory. Experiments are performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the physical and chemical transformation of which they speak. The year's work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this determination. THE THIRD YEAR The third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional divisions of physics, such as mechanics, optics, and electromagnetism. Throughout the year, experimentation is accompanied by the reading of important original writings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, and Maxwell. The mathematical tools of physics are to be put to work in the laboratory at the same time that their rigorous development is pursued in the mathematics tutoAs the tools of the calculus become 'tl!"\'ailable, the emphasis shifts from a ,~ect, qualitative description of force, ;~cceleration, work, energy, and potential fields to their reformulation in terms of 'ii:rivative and integral; at the same time, ~e physical concepts serve to illustrate · ~~ mathematical ideas. The concepts of ~echanics are to be used to formulate native theories of light - corpuscular nrus. COLLEGE} 19 and wave - and the success of either theory in accounting for optical phenomena is examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromagnetic theory of light. THE FOURTH YEAR In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first ten weeks, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism - but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrodinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. Following the course of thought in Schrodinger's What is Life?, the senior laboratory then turns or returns to biologic al topics, and first to genetics, to Mendel's theory of heredity and its development through the experimentation and interpretation by T. H. Morgan and his associates. The results of laboratory studies of bacteria populations are considered from the standpoint of their evolutionary significance in the papers of Hardt and of Luria and Delbruck. Next, fundamental papers leading to present-day molecular biology - for instance by Beadle and Tatum, Watson and Crick, Jacob and Monod - are studied. �20 {TH.E THE FORMAL LECTURE T {ST. CURRICULUM} he curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar readings or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students' readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: It inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability of what they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials. Others may have a lasting effect on the direction that students' work takes within the framework of the program.

JOHN'S COLLEGE} U R R I C U L U M } ST. JOHN'S LIST OF GREAT BOOKS T he list of books that serves as the core of the curriculum had its beginnings at Columbia College, at the University of Chicago, and at the University of Virginia. Since r937, it has been under continuous review at St. John's College. The distribution of the books over the four years is significant. More than two thousand years of intellectual history form the background of the first two years; about three hundred years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understanding of the liberal arts; the second year contains books from the Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance periods; the third year has books of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most of which were written in modern languages; the fourth year brings the reading into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The chronological order in which the books are read is primarily a matter of convenience and intelligibility; it does not imply a historical approach to the subject matter. The St. John's curriculum seeks to convey to students an understanding of the fundamental problems that human beings have to face today and at all times. It invites them to reflect both on their continnities and their discontinnities. The list of books that constitute the core of the St. John's program is subject to review by the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Those listed here are read at one or both campuses. Books read in seminar are indicated by an asterisk. 23 FRESHMAN YEAR *Homer: *Aeschylus: *Sophocles: *Thucydides: *Euripides: *Herodotus: *Aristophanes: *Plato: Aristotle: Euclid: *Lucretius: "'Plutarch: Nicomachus: Lavoisier: Harvey: Essays by: lliad, Odyssey Agamemnon, Libation Bearers, Eumenides, Prometheus Bound Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone, Philoctetes Peloponnesian War Hippolytus, Bacchae Histories Clouds Meno, Gorgias, Republic, Apology, Crito, Phaedo, Symposium, Parmenides, Theaetetus, Sophist, Timaeus, Phaedrus *Poetics, *Physics, *Metaphysics, *Nicomachean Ethics, On Generation and Corruption, *Politics, Parts ofAnimals, Generation ofAnimals Elements On the Nature ofThings "Lycurgus," "Solon" Arithmetic Elements of Chemistry Motion ofthe Heart and Blood Archimedes, Fahrenheit, Avogadro, Dalton, Cannizzaro, Virchow, Mariotte, Driesch, Gay-Lussac, Spemann, Stears, J.J.

Bernoulli Faraday Maxwell 0rsted Ampere Mozart Mendel Wagner J. J. Thomson Bohr Millikan SchrOdinger Darwin Freud Einstein Heisenberg Watson & Crick Jacob&Monod A t St. John's, the teaching members of the faculty are called tutors. The title professor is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying the text that is the principal teacher of the class -it might be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wrote from the high point of their learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the tutors is to question, to listen and to help. 3,'he help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration or explanation, but first of all the tutor will on the students to try to help themes. In order that conversations at St. John's '11 not be limited to what fits neatly side a single discipline, it is essential t St. John's tutors re-educate thems to acquire increased understanding ose parts of the program that are outtheir field of post-graduate training. example, tutors with advanced ees in mathematics would prepare c 0 R D E R } 27 themselves to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage ofthis for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not parry their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. There are no departments! The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John's program. This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and they are continually teaching their colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John's than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up. Leaders of such groups are sometimes relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by themselves or the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John's curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John's. �28 {THE ACADEMIC P T THE LIBRARY T he books chosen for study at St. John's are collected in the best editions and translations that can be obtained. These works form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes serving as secondary sources and representative works in the major fields of learning. Holdings are most extensive in philosophy, literature, and the history of science. The library also provides newspapers and periodicals, audio-visual materials, multiple copies of some seminar readings, and other smaller collections. A faculty committee assists the librarians with collection development. The Greenfield Library in Annapolis houses a collection of approximately rno,ooo volumes. The library building, renovated in r996, provides comfortable study spaces as well as computer terminals with access to the catalogue, other JOHN'S SCHEDULES THE INSTRUCTION COMMITTEE he Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the presidents on appointments to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and twelve tutors, six: elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year. The full committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those anl).ual meetings. {ST. ORDER} library databases, and the Internet. The Music Library in Mellon Hall contains scores and recorded music. The Faith and John Meem Library opened in Santa Fe in r990. The library now contains more than 65,000 volumes, and offers a variety of study areas designed to accommodate up to half of the student body at a given time, including two 24-hour study rooms, and a music room with listening carrels and more than 8,ooo compact disks, records, and tapes. The library also provides public terminals for accessing electronic resources and the Internet. Both libraries hold interesting special collections, including several hundred early or first editions of works read in the program. Annapolis has the Bray Collection, dating from r696 and known as the "first public library in America," as well as the Prettyman Collection of signed and inscribed books. The Witter Bynner Collection and the Edgar Allen Poe Collection in Santa Fe contain first editions of each poet, as well as other belles lettres. In addition, the Santa Fe library contains a faculty and alumni publications collection and the Holtzman Music Collection. erhaps the most distinctive mark of St. John's College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the w~eks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid's Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the ' implications for liberty in Pericles' funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. 29 COLLEGE} Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods of laboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-andone-half hours to four-and-one-half hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six: hours each week in the laboratory. Two evenings, from eight to ten, all students attend a seminar. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to nineteen hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of sixteen weeks each. A SAMPLE FRESHMAN SCHEDULE, ANNAPOLIS MONDAY 9:00 - 10:10 A.M.

These essays are based directly upon books in the program. ORAL EXAMINATIONS Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are held. These are conducted by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of their study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of their classes. For freshmen, the first oral examination of the year is given before the winter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} ORDER} Before the second semester of their sophomore year, students must pass an examination in elementary algebra and trigonometry. Review sessions are offered. THE FINAL EssAY AND ORAL EXAMINATION In the senior year, the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of the four years' work. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at the start of the second semester are reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes. If the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined about it by the committee in an hour-long public examination. No degree is awarded unless both the essay and the oral examination are satisfactory. The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student's learning. ACADEMIC STANDING B ecause St. John's classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students' progress from day to day. The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student's total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of ability and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John's is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for grades. Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John's, attendance at all regularly scheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. 31 time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student's work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. LETTER GRADES Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on :request. The tutor's comprehensive judgment of a student is :reported to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, Dor F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has stopped, the student is asked to leave the college. SOPHOMORE ENABLING Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a ·~emester, freshmen, sophomores, and 'Juniors meet with their tutors in the don . The tutors report to one of the semileaders on the students' work during semester; the students are then invitrespond to their tutors' reports and ent on their own work. Advice may requested and given; difficulties may aired; but grades are not reported or ssed. the junior year, conferences replace of the don rags. In conferences, stu:report on their own work, and then tors comment on that report. By the Sophomore enabling is a review by the Instruction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of sophomores, of the student's learning during the two years spent in the college. The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling procedure. Consequently, no students are enabled to enter the junior class unless they have written a satisfactory essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are sufficiently prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student writing an acceptable senior essay. �32 {THE ACADEMIC THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS T he student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfactorily is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, but they spend their first summer in completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John's seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately one hundred thirty-two semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN'S I n a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John's alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John's graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 2r.93 are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • r8.83 are in communications or the arts; • r7.33 are in business or business-related occupations; {ST. JOHN'S ORDER} • 9. 73 work in the field oflaw, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 9.43 work in computers/sciences/mathematics; • 6.93 work in the health professions, mainly as physicians; • 6.63 work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry. • 9-43 choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreign service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ecology. More than 753 of St. John's graduates pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with close to 303 of each graduating class pursuing advanced studies at leading universities across the country. St. John's students consistently score substantially above the national averages on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Most fields of study may be entered directly from St. John's. Some of the more highly technical fields may require additional preparation, either prior to or during the first year of graduate study. St. John's has developed special programs and relationships with specific graduate and professional schools to help entry into fields such as medicine, business, engineering, and teaching. THE ST. }OHN's DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS Tutors who have completed two years of teaching at St. John's may receive a master's degree in liberal arts. They must petition the Instruction Committee for permission to present themselves as candidates for the degree. They must then submit a thesis on a topic approved by the Instruction Committee and stand for an oral examination upon it. The topic must have some bearing on the understanding and practice of the liberal arts. COLLEGE} 33 I THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION T he Graduate Institute at St. John's College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, modeled on that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS T he aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are orga.ni:zed into five segments: Literature, Poliand Society, Philosophy and TheoloMathematics and Natural Science, and "story. Students must complete four of ese five segments to earn the Master of ts in Liberal Arts degree (thirty-six ester credit hours). These segments en together constitute a closely inteted program of study. asses are small and based on discusof classic texts, but differ in signifiways. The heart of the curriculum is seminar in which fourteen to twentystudents engage in a discussion initiby a tutor's question about the dreading. In the tutorial, a slightly group of students (twelve to sixuses more intensively on smaller ents, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and spring terms, and usually four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master's essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately sixty to eighty students have been enrolled on each campus during each session. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools. �35 34 THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM** .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Its course of study consists of thirty-four semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Santa Fe campus. The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. In the seminar, fourteen to twenty-one students discuss assigned readings from a wide range oflndian, Chinese, and Japanese texts. In the tutorial, twelve to fifteen students study either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. The goal is not mastery, but rather sufficient familiarity with the elements of the languages to gain some insight into their structure and to trans- late selected short passages from classical texts. In the preceptorial, eight to twelve students study a single work or theme for an eight-week period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. ·Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged. �..................................--------------------""-'!.....----~~~~~~--,-~----------------------------.~ 37 36 THE EASTERN CLASSICS CURRICULUM ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Such activities in Annapolis are sponsored both by the Director of Athletics and by the Student Polity. In Santa Fe they are organized by the Student Activities Office (SAO), which is responsible for providing instruction and equipment. THE ANNAPOLIS CAMPUS .................................................................................................................. ·"'.···s ~ ince its founding as King William's School in r696, St. John's has been situated in the colonial seaport town of Annapolis, capital of the State of Maryland. Its population of 50,000 'people is occupied principally with the i!)iOVernment of the state and of Anne Arundel County; with the training of • ~idshipmen at the United States Naval ~ademy; with the fish, crab, and oyster ~dustry; and with the sailing and recre•· nal activities of the Chesapeake Bay. The campus of thirty-six acres lies in 'tbe historic district, adjoining College Creek, one block from the State House d across the street from the Naval Acady yard. The fifteen buildings include -century historic homes (now classs, offices, and a dormitory), rgthVictorian structures, and 2oth-cenbuildings designed to complement er ones. There are six student <lorries, offering single and double s. .he community of students has gov.d itself since r945 with elected offid delegates representing each dorand the off-campus constituency. dent Polity representatives, called te Council, meet once a week requests from students for funds, ind students of their responsibili- sT u D E N T L I F E } 39 ties to the college community, and to express student opinion on common problems. The Delegate Council also meets with members of the college administration to discuss matters of mutual concern and maintains a Student Committee on Instruction, which works with the Faculty Instruction Committee on academic matters. A Food Committee works with the dining hall manager to develop satisfactory dishes for regular and vegetarian menus. The Gadfly, a student newspaper, provides a second medium for expression of opinion to the community as a whole . Controversy ranges from petty to vital; essays, reviews, and news are also included. Energeia, the college's student-run literary magazine, is published annually and contains longer and more polished essays, poetry, and fiction. Students are also welcome to contribute to The Reporter and The St. John's Review, the two official publications of St. John's . Extracurricular organizations at St. John's are generally informal. Some continue year after year, while others spring up and die out as the individual members of the community come and go. Many extracurricular activities grow directly out of the curriculum as students' interests overflow from the classroom. The past years have seen small classes and study groups - some led by students, others by tutors - in harmony, Latin, Chinese, German, the New Testament, Hegel, Leibniz, African-American literature, and selected women writers. Other activities stem from interests independent of the college curriculum, such as astronomy, dance, and the martial arts . A network of PC and Macintosh computers is available for student use in a computer lab. The lab, open 24 hours a day, serves mainly to provide students with free access to word-processing and Internet services. Students can use the lab for writing essays, corresponding by �40 { .S T . J0 H N.' S e-mail, printing out papers written on personal computers, and exploring the World Wide Web. Individual computer stations also are available in the library. Theater life is active. The King William Players stage one or two classical plays a year, perform one or two modern works, and produce several one-act plays. Recent productions have included The Winter's Tale, The Nature and Purpose of the Universe, Phaedre, The Midlife Crisis of Dionysus and The Tempest. Every weekend, the student film club presents foreign and domestic films - the classics of cinema art. The selection is eclectic: recent screenings have included Reservoir Dogs, Potemkin, Citizen Kane, and The Seventh Seal. There is also a spe- C 0 L L E G E } cial winter film series on Wednesday nights. Music is pursued in groups and individually. Voice and instrumental ensembles train new members and perform at collegia at the end of each semester. The Small Chorus has recently presented concerts featuring Faure's Requiem, Schubert's Mass in G, and early vocal music. The college provides practice rooms and pianos and a music library of scores and recordings. Private study can be easily arranged on campus or in town. Individual artistic expression needs a time for training and a place to work. Permanent facilities, such as the art studio, ceramic studio, woodworking shop, photography darkroom, and stage floor, {RESIDENCE & provide places to develop specific skills. The college's Mitchell Art Gallery specializes in circulating exhibitions by artists of major stature. Recent shows have included Rembrandt Etchings, Japanese Woodblock Prints, The Figure in 20th Century Sculpture and Space and Place: Mapmaking East and West. Lectures and discussions are scheduled during each show. An exhibit in the spring displays work by members of the college community. There are periodic trips to galleries and museums in Washington and Baltimore; transportation is free of charge for St. John's students. Various artists teaching in their fields of specialization conduct classes in drawing, painting, sculpture, and pottery throughout the year. Materials and tools are furnished without charge in roost cases. Parties, an important part of community life where students and tutors meet informally, come in several varieties. The St. John's Waltz Committee arranges fre. quent parties in the Great Hall, featuring .waltzes and big-band swing music. These ~arties include the Halloween Masked ~all, Mid-Winter Ball, Croquet Waltz, ring Cotillion, and Commencement tz. Rock parties are held regularly in Coffee Shop by members of the junior who also organize Reality Weekend, stival in late spring. Reality begins student skits and parodies, and then STUDENT LIFE} 41 provides two full days of picnicking, games, movies, and music. There are Sunday concerts at the college, and the Political Forum invites lecturers to speak on weekday evenings. Annapolis itself offers church groups of all denominations, synagogues, concerts, plays, historic tours, seafood, sailing, the Naval Academy, hiking, cycling, state government, political work, community service groups, and so on. Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland, both within an hour's drive, offer activities too numerous to mention; the Director of Student Activities schedules trips to both cities to attend plays and films, as well as for individual explorations. ATHLETICS The college provides an extensive intramural sports program that includes team competition in soccer, flag football, volleyball, lacrosse, and croquet, as well as individual tournaments in tennis and table tennis. This highly organized and very popular program, for both men and women, is a mainstay of the college's extracurricular life. Many students abandon athletics when they enter college because they find programs designed for only the select few. At St. John's, they are able to rediscover the joy of amateur athletics in a welcoming setting. Competition between intramural teams is passionate, but good-natured. Students and faculty also pursue interests in fencing (the Fencing Union has regular bouts with local clubs and universities), aikido, yoga, weight training, tai chi, dance, and aerobics. Alumni, siblings, faculty, staff, and even parents may participate. Located at the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Severn River, Annapolis is synonymous with water sports. The College Boathouse, one of the loveliest in the mid-Atlantic region, serves as headquarters for an active crew program. Sweep-oar rowing and sculling are very �42 {ST. }OHN.'S popular activities, and the college's more serious rowers compete in local regattas. The college has a small fleet of sailboats, from lasers to a 24-foot Bristol sloop, along with many rowing dinghies, canoes and kayaks in which students may explore the beauties of the Chesapeake. An annual Sail Picnic, organized by The Friends of St. John's, provides an opportunity for students to sail aboard large yachts. Croquet, too, has a large following, and each spring a team from St. John's takes on the Naval Academy in a much celebrated match for the Annapolis Cup. Athletic facilities on campus include playing fields, tennis courts, a gymnasium with a racquetball court, a well-eqnipped weight room, a dance studio, and a suspended running track. COLLEGE} THE SANTA FE CAMPUS I ..................................................................................................................- n the early Ig6os the college decided to expand its student body. The Board of Visitors and Governors chose to establish a second campus in the West, rather than sacrifice the virtues of a small campus. St. John's College in Santa Fe was opened in the fall of Ig64 in New Mexico's capital, founded in I6IO by Spanish colon.ists. Its population of 65,000 people is occupied principallywith the government of the state and of Santa Fe County; with cultural pursnits in the fine arts, museums, and opera; and with archaeological and historical research. Scientists in nearby Los Alamos do research in nuclear physics and related fields. Neighboring institutions of higher education include the Institute of Ameri- {RESIDENCE & can Indian Arts, the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Community College, and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Sixty miles to the south, Albuquerque provides the attractions and conveniences of a city of 500,000 people. The campus of 250 acres lies in the southeast quadrant of the city, two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architecture of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of 7,300 feet, overlooks the city and offers superb views of the Cerrillos, the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The campus includes a classroom building, a laboratory, a library, a student center, a music and fine arts building, an administration building, three clusters of dormitories, and ten furnished, two-bedroom apartments. A conference services office, dining hall, and student health ()ffice are also located in these buildings. Each of the I6 dormitory units on the campus houses from I2 to I8 stuts, and the eight dorm suites, which ouse five people, serve as a smaller comunityoffriends within the college. More half the rooms are singles. The othare designed in suites of two or three ms to provide each student with the acy of his own quarters and, at the e time, close companionship with a ow student.

There are permanent student representatives to the Financial Aid Committee, Campus Planning Committee, and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees, which concern themselves with such things as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the artistic, the academic, and the athletic. Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet, and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine Arts Building, the darkroom, and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The college's art gallery, which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists monthly. A student art show is scheduled each year, and awards are given for achievement in pottery, photography, drawing, painting, and making jewelry. The Moon, a student newspaper, provides students in Santa Fe with a medium through which to express their views about both the college and the world at large. Au Verso, a literary magazine, �44 {ST. JoHN.'s contains essays, art work, poetry, short stories, and photography from students and faculty alike. Musical performances of many kinds are given by students through the Collegium Musicum. Formed to stimulate musical activity on campus, the association provides members of the college community with an opportunity to perform before small, audiences. Through this organization, students and faculty who play instruments or who sing can find teachers and fellow musicians with whom to or perform. The St. John's Chorus and the small chorus also give recitals. The numerous keyboard instruments, including two grand pianos and a for student practice and performance. Practice moms are available in the Fine Arts Building. The St. John's Film organized by students to provide a wide of classic and current films for the college every Saturday night. students are attracted to the town of Santa Fe its crafts, music, theater, and visual arts. Others have in tutoring in schools, counseling, working on local church restoration, or other local activities. City buses stop near the campus, proto town. Most students come to St. John's with definite interests outside the scope of the program and pursue these interests in extracunicular classes and discussion groups, both on and off campus. Informal discussions of contemporary literature, forums on concexns, and slide shows on art are on-campus activities, as are study groups in such languages as Latin, German, and Hebrew, Thome Fellowships give students support toward fulfillment of medical school during summer months, a leave from the college, or after graduation, COLLEGE} As in Annapolis, waltz parties, rock parties, and such regular events as the Octoberfest (in the mountains surrounding the college), the Halloween Costume Party, the Fasching Ball, the Graduation Ball, and Reality Weekend provide occasions for informal gatherings of tutors and students. Reality Weekend includes a talent show, a picnic, and athletic competition. ATHLETICS Like Annapolis, the Santa Fe campus encourages all students to participate in amateur intramural athletics, regardless of their athletic skills. The new athletic center has a full-sized basketball court, two racquetball/squash courts, a wellequipped weight room, men and women's locker rooms, and a large outdoor equipment room. The student outdoor programs office, the director's office, and a small outdoor xesource library are also located at the new center. The college offers students, faculty, and alumni a variety of sports and outdoor recreational Student interest usually determines which sports and outdoor programs are offered. There are organized tournaments for basketball, volleyball, badminton, table-tennis, racquetball, squash, indoor and outdoor soccer, and There are also opportunities to swim and tennis, softball, and Ultimate Frisbee. The college also supports a Karate-Do program led Jorge Aigla, 6th Dan. ing on student interest, extracurricular classes are offered each year such as Tai Chi, dance, aerobics, and self-defense. Outdoor recreational activities include whitewater canoeing and rafting, downhill and cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, and The Outdoor Programs office organizes extended river trips each fall and spxing in the surrounding Southwest. The neighboring de Cristo Mountains provide hundreds of square miles of forest and wilderness for {RESIDENCE & camping and hiking. Students can join the St, College Search and Rescue Team and learn back-country skills such as map and compass navigation, G.P.A. wilderness medicine, and technical evacuation. The Search and Rescue Team works under the auspices of the New Mexico state police and averages thirty missions a year. The athletic and outdoor program office provides students free use of sports and outdoor equipment; sleeping bags, tents, fly-fishing equipment, mountain bikes, downhill and cross-country skis and snowshoes are just a few of the items available for check-out. The college does not participate in formal athletics and there are no athletic scholarships awarded. The that the college places on the intellectual growth of students and faculty, and the absence of any athletic curriculum should not he mistaken for disdain of athletic endeavors. Despite the rigors of STUDENT LIFE} 45 the curriculum, many of our students and faculty find time to play individual or team sports. BOTH CAMPUSES RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES The Charter of r784 established St. John's College as a non-denominational institution. In its early years, there were some ties with the Protestant Episcopal Church, but these no longer eF_ist. Many tutors and students attend church or synagogue in town. his customary for extracurricular Bible classes to be conducted by tutors of the college. FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS The college bookstore on each campus has all the books and supplies the students need for their classes. It also maintains a stock of books :related to all of the program, and books of more gen er- �{RESIDENCE 46 {ST. JoHN·'s al interest. It is operated without profit. Both campuses maintain computer laboratories for student use, providing free access to word processing and Internet services, including e-mail. PC and Macintosh computers are available in the laboratories and in the library. AB supports for an active social life, the college provides on each campus a coffee shop and a junior common room for the use of all students. In addition, there are smaller, comfortably furnished social rooms in the dormitories and elsewhere on the campus. DORMITORIES The dormitories form small communities within the larger college communities, helping the incoming students to make proper use of the support that other students can give them in their college life. Unmarried students are required to live in the college dormitories and to take their meals in the college dining hall, unless they apply in writing to and obtain permission from either the assistant deans or directors of residential life to live off-campus. The college does not guarantee housing for married students. However, in Santa Fe there are a small number of furnished, two-bedroom apartments, that may be available for married students during the academic year. Such students should check with the appropriate Admissions Office about the availability of housing on campus or in the local community. Room assignment is the responsibility of the assistant deans in conjunction with the directors of residential life. Returning students have the privilege of drawing for rooms before they leave for the summer vacation. In Annapolis, students are not permitted to remain in residence during winter or spring vacation. In Santa Fe, students are not permitted to remain in residence & STUDENT LIFE} 47 COLLEGE} during winter vacation. They may remain during spring vacation, although a small fee is charged. DINING HALL The dining halls in Annapolis and Santa Fe are operated by catering services. Vegetarian and vegan menus are available. Resident students are required to eat in the dining hall. INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES Because both of St. John's campuses are small, cohesive, and supportive communities, there is no separate office designated for international student services. The Office of the Assistant Deans handles all aspects of student life and provides counseling and guidance on an individual basis. In addition, each new student participates in a two-day orientation program at the time of registration. The college's registrars act as advisors to all international students with respect to visa requirements and related matters. Informal "F-1" clubs have been formed by international students together with other students, faculty, and staff for special social events, but, in general, international students find themselves easily participating in the mainstream of campus academic and social life. CAREER SERVICES The Placement Office on each campus offers a wide range of programs and services that include: • individual career counseling • information and assistance in applying to graduate and professional schools • information and assistance in applying for scholarships and fellowships internship opportunities • assistance with resume-writing and other job-search skills • access to a national alumni career network • pre-law and pre-medical advising • on-campus career workshops and meetings with alumni · • information and referrals on current career and job opportunities • community service opportunities • job postings on the St. John's website St. John's remains committed to providing high-quality assistance to students and alumni as they make the transition to activities and pursuits beyond St. John's. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT SERVICES An employment service, under the supervision of the Placement Office, offers off-campus jobs. Primarily, it provides part-time employment for students during the academic year, but it also can aid students looking for full-time or part:time summer employment in the local community. .A Student Health Center on each campus provides a variety of health services for enrolled students. Counseling services are ·\also available on campus. These services .a:re free of charge or provided at low cost. RULES OF RESIDENCE ~ocial order and the well-being of each dent make necessary certain rules of ·dence governing the use of dormito. These rules have been decided upon the deans in consultation with students d faculty. Every entering student is armed of them, and returning uppersmen are reminded of them each fall. e rules differ in certain details on the campuses, though in general they folthe same pattern. he academic and intellectual life of community is inseparable from the unal life. The building of a good unity requires the faculty to show ct for the individuality of each stuAll students agree to abide by the rules and regulations promulgated in the Student Handbook published annually by the college. St. John's assumes that students will respect not only the enacted rules, but also the community-accepted canons of decent behavior. In extreme cases, where these canons are flouted, the college may require withdrawal of the offending student. The use of illegal drugs and the misuse of legal drugs, including alcohol, are fundamentally incompatible with the program of study at St. John's College. Students who engage in such activities face severe disciplinary action. PROPERTY DAMAGE The college provides a housekeeping staff to care for the dormitories. The college inspects the rooms periodically and repairs, at the expense of the occupant or occupants, any dormitory room and furni·ture that have been damaged beyond normal wear and tear. Any damage to college property is charged to the caution fee of the student or students responsible for the damage. The college is not responsible for the loss .of, or damage to, any student property resulting from fire, theft or any other cause. �48 {SITE {SITE PLAN} ANNAPOLIS, SANTA MARYLAND FE, PLAN} NEW 49 MEXICO COLLEGE CREEK LOWER PLAYING FIELD SOCCER FIELD BOATHOUSE .............

Those who apply want an education that consists of careful reading and consideration of the most demanding books; will of serious conversation in which learn to consider the thoughts of others as well as their own; and of active parin their own education. Education at St. John's is a common Each student has a considerable effect on the life and learning of the com1'/[o st who consider St. John's examine themselves before so that when do, they are saying to themselves and to the that in the life of that their interests and those of the college do not coincide. Thus, for the most part, select themselves. Some are of course, but a wide variety of students is accepted each year. The pmpose of the admission process is to determine whether an applicant has the necessary preparation and to complete the St. John's program satisfacThe Admissions Committee - five tutors and the Director of Admissions on campus - regards the application as a from the applicant: "Do you think I am ready to profit from the tlJ:C)!ffam of studies at St. John's?" In the essays, applicants are asked to their previous education, their .n:a><"''' for choosing St. John's, and their with books. A number of topics are suggested. The essays """'!0:11eu to enable applicants to give a 51 full account of themselves. They can tell the committee much more than statistical records reveal. Next the committee considers the academic achievement and promise. Previous academic records - the secondary school report and college transcript, if there is one - show whether an applicant has the habits of study necessary at St. John's. Letters ofreference, particuthose of teachers, are carefully read for indications that the has the maturity, self-discipline, abilir;, energ-y, and initiative to succeed in the St. John's program. St. John's attaches little tance to test sco:res, and no applicant is or ,·ejected because of such scores. The committee's decisions are not influenced the race, religion, sex, age, color, physical handicaps or national or ethnic of an or any other factors unrelated to the v1ork of the college. The application asks a minimum of personal data . Need for financial assistance does not affect the committee's decisions on admission. SL John's has decided to remain a small college in which the students and faculty are known to each other. Each campus serves about fr50 undergraduates. The size of each class is limited on each campus. Most freshman classes are about equally divided betvveen men and women. Classes enter in late August and Occasionally, there may be a January class on only one campus. New students are enrolled only as freshmen; typically rn3 to 15% of each entering class have done one, two, or even three years of college work elsewhere. These students, despite having good records at other colleges, relinquish their advanced standing to take part in the St. John's program. Freshmen who enter in January stay on campus the following summer to complete the first year. They can thus �52 {ST. {ADMISSION} graduate a year earlier than if they had postponed their entrance until the following fall. The January class is of particular interest to students who come to St. John's from other colleges, who have traveled or worked since graduation from high school, or who wish to enter St. John's immediately after the first semester of their senior year of high school. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION M ost applicants have a strong background in academic subjects. Specific academic requirements include two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a foreign language; additional work in mathematics and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. In addition to the application essays and secondary school report, each applicant must present transcripts of any college work and two letters of reference, including one from a teacher. In exceptional cases, certain of these requirements may be waived, or additional information may be requested. SAT or ACT test scores are not normally required, but may prove helpful. Occasionally, St. John's accepts an applicant who is not a secondary school graduate. Such students must be well qualified to profit from the college program and must either submit the results of a nationally recognized test (SAT, ACT, or PSAT) or a GED certificate. A campus visit and interview are especially important in such cases. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS St. John's is authorized under federal law to enroll foreign students. In order to be considered for admission, international students must have followed a pre-university course of study and must submit the following documents: I. A completed St. John's application form accompanied by the required essays. 2. Two letters of reference, at least one of which must be from a teacher of an academic subject. 3. An official record of secondary work, with all courses and grades, including the results of the appropriate examinations (e.g. "A" Levels, International Baccalaureate, and so on). This must be accompanied by an explanation of the grading system used and an English translation of records in other languages. 4. Test results from: a. The Student Assessment Test (SATr) or the American College Test (ACT). b. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), ifthe applicant's first language is not English. TEST CODE NUMBERS St. John's College's test code numbers for the College Entrance Examination Board (SAT and TOEFL) are: Annapolis= 5598; Santa Fe = 4737. The American College Test (ACT) numbers are: Annapolis = r732; Santa Fe = 2649 PROCEDURE S t. John's College is one college located on two campuses. Although applications must be initiated and completed at one campus or the other, admission to either campus constitutes admission to the college as a whole. On inquiry, prospective students receive a statement of the St. John's College program, an application for admission and recommendation forms to be completed by schools and references. Applications may be submitted as early as the second semester of the eleventh grade. i JOHN'S Because the college welcomes all serious applicants, there is no application fee. Students should submit their application materials to the Admissions Office on the campus they prefer to attend. Students planning to apply for financial aid should refer to the section on Fees and Financial Aid and notify the appropriate Admissions Office of their intentions as soon as possible. St. John's is committed to maintaining its low student/faculty ratio (8 tor). In order to meet this commitment, the number of students in each freshman class is carefully controlled. Candidates for .. admission are advised that applicants who meet the suggested deadlines (see below) are in a better position to secure places in the entering classes and early consideration for financial assistance than those who apply later. Applications for fall classes should be filed as early as possible and preferably no later than March r; candidates wishing to . enroll in January should apply no later than December r5. Applications are processed on a rolling basis. As soon as the application essays and supporting i .•documents are received, the application is ~viewed by the Admissions Committee. i;rhe applicant is notified of the commit~e's decision in about two weeks. Acceptstudents have the option to enroll on er campus. ;f,,itte applications for both fall and J anuclasses will be considered, but appliare advised that the earlier their are completed, the greater their ces of securing positions in the enterclass on the campus of their choice. notification of acceptance, appli;have the option to enroll on either s. In order to secure a place in the COLLEGE} 53 entering class, approved applicants must submit a deposit of $300 to the Admissions Office on the campus at which their applications were processed, together with a statement specifying the campus they wish to attend. Once the deposit has been submitted, the campus preference may not be changed except as noted below. Deposits are nonrefundable, except as noted below, and are applied to first semester tuition and fees. Deposits are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the available positions are filled. Typically, the fall classes fill by the middle of May, so while there is ample time to consider offers of admission from other institutions, the earlier a decision can be reached, the better. January classes usually fill by the end of December. Students who submit deposits before the end of the first week of May (for the fall term) or December 3r (for the January term) have a significantly higher chance of securing positions in the entering classes than those who submit deposits later. If the entering class on the applicant's first-choice campus is full when the deposit is received, the Admissions Office will offer the following options: r) the deposit may be transferred to the other �54 {ST. {ADMISSION} campus, provided space remains in that entering class; 2) the deposit may be used to secure a place on the waiting list or in a subsequent class on the applicant's first-choice campus; 3) the deposit may be returned if neither of the first two options is acceptable. FINANCIAL Arn The college endeavors to meet the full demonstrated need of enrolling students requesting financial assistance. Of necessity, however, the amount of financial aid available for each class is limited. It is essential, therefore, that candidates apply for both admission and financial aid early. Applications for financial aid will be processed for approved applicants on a first-come, first-served basis until the available aid is exhausted. Therefore, U.S. citizens and permanent residents requesting financial assistance should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form as early as possible and promptly supply the Financial Aid Office with any additional documentation that may be requested. Non-U.S. citizens requesting financial assistance should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as soon as possible. Students who complete their financial aid applications before February IS (for fall classes) or September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly higher chance of receiving all the aid for which they qualify than those who complete them later. WAITING LIST Once the entering classes are full or the available aid is exhausted, a waiting list will be established in the order in which deposits or completed financial aid files from approved applicants are received. Positions in the entering classes and financial aid will then be offered as they become available. Every effort will be made to accommodate those on the waiting list by allowing them to change their campus preference or to emoll in a subsequent class, as noted above. · lNTERCAMPUS TRANSFER Once enrolled on either campus, students may transfer to the other at the beginning of any academic year, provided their records are in good standing and they notify the Registrar's Office of their intentions by the third Monday in February of the previous year. Those students who wish to apply for financial aid must also file their new financial aid forms by March I. All such transfers are subject to approval by the deans of both campuses and will be restricted if a very large surplus in one direction or the other could pose problems for staffing, class sizes, or housing. STUDENT RIGHT TO KNOW AcT In compliance with this act, the Office of the Registrar will provide and make readily available, upon request, completion or graduation rates to current and prospective students. INQUIRIES Inquiries should be addressed to Director of Admissions, St. John's College, P.O.

JOHN'S CAMPUS VISIT I t is best for those who are considering attending St. John's to see the college for themselves. It is probably wise to get first-hand advance knowledge of any college one may be thinking of attending, but it is especially wise in the case of St. John's because of its unique curriculum and teaching methods. While on campus the visitor may attend a seminar on Monday or Thursday evening at 8 P.M.; attend tutorials in mathematics, language, and music; visit a laboratory; be interviewed by the Director of Admissions, it member of the admissions staff, or a tutor; attend the weekly formal lecture (Friday night); talk informally with St. John's students and tutors; visit the library and bookstore; explore the historic town of Annapolis or Santa Fe; attend a movie, play, art exhibit, or concert; or watch students participating in the sports progiam. Since the seminar, the most important part of the progiarn, meets on Monday and Thursday evenings, student visitors are normally on campus from Monday to Tues®'y or from Thursday to Friday. If travel ~:rangements make these time periods impossible, the visitor may telephone the !dmissions Office for special help. The ·~endar in the front of the catalog should checked to make certain the college will in session during the time of the visit. Those planning to visit should teleone (I-800-727-9238 for Annapolis or o-33I-5232 for Santa Fe) or write the ·ssions Office giving the dates (and :r;nates) they have selected. It is also ssary for the Admissions Office to the approximate time of arrival. the reservation is confirmed by one or letter, the visitor will be told inar reading. If it is necessary to l the visit, the Admissions Office d be notified as soon as possible. e only expense for visitors is trans- COLLEGE} 55 portation. They will be provided a room in a dormitory and meals in the dining hall without charge. St. John's students dress informally for tutorials, but more formally for seminar and formal lecture. The seminar readings usually can be located in inexpensive paperback editions in the college bookstore if a visitor has been unable to locate a copy of the book being discussed in seminar. Linens are provided by the college. Visitors arriving weekdays between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. should go to the Admissions Office. On weekends and any day after 5 P.M., visitors should go to the college receptionist. The receptionist is at the switchboard in Campbell Hall at Annapolis and in Peterson Student Center at Santa Fe. TRANSPORTATION Baltimore-Washington International Airport is located twenty miles from Annapolis. An airport limousine goes to and from Annapolis; visitors are advised to check schedules in advance. Busservice from the airport is not practical. Hourly buses run between Baltimore and Annapolis, and the driver will let visitors off near the campus if asked. Buses from Washington are less frequent and let passengers off on West Street, about six blocks from the college. By car, take Route 50 from Washington; from Baltimore take Route 2 or I-97. Albuquerque International Airport is located sixty miles from the Santa Fe campus. A shuttle service from the airport to Santa Fe is available. Call the Admissions Office for information. Greyhound and Continental bus lines pass through Santa Fe. Amtrak stops at Lamy, N.M., twenty miles from Santa Fe, and taxi service is available to town (reservations should be made with the taxi service one day in advance). Upon arrival at the bus station or at one of the Santa Fe hotels, the easiest way to get to the campus is by taxi. �56 {FEES & FINANCIAL PROCEDURES AND DEADLINES T he college believes that qualified applicants should not be denied the opportunity to attend St. John's College because of limited finances. St. John's therefore maintains a financial aid program to assist eligible students to the greatest extent possible within the limits of the college's resources. With very few exceptions, financial aid awards are made solely on the basis of need. A. The following principles underlie St. John's financial aid program: The primary responsibility for financing a college education lies with the student and the student's parents. The college can offer aid only to supplement funds the family provides. I. 2. The ability of a family to meet college expenses is determined by assessing the family's financial strength in terms of income, assets, debts, and number of family members in college. 3. Financial aid may be in the form of a grant, loan, or part-time employment, and will be offered to all students as a package that combines one or more forms of aid. 4. In keeping with the philosophy that students should contribute to their educational expenses, self-help is, in most cases, the first component of a financial aid award. At St. John's, self-help consists of a part-time job and an educational loan. 5. Financial aid is not automatically renewable; rather, students reapply each year they wish to be considered for aid. 6. Students receiving financial aid must meet the criteria for maintaining satisfactory progress in order to retain their award (see page 57). {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} AID} 7. Financial aid awards are made in accordance with the provisions of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of r964 and Title IX of the Higher Education Act of rg8o, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, physical handicap, age, marital status, creed or ethnic or national origin. B. The procedure for U.S. citizens and permanent residents applying for financial aid is as follows: Applicants must file the current Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In addition, St. John's requires students seeking institutional grant aid to file the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form. These forms may be obtained from either secondary schools or the Financial Aid Office at St. John's. To have an analysis of your forms sent to St. John's, be sure to use the correct code numbers. PROFILE: Annapolis=5598; Santa Fe=4737. FAFSA: Annapolis=oo2092; Santa Fe=oo2093. employment or other financial benefits for which they become eligible; any change in their or their family's financial situation; and changes of name, marital status, and address. after February IS (for fall classes) or after September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly lower chance of receiving all the funds for which they are eligible than those applying earlier. C. Non-U.S. citizens applying for financial aid should note the following: Applications are due by March I from enrolled students who are returning to the college and reapplying for financial aid or are applying for financial aid for the first time. Both the FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Students whose financial aid credentials are received by the Financial Aid Office prior to the March I deadline will be notified of the decision on their application by April I. Students whose applications for financial aid are received after the deadline will not be denied consideration for assistance, but the availability of funds cannot be guaranteed. I. Financial aid for foreign students is limited and competition for it is strong. For non-U.S. citizens, the maximum institutional assistance available is 65% of current tuition, room, and board. In addition to need-based loans and grants, foreign students are eligible for jobs on campus. They are also eligible to apply for summer employment at St. John's, but the availability of jobs cannot be guaranteed. !!.. Non-U.S. citizens should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as early as possible, preferably no later than February r5. This form may be obtained from secondary school counseling offices or from the St. John's Admissions Office. No requests for financial assistance will be considered and no offers of financial aid will be made until after a student has been admitted to the college. I. 2. As part of the application for financial aid, parents and students must provide copies of their most recent Federal Income Tax Return and W-2 forms. 3. Self-supporting students are required to meet the federal definition of independence and must comply with federal verification requirements. Independent students must submit parental information in order to be considered for institutional assistance. 4. Recipients of federally funded financial assistance must not be in default on any federal loans received at any institution and must not owe any refunds to the federal programs. 5. Students applying for and receiving financial aid from St. John's are required to notify the Financial Aid Office of any scholarships, loans, grants, gifts, 57 ' Following are the deadlines and notifi. cation dates for financial aid: F:tmsHMAN CANDIDATES: Although the · college has no deadline for receipt of 'financial aid applications, candidates admission who are in need of finan'al assistance should indicate that ed as soon as possible. The FAFSA the College Scholarship Service's OFILE form should be filed at the .Iiest date possible in accordance · their published guidelines. Appliahould note also that the earlier aid application is received, the he chance that their financial be fully met. Candidates for on applying for financial aid RETURNING STUDENTS: E. Funds for financial aid awards from the college are available from the sources listed below. Funds for St. John's grants are provided by the college from its own resources. St. John's grants do not need to be repaid. ST. JOHN'S GRANTS: FEDERAL PELL GRANT: This federal program is designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend a post-secondary institution. Pell Grants are intended to be the first form of assistance in a financial aid package and may be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet a student's demonstrated financial need. Eligibility for the Pell Grant and the amount awarded are determined on the basis of the financial resources of the applicant and the applicant's family. No repayment of this grant is required. �{ST. JOHN'S 58 The Federal Stafford Loan program enables a student to borrow directly from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association, or other participating lender who is Willing to make the educational loan. The maximum amount an undergraduate may borrow is $2,foi.5 for the freshman year, $g,500 for the sophomore year, $5,500 for the junior year, and $5,500 for the senior year. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is a full-time student. Repayment begins six months after termination of college attendance. For new borrowers, the interest rate is variable, with a maximum rate of 8.25%. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to students who do not meet the financial need criteria for the subsidized Stafford program. Unsubsidized borrowers are charged interest during in-school, grace, and deferment periods. FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN: FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL The college awards SEOG's to incoming freshmen and enrolled students each year. The grants are awarded to students who demonstrate substantial need with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Eligibility for the SEOG is limited to $4,ooo per year. OPPORTUNITY GRANT: This federal program permits the college to give part-time employment to students who need such earnings to pursue their course of study. Students may work only a limited number of hours per week while enrolled and while classes are in session. FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAMS: FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN: These loans are made by the college directly to students using funds provided, for the most part, by the federal government. Perkins Loans are made available to students with high financial need. The maximum loan is $4,ooo for each year of undergraduate study. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the college. The interest rate during repayment is 5%. There is a provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. Unsubsidized federal loans are available without regard to financial need to the parents of dependent students. The maximum annual PLUS loan is the student's total estimated cost of education less financial assistance. PLUS Loans have a 3% origination fee, a guarantee fee of up to r%, and a variable interest rate with a cap of 9%. Interest accrues from the date of disbursement for all PLUS loans.

BILLING AND DEPOSITS B ,.,, ............................................................................................................... illing fo~ tuition and fees is done prior to each semester. Unless otherwise requested, the college presents its bills directly to the student, with a copy to the parents. The charges are due and payable in full by August r for the first semester and December r for the second semester. Those who may wish to pay in monthly installments should ask the treasurer about the tuition payment plan available to St. John's College students and parents. Since determinations affecting students, faculty, and physical facilities must be made well in advance of the beginning of each academic year, the college must COLLEGE} 59 know in April which returning students will register in September. A deposit of $goo on the fees for the following year is therefore due on or before the second Monday in April for prospective sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the deposit is not paid, the student may have to be placed on a waiting list; students to whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, academic dismissal or (in the case of prospective juniors) failure to enable. If the student should decide not to enroll in the year for which the deposit was made, the deposit is forfeited, and the �60 {FEES FINANCIAL & {FEES AID} ment schedule of tuition and fees corresponding to the schedule on which they receive their benefit payments. These arrangements must be made prior to the beginning of the academic year, after having received proper certification from the Veterans Administration or the Social Security Administration. Students with outstanding debts to the college may not register for classes at the beginning of the second semester and subsequent semesters unless they have made appropriate arrangements with the treasurer. The college may charge interest on all unpaid balances, at rates and on schedules to be determined and published each year. REFUND POLICY student must make a new deposit to secure a place in a subsequent class. Each student is required to make a deposit of $200, called the Caution Deposit, which is used as a last resort to recover unpaid student bills. This fee is paid once at the beginning of the freshman year. If unused, it is refunded when the student leaves the college. Each graduating senior must pay a Commencement Fee of $60 at the beginning of the second semester of the senior year. Veterans and Social Security recipients qualified to receive educational benefits may arrange with the treasurer for a pay- DETERMINATION OF DATE OF WITHDRAWAL A student considering withdrawal prior to the end of the semester may initiate the withdrawal process by notifying the appropriate office of the intention to withdraw. Undergraduate students provide this notification to the Registrar's Office and graduate students contact the Graduate Institute Office. When a student notifies the Registrar or Director of the Graduate Institute of an intention to withdraw, the student will be given a form entitled "Official Notice of Withdrawal." At this OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL: INSTITUTIONAL REFUND SCHEDULE DAYS ENROLLED Fall/Spring Summer REFUND AMOUNT l-S 903 I03 8-14 6-IO 803 203 15-21 n-15 603 403 22-28 16-20 403 603 29-42 21-25 26 and after FINANCIAL point the student has officially indicated the intent to withdraw and the day the Official Notice or'Withdrawal Form is obtained will be the date of withdrawal used for the calculation of return of Title IV Funds and institutional refund. After a student notifies the Registrar or the Director of the Graduate Institute of an intention to withdraw, the student is urged to discuss the decision with college personnel. A student may rescind the intention to withdraw by not returning the Official Notice of Withdrawal to the Registrar's Office or to the Graduate Institute Office. If a student wishes to reverse a decision to withdraw after the Official Notice of Withdrawal has been $ubmitted, the student must provide a written notification. If a student who rescinded an intention to withdraw does not complete the semester, the official date of withdrawal will be the later of the date the withdrawal form was obtained or the last date of class attendance. 203 803 No Refund I003 Ain} 61 institutional refund is to count the number of calendar days from the first day of classes to the date of withdrawal (weekends are included but scheduled breaks of at least five days are excluded). The schedule on page 60 is used to determine the percentage of fees (tuition, activity fee, room, and board) which will be refunded. The same schedule will be used to calculate the cancellation of non-federal financial aid: the "refund amount" percentage provides the percentage of aid to be cancelled and the "amount charged" percentage corresponds to the revised aid the student will receive. For example, a student withdrawing within the first seven days of school would receive rn% of nonfederal aid that had been awarded. If a student does not notify the Registrar or Director of the Graduate Institute of the intention to withdraw, the date of withdrawal used for the calculation of return of Title IV Funds and institutional refund will be the ''.fnidpoint of the semester. A date earlier or 'later than the midpoint may be used if the college has documentation of the last day student attended class or handed in an signment. If a student withdraws use of circumstances beyond the stut's control, the college will determine date of withdrawal. B. A student who is expelled or asked to withdraw for academic or disciplinary reasons will receive no refund of tuition, room, and board. If a student withdraws prior to the end the semester, a refund of tuition will be de according to the Institutional und Schedule. The student's withal date is established as outlined in initial section of the Refund Policy. next step in determination of the C. If the college determines that the circumstances leading to withdrawal are beyond the student's control, the student will be charged for tuition, activity fee, room, and board based on the percentage of the semester attended (number of days enrolled divided by total number of days in the semester). The same percentage will be applied to institutional aid.

RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS If a student who has received Title IV Funds (federal financial aid) leaves the institution prior to completion of 60% of the semester, a calculation must be performed to determine the amount of unearned aid that must go back to the Title IV programs. No return of Title IV funds is required after 6o%(approximately g weeks of a I6 week semester). The withdrawal date will be established as described in the above Refund Policy. The percentage of Title IV aid which is earned by the student (i.e., the amount of federal aid the student is permitted to keep) is the same as the percentage of the semester completed. This percentage is computed by dividing the total number of calendar days in the semester (including week-ends but excluding scheduled breaks of more than five days) into the number of calendar days completed by the AID} student. For example, a student enrolled for I4 of n2 days would have earned I2.5% of Title IV aid for the semester. In this example, 87.5% of the Title IV aid would be unearned. The institution is responsible for returning to the federal aid programs the lesser of the amount of unearned Title IV aid or institutional charges that the student incurred multiplied by the unearned aid percentage. Federai regulations specify the order in which unearned funds are to be returned to aid programs. The order is: I. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans 2. Subsidized Stafford Loans 3. Perkins Loans 4. Federal Plus Loans 5. Pell Grants 6.SEOG Federal Work-Study funds are not involved in this determination: A student may keep money earned through the Federal Work- Study Program. If the total amount of unearned aid exceeds the amount the school is required to return, a student may need to return federal grant funds which have been received for off-campus living expenses, up to 50% of the amount received for the semester. Student loans and Plus Loans received for off-campus expenses do not have to be returned at the time of withdrawal but must be repaid in accordance with the terms of the loan. The Financial Aid Office will notify a student if a return of federal grant funds is required. Sample cases of refund calculations are available in the Financial Aid Office. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 63 RITERIA FOR JUDGING SATISFACTORY PROGRESS Provisions of the Higher Education Act of ;r980 require that each post-secondary b:istitution make available information concerning the criteria for judging satis~11.ctory academic progress. The criteria for St. John's College regarding the deterination of satisfactory progress for cipients of federally funded (Title IV) ancial assistance are as follows: In order to be making satisfactory gress, at the end of a semester a stut must be permitted to enter the next ester and that next semester must not lude the repetition of any work. This mission is normally granted by the in consultation with a committee of the student's tutors, the "Don Rag mittee." The Don Rag Committee sses a student's work in all parts of the am and approves its quality before mending to the dean that the stube permitted to enter the next semeshis assessment is conducted in the ent's presence by all of his or her tutors in common. At the end of the sophomore year, the dean and the Instruction Committee, with the advice of the tutors, review all of the student's work during the first two years and determine whether or not the student will be allowed to continue. Under some circumstances a student who has not satisfactorily completed a semester's work may be allowed to repeat the work in order to remain at the college. Students are not eligible for financial assistance (federal or institutional) while they are repeating work. Sometimes students are permitted to enter a new semester with the requirement that they meet special conditions during the course of the semester. In these cases, a student is not repeating work and is deemed to be making satisfactory progress until the dean determines that the conditions have not been met. When the conditions have not been met, the dean, in consultation with the Instruction Committee, decides what further determination is to be made of the case. �{FEES 64 & FINANCIAL Federal regulations require that an institution set a maximum time frame in which students must complete their educational objectives. St. John's has set eight years as the maximum time frame in which students who are recipients of federal financial aid funds must earn their B.A. degrees. This may be eight years of full- or part-time study. Years in which a student is not enrolled at St. John's will not count in the eight-year limitation. However, years in which a student is repeating work (and thereby not receiving aid) are considered in the determination of years of study. If a student registers for a class in which he or she was previously enrolled for more than three weeks, the class will be considered as repeated work and the student will not be eligible for financial assistance. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the dean in the case of an involuntary withdrawal due to illness or other mitigating circumstances. Students who are permitted by their Don Rag Committees to enter the next semester with incomplete grades on their records are deemed to be making satisfactory progress and are eligible for financial aid. A student who wishes to appeal a decision regarding academic standing should present a letter of appeal to the Dean of the College. The dean will review the situation, taking into account any special circumstances, and determine whether or not the student is making satisfactory progress. VETERANS/DEPENDENTS In compliance with federal and state regulations, St. John's has developed a set of policies on minimum standards of progress for enrolled veterans. I. St. John's will report to the Veterans Administration within 30 days all incidents of official termination or change of status that would affect benefits. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} AID} 2. Minimum acceptable grades of a C average are expected. If a student falls below this average and/ or the student's tutors think there is a serious academic problem, the Don Rag Committee will recommend a consultation with the dean, who may ask the student to leave the college or may place the student on academic probation. During that probation period, support and counseling are available. Failure to meet standards through two semesters of probation must be reported to the VA. A third semester of certification may not be granted for VA. benefits without approval of a VA. counseling psychologist. 3. The V.A. requires that grades be given for all courses undertaken and that all grades be considered in arriving at a grade point average. Should a V.A. enrolled student withdraw from any course at any point subsequent to the midterm point of any semester, a grade ofFwill be assigned. 4. St. John's will report to the V.A. when a student has not successfully completed 75% of the credits attempted. 5. St. John's will inform students on VA. benefits of this policy on minimum standards of progress. 6. St. John's will inform all veterans and dependents that prior academic credit credentials from post-secondary schools will be evaluated, but prior credits are not applicable to the all-required degree program at the college. However, liberal arts credits previously earned will be deducted from the training time eligibility offered by the Veterans Administration to the transferring student. 65 BIBLIOGRAPHY .................................................................................................................. _ BooKs ABOUT LIBERAL EDUCATION and CHARLES VAN DoREN: How to Read a Book, Simon and Schuster, 1972.

JOHN'S COLLEGE} 6 {INTRODUCTION} t. John's College is a community dedicated to liberal education. Liberally educated human beings, the college believes, acquire a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of fundamental knowledge and to the search for unifying ideas. They are intelligently and critically appreciative of their common heritage and conscious of their social and moral obligations. They are well equipped to master the specific skills of any calling, and they possess the means and the will to become free and responsible citizens. St. John's College is persuaded that a genuine liberal education requires the study of great books - texts of words, symbols, notes, and pictures - because they express most originally and often most perfectly the ideas by which contemporary life is knowingly or unknowingly governed. These books are the most important teachers. They are both timeless and timely; they illuminate the persisting questions of human existence, and they bear directly on the problems we face today. Their authors can speak to us almost as freshly as when they spoke for the first time, for what they have to tell us is not of merely academic concern or remote from our true interests. They change our minds, move our hearts, and touch our spirits. The books speak to us in more than one way. In raising the persisting human questions, they lend themselves to different interpretations that reveal a variety of independent and yet complementary meanings. And while seeking the truth, they please us as works of art with a clarity and a beauty that reflect their intrinsic intelligibility. They are, therefore, properly called great, whether they are epic poems or political treatises, and whether their subject matter is scientific, historical, or philosophical. They are also linked together, for each of them is introduced, supported, or criticized by the others. In that sense they converse with each other. They draw the readers to take part, within the limits of their abilities, in a large and continuing conversation. This conversation, however, is unavoidably one-sided. The great books can only repeat what they have to say, without furnishing the clarifications that we desire. To remedy this defect is the goal of the St. John's seminar. Here a number of students of varied backgrounds, faced with a text that may present unfamiliar thoughts, attempt to discuss it reasonably. It is presupposed that the students are willing .to submit their opinions to one another's questions. The demands of the individual and those of the group are in continuous interplay, setting limits within which the discussion moves with the utmost possible freedom. The discussion may concern itself primarily with trying to establish the meaning of a poem or the validity of an argument. On the other hand, it may concern itself with more general or with very contemporary questions that thrust themselves forward. The students bring to the seminar the assumptions 7 they have derived from their experience in the contemporary world. Through discussion they acquire a new perspective, which enables them to recognize both the sameness of a recurrent problem and the variety of its historical manifestations. Principally, however, the aim is to ascertain not how things were, but how things are - to help the students make reasonable decisions in whatever circumstances they face. And it is the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of thought and discussion thus begun by the students should continue with them throughout their lives. Most of the teaching at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. AB much as possible, the ~c:~al.instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the activity and nntJ.atJ.ve of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on listening to the students and working with them than imposing upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that they become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, rhetoric, logic - the arts of language; and arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy - the arts of mathematics. In more contemporary terms, the liberal arts bring to light what is involved in the use of words and numbers in all kinds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and writing, and also in measuring, deducing, and demonstrating. There are many ways to develop these arts. The curriculum emphasizes six of them: discussion, translation, writing, experiment, mathematical demonstration, and musical analysis. Whatever methods are used, they all serve the same end: to invite the students to think freely for themselves. By these means, students will be able to envisage actual situations, to deliberate by articulating clear alternatives with the hope of arriving at a proper choice. The acquisition of these intellectual skills will serve the students who have learned them throughout their lives. Knowledge advances and the fundamental outlook of humanity may change over the centuries, but these arts of understanding remain in one form or another indispensable. They enable men and women to win knowledge of the world around them and knowledge of themselves in this world and to use that knowledge with wisdom. Under their guidance, men and women can free themselves from the wantonness of prejudice and the narrowness of beaten paths. Under their discipline, men and women can acquire the habit of listening to reason. A genuinely conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid aiming at these most far-reaching of all human goals. I' �{ST. 8 {THE THE SEMINAR T JOHN'S COLLEGE} 9 CURRICULUM} ..................................................................................................................- he heart of the curriculum is the seminar - a discussion of assigned readings from the boo~s of the program. In each semmar seventeen to twentyone students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The group meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, from eight until ten or sometimes well beyond if the topic under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to around eighty pages of reading, but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. The seminar begins with a question asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists mostly of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not just to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for permission to be heard, but enter the discussion or withdraw from it at will. The resulting informality is temp ere d by the use of formal modes of address. Once underway, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most particular to the most general. The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and aggression and to bring to the surface the students' opinions and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity's ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over topics suggested by the reading, but bearing only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the participants. In the coffee shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported by argument - an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the question or their relation to the opinions of others. Gradually, in their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and trying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn, gradually also, that to some extent the procedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy, and it can require a different approach. Such progress in learning together may be crowned by sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or by occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of "following the argument," of facing the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question remains open with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative devices by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into rather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the "right" opinion or interpretation. It is to guide the discussion, to keep it moving, to raise objections and to help the students in every way possible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question "Why?" But the leaders may also take a definite and positive stand and enter directly into the 111.'gument. If they do so, however, they can ~ct no special consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. Consequentlf• all opinions must be defended with reaAn, and any single opinion can prevail .l!llllY by general consent. The aim is always to develop the students' powers of reason and understanding, and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, sophomore, and junior submits an essay on some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes the major part of the process called enabling (see page 3r). �10 {THE THE PRECEPTORIAL F {ST. CURRICULUM} or about seven to eight weeks in the middle of the year the seminars of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually given a choice of sixteen to twenty preceptorials on books or subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer them. Students may suggest a topic and invite a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the program, some preceptorials may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more than ten students in a preceptorial. Guided by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by the seminar. Usually, the students' work is completed by the writing of papers, which may be read in draft to the preceptorial and criticized by the other members. Listed below are some of the preceptorial subjects offered on the two campuses in recent years. He~.~~~~.~.r..:..~.e.~7:.~.Cl..7:.~.!..i.'!!.~ ......................................

JOHN'S THE TUTORIALS T he semiiiar cannot suffice as the only setting for liberal education. By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and writing. Other learning devices must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, around a table, about thirteen to sixteen students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to work together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstration, of an important work. As in the seminar, students talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and insight to their fellows. Other tutors often attend, seeking to learn about a particular subject that they may later teach. Writing assignments are normally made in all classes: mathematics, music, and laboratory sections, as well as in language tutorials. The students are thus called upon continually to articulate and organize their thinking in both the written and spoken forms. THE LANGUAGE TUTORIAL Specialization in higher education has led to a profound neglect oflanguage skills. As '~unt:ry is separated from country by the 'er oflanguage, so profession is sepad from profession by technical jargon. arily, the language tutorial attempts :remedy this condition by training in the COLLEGE} 11 means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied connotations and ambiguities of terms; to the role of metaphors, analogies and images; and to the logical relations that connect propositions. The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years, and French in the third and fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the students learn something of the nature of languages in general and of their own in particular. During the four years, then, they study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, they study their own language. They discover the resources of articulate speech and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent and effective - if it is to be adequate and persuasive. In the beginning, the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language being studied. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one that is concerned with particular details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work. Those are matters �12 {THE CURRICULUM} that do not come directly into seminar discussions. The students' concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed with greater precision than the seminar usually permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign language, but the students can reasonably expect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they study. To experience the individuality of another language is to extend the boundaries of one's sensibility. The choice of foreign languages is in part dictated by the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary. Latin and German might be used without changing the pattern and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes well with the freshman seminar and mathematics tutorial, and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of the first. The second year ends with analysis and discussion of works by Shakespeare, Donne, and other English poets. The French of the third year begins with a brief, intensive study of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading of simple French. Students already fluent in French may be exempted from these early stages. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form and content are related to appropriate writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of their models. In the second semester a play is read.- Racine's Phaedre. The principal activity of the fourth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal. Its immediate object is the understanding and enjoyment of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of language. Writing assignments include exercises in translation more ambitious than those attempted in the third year. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} THE MATHEMATICS TUTORIAL Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested by the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning "to learn." It is regrettable, then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathematical. It is equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical assumptions upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at St. John's is studied as a liberal art, not artificially separated from what have come to be called the humanities. When mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not only for their matter but also for their elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John's, mathematics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal art but also one that provides ready access to others and significant analogies with them. There are two main reasons for studying mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines it. Therefore anyone who means to criticize or reform, to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarity with the mathematical methods by which it is managed, but also must have thought about the assumptions that underlie their application. It is the task of the mathematics tutorial and the laboratory together to help students to think about what it means to count and measure things in the universe. The second main reason for studying mathematics concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically. Since mathe_matics has, as its name implies, a particularly close connection with the human capacity for learning, its study is especially useful in helping students to think about what it means to come to know something. 13 To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of imagination, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its proper beginnings and ends? What is the relation of logic to mathematics? What do "better" and "worse," "ugly" and "beautiful" signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constitute a language? Are there "mathematical objects"? How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such questions, which grow out of the daily work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid's organization of the mathematical discoveries of his predecessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects - its central expression found in the theory of ratios - which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy's Almagest, centering their attention on the problem of "hypotheses" constructed to "save the appearances" in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between �14 {THE {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} CURRICULUM} the mathematics tutorial at St. John's and the ordinary course in mathematics. Ptolemy presents a mathematical theory of the heavenly motions, but he gives more than that: His work is both an example of mathematics applied to phenomena and a companion to the philosophical, poetic, and religious readings that are taken up in the first and second years. In the second year, the students continue the study of Ptolemy, with emphasis upon those difficulties and complexities of the geocentric system that are brilliantly transformed by the Copernican revolution. They study Copernicus' transformation of the Ptolemaic theory into heliocentric form. They next take up the Conics of Apollonius to learn a synthetic presentation of the very objects whose analytical treatment by Descartes marks the beginning of modern mathematics. After this they study analytic geometry, which presents the conic sections in algebraic form. They thus gain an understanding of algebra as the "analytic art" in general. In the third year, calculus is studied both analytically in its modern form and geometrically as Newton presented it in his Principia Mathematica. This is followed by an examination of Dedekind's theory of real numbers, the endeavor to provide a rigorous arithmetical foundation for the calculus. The students then return to Newton's Principia to take up its treatment of astronomy, in which Newton brings heavenly and earthly motions under one law and replaces a purely geometric astronomywith a "dynamic" theory in which orbits are determined by laws of force. The mathematics tutorial is both an introduction to physics and a foundation for the study of the philosophical outlook of the modern world. In the fourth year, the reading of Lobachevski's approach to non-Euclidean geometry invites reflection on the postulates of geometry, as well as on the nature 15 of the geometric art as a whole. Seniors also study Einstein's special theory ofrelativity, which challenges our conventional understanding of the nature of time and space. In Santa Fe, the mathematics and language tutorials of the senior year are replaced for part of the second semester with a visual arts tutorial that includes a close study of classic paintings, beginning with Giotto's frescoes and ending with Picasso'sLes Demoiselles d'Avignon. THE Music TUTORIAL One of the aims of the St. John's program has been to restore music as a liberal art to the curriculum. The study of music at St. John's is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the phenomena of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because they understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind's power to grasp number and measure. The liberal art of music was based, for them, on the ratios among whole numbers. In particular, the music program at St. John's aims at the understanding of music through close study of musical theory and analysis of works of musical literature. In the freshman year, students meet once a week to study the fundamentals of melody and its notation. Demonstration takes place primarily by singing, and by the second semester the students perform some of the great choral works. In the sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides continuing the singing, the music tutorial reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoric, ansl poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots deep in nature. The work of the tutorial includes an investigation of rhythm in words as well as in notes, a thorough investigation of the 'diatonic system, a study of the ratios of fuusical intervals, and a consideration of :tflelody, counterpoint, and harmony. None !:If these are done apart from the sounding l1:ality of good music. The inventions of h, the songs of Schubert, the masses of estrina, the operas of Mozart, and the trumental works of Beethoven are the real textbooks. In the second semester, at least one major work is analyzed closely. Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. Group discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it. �................................... ..... --------------~----- 16 {THE CURRICULUM} THE LABORATORY T hree hundred years ago, algebra and the ar~s of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by Rene Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, politics, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the St. John's program and one that the college takes special care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last two years of the program exhibit the far-reaching changes that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the period from Homer to Descartes. Modern mathematics has made possible the exploration of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has provided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast project of study conceived by the great thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical interpretation of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. Liberal learning is concerned with the artifices of the human mind and hand that help us to relate our experiences to our understanding. For this purpose, St. John's has set up a three-year laboratory in the natural sciences, wherein characteristic and related topics of physics, biology, and chemistry are pursued. There is the art of measurement, which involves the analytical study of the instruments of observation and measurement; crucial experiments are reproduced; the interplay of hypothesis, theory, and fact has to be carefully scrutinized. All of this is sup- ----~~~~~~~~~----------------------------.i '' {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 17 ported by the mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques. The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research. It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human enterprise involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills. The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies :from the humanities, as if they were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. There need not be "two cultures." Different fields of exploration require different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits stems :from sources common to all intellectual life. THE ORGANIZATION OF THE LABORATORY WORK The laboratory program is largely determined by three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the study of science: (r) The formally scheduled experimental work must be combined with a full and :free discussion of the instruments and principles involved in it. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific discipline to its roots in principle, assumption, and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters are to be selected as problems in which the roles ~f theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (3) The schedule of laboratory work should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation. The students must have time to satisfy themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can they come to a mature understanding of the sciences called laboratory section consists of fourto sixteen students working under 'dance of a tutor, with the help of advanced students serving as assisSections meet two or three times a • A laboratory session may be used position and discussion of theory, erimentation, or for both, as the of the work requires. Occasionally, oratory meeting is reserved for the discussion of a classic paper or other text directly related to the topic at hand; writings of Aristotle, Galen, Harvey, Huygens, Newton, Lavoisier, Maxwell, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory an.d in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the purpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and empirical inquiry. �18 {THE LABORATORY TOPICS THE FIRST YEAR The general topics of study have been chosen from elementary physical and biological sciences. The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: The laboratory begins with twelve weeks devoted to topics in observational biology: classification of types, anatomical structure, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, and embryological development. Close observation by the naked eye or with microscopes is accompanied by constant theoretical interpretation, based on reading important works of biological scientists. Here the student confronts organisms as self-moving entities with properties of wholeness, intimately dependent on, yet distinct from, the surrounding world. The freshman laboratory next turns to the nonliving in a search for fundamental laws. Archimedes on the lever and on hydrostatics is studied, then the laws of equilibrium of gases, temperature, and ISTYEAR 12 20 weeks: Observational biology weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry ~.ll:r.>.Y~~...............................................................................

JOHN'S CURRICULUM} calorimetry are taken up, experimentally and in discussion of the relevant theories. These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the theory that matter is composed of discrete particles. The student compares the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance and substantial change, and goes on to study and discuss important original texts bearing on the development of the atomic-molecular theory. Experiments are performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the physical and chemical transformation of which they speak. The year's work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this determination. THE THIRD YEAR The third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional divisions of physics, such as mechanics, optics, and electromagnetism. Throughout the year, experimentation is accompanied by the reading of important original writings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, and Maxwell. The mathematical tools of physics are to be put to work in the laboratory at the same time that their rigorous development is pursued in the mathematics tutoAs the tools of the calculus become 'tl!"\'ailable, the emphasis shifts from a ,~ect, qualitative description of force, ;~cceleration, work, energy, and potential fields to their reformulation in terms of 'ii:rivative and integral; at the same time, ~e physical concepts serve to illustrate · ~~ mathematical ideas. The concepts of ~echanics are to be used to formulate native theories of light - corpuscular nrus. COLLEGE} 19 and wave - and the success of either theory in accounting for optical phenomena is examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromagnetic theory of light. THE FOURTH YEAR In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first ten weeks, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism - but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrodinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. Following the course of thought in Schrodinger's What is Life?, the senior laboratory then turns or returns to biologic al topics, and first to genetics, to Mendel's theory of heredity and its development through the experimentation and interpretation by T. H. Morgan and his associates. The results of laboratory studies of bacteria populations are considered from the standpoint of their evolutionary significance in the papers of Hardt and of Luria and Delbruck. Next, fundamental papers leading to present-day molecular biology - for instance by Beadle and Tatum, Watson and Crick, Jacob and Monod - are studied. �20 {TH.E THE FORMAL LECTURE T {ST. CURRICULUM} he curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar readings or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students' readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: It inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability of what they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials. Others may have a lasting effect on the direction that students' work takes within the framework of the program.

JOHN'S COLLEGE} U R R I C U L U M } ST. JOHN'S LIST OF GREAT BOOKS T he list of books that serves as the core of the curriculum had its beginnings at Columbia College, at the University of Chicago, and at the University of Virginia. Since r937, it has been under continuous review at St. John's College. The distribution of the books over the four years is significant. More than two thousand years of intellectual history form the background of the first two years; about three hundred years of history form the background for almost twice as many authors in the last two years. The first year is devoted to Greek authors and their pioneering understanding of the liberal arts; the second year contains books from the Roman, Medieval, and Renaissance periods; the third year has books of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most of which were written in modern languages; the fourth year brings the reading into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The chronological order in which the books are read is primarily a matter of convenience and intelligibility; it does not imply a historical approach to the subject matter. The St. John's curriculum seeks to convey to students an understanding of the fundamental problems that human beings have to face today and at all times. It invites them to reflect both on their continnities and their discontinnities. The list of books that constitute the core of the St. John's program is subject to review by the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Those listed here are read at one or both campuses. Books read in seminar are indicated by an asterisk. 23 FRESHMAN YEAR *Homer: *Aeschylus: *Sophocles: *Thucydides: *Euripides: *Herodotus: *Aristophanes: *Plato: Aristotle: Euclid: *Lucretius: "'Plutarch: Nicomachus: Lavoisier: Harvey: Essays by: lliad, Odyssey Agamemnon, Libation Bearers, Eumenides, Prometheus Bound Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus, Antigone, Philoctetes Peloponnesian War Hippolytus, Bacchae Histories Clouds Meno, Gorgias, Republic, Apology, Crito, Phaedo, Symposium, Parmenides, Theaetetus, Sophist, Timaeus, Phaedrus *Poetics, *Physics, *Metaphysics, *Nicomachean Ethics, On Generation and Corruption, *Politics, Parts ofAnimals, Generation ofAnimals Elements On the Nature ofThings "Lycurgus," "Solon" Arithmetic Elements of Chemistry Motion ofthe Heart and Blood Archimedes, Fahrenheit, Avogadro, Dalton, Cannizzaro, Virchow, Mariotte, Driesch, Gay-Lussac, Spemann, Stears, J.J.

Thomson Bohr Millikan SchrOdinger Darwin Freud Einstein Heisenberg Watson & Crick Jacob&Monod A t St. John's, the teaching members of the faculty are called tutors. The title professor is avoided to signify that it is not the chief role of the tutors to expound doctrines in their field of expertise. Instead, learning is a cooperative enterprise carried out in small groups with persons at different stages of learning working together. All participants in a class are expected to prepare for their discussion by studying the text that is the principal teacher of the class -it might be Plato or Newton or Jane Austen or one of the other authors who wrote from the high point of their learning. What then is the role of the reading and talking teachers, the tutors? First of all, they should be good questioners, able to raise important issues that will engage the intellectual and imaginative powers of their students. Next, they must be good listeners, able to determine the difficulties of their students and to help them to reformulate their observations and examine their opinions. The tutors should be ready to supply helpful examples and to encourage students to examine the implications of their first attempts at understanding. In summary, the role of the tutors is to question, to listen and to help. 3,'he help might take the form of translation, experimentation, demonstration or explanation, but first of all the tutor will on the students to try to help themes. In order that conversations at St. John's '11 not be limited to what fits neatly side a single discipline, it is essential t St. John's tutors re-educate thems to acquire increased understanding ose parts of the program that are outtheir field of post-graduate training. example, tutors with advanced ees in mathematics would prepare c 0 R D E R } 27 themselves to lead language tutorials requiring translations from Sophocles or Racine. The advantage ofthis for students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not parry their far-ranging questions with the reply that these matters are handled in another department. There are no departments! The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are continually tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find time to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John's program. This preparation is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either two tutorials or of one tutorial and a laboratory section, and they are continually teaching their colleagues and learning from them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more deeply into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John's than the preparation for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious study. Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up. Leaders of such groups are sometimes relieved of part of their ordinary teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a subject chosen by themselves or the Instruction Committee of the faculty. Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain periods. Although the subject under study may not be directly related to the St. John's curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new perspectives for teaching and learning at St. John's. �28 {THE ACADEMIC P T THE LIBRARY T he books chosen for study at St. John's are collected in the best editions and translations that can be obtained. These works form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes serving as secondary sources and representative works in the major fields of learning. Holdings are most extensive in philosophy, literature, and the history of science. The library also provides newspapers and periodicals, audio-visual materials, multiple copies of some seminar readings, and other smaller collections. A faculty committee assists the librarians with collection development. The Greenfield Library in Annapolis houses a collection of approximately rno,ooo volumes. The library building, renovated in r996, provides comfortable study spaces as well as computer terminals with access to the catalogue, other JOHN'S SCHEDULES THE INSTRUCTION COMMITTEE he Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction. It also advises the presidents on appointments to the faculty. The committee consists of the deans and twelve tutors, six: elected by the tutors on each campus of the college; the presidents sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio. The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year. The full committee meets annually, alternating between the two campuses, and the dean at the host campus presides at those anl).ual meetings. {ST. ORDER} library databases, and the Internet. The Music Library in Mellon Hall contains scores and recorded music. The Faith and John Meem Library opened in Santa Fe in r990. The library now contains more than 65,000 volumes, and offers a variety of study areas designed to accommodate up to half of the student body at a given time, including two 24-hour study rooms, and a music room with listening carrels and more than 8,ooo compact disks, records, and tapes. The library also provides public terminals for accessing electronic resources and the Internet. Both libraries hold interesting special collections, including several hundred early or first editions of works read in the program. Annapolis has the Bray Collection, dating from r696 and known as the "first public library in America," as well as the Prettyman Collection of signed and inscribed books. The Witter Bynner Collection and the Edgar Allen Poe Collection in Santa Fe contain first editions of each poet, as well as other belles lettres. In addition, the Santa Fe library contains a faculty and alumni publications collection and the Holtzman Music Collection. erhaps the most distinctive mark of St. John's College is the fact that all the students of the same year are reading the same books at the same time with the same immediate preparation. This may be the week when all freshmen are learning the Greek alphabet; or the w~eks when they are meeting the highest type of Greek mathematics in the fifth book of Euclid's Elements; or the time of the first assignment in Thucydides, when students and seminar leaders are thinking about the ' implications for liberty in Pericles' funeral oration. Thus all students, having a common program of study, have a common ground for conversation. 29 COLLEGE} Except for the preceptorials in the junior and senior years, and certain periods of laboratory work for which the upperclassmen may choose their own time, the schedule is the same for all students. The language, mathematics, and music tutorials each meet for three-andone-half hours to four-and-one-half hours per week. Freshmen, juniors, and seniors spend up to six: hours each week in the laboratory. Two evenings, from eight to ten, all students attend a seminar. A formal lecture or concert is given once a week. Sixteen to nineteen hours per week are spent in regular classes. The year is divided into two semesters of sixteen weeks each. A SAMPLE FRESHMAN SCHEDULE, ANNAPOLIS MONDAY 9:00 - 10:10 A.M.

These essays are based directly upon books in the program. ORAL EXAMINATIONS Toward the end of each semester, oral examinations are held. These are conducted by the seminar leaders. The students are questioned freely and informally on the texts they have read or the paper they have written and on their critical and interpretive opinions. It is not the principal aim of the examiners to find out how much students remember. Students are encouraged to consider the different parts of their study in relation to each other and to problems that may not have been treated in any of their classes. For freshmen, the first oral examination of the year is given before the winter vacation, and for juniors and seniors just before preceptorials begin. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} ORDER} Before the second semester of their sophomore year, students must pass an examination in elementary algebra and trigonometry. Review sessions are offered. THE FINAL EssAY AND ORAL EXAMINATION In the senior year, the student is required to present to the faculty a final essay related to some aspect of the four years' work. It is not intended to be a piece of specialized research, but rather a sustained performance in the liberal arts. Four weeks at the start of the second semester are reserved for essay writing; during this period the seniors attend no classes. If the final essay is approved by the faculty committee to which it has been assigned for reading, the student is examined about it by the committee in an hour-long public examination. No degree is awarded unless both the essay and the oral examination are satisfactory. The senior essay is regarded as a culmination of the student's learning. ACADEMIC STANDING B ecause St. John's classes are small and intimate, and because students participate actively, tutors are aware of their students' progress from day to day. The tutors' appraisals of a student are based on the student's total performance as a member of the tutorials and seminar. It is assumed that each student has the required capacities to pursue this course of study until there is clear evidence to the contrary. The curriculum is varied and rich enough for great diversity of interest, performance and achievement, and there is ample room within it for a wide range of ability and for individual choice and guidance. Moreover, St. John's is free from the pressures of conventional examinations and competition for grades. Because student participation is essential to the way in which classes are conducted at St. John's, attendance at all regularly scheduled college exercises is required. A record of absences is kept. This record is taken into consideration whenever there is occasion to determine academic standing. 31 time students are seniors, it is assumed that they can evaluate their own work, and there is no don rag unless a tutor believes that there is a special need for one. If a student's work as a whole falls below a satisfactory level, the student may be placed on academic probation, with the stipulation of conditions that must be met if the student is to continue in the college. The normal probationary period is one semester. LETTER GRADES Students are encouraged not to work for grades, but to develop their powers of understanding. Therefore, within the college, grading is not of central importance. Students are told their grades only on :request. The tutor's comprehensive judgment of a student is :reported to the dean each semester as a conventional letter grade, A, B, C, Dor F, where C indicates that the work is at a satisfactory level. Such a grading system is necessary for students who wish to enter graduate or professional school, or to transfer to another college. If it becomes evident that a student is not progressing or that the learning process has stopped, the student is asked to leave the college. SOPHOMORE ENABLING Within the college, the most important form of evaluation is the don rag. Once a ·~emester, freshmen, sophomores, and 'Juniors meet with their tutors in the don . The tutors report to one of the semileaders on the students' work during semester; the students are then invitrespond to their tutors' reports and ent on their own work. Advice may requested and given; difficulties may aired; but grades are not reported or ssed. the junior year, conferences replace of the don rags. In conferences, stu:report on their own work, and then tors comment on that report. By the Sophomore enabling is a review by the Instruction Committee, with the advice of all the tutors of sophomores, of the student's learning during the two years spent in the college. The sophomore essay is especially important in the enabling procedure. Consequently, no students are enabled to enter the junior class unless they have written a satisfactory essay, and then only if in the judgment of the Instruction Committee they are sufficiently prepared for the work of the final two years. In particular, the enabling judgment looks to the possibility of the student writing an acceptable senior essay. �32 {THE ACADEMIC THE ST. JOHN'S DEGREE, BACHELOR OF ARTS T he student who completes the four-year curriculum satisfactorily is awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students who enter in the January session graduate in three and one-half years, but they spend their first summer in completing their freshman year, so that they, too, complete a four-year curriculum. On the transcript, St. John's seminars, tutorials, and laboratories are translated into terms of conventional subjects. The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately one hundred thirty-two semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN'S I n a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John's alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John's graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 2r.93 are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; • r8.83 are in communications or the arts; • r7.33 are in business or business-related occupations; {ST. JOHN'S ORDER} • 9. 73 work in the field oflaw, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 9.43 work in computers/sciences/mathematics; • 6.93 work in the health professions, mainly as physicians; • 6.63 work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry. • 9-43 choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreign service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ecology. More than 753 of St. John's graduates pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with close to 303 of each graduating class pursuing advanced studies at leading universities across the country. St. John's students consistently score substantially above the national averages on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Most fields of study may be entered directly from St. John's. Some of the more highly technical fields may require additional preparation, either prior to or during the first year of graduate study. St. John's has developed special programs and relationships with specific graduate and professional schools to help entry into fields such as medicine, business, engineering, and teaching. THE ST. }OHN's DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS Tutors who have completed two years of teaching at St. John's may receive a master's degree in liberal arts. They must petition the Instruction Committee for permission to present themselves as candidates for the degree. They must then submit a thesis on a topic approved by the Instruction Committee and stand for an oral examination upon it. The topic must have some bearing on the understanding and practice of the liberal arts. COLLEGE} 33 I THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION T he Graduate Institute at St. John's College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, modeled on that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from college graduates with diverse educational and cultural backgrounds and with varied interests and professions. DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN LIBERAL ARTS T he aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and discussing with others the great books of the Western tradition. The readings are orga.ni:zed into five segments: Literature, Poliand Society, Philosophy and TheoloMathematics and Natural Science, and "story. Students must complete four of ese five segments to earn the Master of ts in Liberal Arts degree (thirty-six ester credit hours). These segments en together constitute a closely inteted program of study. asses are small and based on discusof classic texts, but differ in signifiways. The heart of the curriculum is seminar in which fourteen to twentystudents engage in a discussion initiby a tutor's question about the dreading. In the tutorial, a slightly group of students (twelve to sixuses more intensively on smaller ents, either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and spring terms, and usually four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master's essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately sixty to eighty students have been enrolled on each campus during each session. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools. �35 34 THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM** .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Its course of study consists of thirty-four semester credit hours, completed in one calendar year, beginning in the fall and concluding in the summer. It is offered only on the Santa Fe campus. The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial in either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. In the seminar, fourteen to twenty-one students discuss assigned readings from a wide range oflndian, Chinese, and Japanese texts. In the tutorial, twelve to fifteen students study either Sanskrit or classical Chinese. The goal is not mastery, but rather sufficient familiarity with the elements of the languages to gain some insight into their structure and to trans- late selected short passages from classical texts. In the preceptorial, eight to twelve students study a single work or theme for an eight-week period. Each student is required to write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. ·Classes meet in late afternoons and evenings to accommodate students who work part-time, but due to the intensive nature of the program, full-time work is not encouraged. �..................................--------------------""-'!.....----~~~~~~--,-~----------------------------.~ 37 36 THE EASTERN CLASSICS CURRICULUM ...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Students have a right to inform the college within a reasonable period of time that any or all ofthis directory information should be withheld. The college will respect any such request for privacy. �{R E s I D E N c E & The college is well aware that physical activities, artistic expression, and lighthearted recreation ~e necessary complements to an intellectual life, and it is committed to providing the facilities, funds, and support needed to make them available. Such activities in Annapolis are sponsored both by the Director of Athletics and by the Student Polity. In Santa Fe they are organized by the Student Activities Office (SAO), which is responsible for providing instruction and equipment. THE ANNAPOLIS CAMPUS .................................................................................................................. ·"'.···s ~ ince its founding as King William's School in r696, St. John's has been situated in the colonial seaport town of Annapolis, capital of the State of Maryland. Its population of 50,000 'people is occupied principally with the i!)iOVernment of the state and of Anne Arundel County; with the training of • ~idshipmen at the United States Naval ~ademy; with the fish, crab, and oyster ~dustry; and with the sailing and recre•· nal activities of the Chesapeake Bay. The campus of thirty-six acres lies in 'tbe historic district, adjoining College Creek, one block from the State House d across the street from the Naval Acady yard. The fifteen buildings include -century historic homes (now classs, offices, and a dormitory), rgthVictorian structures, and 2oth-cenbuildings designed to complement er ones. There are six student <lorries, offering single and double s. .he community of students has gov.d itself since r945 with elected offid delegates representing each dorand the off-campus constituency. dent Polity representatives, called te Council, meet once a week requests from students for funds, ind students of their responsibili- sT u D E N T L I F E } 39 ties to the college community, and to express student opinion on common problems. The Delegate Council also meets with members of the college administration to discuss matters of mutual concern and maintains a Student Committee on Instruction, which works with the Faculty Instruction Committee on academic matters. A Food Committee works with the dining hall manager to develop satisfactory dishes for regular and vegetarian menus. The Gadfly, a student newspaper, provides a second medium for expression of opinion to the community as a whole . Controversy ranges from petty to vital; essays, reviews, and news are also included. Energeia, the college's student-run literary magazine, is published annually and contains longer and more polished essays, poetry, and fiction. Students are also welcome to contribute to The Reporter and The St. John's Review, the two official publications of St. John's . Extracurricular organizations at St. John's are generally informal. Some continue year after year, while others spring up and die out as the individual members of the community come and go. Many extracurricular activities grow directly out of the curriculum as students' interests overflow from the classroom. The past years have seen small classes and study groups - some led by students, others by tutors - in harmony, Latin, Chinese, German, the New Testament, Hegel, Leibniz, African-American literature, and selected women writers. Other activities stem from interests independent of the college curriculum, such as astronomy, dance, and the martial arts . A network of PC and Macintosh computers is available for student use in a computer lab. The lab, open 24 hours a day, serves mainly to provide students with free access to word-processing and Internet services. Students can use the lab for writing essays, corresponding by �40 { .S T . J0 H N.' S e-mail, printing out papers written on personal computers, and exploring the World Wide Web. Individual computer stations also are available in the library. Theater life is active. The King William Players stage one or two classical plays a year, perform one or two modern works, and produce several one-act plays. Recent productions have included The Winter's Tale, The Nature and Purpose of the Universe, Phaedre, The Midlife Crisis of Dionysus and The Tempest. Every weekend, the student film club presents foreign and domestic films - the classics of cinema art. The selection is eclectic: recent screenings have included Reservoir Dogs, Potemkin, Citizen Kane, and The Seventh Seal. There is also a spe- C 0 L L E G E } cial winter film series on Wednesday nights. Music is pursued in groups and individually. Voice and instrumental ensembles train new members and perform at collegia at the end of each semester. The Small Chorus has recently presented concerts featuring Faure's Requiem, Schubert's Mass in G, and early vocal music. The college provides practice rooms and pianos and a music library of scores and recordings. Private study can be easily arranged on campus or in town. Individual artistic expression needs a time for training and a place to work. Permanent facilities, such as the art studio, ceramic studio, woodworking shop, photography darkroom, and stage floor, {RESIDENCE & provide places to develop specific skills. The college's Mitchell Art Gallery specializes in circulating exhibitions by artists of major stature. Recent shows have included Rembrandt Etchings, Japanese Woodblock Prints, The Figure in 20th Century Sculpture and Space and Place: Mapmaking East and West. Lectures and discussions are scheduled during each show. An exhibit in the spring displays work by members of the college community. There are periodic trips to galleries and museums in Washington and Baltimore; transportation is free of charge for St. John's students. Various artists teaching in their fields of specialization conduct classes in drawing, painting, sculpture, and pottery throughout the year. Materials and tools are furnished without charge in roost cases. Parties, an important part of community life where students and tutors meet informally, come in several varieties. The St. John's Waltz Committee arranges fre. quent parties in the Great Hall, featuring .waltzes and big-band swing music. These ~arties include the Halloween Masked ~all, Mid-Winter Ball, Croquet Waltz, ring Cotillion, and Commencement tz. Rock parties are held regularly in Coffee Shop by members of the junior who also organize Reality Weekend, stival in late spring. Reality begins student skits and parodies, and then STUDENT LIFE} 41 provides two full days of picnicking, games, movies, and music. There are Sunday concerts at the college, and the Political Forum invites lecturers to speak on weekday evenings. Annapolis itself offers church groups of all denominations, synagogues, concerts, plays, historic tours, seafood, sailing, the Naval Academy, hiking, cycling, state government, political work, community service groups, and so on. Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland, both within an hour's drive, offer activities too numerous to mention; the Director of Student Activities schedules trips to both cities to attend plays and films, as well as for individual explorations. ATHLETICS The college provides an extensive intramural sports program that includes team competition in soccer, flag football, volleyball, lacrosse, and croquet, as well as individual tournaments in tennis and table tennis. This highly organized and very popular program, for both men and women, is a mainstay of the college's extracurricular life. Many students abandon athletics when they enter college because they find programs designed for only the select few. At St. John's, they are able to rediscover the joy of amateur athletics in a welcoming setting. Competition between intramural teams is passionate, but good-natured. Students and faculty also pursue interests in fencing (the Fencing Union has regular bouts with local clubs and universities), aikido, yoga, weight training, tai chi, dance, and aerobics. Alumni, siblings, faculty, staff, and even parents may participate. Located at the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Severn River, Annapolis is synonymous with water sports. The College Boathouse, one of the loveliest in the mid-Atlantic region, serves as headquarters for an active crew program. Sweep-oar rowing and sculling are very �42 {ST. }OHN.'S popular activities, and the college's more serious rowers compete in local regattas. The college has a small fleet of sailboats, from lasers to a 24-foot Bristol sloop, along with many rowing dinghies, canoes and kayaks in which students may explore the beauties of the Chesapeake. An annual Sail Picnic, organized by The Friends of St. John's, provides an opportunity for students to sail aboard large yachts. Croquet, too, has a large following, and each spring a team from St. John's takes on the Naval Academy in a much celebrated match for the Annapolis Cup. Athletic facilities on campus include playing fields, tennis courts, a gymnasium with a racquetball court, a well-eqnipped weight room, a dance studio, and a suspended running track. COLLEGE} THE SANTA FE CAMPUS I ..................................................................................................................- n the early Ig6os the college decided to expand its student body. The Board of Visitors and Governors chose to establish a second campus in the West, rather than sacrifice the virtues of a small campus. St. John's College in Santa Fe was opened in the fall of Ig64 in New Mexico's capital, founded in I6IO by Spanish colon.ists. Its population of 65,000 people is occupied principallywith the government of the state and of Santa Fe County; with cultural pursnits in the fine arts, museums, and opera; and with archaeological and historical research. Scientists in nearby Los Alamos do research in nuclear physics and related fields. Neighboring institutions of higher education include the Institute of Ameri- {RESIDENCE & can Indian Arts, the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Community College, and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Sixty miles to the south, Albuquerque provides the attractions and conveniences of a city of 500,000 people. The campus of 250 acres lies in the southeast quadrant of the city, two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architecture of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of 7,300 feet, overlooks the city and offers superb views of the Cerrillos, the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The campus includes a classroom building, a laboratory, a library, a student center, a music and fine arts building, an administration building, three clusters of dormitories, and ten furnished, two-bedroom apartments. A conference services office, dining hall, and student health ()ffice are also located in these buildings. Each of the I6 dormitory units on the campus houses from I2 to I8 stuts, and the eight dorm suites, which ouse five people, serve as a smaller comunityoffriends within the college. More half the rooms are singles. The othare designed in suites of two or three ms to provide each student with the acy of his own quarters and, at the e time, close companionship with a ow student.

The director of residential helps students arrange to live with s who share similar opinions about · g, music, and so on in a dormitory :ents in Santa Fe find it effective to ut problems and ideas on an indibasis with the administration and STUDENT LIFE} 43 faculty, as well as through the machinery of a formal student government, since both the size of the college and the form of the program are conducive to informal and direct communication. There are permanent student representatives to the Financial Aid Committee, Campus Planning Committee, and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees, which concern themselves with such things as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the artistic, the academic, and the athletic. Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet, and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine Arts Building, the darkroom, and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The college's art gallery, which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists monthly. A student art show is scheduled each year, and awards are given for achievement in pottery, photography, drawing, painting, and making jewelry. The Moon, a student newspaper, provides students in Santa Fe with a medium through which to express their views about both the college and the world at large. Au Verso, a literary magazine, �44 {ST. JoHN.'s contains essays, art work, poetry, short stories, and photography from students and faculty alike. Musical performances of many kinds are given by students through the Collegium Musicum. Formed to stimulate musical activity on campus, the association provides members of the college community with an opportunity to perform before small, audiences. Through this organization, students and faculty who play instruments or who sing can find teachers and fellow musicians with whom to or perform. The St. John's Chorus and the small chorus also give recitals. The numerous keyboard instruments, including two grand pianos and a for student practice and performance. Practice moms are available in the Fine Arts Building. The St. John's Film organized by students to provide a wide of classic and current films for the college every Saturday night. students are attracted to the town of Santa Fe its crafts, music, theater, and visual arts. Others have in tutoring in schools, counseling, working on local church restoration, or other local activities. City buses stop near the campus, proto town. Most students come to St. John's with definite interests outside the scope of the program and pursue these interests in extracunicular classes and discussion groups, both on and off campus. Informal discussions of contemporary literature, forums on concexns, and slide shows on art are on-campus activities, as are study groups in such languages as Latin, German, and Hebrew, Thome Fellowships give students support toward fulfillment of medical school during summer months, a leave from the college, or after graduation, COLLEGE} As in Annapolis, waltz parties, rock parties, and such regular events as the Octoberfest (in the mountains surrounding the college), the Halloween Costume Party, the Fasching Ball, the Graduation Ball, and Reality Weekend provide occasions for informal gatherings of tutors and students. Reality Weekend includes a talent show, a picnic, and athletic competition. ATHLETICS Like Annapolis, the Santa Fe campus encourages all students to participate in amateur intramural athletics, regardless of their athletic skills. The new athletic center has a full-sized basketball court, two racquetball/squash courts, a wellequipped weight room, men and women's locker rooms, and a large outdoor equipment room. The student outdoor programs office, the director's office, and a small outdoor xesource library are also located at the new center. The college offers students, faculty, and alumni a variety of sports and outdoor recreational Student interest usually determines which sports and outdoor programs are offered. There are organized tournaments for basketball, volleyball, badminton, table-tennis, racquetball, squash, indoor and outdoor soccer, and There are also opportunities to swim and tennis, softball, and Ultimate Frisbee. The college also supports a Karate-Do program led Jorge Aigla, 6th Dan. ing on student interest, extracurricular classes are offered each year such as Tai Chi, dance, aerobics, and self-defense. Outdoor recreational activities include whitewater canoeing and rafting, downhill and cross-country skiing, snow shoeing, and The Outdoor Programs office organizes extended river trips each fall and spxing in the surrounding Southwest. The neighboring de Cristo Mountains provide hundreds of square miles of forest and wilderness for {RESIDENCE & camping and hiking. Students can join the St, College Search and Rescue Team and learn back-country skills such as map and compass navigation, G.P.A. wilderness medicine, and technical evacuation. The Search and Rescue Team works under the auspices of the New Mexico state police and averages thirty missions a year. The athletic and outdoor program office provides students free use of sports and outdoor equipment; sleeping bags, tents, fly-fishing equipment, mountain bikes, downhill and cross-country skis and snowshoes are just a few of the items available for check-out. The college does not participate in formal athletics and there are no athletic scholarships awarded. The that the college places on the intellectual growth of students and faculty, and the absence of any athletic curriculum should not he mistaken for disdain of athletic endeavors. Despite the rigors of STUDENT LIFE} 45 the curriculum, many of our students and faculty find time to play individual or team sports. BOTH CAMPUSES RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES The Charter of r784 established St. John's College as a non-denominational institution. In its early years, there were some ties with the Protestant Episcopal Church, but these no longer eF_ist. Many tutors and students attend church or synagogue in town. his customary for extracurricular Bible classes to be conducted by tutors of the college. FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS The college bookstore on each campus has all the books and supplies the students need for their classes. It also maintains a stock of books :related to all of the program, and books of more gen er- �{RESIDENCE 46 {ST. JoHN·'s al interest. It is operated without profit. Both campuses maintain computer laboratories for student use, providing free access to word processing and Internet services, including e-mail. PC and Macintosh computers are available in the laboratories and in the library. AB supports for an active social life, the college provides on each campus a coffee shop and a junior common room for the use of all students. In addition, there are smaller, comfortably furnished social rooms in the dormitories and elsewhere on the campus. DORMITORIES The dormitories form small communities within the larger college communities, helping the incoming students to make proper use of the support that other students can give them in their college life. Unmarried students are required to live in the college dormitories and to take their meals in the college dining hall, unless they apply in writing to and obtain permission from either the assistant deans or directors of residential life to live off-campus. The college does not guarantee housing for married students. However, in Santa Fe there are a small number of furnished, two-bedroom apartments, that may be available for married students during the academic year. Such students should check with the appropriate Admissions Office about the availability of housing on campus or in the local community. Room assignment is the responsibility of the assistant deans in conjunction with the directors of residential life. Returning students have the privilege of drawing for rooms before they leave for the summer vacation. In Annapolis, students are not permitted to remain in residence during winter or spring vacation. In Santa Fe, students are not permitted to remain in residence & STUDENT LIFE} 47 COLLEGE} during winter vacation. They may remain during spring vacation, although a small fee is charged. DINING HALL The dining halls in Annapolis and Santa Fe are operated by catering services. Vegetarian and vegan menus are available. Resident students are required to eat in the dining hall. INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES Because both of St. John's campuses are small, cohesive, and supportive communities, there is no separate office designated for international student services. The Office of the Assistant Deans handles all aspects of student life and provides counseling and guidance on an individual basis. In addition, each new student participates in a two-day orientation program at the time of registration. The college's registrars act as advisors to all international students with respect to visa requirements and related matters. Informal "F-1" clubs have been formed by international students together with other students, faculty, and staff for special social events, but, in general, international students find themselves easily participating in the mainstream of campus academic and social life. CAREER SERVICES The Placement Office on each campus offers a wide range of programs and services that include: • individual career counseling • information and assistance in applying to graduate and professional schools • information and assistance in applying for scholarships and fellowships internship opportunities • assistance with resume-writing and other job-search skills • access to a national alumni career network • pre-law and pre-medical advising • on-campus career workshops and meetings with alumni · • information and referrals on current career and job opportunities • community service opportunities • job postings on the St. John's website St. John's remains committed to providing high-quality assistance to students and alumni as they make the transition to activities and pursuits beyond St. John's. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT SERVICES An employment service, under the supervision of the Placement Office, offers off-campus jobs. Primarily, it provides part-time employment for students during the academic year, but it also can aid students looking for full-time or part:time summer employment in the local community. .A Student Health Center on each campus provides a variety of health services for enrolled students. Counseling services are ·\also available on campus. These services .a:re free of charge or provided at low cost. RULES OF RESIDENCE ~ocial order and the well-being of each dent make necessary certain rules of ·dence governing the use of dormito. These rules have been decided upon the deans in consultation with students d faculty. Every entering student is armed of them, and returning uppersmen are reminded of them each fall. e rules differ in certain details on the campuses, though in general they folthe same pattern. he academic and intellectual life of community is inseparable from the unal life. The building of a good unity requires the faculty to show ct for the individuality of each stuAll students agree to abide by the rules and regulations promulgated in the Student Handbook published annually by the college. St. John's assumes that students will respect not only the enacted rules, but also the community-accepted canons of decent behavior. In extreme cases, where these canons are flouted, the college may require withdrawal of the offending student. The use of illegal drugs and the misuse of legal drugs, including alcohol, are fundamentally incompatible with the program of study at St. John's College. Students who engage in such activities face severe disciplinary action. PROPERTY DAMAGE The college provides a housekeeping staff to care for the dormitories. The college inspects the rooms periodically and repairs, at the expense of the occupant or occupants, any dormitory room and furni·ture that have been damaged beyond normal wear and tear. Any damage to college property is charged to the caution fee of the student or students responsible for the damage. The college is not responsible for the loss .of, or damage to, any student property resulting from fire, theft or any other cause. �48 {SITE {SITE PLAN} ANNAPOLIS, SANTA MARYLAND FE, PLAN} NEW 49 MEXICO COLLEGE CREEK LOWER PLAYING FIELD SOCCER FIELD BOATHOUSE .............

Those who apply want an education that consists of careful reading and consideration of the most demanding books; will of serious conversation in which learn to consider the thoughts of others as well as their own; and of active parin their own education.

Thus, for the most part, select themselves. Some are of course, but a wide variety of students is accepted each year. The pmpose of the admission process is to determine whether an applicant has the necessary preparation and to complete the St. John's program satisfacThe Admissions Committee - five tutors and the Director of Admissions on campus - regards the application as a from the applicant: "Do you think I am ready to profit from the tlJ:C)!ffam of studies at St. John's?" In the essays, applicants are asked to their previous education, their .n:a><"''' for choosing St. John's, and their with books. A number of topics are suggested. The essays """'!0:11eu to enable applicants to give a 51 full account of themselves. They can tell the committee much more than statistical records reveal. Next the committee considers the academic achievement and promise. Previous academic records - the secondary school report and college transcript, if there is one - show whether an applicant has the habits of study necessary at St. John's. Letters ofreference, particuthose of teachers, are carefully read for indications that the has the maturity, self-discipline, abilir;, energ-y, and initiative to succeed in the St. John's program. St. John's attaches little tance to test sco:res, and no applicant is or ,·ejected because of such scores. The committee's decisions are not influenced the race, religion, sex, age, color, physical handicaps or national or ethnic of an or any other factors unrelated to the v1ork of the college. The application asks a minimum of personal data . Need for financial assistance does not affect the committee's decisions on admission. SL John's has decided to remain a small college in which the students and faculty are known to each other. Each campus serves about fr50 undergraduates. The size of each class is limited on each campus. Most freshman classes are about equally divided betvveen men and women. Classes enter in late August and Occasionally, there may be a January class on only one campus. New students are enrolled only as freshmen; typically rn3 to 15% of each entering class have done one, two, or even three years of college work elsewhere. These students, despite having good records at other colleges, relinquish their advanced standing to take part in the St. John's program. Freshmen who enter in January stay on campus the following summer to complete the first year. They can thus �52 {ST. {ADMISSION} graduate a year earlier than if they had postponed their entrance until the following fall. The January class is of particular interest to students who come to St. John's from other colleges, who have traveled or worked since graduation from high school, or who wish to enter St. John's immediately after the first semester of their senior year of high school. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION M ost applicants have a strong background in academic subjects. Specific academic requirements include two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a foreign language; additional work in mathematics and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. In addition to the application essays and secondary school report, each applicant must present transcripts of any college work and two letters of reference, including one from a teacher. In exceptional cases, certain of these requirements may be waived, or additional information may be requested. SAT or ACT test scores are not normally required, but may prove helpful. Occasionally, St. John's accepts an applicant who is not a secondary school graduate. Such students must be well qualified to profit from the college program and must either submit the results of a nationally recognized test (SAT, ACT, or PSAT) or a GED certificate. A campus visit and interview are especially important in such cases. INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS St. John's is authorized under federal law to enroll foreign students. In order to be considered for admission, international students must have followed a pre-university course of study and must submit the following documents: I. A completed St. John's application form accompanied by the required essays. 2. Two letters of reference, at least one of which must be from a teacher of an academic subject. 3. An official record of secondary work, with all courses and grades, including the results of the appropriate examinations (e.g. "A" Levels, International Baccalaureate, and so on). This must be accompanied by an explanation of the grading system used and an English translation of records in other languages. 4. Test results from: a. The Student Assessment Test (SATr) or the American College Test (ACT). b. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), ifthe applicant's first language is not English. TEST CODE NUMBERS St. John's College's test code numbers for the College Entrance Examination Board (SAT and TOEFL) are: Annapolis= 5598; Santa Fe = 4737. The American College Test (ACT) numbers are: Annapolis = r732; Santa Fe = 2649 PROCEDURE S t. John's College is one college located on two campuses. Although applications must be initiated and completed at one campus or the other, admission to either campus constitutes admission to the college as a whole. On inquiry, prospective students receive a statement of the St. John's College program, an application for admission and recommendation forms to be completed by schools and references. Applications may be submitted as early as the second semester of the eleventh grade. i JOHN'S Because the college welcomes all serious applicants, there is no application fee. Students should submit their application materials to the Admissions Office on the campus they prefer to attend. Students planning to apply for financial aid should refer to the section on Fees and Financial Aid and notify the appropriate Admissions Office of their intentions as soon as possible. St. John's is committed to maintaining its low student/faculty ratio (8 tor). In order to meet this commitment, the number of students in each freshman class is carefully controlled. Candidates for .. admission are advised that applicants who meet the suggested deadlines (see below) are in a better position to secure places in the entering classes and early consideration for financial assistance than those who apply later. Applications for fall classes should be filed as early as possible and preferably no later than March r; candidates wishing to . enroll in January should apply no later than December r5. Applications are processed on a rolling basis. As soon as the application essays and supporting i .•documents are received, the application is ~viewed by the Admissions Committee. i;rhe applicant is notified of the commit~e's decision in about two weeks. Acceptstudents have the option to enroll on er campus. ;f,,itte applications for both fall and J anuclasses will be considered, but appliare advised that the earlier their are completed, the greater their ces of securing positions in the enterclass on the campus of their choice. notification of acceptance, appli;have the option to enroll on either s. In order to secure a place in the COLLEGE} 53 entering class, approved applicants must submit a deposit of $300 to the Admissions Office on the campus at which their applications were processed, together with a statement specifying the campus they wish to attend. Once the deposit has been submitted, the campus preference may not be changed except as noted below. Deposits are nonrefundable, except as noted below, and are applied to first semester tuition and fees. Deposits are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the available positions are filled. Typically, the fall classes fill by the middle of May, so while there is ample time to consider offers of admission from other institutions, the earlier a decision can be reached, the better. January classes usually fill by the end of December. Students who submit deposits before the end of the first week of May (for the fall term) or December 3r (for the January term) have a significantly higher chance of securing positions in the entering classes than those who submit deposits later. If the entering class on the applicant's first-choice campus is full when the deposit is received, the Admissions Office will offer the following options: r) the deposit may be transferred to the other �54 {ST. {ADMISSION} campus, provided space remains in that entering class; 2) the deposit may be used to secure a place on the waiting list or in a subsequent class on the applicant's first-choice campus; 3) the deposit may be returned if neither of the first two options is acceptable. FINANCIAL Arn The college endeavors to meet the full demonstrated need of enrolling students requesting financial assistance. Of necessity, however, the amount of financial aid available for each class is limited. It is essential, therefore, that candidates apply for both admission and financial aid early. Applications for financial aid will be processed for approved applicants on a first-come, first-served basis until the available aid is exhausted. Therefore, U.S. citizens and permanent residents requesting financial assistance should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form as early as possible and promptly supply the Financial Aid Office with any additional documentation that may be requested. Non-U.S. citizens requesting financial assistance should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as soon as possible. Students who complete their financial aid applications before February IS (for fall classes) or September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly higher chance of receiving all the aid for which they qualify than those who complete them later. WAITING LIST Once the entering classes are full or the available aid is exhausted, a waiting list will be established in the order in which deposits or completed financial aid files from approved applicants are received. Positions in the entering classes and financial aid will then be offered as they become available. Every effort will be made to accommodate those on the waiting list by allowing them to change their campus preference or to emoll in a subsequent class, as noted above. · lNTERCAMPUS TRANSFER Once enrolled on either campus, students may transfer to the other at the beginning of any academic year, provided their records are in good standing and they notify the Registrar's Office of their intentions by the third Monday in February of the previous year. Those students who wish to apply for financial aid must also file their new financial aid forms by March I. All such transfers are subject to approval by the deans of both campuses and will be restricted if a very large surplus in one direction or the other could pose problems for staffing, class sizes, or housing. STUDENT RIGHT TO KNOW AcT In compliance with this act, the Office of the Registrar will provide and make readily available, upon request, completion or graduation rates to current and prospective students. INQUIRIES Inquiries should be addressed to Director of Admissions, St. John's College, P.O. Box 2800, Annapolis, Maryland 2I404-2800 (Phone: 4rn-626-2522 or 800-727-9238; E-mail: admissions@sjca.edu) or Director of Admissions, St. John's College, u6o Camino Cruz Blanca, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87505-4599 (Phone: 505-984-6060 or 800-33I-5232; E-mail: admissions@ mail.sjcsf.edu). Each campus maintains a World Wide Web site: Annapolis = http://www.sjca.edu and Santa Fe= http://www.sjcsf.edu. JOHN'S CAMPUS VISIT I t is best for those who are considering attending St. John's to see the college for themselves. It is probably wise to get first-hand advance knowledge of any college one may be thinking of attending, but it is especially wise in the case of St. John's because of its unique curriculum and teaching methods. While on campus the visitor may attend a seminar on Monday or Thursday evening at 8 P.M.; attend tutorials in mathematics, language, and music; visit a laboratory; be interviewed by the Director of Admissions, it member of the admissions staff, or a tutor; attend the weekly formal lecture (Friday night); talk informally with St. John's students and tutors; visit the library and bookstore; explore the historic town of Annapolis or Santa Fe; attend a movie, play, art exhibit, or concert; or watch students participating in the sports progiam. Since the seminar, the most important part of the progiarn, meets on Monday and Thursday evenings, student visitors are normally on campus from Monday to Tues®'y or from Thursday to Friday. If travel ~:rangements make these time periods impossible, the visitor may telephone the !dmissions Office for special help. The ·~endar in the front of the catalog should checked to make certain the college will in session during the time of the visit. Those planning to visit should teleone (I-800-727-9238 for Annapolis or o-33I-5232 for Santa Fe) or write the ·ssions Office giving the dates (and :r;nates) they have selected. It is also ssary for the Admissions Office to the approximate time of arrival. the reservation is confirmed by one or letter, the visitor will be told inar reading. If it is necessary to l the visit, the Admissions Office d be notified as soon as possible. e only expense for visitors is trans- COLLEGE} 55 portation. They will be provided a room in a dormitory and meals in the dining hall without charge. St. John's students dress informally for tutorials, but more formally for seminar and formal lecture. The seminar readings usually can be located in inexpensive paperback editions in the college bookstore if a visitor has been unable to locate a copy of the book being discussed in seminar. Linens are provided by the college. Visitors arriving weekdays between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. should go to the Admissions Office. On weekends and any day after 5 P.M., visitors should go to the college receptionist. The receptionist is at the switchboard in Campbell Hall at Annapolis and in Peterson Student Center at Santa Fe. TRANSPORTATION Baltimore-Washington International Airport is located twenty miles from Annapolis. An airport limousine goes to and from Annapolis; visitors are advised to check schedules in advance. Busservice from the airport is not practical. Hourly buses run between Baltimore and Annapolis, and the driver will let visitors off near the campus if asked. Buses from Washington are less frequent and let passengers off on West Street, about six blocks from the college. By car, take Route 50 from Washington; from Baltimore take Route 2 or I-97. Albuquerque International Airport is located sixty miles from the Santa Fe campus. A shuttle service from the airport to Santa Fe is available. Call the Admissions Office for information. Greyhound and Continental bus lines pass through Santa Fe. Amtrak stops at Lamy, N.M., twenty miles from Santa Fe, and taxi service is available to town (reservations should be made with the taxi service one day in advance). Upon arrival at the bus station or at one of the Santa Fe hotels, the easiest way to get to the campus is by taxi. �56 {FEES & FINANCIAL PROCEDURES AND DEADLINES T he college believes that qualified applicants should not be denied the opportunity to attend St. John's College because of limited finances. St. John's therefore maintains a financial aid program to assist eligible students to the greatest extent possible within the limits of the college's resources. With very few exceptions, financial aid awards are made solely on the basis of need. A. The following principles underlie St. John's financial aid program: The primary responsibility for financing a college education lies with the student and the student's parents. The college can offer aid only to supplement funds the family provides. I. 2. The ability of a family to meet college expenses is determined by assessing the family's financial strength in terms of income, assets, debts, and number of family members in college. 3. Financial aid may be in the form of a grant, loan, or part-time employment, and will be offered to all students as a package that combines one or more forms of aid. 4. In keeping with the philosophy that students should contribute to their educational expenses, self-help is, in most cases, the first component of a financial aid award. At St. John's, self-help consists of a part-time job and an educational loan. 5. Financial aid is not automatically renewable; rather, students reapply each year they wish to be considered for aid. 6. Students receiving financial aid must meet the criteria for maintaining satisfactory progress in order to retain their award (see page 57). {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} AID} 7. Financial aid awards are made in accordance with the provisions of Title IV of the Civil Rights Act of r964 and Title IX of the Higher Education Act of rg8o, which prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, sex, physical handicap, age, marital status, creed or ethnic or national origin. B. The procedure for U.S. citizens and permanent residents applying for financial aid is as follows: Applicants must file the current Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In addition, St. John's requires students seeking institutional grant aid to file the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form. These forms may be obtained from either secondary schools or the Financial Aid Office at St. John's. To have an analysis of your forms sent to St. John's, be sure to use the correct code numbers. PROFILE: Annapolis=5598; Santa Fe=4737. FAFSA: Annapolis=oo2092; Santa Fe=oo2093. employment or other financial benefits for which they become eligible; any change in their or their family's financial situation; and changes of name, marital status, and address. after February IS (for fall classes) or after September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly lower chance of receiving all the funds for which they are eligible than those applying earlier. C. Non-U.S. citizens applying for financial aid should note the following: Applications are due by March I from enrolled students who are returning to the college and reapplying for financial aid or are applying for financial aid for the first time. Both the FAFSA and the College Scholarship Service's form should be filed at the earliest date possible in accordance with their published guidelines. Students whose financial aid credentials are received by the Financial Aid Office prior to the March I deadline will be notified of the decision on their application by April I. Students whose applications for financial aid are received after the deadline will not be denied consideration for assistance, but the availability of funds cannot be guaranteed. I. Financial aid for foreign students is limited and competition for it is strong. For non-U.S. citizens, the maximum institutional assistance available is 65% of current tuition, room, and board. In addition to need-based loans and grants, foreign students are eligible for jobs on campus. They are also eligible to apply for summer employment at St. John's, but the availability of jobs cannot be guaranteed. !!.. Non-U.S. citizens should file the Foreign Student Financial Aid Application with the Admissions Office as early as possible, preferably no later than February r5. This form may be obtained from secondary school counseling offices or from the St. John's Admissions Office. No requests for financial assistance will be considered and no offers of financial aid will be made until after a student has been admitted to the college. I. 2. As part of the application for financial aid, parents and students must provide copies of their most recent Federal Income Tax Return and W-2 forms. 3. Self-supporting students are required to meet the federal definition of independence and must comply with federal verification requirements. Independent students must submit parental information in order to be considered for institutional assistance. 4. Recipients of federally funded financial assistance must not be in default on any federal loans received at any institution and must not owe any refunds to the federal programs. 5. Students applying for and receiving financial aid from St. John's are required to notify the Financial Aid Office of any scholarships, loans, grants, gifts, 57 ' Following are the deadlines and notifi. cation dates for financial aid: F:tmsHMAN CANDIDATES: Although the · college has no deadline for receipt of 'financial aid applications, candidates admission who are in need of finan'al assistance should indicate that ed as soon as possible.

Funds for financial aid awards from the college are available from the sources listed below. Funds for St. John's grants are provided by the college from its own resources. St. John's grants do not need to be repaid. ST. JOHN'S GRANTS: FEDERAL PELL GRANT: This federal program is designed to provide financial assistance to those who need it to attend a post-secondary institution. Pell Grants are intended to be the first form of assistance in a financial aid package and may be combined with other forms of aid in order to meet a student's demonstrated financial need. Eligibility for the Pell Grant and the amount awarded are determined on the basis of the financial resources of the applicant and the applicant's family. No repayment of this grant is required. �{ST. JOHN'S 58 The Federal Stafford Loan program enables a student to borrow directly from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association, or other participating lender who is Willing to make the educational loan. The maximum amount an undergraduate may borrow is $2,foi.5 for the freshman year, $g,500 for the sophomore year, $5,500 for the junior year, and $5,500 for the senior year. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is a full-time student. Repayment begins six months after termination of college attendance. For new borrowers, the interest rate is variable, with a maximum rate of 8.25%. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to students who do not meet the financial need criteria for the subsidized Stafford program. Unsubsidized borrowers are charged interest during in-school, grace, and deferment periods. FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN: FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATIONAL The college awards SEOG's to incoming freshmen and enrolled students each year. The grants are awarded to students who demonstrate substantial need with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Eligibility for the SEOG is limited to $4,ooo per year. OPPORTUNITY GRANT: This federal program permits the college to give part-time employment to students who need such earnings to pursue their course of study. Students may work only a limited number of hours per week while enrolled and while classes are in session. FEDERAL WORK STUDY PROGRAMS: FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN: These loans are made by the college directly to students using funds provided, for the most part, by the federal government. Perkins Loans are made available to students with high financial need. The maximum loan is $4,ooo for each year of undergraduate study. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the college. The interest rate during repayment is 5%. There is a provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. Unsubsidized federal loans are available without regard to financial need to the parents of dependent students. The maximum annual PLUS loan is the student's total estimated cost of education less financial assistance. PLUS Loans have a 3% origination fee, a guarantee fee of up to r%, and a variable interest rate with a cap of 9%. Interest accrues from the date of disbursement for all PLUS loans.

BILLING AND DEPOSITS B ,.,, ............................................................................................................... illing fo~ tuition and fees is done prior to each semester. Unless otherwise requested, the college presents its bills directly to the student, with a copy to the parents. The charges are due and payable in full by August r for the first semester and December r for the second semester. Those who may wish to pay in monthly installments should ask the treasurer about the tuition payment plan available to St. John's College students and parents. Since determinations affecting students, faculty, and physical facilities must be made well in advance of the beginning of each academic year, the college must COLLEGE} 59 know in April which returning students will register in September. A deposit of $goo on the fees for the following year is therefore due on or before the second Monday in April for prospective sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the deposit is not paid, the student may have to be placed on a waiting list; students to whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, academic dismissal or (in the case of prospective juniors) failure to enable. If the student should decide not to enroll in the year for which the deposit was made, the deposit is forfeited, and the �60 {FEES FINANCIAL & {FEES AID} ment schedule of tuition and fees corresponding to the schedule on which they receive their benefit payments. These arrangements must be made prior to the beginning of the academic year, after having received proper certification from the Veterans Administration or the Social Security Administration. Students with outstanding debts to the college may not register for classes at the beginning of the second semester and subsequent semesters unless they have made appropriate arrangements with the treasurer. The college may charge interest on all unpaid balances, at rates and on schedules to be determined and published each year. REFUND POLICY student must make a new deposit to secure a place in a subsequent class. Each student is required to make a deposit of $200, called the Caution Deposit, which is used as a last resort to recover unpaid student bills. This fee is paid once at the beginning of the freshman year. If unused, it is refunded when the student leaves the college. Each graduating senior must pay a Commencement Fee of $60 at the beginning of the second semester of the senior year. Veterans and Social Security recipients qualified to receive educational benefits may arrange with the treasurer for a pay- DETERMINATION OF DATE OF WITHDRAWAL A student considering withdrawal prior to the end of the semester may initiate the withdrawal process by notifying the appropriate office of the intention to withdraw.

After a student notifies the Registrar or the Director of the Graduate Institute of an intention to withdraw, the student is urged to discuss the decision with college personnel. A student may rescind the intention to withdraw by not returning the Official Notice of Withdrawal to the Registrar's Office or to the Graduate Institute Office. If a student wishes to reverse a decision to withdraw after the Official Notice of Withdrawal has been $ubmitted, the student must provide a written notification. If a student who rescinded an intention to withdraw does not complete the semester, the official date of withdrawal will be the later of the date the withdrawal form was obtained or the last date of class attendance. 203 803 No Refund I003 Ain} 61 institutional refund is to count the number of calendar days from the first day of classes to the date of withdrawal (weekends are included but scheduled breaks of at least five days are excluded). The schedule on page 60 is used to determine the percentage of fees (tuition, activity fee, room, and board) which will be refunded. The same schedule will be used to calculate the cancellation of non-federal financial aid: the "refund amount" percentage provides the percentage of aid to be cancelled and the "amount charged" percentage corresponds to the revised aid the student will receive. For example, a student withdrawing within the first seven days of school would receive rn% of nonfederal aid that had been awarded. If a student does not notify the Registrar or Director of the Graduate Institute of the intention to withdraw, the date of withdrawal used for the calculation of return of Title IV Funds and institutional refund will be the ''.fnidpoint of the semester. A date earlier or 'later than the midpoint may be used if the college has documentation of the last day student attended class or handed in an signment. If a student withdraws use of circumstances beyond the stut's control, the college will determine date of withdrawal. B. A student who is expelled or asked to withdraw for academic or disciplinary reasons will receive no refund of tuition, room, and board. If a student withdraws prior to the end the semester, a refund of tuition will be de according to the Institutional und Schedule. The student's withal date is established as outlined in initial section of the Refund Policy. next step in determination of the C. If the college determines that the circumstances leading to withdrawal are beyond the student's control, the student will be charged for tuition, activity fee, room, and board based on the percentage of the semester attended (number of days enrolled divided by total number of days in the semester). The same percentage will be applied to institutional aid.

RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS If a student who has received Title IV Funds (federal financial aid) leaves the institution prior to completion of 60% of the semester, a calculation must be performed to determine the amount of unearned aid that must go back to the Title IV programs. No return of Title IV funds is required after 6o%(approximately g weeks of a I6 week semester). The withdrawal date will be established as described in the above Refund Policy. The percentage of Title IV aid which is earned by the student (i.e., the amount of federal aid the student is permitted to keep) is the same as the percentage of the semester completed. This percentage is computed by dividing the total number of calendar days in the semester (including week-ends but excluding scheduled breaks of more than five days) into the number of calendar days completed by the AID} student. For example, a student enrolled for I4 of n2 days would have earned I2.5% of Title IV aid for the semester. In this example, 87.5% of the Title IV aid would be unearned. The institution is responsible for returning to the federal aid programs the lesser of the amount of unearned Title IV aid or institutional charges that the student incurred multiplied by the unearned aid percentage. Federai regulations specify the order in which unearned funds are to be returned to aid programs. The order is: I. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans 2. Subsidized Stafford Loans 3. Perkins Loans 4. Federal Plus Loans 5. Pell Grants 6.SEOG Federal Work-Study funds are not involved in this determination: A student may keep money earned through the Federal Work- Study Program. If the total amount of unearned aid exceeds the amount the school is required to return, a student may need to return federal grant funds which have been received for off-campus living expenses, up to 50% of the amount received for the semester. Student loans and Plus Loans received for off-campus expenses do not have to be returned at the time of withdrawal but must be repaid in accordance with the terms of the loan. The Financial Aid Office will notify a student if a return of federal grant funds is required. Sample cases of refund calculations are available in the Financial Aid Office. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 63 RITERIA FOR JUDGING SATISFACTORY PROGRESS Provisions of the Higher Education Act of ;r980 require that each post-secondary b:istitution make available information concerning the criteria for judging satis~11.ctory academic progress. The criteria for St. John's College regarding the deterination of satisfactory progress for cipients of federally funded (Title IV) ancial assistance are as follows: In order to be making satisfactory gress, at the end of a semester a stut must be permitted to enter the next ester and that next semester must not lude the repetition of any work. This mission is normally granted by the in consultation with a committee of the student's tutors, the "Don Rag mittee." The Don Rag Committee sses a student's work in all parts of the am and approves its quality before mending to the dean that the stube permitted to enter the next semeshis assessment is conducted in the ent's presence by all of his or her tutors in common. At the end of the sophomore year, the dean and the Instruction Committee, with the advice of the tutors, review all of the student's work during the first two years and determine whether or not the student will be allowed to continue. Under some circumstances a student who has not satisfactorily completed a semester's work may be allowed to repeat the work in order to remain at the college. Students are not eligible for financial assistance (federal or institutional) while they are repeating work. Sometimes students are permitted to enter a new semester with the requirement that they meet special conditions during the course of the semester. In these cases, a student is not repeating work and is deemed to be making satisfactory progress until the dean determines that the conditions have not been met. When the conditions have not been met, the dean, in consultation with the Instruction Committee, decides what further determination is to be made of the case. �{FEES 64 & FINANCIAL Federal regulations require that an institution set a maximum time frame in which students must complete their educational objectives. St. John's has set eight years as the maximum time frame in which students who are recipients of federal financial aid funds must earn their B.A. degrees. This may be eight years of full- or part-time study. Years in which a student is not enrolled at St. John's will not count in the eight-year limitation. However, years in which a student is repeating work (and thereby not receiving aid) are considered in the determination of years of study. If a student registers for a class in which he or she was previously enrolled for more than three weeks, the class will be considered as repeated work and the student will not be eligible for financial assistance. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the dean in the case of an involuntary withdrawal due to illness or other mitigating circumstances. Students who are permitted by their Don Rag Committees to enter the next semester with incomplete grades on their records are deemed to be making satisfactory progress and are eligible for financial aid. A student who wishes to appeal a decision regarding academic standing should present a letter of appeal to the Dean of the College. The dean will review the situation, taking into account any special circumstances, and determine whether or not the student is making satisfactory progress. VETERANS/DEPENDENTS In compliance with federal and state regulations, St. John's has developed a set of policies on minimum standards of progress for enrolled veterans. I. St. John's will report to the Veterans Administration within 30 days all incidents of official termination or change of status that would affect benefits. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} AID} 2. Minimum acceptable grades of a C average are expected. If a student falls below this average and/ or the student's tutors think there is a serious academic problem, the Don Rag Committee will recommend a consultation with the dean, who may ask the student to leave the college or may place the student on academic probation. During that probation period, support and counseling are available. Failure to meet standards through two semesters of probation must be reported to the VA. A third semester of certification may not be granted for VA. benefits without approval of a VA. counseling psychologist. 3. The V.A. requires that grades be given for all courses undertaken and that all grades be considered in arriving at a grade point average. Should a V.A. enrolled student withdraw from any course at any point subsequent to the midterm point of any semester, a grade ofFwill be assigned. 4. St. John's will report to the V.A. when a student has not successfully completed 75% of the credits attempted. 5. St. John's will inform students on VA. benefits of this policy on minimum standards of progress. 6. St. John's will inform all veterans and dependents that prior academic credit credentials from post-secondary schools will be evaluated, but prior credits are not applicable to the all-required degree program at the college. However, liberal arts credits previously earned will be deducted from the training time eligibility offered by the Veterans Administration to the transferring student. 65 BIBLIOGRAPHY .................................................................................................................. _ BooKs ABOUT LIBERAL EDUCATION and CHARLES VAN DoREN: How to Read a Book, Simon and Schuster, 1972.

The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on u 0 c~iuu.F', students them than upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, - the arts of language; and ai1d In more terms, the liberal arts to light vvhat is involved in the use of words and numbers in all k.Inds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and and :tlso in measurand demonstrating.

A conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid at these most far-reaching of all human goals. �8 {THE CURRICULUM} THE SEMINAR he heart of the curriculum is the seminar - a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar seventeen to twentyone students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The g:roup meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, from eight until ten or sometimes well beyond if the under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to a:round pages of but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. The seminar begins with a asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for to be heard, but enter the discussion or owithdraw from it at •Nill. The resulting informality is ternth e use of formal modes of address. Once underway, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most to the most gene:raL The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and and to to the surface the students' and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity's ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over suggested by the reading, but bearing only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the In the coffee shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. CU.TPCC,An Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported argument - an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the or their relation to the opinions of others. m their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and t:rying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn, gradually also, that to some extent the p:rocedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy, and it can require a different . Such progress in learning together may be crovvned by sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of the argument," of the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question :remains open with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative deVlces by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into xather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. {ST. JOHN'S Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the "right" It is to guide CUC•vUoo••UH. to keep it moving, to raise and to help the students in every way possible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question But the leaders may also take a definite and stand and enter directly into the argiclment. If they do so, however, they can eiqiect no consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. ConsequentaJI opinions must be defended with reason, and any single opinion can only by general consent. The aim is always COLLEGE} 9 to develop the students' powers of reason and understanding, and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, and submits an essay 011 some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes the major part of the process called enabling (see page 3r). �{THE CURRICULUM} THE PRECEPTORIAL F or about seven to eight weeks in the middle of the year the seminars of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually given a choice of sixteen to twenty preceptorials on books or subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer them. Students may suggest a topic and invite a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the program, some preceptorials may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more than ten students in a preceptorial. Guided by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by the seminar. Usually, the students' work is completed by the writing of papers, which may be read in draft to the preceptorial and criticized by the other members. {ST.

THE TUTORIALS T he seminar cannot suffice as the only setting for liberal education. By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and writing. Other learning devices must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, around a table, about thirteen to sixteen students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to work together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstration, of an important work. As in the seminar, students talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and '.·<'insight to their fellows. Other tutors often 1 attend, seeking to learn about a particular ' :\'' subject that they may later teach. Writing assignments are normally .made in all classes: mathematics, music, )µid laboratory sections, as well as in lanage tutorials. The students are thus ed upon continually to articulate and anize their thinking in both the writand spoken forms. · ation in higher education has led found neglect oflanguage skills. As is separated from country by the 'er oflanguage, so profession is sepafrom profession by technical jargon. a:rily, the language tutorial attempts edy this condition by training in the 11 means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied.i:;onnotations and ambiguities of terms; to the role of metaphors, analogies and images; and to the logical relations that connect propositions. The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years, and French in the third and fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the students learn something of the nature of languages in general and of their own in particular. During the four years, then, they study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, they study their own language. They discover the resources of articulate speech and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent and effective - if it is to be adequate and persuasive. In the beginning, the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language being studied. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one that is concerned with particular details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work. Those are matters �12 {THE CURRICULUM} that do not come directly into seminar discussions. The students' concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed ·with greater than the seminar permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign language, but the students can reasonably expect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they study. To experience the individuality of another language is to extend the boundaries of one's sensibility. The choice of foreign languages is in part dictated by the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary. Latin and German might be used without changing the pattern and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes well with the freshman seminar and mathematics tutorial, and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of the first. The ends with and discussion of works by Shakespeare, Donne, and other English poets. The French of the third year begins with a brief, intensive study of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading of French. Students already fluent in French may be exempted from these early stages. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form and content are related to appropriate writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of their models. In the second semester a play is read - Racine's Phaedre. The principal activity of the fourth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire's Fleurs du JWal. Its immediate object is the understanding and of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of language. \Vriting assignments include exercises in translation more ambitious than those attempted in the third year. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. {ST. JOHN'S THE MATHEMATICS TUTORIAL Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning "to learn." It is then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathernatical. It is equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at SL John's is studied as a liberal <>.rt, not separated from what have come to be called the humanities. When mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not for their matter but also for their elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John's, mathematics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal art but also one that access to others and analogies with them. Theie are tivo main reasons for ing mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines it. 'I11erefore anyone who means to criticize or to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarity with the mathematical methods which The second main reason for studying concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically. Since mathehas, as its name implies, a particuclose connection with the human for learning, its study is especialin helping students to think what it means to come to know COLLEGE} 13 To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of ima~nation, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: "Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its pToper beginnings and ends? "What is the relation of logic to mathematics? What do "better" and "worse," "ugly" and "beautiful" signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constltute a language? Are there "mathematical How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such which grow out of the work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid's organization of the mathematical discoveries of his cessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects - its central expression found in the theory of ratios - which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy's Almagest, centering their attention on the of "hypotheses" constructed to "save the appearances" in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between �14 {THE {ST.

The of music at St. John's is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind's power to grasp number and measure. The liberal music was based, for them, on the ratios among whole numbers, In , the music program at St. John's aims at the once a week to and its notation. takes place the second semester the students some of the great choral sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides the singing, the music tutorial :reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoiic, and poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots in nature. real textbooks. In the second semester, at least one analyzed Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. G1oup discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it" �16 {THE {ST. CURRICULUM} THE LABORATORY hree hundred years ago, algebra and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by Rene Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the Sc John's program and one that the college takes care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last t-wo years of the program exhibit the far-reaching that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the Homer to Descartes. .Modern mathematics has made possible the of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has prnvided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast of conceived the great thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical tion of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. Liberal is concerned ·with the artifices of the human mind and hand that us to relate our to our understanding.

It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills. The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the humanities, as if were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. There need not be "two cultures." Different fields of exploration reqnire different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits sten1s from sources common to all intellectual lifeo Tx-rn ORGANIZATION OF THE LABORATORY WORK The program is mined three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the of science: (I) The scheduled experimental work must be combined with a full and free discussion of the instruments and uH,'P'"o involved in it. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific discipline to its roots in assumption, and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters a.re to be selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (3) The schedule of work should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation. The students must have time to satisfy themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can they come to a matnre understanding of the sciences called teen to suteen students under the guidance of a tutor, with the help of more advanced stndents as assis- ,,v,,,,uvu session may be used and discussion of theory, or for both, as the the discuss10n of a classic paper or other related to the at hand; of Aristotle, Huygens, Newton, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the pmpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and �18 {THE LABORATORY TOPICS THE FIRST YEAR The general topics of study have been chosen from elementary physical and biological sciences. The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: The laboratory begins with twelve weeks devoted to topics in observational biology: classification of types, anatomical structure, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, and embryological development. Close observation by the naked eye or with microscopes is accompanied by constant theoretical interpretation, based on reading important works of biological scientists. Here the student confronts organisms as self-moving entities with properties of wholeness, intimately dependent on, yet distinct from, the surroundingworld. The freshman laboratory next turns to the nonliving in a search for fundamental laws. Archimedes on the lever and on hydrostatics is studied, then the laws of equilibrium of gases, temperature, and ISTYEAR 12 20 weeks: Observational biology weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry -~-~r.ix~~ ..............

CURRICULUM} JOHN'S calorimetry are taken up, experimentally and in discussion of the relevant theories. These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the theory that matter is composed of discrete particles. The student compares the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance and substantial change, and goes on to study and discuss important original texts bearing on the development of the atomic-molecular theory. Experiments are performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the physical and chemical transformation of which they speak. The year's work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this ·determination. T1lE THIRD YEAR The third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional ijivisions of physics, such as mechanics, ·hptics, and electromagnetism. Through~ut the year, experimentation is accompabled by the reading of important original zwrltings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, !Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, and Maxwell . .be mathematical tools of physics are to ~be put to work in the laboratory at the ~ame time that their rigorous develop:~ent is pursued in the mathematics tuto• As the tools of the calculus become lable, the emphasis shifts from a ect, qualitative description of force, eleration, work, energy, and potential ds to their reformulation in terms of • ative and integral; at the same time, physical concepts serve to illustrate mathematical ideas. The concepts of hanics are to be used to formulate native theories of light - corpuscular COLLEGE} 19 and wave - and the success of either theory in accounting for optical phenomena is examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromagnetic theory of light. THE FOURTH YEAR In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first ten weeks, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism - but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrodinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. Following the course of thought in Schrodinger's What is Life?, the senior laboratory then turns or returns to biologic al topics, and first to genetics, to Mendel's theory of heredity and its development through the experimentation and interpretation by T. H. Morgan and his associates. The results of laboratory studies of bacteria populations are considered from the standpoint of their evolutionary significance in the papers of Hardt and of Luria and Delbruck. Next, fundamental papers leading to present-day molecular biology - for instance by Beadle and Tatum, Watson and Crick, Jacob and Monod - are studied. �20 {THE CURRICULUM} THE FORMAL LECTURE T he curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar readings or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students' readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: It inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability of what they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials. Others may have a lasting effect on the direction that students' work takes within the framework of the program. {ST.

The advai.-itage of this fox students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not parry their far-ranging questions with the that these matters are handled in another department. There are no departments! The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find rime to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John's program. This is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either t\Aro tutorials or of one tutmial and a section, and are continually teaching their colleagues and learnfrom them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John's than the for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up, Leaders of such groups are son-1etimes relieved of part of their teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a chosen themselves or the Instruction Committee of the Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain peTiods.

The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately one hundred thirty-two semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN'S I n a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John's alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John's graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 20.8% are in business or business-related occupations; • r6.g3 are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; {ST. ORDER} • r6. 7% are in communications or the arts; • 9% work in the field oflaw, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 7.6% work in computers/sciences; • 7.5% work in the health professions, mainly as physicians; • 63 work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry. • r5.5% choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreign service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ecology. More than 75% of St. John's graduates pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with close to 30% of each graduating class pursuing advanced studies at leading universities across the country. St. John's students consistently score substantially above the national averages on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Most fields of study may be entered directly from St. John's. Some of the more highly technical fields may require additional preparation, either prior to or during the first year of graduate study. St. John's has developed special programs and relationships with specific graduate and professional schools to help entry into fields such as medicine, business, engineering, and teaching. THE ST. JoHN's DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS Tutors who have completed two years of teaching at St. John's may receive a master's degree in liberal arts. They must petition the Instruction Committee fol' permission to present themselves as can"' didates for the degree. They must then. submit a thesis on a topic approved by Instruction Committee and stand for oral examination upon it. The topic m have some bearing on the understan · and practice of the liberal arts. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 33 THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION T he Graduate Institute at St. John's College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, modeled on that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from pollege graduates with diverse educationand cultural backgrounds and with vard interests and professions. EGREE OF MASTER OF RTS IN LIBERAL ARTS he aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and disg with others the great books of the n tradition. The readings are orgato five segments: Literature, Polid Society, Philosophy and Theolothematics and Natural Science, and . ·Students must complete four of 've segments to earn the Master of Liberal Arts degree (thirty-six er credit hours). These segments ogether constitute a closely interogram of study. s are small and based on discusssic texts, but differ in signifiThe heart of the curriculum is in which fourteen to twentyengage in a discussion inititor's question about the · g. In the tutorial, a slightly of students (twelve to sixmore intensively on smaller , either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and spring terms, and usually four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master's essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately sixty to eighty students have been enrolled on each campus during each session. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and is approved for teacher recertification by the New Mexico and Maryland State Boards of Education. �34 35 THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM*'·' DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS LITERATURE PRECEPTORIAL (examples) p RE C E PT 0 R JAL (examples) SEMINAR Montesquieu: The Spirit of the Laws Shalcespeare: The history plays Smith: The Wealth ofNations Rousseau: Emile Hegel: The Philosophy ofRight Aristotle: On the Soul Heidegger: Selected Works Spinoza: Ethics Wittgenstein: Philosophical Homer: Iliad, Odyssey Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Choephoroe, Eumenides Sophocles: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Co/onus, Antigone Emipides: Hippolytus, Bacchae, Electra Aristophanes: Frogs Investigations Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathustra MATHEMATICS AND NATURAL SCIENCE HISTORY SEMINAR TUTORIAL Chaucer: Canterbwy Tales in Middle English., Shalcespeare: King Lear Aristotle: Poetics Selected English lyric poetry PRECEPT 0 RI AL (examples) Cervantes: Don Qui.xote Joyce: Ulysses Virgil: Aeneid Eliot: Jldiddlemarch Dostoevski: The Brothers SEMINAR Plato: Timaeus* Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Aristotle: Physics* Ptolemy: Almagest* Galileo: Dialogue 011 the Two Chief IVorld Systems* Darwin: The Origin ofSpecies* Freud: Selected Works Herodotus: Histories* SEMINAR Plutarch: "Lycurgus" and "Solon" Plato: Republic A_ristotle: Politics' Machiavelli: The Prince Locke: Second T!·eatise of Civil Government Rousseau: On the Origin and Foundations ofInequality Marx: The Economic and Philosophic !'.1anuscripts of 1844* Euclid: Elements* Lobachevski: The Theo1yof Parallels·' Light: Aristotle, Descartes, Huygens, and Newton Lavoisier: Elements ofChemisay Maxwell: TlzemyoJHeat Bacon and the Principles of Natural Philosophy Galileo: Two New Sciences PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY SEMINAR Genesis Exodus Job Matthew Romans TUTORIAL Aristotle: Nicomac!zean Ethics'' Thon1as Aquinas: Treatise on Law'l- Hobbes: Leviathan,,_ Declaration oflndependence Articles of Confederation U.S. Constitution Hamilton, Jay, and Madison: The Augustine: Confessions* Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologica 4- Kant: Groundwork of the il1etaphysics ofMorals Kierkegaard: Philosophical Fragments TUTORIAL Aug·ustine: The City of God*' Vico: The New Science* Kant: Idea ofa Universal History Herder: Ideas Toward the Philosophy of the History of Mankind* Hegel: Philosophy ofHisto1y ,.

The Delegate Council also meets with members of the college administration to discuss matters of mutual concern and maintains a Student Committee on Instruction, which works with the Faculty Instruction Committee on academic matters. A Food Committee works with the dining hall manager to develop satisfactory dishes for regular and vegetarian menus. The Gadfly, a student newspaper, provides a second medium for expression of opinion to the community as a whole. Controversy ranges from petty to vital; essays, reviews, and news are also included. Energeia, the college's student-run literary magazine, is published annually and contains longer and more polished essays, poetry, and fiction. Students are also welcome to contribute to The Reporter and The St. John's Review, the two official publications of St. John's. Extracurricular organizations at St. John's are generally informal. Some continue year after year, while others spring up and die out as the individual members of the community come and go. Many extracurricular activities grow directly out of the curriculum as students' interests overflow from the classroom. The past years have seen small classes and study groups - some led by students, others by tutors - in harmony, Latin, Chinese, German, the New Testament, Hegel, Leibniz, African-American literature, and selected women writers. Other activities stem from interests independent of the college curriculum, such as astronomy, dance, and the martial arts. A network of PC and Macintosh computers is available for student use in a computer lab. The lab, open 24 hours a day, serves mainly to provide students with free access to word-processing and Internet services.

COLLEGE} THE SANTA FE CAMPUS n the early rg6os the college decided to expand its student body. The Board of Visitors and Governors chose to establish a second campus in the West, rather than sacrifice the virtues of a small campus. St. John's College in Santa Fe was opened in the fall of r964 in New Mexico's capital, founded in r6rn by Spanish colonists. Its population of 65,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the state and of Santa Fe County; with cultural pursuits in the fine arts, museums, and opera; and with archaeological and historical research. Scientists in nearby Los Alamos do research in nuclear physics and related fields. Neighboring institutions of higher education include the Institute of Ameri- {RESIDENCE & can Indian Arts, the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Community College, and the of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Sixty miles to the south, Albuquexque provides the attractions and conveniences of a city of 500 ,ooo people. The campus of 250 acres lies in the southeast quadrant of the two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architecture of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of 7,300 feet, overlooks the city and offers views of the Cerrillos, the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The campus includes a classroom building, a laboratory, a library, a student centeT, a music and fine arts building, an administration building, three clusters of dormitories, and ten furnished, two-bedroom apartments. A conference services dining hall, and student health office are also located in these buildings. Each of the r6 dormitory units on the main campus houses from r2 to r8 students, and the eight dorm suites, which serve as a smaller comof friendsvvithin the college.

There are permanent student representatives to the Financial Aid Committee, Campus Planning Committee, and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees, which concern themselves with such as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the artistic, the academic, and the athletic. Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet, and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine .Arts Building, the darkroom, and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The college's aTt which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists monthly. A student art show is scheduled each year, and awards are given for achievement in pottery, photography, drawing, painting, and making jewelry. The JWoon, a student newspaper, provides students in Santa Fe with a medium through which to express their views about both the college and the world at large. Au Verso, a magazine, �44 {ST.

BOTH CAMPUSES RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES The Charter ofI784 established St. John's College as a non-denominational institution. In its early years, there were some ties with the Protestant Episcopal Church, but these no exist. Many tutors and students attend church or synagogue in town. It is customary for ext:racunicular Bible classes to be conducted by tutors of the college. FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS The college bookstore on each campus has all the books and the students need for their classes. It also maintains a stock of books related to all of the program, and books of more gener- �46 {ST. JOHN'S al interest. It is operated without profit. Both campuses maintain compute:r labo:ratories for student use, providing free access to wo:rd processing and Internet services, including e-maiL PC and Macintosh computers are available in the laboratories and in the library. As suppo:rts for an active social life, the college provides on each campus a coffee shop and a junior common room for the use of all students. In addition, there are smaller, comfortably furnished social rooms in the dormitories and elsewhere on the campus. DORMITORIES The dormitories form small communities within the larger college communities, helping the incoming students to make proper use of the support that other students can give them in their college life. Unmarried students are to live in the college dormitories and to take thei:r meals in the college dining hall, unless they apply in writing to and obtain from either the assistant deans or directors of residential life to live off-ca_mpus.

DINING HALL The dining halls in Annapolis and Santa Fe are operated by catering services. Vegetarian and vegan menus are available. Resident students are required to eat in the dining halL INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES Because both of St. John's campuses are small, cohesive, and communities, there is no separate office designated for international student services. The Office of the Assistant Deans handles all aspects of student life and provides counseling and guidance on an individual basis. In addition, each new student participates in a two-day orientation program at the time of registration. The college's registrars act as advisors to all international students with :respect to visa requirements and related matters. Informal "F-1" clubs have been formed by international students together with other students, faculty, and staff for social events, but, in general, international students find themselves easily participating in the mainstream of campus academic and social life. CAREER SERVICES The Placement Office on each campus offers a wide range of programs and services that include: individual career counseling • information and assistance in applying to graduate and professional schools • information and assistance in applying and for internship opportunities • a.ssistance with resume-writing and other job-search skills • access to a national alumni career network 0 & • pre-law and pre-medical advising • on-campus career workshops and meetings with alumni • information and referrals on current career and job opportunities • community service opportunities • job postings on the St. John's website SL John's remains committed to providing high-quality assistance to students and alumni as they make the transition to activities and pursuits beyond St. John's.

SL John's assumes that students will respect not only the enacted rules, but also the community-accepted canons of decent behavior. In extreme cases, where these canons a:re flouted, the college may require withdrawal of the offending student. The use of illegal drugs and the misuse of legal drugs, including alcohol, are fundamentally incompatible with the program of study at St. John's College.

Education at St. John's is a common pursuit Each student has a considerable effect on the life and learning of the community. Most who consider St. John's examine themselves carefully before applying so that when they do, they are saying to themselves and to the college that they want to engage fully in the life of reason and believe they can take pleasme in it.

St" John's has decided to remain a small college in which the students and faculty are known to each other. Each campus serves about 450 undergraduates" The size of each class is limited on each campus. Most freshman classes are about equally divided between men and women. Classes enter in late August and Januaxy. Occasionally, there may be a class on only one campus. New students are enrolled only as freshmen; typically w3 to r5% of each entering class have done one, two, or even three years of college work elsewhere. These students, despite having good records at other colleges, relinquish their advanced standing to take part in the St" John's program.

Of necessity, however, the amount of financial aid available for each class is limited. It is essential, therefore, that candidates apply for both admission and financial aid early. Applications for financial aid will be processed for approved applicants on a first-come, first-served basis until the available aid is ex_hausted. Therefore, U.S. citizens and permanent residents requesting financial assistance should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FA.FSA) and the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form as early as possible and promptly supply the Financial Aid Office with any additional documentation that may be requested. Non-U.S. citizens requesting financial assistance should file the Foreign Student Financial P.~d Application with the Admissions Office as soon as possible.

WAITING LIST Once the entering classes are full or the available aid is exhausted, a waiting list will be established in the order in which deposits or completed financial aid files from approved applicants are received. Positions in the entering classes and financial aid will then be offered as they become available. Every effort will be made to accommodate those on the waiting list by allowing them to change their campus preference or to enroll in a subsequent class, as noted above. INTERCAMPUS TRANSFER Once enrolled on either campus, students may transfer to the other at the beginning of any academic year, provided their records are in good standing and they notify the Registrar's Office of their intentions by the third Monday in February of the previous year. Those students who wish to apply for financial aid must also file their new financial aid forms by March I . All such transfers are subject to approval by the cleans of both campuses and will be restricted if a very large surplus in one direction or the other could pose for staffing, class sizes, or housing.

The grants are awarded to students who demonstrate substantial need with priority given to Pell Grant recipients. Eligibility for the SEOG is limited to $4,000 per year. FEDERAL WoRKSTUDYPROGRAMs: This federal program permits the college to give part-time employment to students who need such earnings to pursue their course of study. Students may work only a limited number of hours per week while enrolled and while classes are in session. FEDERAL PERKINS LOAN: These loans are made by the college directly to students using funds provided, for the most part, by the federal government. Perkins Loans are made available to students with high financial need. The maximum loan is $4,000 for each year of undergraduate study. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is enrolled at the college. The interest rate during repayment is 5%. There is a provision for deferment if the borrower returns to at least half-time study at another institution. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} Arn} FEDERAL STAFFORD LOAN: The Federal Stafford Loan program enables a student to borrow directly from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association, or other participating lender who is willing to make the educational loan. The maximum amount an undergraduate may borrow is $2,625 for the freshman year, $3,500 for the sophomore year, $5,500 for the junior year, and $5,500 for the senior year. No interest accrues and no payment is required while the borrower is a full-time student. Repayment begins six months after termination of college attendance. For new borrowers, the interest rate is variable, with a maximum rate of 8.25%. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans are available to students who do not meet the financial need criteria for the subsidized Stafford program. Unsubsidized borrowers are charged interest during in-school, grace, and deferment periods. FEDERAL PLUS LOAN: Unsubsidized federal loans are available without regard to financial need to the parents of dependent students. The maximum annual PLUS loan is the student's total estimated cost of education less financial assistance.

Payment of this deposit guarantees a student a place in the class. If the deposit is not paid, the student may have to be placed on a waiting list; students to whom financial aid awards have been made and who do not pay their deposit by the due date will have that award cancelled. The deposit is refundable only in case of withdrawal due to ill health, academic dismissal or (in the case of prospective juniors) failure to enable.

The same percentage will be applied to institutional aid. Documentation of circumstances leading to the withdrawal may be required; for example, a letter from a physician will be :required if a student is unable to complete the semester for medical reasons. RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS If a student who has :received Title IV Funds (federal financial aid) leaves the institution to completion of 60% of the semester, a calculation must be performed to determine the amount of unearned aid that must go back to the Title IV programs. No return of Title IV funds is required after 6o%(approximately 9 weeks of a r6 week semester). The withdrawal date will be established as described in the above The percentage of Title rV aid which is earned by the student (i.e., the amount of federal aid the student is permitted to keep) is the same as the percentage of the semester completed. This percentage is {ST. Arn} computed by dividing the total number of calendar days in the semester (including week-ends but excluding scheduled breaks of more than five days) into the number of calendar days completed by the student. For example, a student enrolled for 14 of II2 days would have earned 12.5% of Title IV aid for the semester. In this example, 87.5% of the Title IV aid would be unearned. The institution is responsible for returning to the federal aid programs the lesser of the amount of unearned Title IV aid or institutional charges that the student incuned multiplied by the unearned aid percentage. Federal regulations specify the order in which unearned funds are to be returned to aid programs. The order is: r. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans 2. Subsidized Stafford Loans 3. Perkins Loans 4. Federal Plus Loans 5. Pell Grants 60 SEOG Federal Work-Study funds are not involved in this determination: A student may keep money earned through the Federal Work- Study Program. If the total amount of unearned aid exceeds the amount the school is required to return, a student may need to return federal grant funds which have been :received for off~campus living expenses, up to 50% of the amount received for the semester. Student loans and Plus Loans received for off-campus expenses do not have to be :returned at the time of Vlrithdrawal but must be repaid in accordance with the terms of the loan. The Financfal Aid Office will notify a student if a return of federal grant funds is required.

At the end of the sophomore year, the dean a_nd the Instruction Committee, with the advice of the tutors, review all of the student's work during the first two years and determine whether or not the student will be allowed to continue, Under some circumstances a student who has not satisfactorily completed a semester's work may be allowed to repeat the work in order to remain at the Students are not eligible for financial assistance (federal o:r institutional) while they are repeating work" Sometimes students are permitted to enter a new semester with the requirement that they meet special conditions during the course of the semesteL In these cases, a student is not repeating work and is deemed to be making satisfactory progress until the dean determines that the conditions have not been met. When the conditions have not been met, the dean, in consultation with the Instruction Committee, decides what further determination is to be made of the case. �- 64 {FEES & FINANCIAL Federal regulations require that an institution set a maximum time frame in which students must complete their educational objectives. St. John's has set eight years as the maximum time frame in which students who are recipients of federal financial aid funds must earn their B.A. degrees. This may be eight years of full- or part-time study. Years in which a student is not enrolled at St. John's will not count in the eight-year limitation. However, years in which a student is repeating work (and thereby not receiving aid) are considered in the determination of years of study. If a student registers for a class in which he or she was previously enrolled for more than three weeks, the class will be considered as repeated work and the student will not be eligible for financial assistance. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the dean in the case of an involuntary withdrawal due to illness or other mitigating circumstances. Students who are permitted by their Don Rag Committees to enter the next semester with incomplete grades on their records are deemed to be making satisfactory progress and are eligible for financial aid. A student who wishes to appeal a decision regarding academic standing should present a letter of appeal to the Dean of the College. The dean will review the situation, taking into account any special circumstances, and determine whether or not the student is making satisfactory progress. VETERANS/DEPENDENTS In compliance with federal and state regulations, St. John's has developed a set of policies on minimum standards of progress for enrolled veterans. I. St. John's will report to the Veterans Administration within 30 days all incidents of official termination or change of status that would affect benefits. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} AID} 2. Minimum acceptable grades of a C average are expected. If a student falls below this average and/ or the student's tutors think there is a serious academic problem, the Don Rag Committee will recommend a consultation with the dean, who may ask the student to leave the college or may place the student on academic probation. During that probation period, support and counseling are available. Failure to meet standards through two semesters of probation must be reported to the V.A. A third semester of certification may not be granted for V.A. benefits without approval of a V.A. counseling psychologist. 3. The V.A. requires that grades be given for all courses undertaken and that all grades be considered in arriving at a grade point average. Should a V.A. enrolled student withdraw from any course at any point subsequent to the midterm point of any semester, a grade ofFwill be assigned. 4. St. John's will report to the V.A. when a student has not successfully completed. 75% of the credits attempted. 5. St. John's will inform students on V.A. benefits of this policy on minimum standards of progress. 6. St. John's will inform all veterans an dependents that prior academic ere credentials from post-seconda schools will be evaluated, but pri credits are not applicable to t all-required degree program at the c lege. However, liberal arts credits p viously earned will be deducted fro the training time eligibility offered the Veterans Administration tot transferring student. 65 BIBLIOGRAPHY BooKs AsouT LIBERAL EDUCATION and CHARLES VAN to Read a Book, Simon and ADLER, MORTIMER]., DOREN: How and MILTON ;MAYER: The Revolution in Education, µuiversity of Chicago Press, r958.

And it is the ultimate aim of the program that the habits of thought and discussion thus students should continue with them throughout their lives. at St. John's takes the form of a discussion. The conversational methods of the seminar are carried over into the tutorials. As much as possible, the actual instruction in all classes and laboratories is made to depend on the and initiative of the students. The tutors function as guides, more intent on u 0 c~iuu.F', students them than upon them their own understandings. St. John's seeks to restore the true meaning of a liberal arts education. The primary function of the liberal arts has always been to bring about an awareness of the forms that are embodied in combinations of words and in numbers so that become means of understanding. Traditionally, the liberal arts were seven in number: grammar, - the arts of language; and ai1d In more terms, the liberal arts to light vvhat is involved in the use of words and numbers in all k.Inds of discursive thought, in analyzing, speaking, and and :tlso in measurand demonstrating.

A conceived liberal arts curriculum cannot avoid at these most far-reaching of all human goals. �8 {THE CURRICULUM} THE SEMINAR he heart of the curriculum is the seminar - a discussion of assigned readings from the books of the program. In each seminar seventeen to twentyone students work with two members of the faculty who serve as leaders. The g:roup meets twice a week, on Monday and Thursday evenings, from eight until ten or sometimes well beyond if the under discussion has aroused a sustained and lively conversation. The assignment for each seminar amounts, on the average, to a:round pages of but may be much shorter if the text happens to be particularly difficult. The seminar begins with a asked by one of the leaders. Thereafter the seminar consists of student discussion. Students talk with one another, not to the leaders. They do not raise their hands for to be heard, but enter the discussion or owithdraw from it at •Nill. The resulting informality is ternth e use of formal modes of address. Once underway, the seminar may take many forms. It may range from the most to the most gene:raL The reading of Thucydides, for example, is almost certain to elicit a discussion of war and and to to the surface the students' and fears about the wisdom or error of national policies. Homer and Dante prompt reflections on human virtues and vices and on humanity's ultimate fate. Sometimes a seminar will devote all its time to an interpretation of the assigned reading, staying close to the text; at other times the talk may range widely over suggested by the reading, but bearing only indirectly on the text itself in the minds of the In the coffee shop after seminar, students from different groups compare the points made in their discussions. CU.TPCC,An Except for the requirements of common courtesy, there are only two rules: first, all opinions must be heard and explored, however sharply they may clash; second, every opinion must be supported argument - an unsupported opinion does not count. In a freshman seminar the students may tend to express their opinions with little regard for their relevance to the or their relation to the opinions of others. m their interplay with one another, the students learn to proceed with care, keeping to the topic and t:rying to uncover the meanings of the terms they use. They learn, gradually also, that to some extent the p:rocedure of the seminar varies with the kind of reading under study; poetry is not philosophy, and it can require a different . Such progress in learning together may be crovvned by sudden insights on the part of a few of the seminar members, or occasions when the seminar as a whole achieves illumination. The course of the discussion cannot be fixed in advance; it is determined rather by the necessity of the argument," of the crucial issues, or of seeking foundations upon which a train of reasoning can be pursued. The argument does not necessarily lead to the answer to a question. More often than not the question :remains open with certain alternatives clearly outlined. The progress of the seminar is not particularly smooth; the discussion may sometimes branch off and entangle itself in irrelevant difficulties. Only gradually can the logical rigor of an argument emerge within the sequence of analogies and other imaginative deVlces by which the discussion is kept alive. A seminar may also degenerate into xather empty talk, without being able for some time to extricate itself from such a course. At its best, the seminar may reach insights far beyond the initial views held by any of its members. {ST. JOHN'S Under these circumstances, the primary role of the leaders is not to give information, nor is it to produce the "right" It is to guide CUC•vUoo••UH. to keep it moving, to raise and to help the students in every way possible to understand the author, the issues, and themselves. The most useful instrument for this purpose is the question; perhaps the most useful device of all is the question But the leaders may also take a definite and stand and enter directly into the argiclment. If they do so, however, they can eiqiect no consideration. Reason is the only recognized authority. ConsequentaJI opinions must be defended with reason, and any single opinion can only by general consent. The aim is always COLLEGE} 9 to develop the students' powers of reason and understanding, and to help them arrive at intelligent opinions of their own. Every freshman, and submits an essay 011 some theme suggested by the seminar readings. In Santa Fe, an essay is submitted each semester; in Annapolis, each year. The essay is not a research paper with extensive footnotes and a bibliography, but rather an attempt on the part of the students to set out in writing, as clearly as they can, their own thoughts on some aspect of the liberal arts. The essay in the second semester becomes the center of their final oral examinations. For sophomores the annual essay holds a position of special importance: it becomes the major part of the process called enabling (see page 3r). �{THE CURRICULUM} THE PRECEPTORIAL F or about seven to eight weeks in the middle of the year the seminars of the junior and senior classes are replaced by preceptorials. These are small groups of students engaged in the study of one book, or in exploration of one subject through several books. Students are usually given a choice of sixteen to twenty preceptorials on books or subjects of particular interest to the tutors who offer them. Students may suggest a topic and invite a tutor to study it with them. Although many preceptorials study one of the books of the seminar list, or a theme suggested by the program, some preceptorials may deal with books and themes the students would not otherwise encounter. There are generally not more than ten students in a preceptorial. Guided by a tutor, they proceed at a pace more leisurely than that permitted by the seminar. Usually, the students' work is completed by the writing of papers, which may be read in draft to the preceptorial and criticized by the other members. {ST.

THE TUTORIALS T he seminar cannot suffice as the only setting for liberal education. By its very nature, the seminar does not give the student an opportunity to cultivate the habits of methodical and careful study and of persistently precise discussion and writing. Other learning devices must therefore support it; these are the tutorials in language, mathematics, and music. For each of four years, a student attends one language and one mathematics tutorial three times a week. Sophomores also attend a music tutorial. In the tutorials, around a table, about thirteen to sixteen students study and learn together under the direct guidance and instruction of a tutor. The tutorial provides conditions for a small group to work together toward a careful analysis, often through translation or demonstration, of an important work. As in the seminar, students talk freely with one another and with the tutor, but the discussion focuses sharply on assigned tasks. There are opportunities for all students to contribute their measure of instruction and '.·<'insight to their fellows. Other tutors often 1 attend, seeking to learn about a particular ' :\'' subject that they may later teach. Writing assignments are normally .made in all classes: mathematics, music, )µid laboratory sections, as well as in lanage tutorials. The students are thus ed upon continually to articulate and anize their thinking in both the writand spoken forms. · ation in higher education has led found neglect oflanguage skills. As is separated from country by the 'er oflanguage, so profession is sepafrom profession by technical jargon. a:rily, the language tutorial attempts edy this condition by training in the 11 means of precise communication. In a broad sense, it may be thought of as a present-day restoration of the traditional studies of grammar, rhetoric, and logic. The tutorial seeks to foster an intelligent and active grasp of the relations between language on the one hand and thought and imagination on the other. To do this, it must direct attention to the fundamental ways in which words can be put together; to the modes of signifying things; to the varied.i:;onnotations and ambiguities of terms; to the role of metaphors, analogies and images; and to the logical relations that connect propositions. The study of foreign languages (Greek in the first and second years, and French in the third and fourth years) provides an effective means to these ends. By studying these languages, by translating from them into English, and by comparing them with each other and with English, the students learn something of the nature of languages in general and of their own in particular. During the four years, then, they study language as the discourse of reason, as the articulation of experience, and as the medium of the art of poetry; and both directly and indirectly, through the intermediary of foreign tongues, they study their own language. They discover the resources of articulate speech and learn the rules that must govern it if it is to be clear, consistent and effective - if it is to be adequate and persuasive. In the beginning, the emphasis is on the forms of words, the grammatical constructions, and the vocabulary of each language being studied. Thus the rapid reading for the seminar, with its attention to the large outlines and to the general trend and development of the central idea, is supplemented and corrected by a more precise and analytical study, one that is concerned with particular details and shades of meaning and with the abstract logical structure and rhetorical pattern of a given work. Those are matters �12 {THE CURRICULUM} that do not come directly into seminar discussions. The students' concern with them in the language tutorial improves all their reading, for whatever immediate end, deepens and enriches their understanding, and increases their ability to think clearly and to speak well. A secondary purpose of the language tutorial is support of the seminar. Some of the works read for seminar are also studied in the tutorial, free from the veil of ready-made translation. Issues are brought to the fore that might otherwise have been neglected, and they can be discussed ·with greater than the seminar permits. This habit of precision, in its turn, can then become more common in seminar. The language tutorial cannot and should not aim at mastery of the foreign language, but the students can reasonably expect to obtain a knowledge of grammatical forms and a grasp of the peculiar qualities of the languages that they study. To experience the individuality of another language is to extend the boundaries of one's sensibility. The choice of foreign languages is in part dictated by the seminar reading schedule and is in part arbitrary. Latin and German might be used without changing the pattern and aims of the tutorial. The first year of Greek, however, goes well with the freshman seminar and mathematics tutorial, and the continuance of Greek into the second year advances the work of the first. The ends with and discussion of works by Shakespeare, Donne, and other English poets. The French of the third year begins with a brief, intensive study of French grammar followed by the reading of a French text. The aim here is economical progress toward facility in the reading of French. Students already fluent in French may be exempted from these early stages. Then follows examination of the form and content of French prose selections. Discussions of both form and content are related to appropriate writing assignments, including exercises in translation in which the students attempt to match in their own tongue the excellence of their models. In the second semester a play is read - Racine's Phaedre. The principal activity of the fourth year is the reading of French prose and poetry, including a number of poems from Baudelaire's Fleurs du JWal. Its immediate object is the understanding and of each poem in its parts and as a whole. It also provides a substantial basis for discussion of the art of poetry and clarification of the relation of that art to the traditional liberal arts of language. \Vriting assignments include exercises in translation more ambitious than those attempted in the third year. The year ends with analysis and discussion of modern British and American poets, such as T. S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas, W. B. Yeats, and Wallace Stevens. {ST. JOHN'S THE MATHEMATICS TUTORIAL Mathematics is a vital part of education; that this is true or ought to be is suggested the word itself, for it is derived from a Greek word meaning "to learn." It is then, that students should come to dislike mathematics or to think of themselves as unmathernatical. It is equally regrettable that competent mathematicians are often unaware of the philosophical upon which mathematical equations and formulas are based. Mathematics at SL John's is studied as a liberal <>.rt, not separated from what have come to be called the humanities. When mathematics is taught at an unhurried pace, in an atmosphere of reflective inquiry, and from treatises chosen not for their matter but also for their elegance and imagination, as it is at St. John's, mathematics becomes not only the most readily learnable liberal art but also one that access to others and analogies with them. Theie are tivo main reasons for ing mathematics. First, it pervades our modern world, perhaps even defines it. 'I11erefore anyone who means to criticize or to resist or cooperate with this world, not only must have some familiarity with the mathematical methods which The second main reason for studying concerns the mathematics tutorial more specifically. Since mathehas, as its name implies, a particuclose connection with the human for learning, its study is especialin helping students to think what it means to come to know COLLEGE} 13 To prepare themselves for such reflection, students study artfully composed mathematical treatises, demonstrate propositions at the blackboard, and solve problems. By doing this over four years, they learn a good deal of mathematics and they gain noticeably in rigor of thought, nimbleness of ima~nation, and elegance of expression. But while they are practicing the art of mathematics in all its rigor, they are continually encouraged to reflect on their own activity. Scores of questions, of which the following are examples, are raised during the four years: "Why and how do mathematical proofs carry such conviction? What is a mathematical system and what are its pToper beginnings and ends? "What is the relation of logic to mathematics? What do "better" and "worse," "ugly" and "beautiful" signify in mathematics? Do mathematical symbols constltute a language? Are there "mathematical How might the discoverer of a particular theorem have come to see it? By means of such which grow out of the work and which excite the intellect and the imagination at the same time, a discussion is initiated in the mathematics tutorial that is easily and often carried over into the larger sphere of the seminar. The students begin with the Elements of Euclid. Using Euclid's organization of the mathematical discoveries of his cessors, the students gain a notion of deductive science and of a mathematical system in general; they become acquainted with one view of mathematical objects - its central expression found in the theory of ratios - which is buried under the foundations of modern mathematics. After Euclid, they begin the study of Ptolemy's Almagest, centering their attention on the of "hypotheses" constructed to "save the appearances" in the heavens. That the tutorial reads Ptolemy indicates the difference between �14 {THE {ST.

The of music at St. John's is not directed toward performance, but toward an understanding of the of music. The ancients accorded music a place among the liberal arts because understood it as one of the essential functions of the mind, associated with the mind's power to grasp number and measure. The liberal music was based, for them, on the ratios among whole numbers, In , the music program at St. John's aims at the once a week to and its notation. takes place the second semester the students some of the great choral sophomore year, a tutorial meets three times a week. Besides the singing, the music tutorial :reflects two different but complementary aspects of music. On the one hand, music is intimately related to language, rhetoiic, and poetry. On the other, it is a unique and self-sufficient art, which has its roots in nature. real textbooks. In the second semester, at least one analyzed Seminars on great works of music are included as part of the regular seminar schedule. Instead of reading a text, students listen to recordings of a composition and familiarize themselves with its score before the seminar meets. G1oup discussion of a work of music, as of a book, facilitates and enriches the understanding of it" �16 {THE {ST. CURRICULUM} THE LABORATORY hree hundred years ago, algebra and the arts of analytic geometry were introduced into European thought, mainly by Rene Descartes. This was one of the great intellectual revolutions in recorded history, paralleling and in part determining the other great revolutions in industry, morals, and religion. It has redefined and transformed our whole natural and cultural world. It is a focal point of the Sc John's program and one that the college takes care to emphasize. There is scarcely an item in the curriculum that does not bear upon it. The last t-wo years of the program exhibit the far-reaching that flow from it, and these could not be appreciated without the first two years, which cover the Homer to Descartes. .Modern mathematics has made possible the of natural phenomena on an immense scale and has prnvided the basis for what is known to us as the laboratory. The intellectual tools of the laboratory are the consequence of the vast of conceived the great thinkers of the seventeenth century. They are based on a mathematical tion of the universe, which transforms the universe into a great book written in mathematical characters. Liberal is concerned ·with the artifices of the human mind and hand that us to relate our to our understanding.

All of this is sup- JOHN'S COLLEGE} 17 by the mathematics tutorials, which provide the necessary understanding of mathematical techniques, The task, however, is not to cover exhaustively the various scientific disciplines, to bring the student up to date in them, or to engage in specialized research. It is rather to make the student experience and understand the significance of science as a human involving fundamental assumptions and a variety of skills. The college does not subscribe to the sharp separation of scientific studies from the humanities, as if were distinct and autonomous domains of learning. There need not be "two cultures." Different fields of exploration reqnire different methods and techniques, but the integrity of scientific pursuits sten1s from sources common to all intellectual lifeo Tx-rn ORGANIZATION OF THE LABORATORY WORK The program is mined three considerations relevant to the liberalization of the of science: (I) The scheduled experimental work must be combined with a full and free discussion of the instruments and uH,'P'"o involved in it. (2) The content of the work should be so chosen as to enable the students to trace a scientific discipline to its roots in assumption, and observation. Thus certain integrated wholes of subject matters a.re to be selected as problems in which the roles of theory and experimentation can be distinguished through critical study. (3) The schedule of work should give opportunity for leisurely but intensive experimentation. The students must have time to satisfy themselves as to the degree of accuracy their instruments permit, to analyze procedures for sources of error, to consider alternative methods, and on occasion to repeat an entire experiment. Only thus can they come to a matnre understanding of the sciences called teen to suteen students under the guidance of a tutor, with the help of more advanced stndents as assis- ,,v,,,,uvu session may be used and discussion of theory, or for both, as the the discuss10n of a classic paper or other related to the at hand; of Aristotle, Huygens, Newton, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr are among those regularly used in this way. In all the work of the laboratory and in the laboratory manuals written at the college, the pmpose is to achieve an intimate mixture of critical discussion and �18 {THE LABORATORY TOPICS THE FIRST YEAR The general topics of study have been chosen from elementary physical and biological sciences. The sequence of study may be outlined as follows: The laboratory begins with twelve weeks devoted to topics in observational biology: classification of types, anatomical structure, cells and their aggregation and differentiation, and embryological development. Close observation by the naked eye or with microscopes is accompanied by constant theoretical interpretation, based on reading important works of biological scientists. Here the student confronts organisms as self-moving entities with properties of wholeness, intimately dependent on, yet distinct from, the surroundingworld. The freshman laboratory next turns to the nonliving in a search for fundamental laws. Archimedes on the lever and on hydrostatics is studied, then the laws of equilibrium of gases, temperature, and ISTYEAR 12 20 weeks: Observational biology weeks: Studies of matter and measurement, leading to the atomic theory of chemistry -~-~r.ix~~ ..............

CURRICULUM} JOHN'S calorimetry are taken up, experimentally and in discussion of the relevant theories. These topics lead into an examination of the phenomena, largely chemical, and the arguments that are involved in the theory that matter is composed of discrete particles. The student compares the views of Aristotle and Lavoisier on the nature of substance and substantial change, and goes on to study and discuss important original texts bearing on the development of the atomic-molecular theory. Experiments are performed to help with the understanding of the texts and the physical and chemical transformation of which they speak. The year's work culminates in the resolution of the problem of determining atomic weights and in an examination of some consequences of this ·determination. T1lE THIRD YEAR The third-year laboratory deals with topics common to a number of the traditional ijivisions of physics, such as mechanics, ·hptics, and electromagnetism. Through~ut the year, experimentation is accompabled by the reading of important original zwrltings by Galileo, Descartes, Huygens, !Newton, Leibniz, Carnot, and Maxwell . .be mathematical tools of physics are to ~be put to work in the laboratory at the ~ame time that their rigorous develop:~ent is pursued in the mathematics tuto• As the tools of the calculus become lable, the emphasis shifts from a ect, qualitative description of force, eleration, work, energy, and potential ds to their reformulation in terms of • ative and integral; at the same time, physical concepts serve to illustrate mathematical ideas. The concepts of hanics are to be used to formulate native theories of light - corpuscular COLLEGE} 19 and wave - and the success of either theory in accounting for optical phenomena is examined. The fundamental phenomena of electricity and magnetism are studied observationally and experimentally, and formulated in mathematical terms. The final and culminating topic of the year is Maxwell's derivation of an electromagnetic theory of light. THE FOURTH YEAR In many ways, the work of the senior year is a return to questions the students first confronted as freshmen. During the first ten weeks, the senior laboratory takes up anew the theory of atomism - but the atom itself has become the object of study. Prepared by work with electrical phenomena, the student can focus on the questions of atomic stability that led to the revolutionary quantum hypothesis of Bohr and the wave mechanics of de Broglie and Schrodinger. Through a sequence of historic scientific papers and related experiments, the concepts of particle and wave, of discreteness and continuity, gain new meaning. Following the course of thought in Schrodinger's What is Life?, the senior laboratory then turns or returns to biologic al topics, and first to genetics, to Mendel's theory of heredity and its development through the experimentation and interpretation by T. H. Morgan and his associates. The results of laboratory studies of bacteria populations are considered from the standpoint of their evolutionary significance in the papers of Hardt and of Luria and Delbruck. Next, fundamental papers leading to present-day molecular biology - for instance by Beadle and Tatum, Watson and Crick, Jacob and Monod - are studied. �20 {THE CURRICULUM} THE FORMAL LECTURE T he curriculum as described so far calls for student participation at every active stage of the work. On Friday evenings, however, a different form of instruction occurs. The formal lecture is the occasion when the students have an opportunity to listen steadily and attentively. The subject may be closely connected with seminar readings or it may open up a new field of interest and test the students' readiness to absorb new information and to follow arguments in unfamiliar fields: in anthropology or space science, in painting or architecture. The lecturers are often visiting scholars, but not infrequently they are members of the St. John's faculty. Visitors may be from the academic world or from the arena of public affairs; they may be poets or artists. Sometimes a concert replaces a lecture. The lecture is followed by a discussion. Here the lecturers submit themselves to prolonged questioning by the students, with the faculty participating. Often the discussion turns into a seminar. Thus the formal lecture serves two purposes: It inculcates in the students the habit of listening and following the exposition of a subject they may not be familiar with, and it also provides them an opportunity, in the discussion period, to exercise their dialectical skills in a setting very different from the classroom. It is here that they can test the degree of their understanding and the applicability of what they have learned. The lectures range through a variety of subjects. Sometimes the students are confronted with opposing views on a given subject. Some of the lectures have immediate repercussions in the seminars and tutorials. Others may have a lasting effect on the direction that students' work takes within the framework of the program. {ST.

The advai.-itage of this fox students is that they are under the guidance of active learners who will not parry their far-ranging questions with the that these matters are handled in another department. There are no departments! The advantage of this for tutors is that they are involved with a variety of works of such richness that they are tempted to strive for greater comprehension of them. Some tutors do find rime to write articles and books, but their first duty is to prepare themselves to teach the St. John's program. This is necessarily demanding because no full-time tutor is confined to a single part of the program. They are, and have to be, teaching members of a seminar and of either t\Aro tutorials or of one tutmial and a section, and are continually teaching their colleagues and learnfrom them. It is important that tutors have time to probe more into the foundations and wider contexts of what is studied at St. John's than the for classes usually allows. In order to avoid staleness and the ever-present danger of succumbing to routine performance, they are granted sabbatical leaves to allow for leisure and serious Between sabbatical leaves, faculty study groups are set up, Leaders of such groups are son-1etimes relieved of part of their teaching duties. The groups engage in a thorough study and exploration of a chosen themselves or the Instruction Committee of the Scholars from other institutions may join the group for certain peTiods. Although the under may not be related to the St. John's curriculum, the work of the study groups opens new for at St. John's. �{THE 28 ACADEMIC THE LIBRARY he books chosen for study at SL John's are collected in the best editions and translations that can be obtained" These works form the basis of the collection, with additional volumes servrng as sources and representative wmks in the fields of learning. are most extensive in philosoliterature, and the history of science. also newspapers and ivLu<,dJ.o. audio-visual materials, multiof some seminar readings, and comother smaller collections" A mittee assists the librarians with collection clPuPllr.-c,rnPn7 The Greenfield spaces as •Nell as computer ternnnals Wlth access to the , other JOHN'S SCHEDULES THE INSTRUCTION COMMITTEE he Instruction Committee is a committee of tutors responsible for advising the deans on all matters of instruction" It also advises the presidents on appointments to the The committee consists of the deans and twelve tutors, six elected the tutors on each campus of the college; the sit with the Instruction Committee ex officio" The deans preside over the Instruction Committee meetings on their own campus; the members of the committee on each campus constitute the Instruction Committee for that campus and meet regularly throughout the year.

The curriculum is the equivalent of approximately one hundred thirty-two semester hours. GRADUATE STUDY AND CAREERS AFTER ST. JOHN'S I n a world in which careers and work environments are changing rapidly, a rigorous, broadly based liberal arts education is recognized increasingly as perhaps the best long-term career preparation. Research studies in business and the professions and recent national commission reports have reaffirmed the value of the liberal arts in inculcating broadly applicable skills, such as analytical and problem solving abilities, written and oral communications skills, and the ability to adapt to diverse and changing circumstances. Many St. John's alumni, for example, have demonstrated an unusual ability to master complex and unfamiliar tasks and bodies of knowledge, and to forge creative and satisfying careers. St. John's graduates follow a wide variety of career paths. Surveys of alumni have yielded the following statistics: • 20.8% are in business or business-related occupations; • r6.g3 are in teaching or educational administration; about two-thirds of these work in colleges or universities; {ST. ORDER} • r6. 7% are in communications or the arts; • 9% work in the field oflaw, with most in private practice or the judiciary; • 7.6% work in computers/sciences; • 7.5% work in the health professions, mainly as physicians; • 63 work in social services, including counseling, psychology, social work, and the ministry. • r5.5% choose other fields, including urban planning, skilled craftsmanship, foreign service/Peace Corps, government service, veterinary medicine, homemaking, farming, armed forces, and conservation/ecology. More than 75% of St. John's graduates pursue formal education beyond the baccalaureate level, with close to 30% of each graduating class pursuing advanced studies at leading universities across the country. St. John's students consistently score substantially above the national averages on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Most fields of study may be entered directly from St. John's. Some of the more highly technical fields may require additional preparation, either prior to or during the first year of graduate study. St. John's has developed special programs and relationships with specific graduate and professional schools to help entry into fields such as medicine, business, engineering, and teaching. THE ST. JoHN's DEGREE, MASTER OF ARTS Tutors who have completed two years of teaching at St. John's may receive a master's degree in liberal arts. They must petition the Instruction Committee fol' permission to present themselves as can"' didates for the degree. They must then. submit a thesis on a topic approved by Instruction Committee and stand for oral examination upon it. The topic m have some bearing on the understan · and practice of the liberal arts. JOHN'S COLLEGE} 33 THE GRADUATE INSTITUTE IN LIBERAL EDUCATION T he Graduate Institute at St. John's College offers a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts on both campuses and a Master of Arts in Eastern Classics on the Santa Fe campus. These programs, modeled on that of the undergraduate college, have two distinctive features: the curriculum consists exclusively of classic or "great" books used as texts, and all classes are conducted as small group discussions. Applications are encouraged from pollege graduates with diverse educationand cultural backgrounds and with vard interests and professions. EGREE OF MASTER OF RTS IN LIBERAL ARTS he aim of the program is to help students formulate and respond to fundamental questions about themselves and their world by reading and disg with others the great books of the n tradition. The readings are orgato five segments: Literature, Polid Society, Philosophy and Theolothematics and Natural Science, and . ·Students must complete four of 've segments to earn the Master of Liberal Arts degree (thirty-six er credit hours). These segments ogether constitute a closely interogram of study. s are small and based on discusssic texts, but differ in signifiThe heart of the curriculum is in which fourteen to twentyengage in a discussion inititor's question about the · g. In the tutorial, a slightly of students (twelve to sixmore intensively on smaller , either mathematical proofs, short literary texts, or dense arguments of philosophy or political theory. The preceptorial, with an even smaller number of students (eight to twelve), engages in the study of a single book or topic and requires that students write a substantial paper. Faculty members are called tutors, not professors, and they lead classes by posing questions and guiding the discussion, rather than by lecturing in their field of expertise. At least two segments are offered in the sixteen-week fall and spring terms, and usually four are offered in the eight-week summer term. In the fall and spring terms, classes meet only two days a week, in the late afternoons and evenings, making it possible for students who work to participate. During the summer, classes meet twice as often. Schedules vary somewhat between the two campuses. Students may matriculate in any of the three terms, and take segments in any order compatible with the sequence of offerings. An optional master's essay may be written by students who have completed at least two terms. In recent years, approximately sixty to eighty students have been enrolled on each campus during each session. The program leading to the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts is accredited by the North Central and the Middle States Associations of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and is approved for teacher recertification by the New Mexico and Maryland State Boards of Education. �34 35 THE LIBERAL ARTS CURRICULUM*'·' DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN EASTERN CLASSICS LITERATURE PRECEPTORIAL (examples) p RE C E PT 0 R JAL (examples) SEMINAR Montesquieu: The Spirit of the Laws Shalcespeare: The history plays Smith: The Wealth ofNations Rousseau: Emile Hegel: The Philosophy ofRight Aristotle: On the Soul Heidegger: Selected Works Spinoza: Ethics Wittgenstein: Philosophical Homer: Iliad, Odyssey Aeschylus: Agamemnon, Choephoroe, Eumenides Sophocles: Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Co/onus, Antigone Emipides: Hippolytus, Bacchae, Electra Aristophanes: Frogs Investigations Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathustra MATHEMATICS AND NATURAL SCIENCE HISTORY SEMINAR TUTORIAL Chaucer: Canterbwy Tales in Middle English., Shalcespeare: King Lear Aristotle: Poetics Selected English lyric poetry PRECEPT 0 RI AL (examples) Cervantes: Don Qui.xote Joyce: Ulysses Virgil: Aeneid Eliot: Jldiddlemarch Dostoevski: The Brothers SEMINAR Plato: Timaeus* Lucretius: On the Nature of Things Aristotle: Physics* Ptolemy: Almagest* Galileo: Dialogue 011 the Two Chief IVorld Systems* Darwin: The Origin ofSpecies* Freud: Selected Works Herodotus: Histories* SEMINAR Plutarch: "Lycurgus" and "Solon" Plato: Republic A_ristotle: Politics' Machiavelli: The Prince Locke: Second T!·eatise of Civil Government Rousseau: On the Origin and Foundations ofInequality Marx: The Economic and Philosophic !'.1anuscripts of 1844* Euclid: Elements* Lobachevski: The Theo1yof Parallels·' Light: Aristotle, Descartes, Huygens, and Newton Lavoisier: Elements ofChemisay Maxwell: TlzemyoJHeat Bacon and the Principles of Natural Philosophy Galileo: Two New Sciences PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY SEMINAR Genesis Exodus Job Matthew Romans TUTORIAL Aristotle: Nicomac!zean Ethics'' Thon1as Aquinas: Treatise on Law'l- Hobbes: Leviathan,,_ Declaration oflndependence Articles of Confederation U.S. Constitution Hamilton, Jay, and Madison: The Augustine: Confessions* Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologica 4- Kant: Groundwork of the il1etaphysics ofMorals Kierkegaard: Philosophical Fragments TUTORIAL Aug·ustine: The City of God*' Vico: The New Science* Kant: Idea ofa Universal History Herder: Ideas Toward the Philosophy of the History of Mankind* Hegel: Philosophy ofHisto1y ,.

The program includes a series of seminars, preceptorials, and a language tutorial rn either Sanskrit or classical Chinese.

Such activities in Annapolis are sponsored both by the Director of Athletics and by the Student Polity. In Santa Fe are organized by the Student Activities Office (SAO), which is responsible for ,pl'oviding instruction and equipment. ince its founding as King William's School in r696, St. John's has been situated in the colonial seaport town of Annapolis, capital of the State Maryland. Its population of 50,000 le is occupied principally with the ernment of the state and of Anne ndel County; with the training of shipmen at the United States Naval demy; with the fish, crab, and oyster stry; and with the sailing and recreactivities of the Chesapeake Bay. e campus of thirty-six acres lies in istoric district, adjoining College k, one block from the State House oss the street from the Naval Acadyard.

The Delegate Council also meets with members of the college administration to discuss matters of mutual concern and maintains a Student Committee on Instruction, which works with the Faculty Instruction Committee on academic matters. A Food Committee works with the dining hall manager to develop satisfactory dishes for regular and vegetarian menus. The Gadfly, a student newspaper, provides a second medium for expression of opinion to the community as a whole. Controversy ranges from petty to vital; essays, reviews, and news are also included. Energeia, the college's student-run literary magazine, is published annually and contains longer and more polished essays, poetry, and fiction. Students are also welcome to contribute to The Reporter and The St. John's Review, the two official publications of St. John's. Extracurricular organizations at St. John's are generally informal. Some continue year after year, while others spring up and die out as the individual members of the community come and go. Many extracurricular activities grow directly out of the curriculum as students' interests overflow from the classroom. The past years have seen small classes and study groups - some led by students, others by tutors - in harmony, Latin, Chinese, German, the New Testament, Hegel, Leibniz, African-American literature, and selected women writers. Other activities stem from interests independent of the college curriculum, such as astronomy, dance, and the martial arts. A network of PC and Macintosh computers is available for student use in a computer lab. The lab, open 24 hours a day, serves mainly to provide students with free access to word-processing and Internet services.

COLLEGE} THE SANTA FE CAMPUS n the early rg6os the college decided to expand its student body. The Board of Visitors and Governors chose to establish a second campus in the West, rather than sacrifice the virtues of a small campus. St. John's College in Santa Fe was opened in the fall of r964 in New Mexico's capital, founded in r6rn by Spanish colonists. Its population of 65,000 people is occupied principally with the government of the state and of Santa Fe County; with cultural pursuits in the fine arts, museums, and opera; and with archaeological and historical research. Scientists in nearby Los Alamos do research in nuclear physics and related fields. Neighboring institutions of higher education include the Institute of Ameri- {RESIDENCE & can Indian Arts, the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe Community College, and the of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Sixty miles to the south, Albuquexque provides the attractions and conveniences of a city of 500 ,ooo people. The campus of 250 acres lies in the southeast quadrant of the two miles from the historic Santa Fe Plaza and the Palace of the Governors. The architecture of the Santa Fe campus reflects the territorial style introduced in the state during the last century. The campus, at an elevation of 7,300 feet, overlooks the city and offers views of the Cerrillos, the Jemez, the Ortiz y Pino and the Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. The campus includes a classroom building, a laboratory, a library, a student centeT, a music and fine arts building, an administration building, three clusters of dormitories, and ten furnished, two-bedroom apartments. A conference services dining hall, and student health office are also located in these buildings. Each of the r6 dormitory units on the main campus houses from r2 to r8 students, and the eight dorm suites, which serve as a smaller comof friendsvvithin the college. More '.than half the rooms are singles. The othe:ts are designed in suites of two or three each student with the of his own quarters and, at the time, close companionship with a . ..,."uvw student.

There are permanent student representatives to the Financial Aid Committee, Campus Planning Committee, and the Board of Visitors and Governors. Students also belong to advisory committees, which concern themselves with such as Friday night lectures or the food service. Santa Fe students and faculty have initiated a wide variety of extracurricular activities, including the artistic, the academic, and the athletic. Artistic expression is encouraged by extracurricular classes in drawing, painting, photography, pottery, weaving, ballet, and modern dance. The art studio in the Fine .Arts Building, the darkroom, and the pottery studio provide appropriate settings for these activities. The college's aTt which is open to the public, has a new show by professional artists monthly.

BOTH CAMPUSES RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES The Charter ofI784 established St. John's College as a non-denominational institution. In its early years, there were some ties with the Protestant Episcopal Church, but these no exist. Many tutors and students attend church or synagogue in town. It is customary for ext:racunicular Bible classes to be conducted by tutors of the college. FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS The college bookstore on each campus has all the books and the students need for their classes. It also maintains a stock of books related to all of the program, and books of more gener- �46 {ST. JOHN'S al interest. It is operated without profit. Both campuses maintain compute:r labo:ratories for student use, providing free access to wo:rd processing and Internet services, including e-maiL PC and Macintosh computers are available in the laboratories and in the library. As suppo:rts for an active social life, the college provides on each campus a coffee shop and a junior common room for the use of all students. In addition, there are smaller, comfortably furnished social rooms in the dormitories and elsewhere on the campus. DORMITORIES The dormitories form small communities within the larger college communities, helping the incoming students to make proper use of the support that other students can give them in their college life. Unmarried students are to live in the college dormitories and to take thei:r meals in the college dining hall, unless they apply in writing to and obtain from either the assistant deans or directors of residential life to live off-ca_mpus.

DINING HALL The dining halls in Annapolis and Santa Fe are operated by catering services. Vegetarian and vegan menus are available. Resident students are required to eat in the dining halL INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SERVICES Because both of St. John's campuses are small, cohesive, and communities, there is no separate office designated for international student services. The Office of the Assistant Deans handles all aspects of student life and provides counseling and guidance on an individual basis. In addition, each new student participates in a two-day orientation program at the time of registration. The college's registrars act as advisors to all international students with :respect to visa requirements and related matters. Informal "F-1" clubs have been formed by international students together with other students, faculty, and staff for social events, but, in general, international students find themselves easily participating in the mainstream of campus academic and social life.

SL John's assumes that students will respect not only the enacted rules, but also the community-accepted canons of decent behavior. In extreme cases, where these canons a:re flouted, the college may require withdrawal of the offending student. The use of illegal drugs and the misuse of legal drugs, including alcohol, are fundamentally incompatible with the program of study at St. John's College.

Education at St. John's is a common pursuit Each student has a considerable effect on the life and learning of the community. Most who consider St. John's examine themselves carefully before applying so that when they do, they are saying to themselves and to the college that they want to engage fully in the life of reason and believe they can take pleasme in it.

St" John's has decided to remain a small college in which the students and faculty are known to each other. Each campus serves about 450 undergraduates" The size of each class is limited on each campus. Most freshman classes are about equally divided between men and women. Classes enter in late August and Januaxy. Occasionally, there may be a class on only one campus. New students are enrolled only as freshmen; typically w3 to r5% of each entering class have done one, two, or even three years of college work elsewhere. These students, despite having good records at other colleges, relinquish their advanced standing to take part in the St" John's program.

Of necessity, however, the amount of financial aid available for each class is limited. It is essential, therefore, that candidates apply for both admission and financial aid early. Applications for financial aid will be processed for approved applicants on a first-come, first-served basis until the available aid is ex_hausted. Therefore, U.S. citizens and permanent residents requesting financial assistance should file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FA.FSA) and the College Scholarship Service's Financial Aid PROFILE form as early as possible and promptly supply the Financial Aid Office with any additional documentation that may be requested. Non-U.S. citizens requesting financial assistance should file the Foreign Student Financial P.~d Application with the Admissions Office as soon as possible. Students who their financial aid applications before February IS (for fall classes) or September 30 (for January classes) have a significantly higher chance of ~~,,,, ,,,,~ all the aid for which they tha_n those who complete them later. WAITING LIST Once the entering classes are full or the available aid is exhausted, a waiting list will be established in the order in which deposits or completed financial aid files from approved applicants are received. Positions in the entering classes and financial aid will then be offered as they become available. Every effort will be made to accommodate those on the waiting list by allowing them to change their campus preference or to enroll in a subsequent class, as noted above. INTERCAMPUS TRANSFER Once enrolled on either campus, students may transfer to the other at the beginning of any academic year, provided their records are in good standing and they notify the Registrar's Office of their intentions by the third Monday in February of the previous year. Those students who wish to apply for financial aid must also file their new financial aid forms by March I . All such transfers are subject to approval by the cleans of both campuses and will be restricted if a very large surplus in one direction or the other could pose for staffing, class sizes, or housing.

The schedule on page 60 is used to determine the percentage of fees (tuition, activity fee, room, and which will be refunded_ The same schedule will be used to calculate the cancellation of non-federal financial aid: the "refund amount" percentage provides the percentage of aid to be cancelled and the "amount DETERMINATION OF DATE OF I-7 26 61 WITHDRAWAL 8-14 43 and after AID} REFUND POLICY INSTITUTIONAL REFUND SCHEDULE DAYS ENROLLED Fall/§p1·ing Sun1n11,e1c & mo% to the end percentage to the revised aid the student will receive, Fm a the first seven federal aid that had been awarded. B. A student who is tAµe11eu withdraw for academic or ·~·,~·~""'""'~ sons will receive no refund of tuition, room, and board. C. If the college determines that the circumstances leading to withdrawal are the student's control, the student ¥rill be for tuition, fee, �62 {FEES & FINANCIAL room, and board based on the percentage of the semester attended (number of days enrolled divided by total number of days in the semester). The same percentage will be applied to institutional aid. Documentation of circumstances leading to the withdrawal may be required; for example, a letter from a physician will be :required if a student is unable to complete the semester for medical reasons. RETURN OF TITLE IV FUNDS If a student who has :received Title IV Funds (federal financial aid) leaves the institution to completion of 60% of the semester, a calculation must be performed to determine the amount of unearned aid that must go back to the Title IV programs. No return of Title IV funds is required after 6o%(approximately 9 weeks of a r6 week semester). The withdrawal date will be established as described in the above The percentage of Title rV aid which is earned by the student (i.e., the amount of federal aid the student is permitted to keep) is the same as the percentage of the semester completed. This percentage is {ST. Arn} computed by dividing the total number of calendar days in the semester (including week-ends but excluding scheduled breaks of more than five days) into the number of calendar days completed by the student. For example, a student enrolled for 14 of II2 days would have earned 12.5% of Title IV aid for the semester. In this example, 87.5% of the Title IV aid would be unearned. The institution is responsible for returning to the federal aid programs the lesser of the amount of unearned Title IV aid or institutional charges that the student incuned multiplied by the unearned aid percentage. Federal regulations specify the order in which unearned funds are to be returned to aid programs. The order is: r. Unsubsidized Stafford Loans 2. Subsidized Stafford Loans 3. Perkins Loans 4. Federal Plus Loans 5. Pell Grants 60 SEOG Federal Work-Study funds are not involved in this determination: A student may keep money earned through the Federal Work- Study Program. If the total amount of unearned aid exceeds the amount the school is required to return, a student may need to return federal grant funds which have been :received for off~campus living expenses, up to 50% of the amount received for the semester. Student loans and Plus Loans received for off-campus expenses do not have to be :returned at the time of Vlrithdrawal but must be repaid in accordance with the terms of the loan. The Financfal Aid Office will notify a student if a return of federal grant funds is required. Sample cases of refund calculations available in the Financial Aid Office, JOHN'S COLLEGE} 63 SATISFACTORY PROGRESS 0 of the Higher Education Act of :require that each post-secondary make available information the criteria for judging satisacademic progress. The criteria John's College regarding the deterof satisfactory progress for of federally funded (Title IV) i:L!~arn;ia1assistance are as follows: order to be making satisfactory tm1Hnre!>so at the end of a semester a stun:mst be permitted to enter the next ter and that next semester must not de the repetition of any work This granted by the consultation with a committee of student's tutors, the "Don Rag ittee The Don Rag Committee ,sa student's work in all parts of the m and approves its quality before ending to the dean that the stuermitted to enter the next semess assessment is conducted in the presence by all of his or her 0 " tutors in common. At the end of the sophomore year, the dean a_nd the Instruction Committee, with the advice of the tutors, review all of the student's work during the first two years and determine whether or not the student will be allowed to continue, Under some circumstances a student who has not satisfactorily completed a semester's work may be allowed to repeat the work in order to remain at the Students are not eligible for financial assistance (federal o:r institutional) while they are repeating work" Sometimes students are permitted to enter a new semester with the requirement that they meet special conditions during the course of the semesteL In these cases, a student is not repeating work and is deemed to be making satisfactory progress until the dean determines that the conditions have not been met. When the conditions have not been met, the dean, in consultation with the Instruction Committee, decides what further determination is to be made of the case. �- 64 {FEES & FINANCIAL Federal regulations require that an institution set a maximum time frame in which students must complete their educational objectives. St. John's has set eight years as the maximum time frame in which students who are recipients of federal financial aid funds must earn their B.A. degrees. This may be eight years of full- or part-time study. Years in which a student is not enrolled at St. John's will not count in the eight-year limitation. However, years in which a student is repeating work (and thereby not receiving aid) are considered in the determination of years of study. If a student registers for a class in which he or she was previously enrolled for more than three weeks, the class will be considered as repeated work and the student will not be eligible for financial assistance. Exceptions to this policy may be granted by the dean in the case of an involuntary withdrawal due to illness or other mitigating circumstances. Students who are permitted by their Don Rag Committees to enter the next semester with incomplete grades on their records are deemed to be making satisfactory progress and are eligible for financial aid. A student who wishes to appeal a decision regarding academic standing should present a letter of appeal to the Dean of the College. The dean will review the situation, taking into account any special circumstances, and determine whether or not the student is making satisfactory progress. VETERANS/DEPENDENTS In compliance with federal and state regulations, St. John's has developed a set of policies on minimum standards of progress for enrolled veterans. I. St. John's will report to the Veterans Administration within 30 days all incidents of official termination or change of status that would affect benefits. {ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE} AID} 2. Minimum acceptable grades of a C average are expected. If a student falls below this average and/ or the student's tutors think there is a serious academic problem, the Don Rag Committee will recommend a consultation with the dean, who may ask the student to leave the college or may place the student on academic probation. During that probation period, support and counseling are available. Failure to meet standards through two semesters of probation must be reported to the V.A. A third semester of certification may not be granted for V.A. benefits without approval of a V.A. counseling psychologist. 3. The V.A. requires that grades be given for all courses undertaken and that all grades be considered in arriving at a grade point average. Should a V.A. enrolled student withdraw from any course at any point subsequent to the midterm point of any semester, a grade ofFwill be assigned. 4. St. John's will report to the V.A. when a student has not successfully completed. 75% of the credits attempted. 5. St. John's will inform students on V.A. benefits of this policy on minimum standards of progress. 6. St. John's will inform all veterans an dependents that prior academic ere credentials from post-seconda schools will be evaluated, but pri credits are not applicable to t all-required degree program at the c lege. However, liberal arts credits p viously earned will be deducted fro the training time eligibility offered the Veterans Administration tot transferring student. 65 BIBLIOGRAPHY BooKs AsouT LIBERAL EDUCATION and CHARLES VAN to Read a Book, Simon and ADLER, MORTIMER]., DOREN: How and MILTON ;MAYER: The Revolution in Education, µuiversity of Chicago Press, r958.
