A program of outdoor pursuits in education has been developed under the title QUEST. Its activities aim to encourage
characteristics such as responsibility, leadership, self-confidence,
trust, loyalty, initiative, self-discipline, and sensitivity through
personal experiences in field trips, field study, and certain types
of experiential education away from campus. Certain of the
experiences may be designed to permit cooperating departments
to offer academic credit to students who participate. Participation is not confined to college students, but may include faculty
and other individuals from a wide range of ages.
The actual activities offered to accomplish the QUEST objectives are: rock climbing, backpacking, canoeing, sky diving,
hang gliding, rafting, bicycling, cross country skiing, along with
exposures to new cultures within our society. Equipment for
most of the activities is available at no cost to the participants.
There is also a special five-day outdoor experience offered to all
incoming freshmen students in conjunction with their summer
orientation program which is called "Up Reach."

attitudes, values,

to enjoy a fuller

life

more constructive role in society.
The pattern of general education outlined above reflects a
belief that a college must attempt to insure that the standards
of an educated person in reading and writing have been attained,
and should require the student to have experiences in the three
recognized broad areas of knowledge: the humanities for their
insights concerning intellectual and ethical values, the social sciences for enlightenment basic to understanding problems of society, and the sciences and mathematics for mature appreciation
16

of the contribution of these branches of knowledge in determining the nature of an industrial-technical society.

Prescription of general education courses has been set at a

minimum

each student, with the help of an adopportunity to survey his previous background and
choose new intellectual experiences that provide opportunity
for optimum growth. This policy places important responsibility upon the student for discrimination in making decisions.
General Education courses should be those which contribute to the broadening and rounding of our students' education
in line with the stated philosophy of General Education.
