INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE

The primary objective of this humanities course is to investigate

man and his role in the universe. This objective will be achieved

through a study of past and present Western World literature, philosophy,

religion, society, art, music, and architecture. This investigation

will lead the student to an understanding of man's past and present

behavior and, consequently, to an understanding of his own role in

present ~,ociety. One may ask why there is so much empha si s placed on

the study of man's past--this may bore the student because such studies

are not "relevant" tC' his world. The answer is simply that man can only

gain an understanding of himself and his world through reflection upon

and study of past civiliZation. That is, man, in choosing his m,J'O

values and behavior, must attempt to understand the values and behavior

of men a,nd societies preceding his own time. The ultimate value of the

course lies in the student's recognition of universal trut.hs about man

and society, and the attempt to answer the epic question, "Who am I?"

The school year is divided into six six-week periods. The class

will meet five days a week for fifty-five minutes a period; one day a

week is for in-class reading, three days a \-leek for lecture" and discus-

sion OVE:r the literature all students are required to relld, and one day

for guel:;t lectures, field trips, or other presentations. Each student

must select one of the following themes as the topic for his papers

during the year:

Page 4: I recommend that this thesis be accepted as four hours

1. Man and religion

2. Man and society

3. The different drummer

4. The alienation of modern man

The student will write five papers (1000-1500 words) for each

of the first five six-week periods and a final paper for the last six­

week period. The final paper will be a culmination of the conclusions

reached in the five preceding papers. In essence, the f:i.nal paper is

the end of the means or the synthesis of the year's ,,'ork.

The last two weeks of each six-week period will be spent in

2

daily seminar, which is a meeting between the teacher and two students

writing on the same theme. The teacher acts only as a questioner, while

the two students present their papers for discussion. EHch student

must provide copies of his paper for the other two partieipants at

least two days in advance. This will allow each participant time

before the seminar to study the papers.

In addition to the six papers, the student will bE~ required to

participate in panel discussions concerning the class readings. Tests

and quizzes will be issued, and class participation will also affect

each student's grade.

The Humanities Department will have its own resource laboratory

containing all of the required readings, music and art tl3xtS, and

architecture reference books. The laboratory will also contain such

works as The Vision of Tragedy, The Proper Study, Handbook to Literature,

and the like to be used as reference works. The Humanities Department

works through the English Department in conjunction "i th the Music, Art,

Page 5: I recommend that this thesis be accepted as four hours

and History Departments. The laboratory will be operated as a library

with a student librarian on duty during the day. The resource labora-

tory viII also contain various recordings, filmstrips, and other media

to be used in the course. The Humanities Department will also have

its own budget for films and the like, and the student viII contribute

to the budget to aid in paying for the field trips.

The humanities course vill be offered as an elective for Senior

English credit, and only those seniors vith permission from the human-

ities instructor and guidance department viII be eligible to take the

course. The class will be limited to a maximum of tventy college-prep

seniors.
