Residential College
Mr. Williams has done much
work on the Residential College
plan at Clinch Valley College
and at the University of California
at Santa Cruz.
He felt that this type of system
was "very attractive, very
expensive and highly experimental."
He was in favor of
"some sort of selective aggregation
of students with common
educational goals."
Mr. Williams wrote last January
a report on the residential
college plan under consideration
at Clinch Valley College.
In this report he said "the
fundamental concern in contemporary
collegiate education is
how one can teach students while
retaining and stimulating individual
intellectual initiative central
to creative scholarship."
"New public institutions must
be controlled to take advantage
of their size without losing individual
identities for students,
faculty and institutions," the report
said.
