Materials range in date from 1979 to 1982. The Scholars of the College Program began in Fall of 1980 as a joint effort between the School (now College) of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Division of Student Affairs. It was founded under the direction of Dr. Carmine A. Prioli, professor in the Department of English. The purpose of the program was to provide a challenging and fulfilling experience for elite students majoring in the humanities or social sciences. The curriculum varied from year to year but centered upon interdisciplinary seminars taught by distinguished professors. Other events (known as the Honors Forum) included talks and lectures, visits to museums and historic sites, and attendance at concerts, plays, and movies. These extra-curricular events were designed to supplement the academic experience. Scholars in the program were expected to enroll in honors courses in their major field and complete an honors thesis. Upon successful completion of the program, "with honors" and "Scholar of the College" appeared on their diplomas. Less
