Class Memories

At the conclusion of my sophomore year, I was told that I could qualify for the U of R Honors program. In Honors, we took two courses a semester or eight in the junior and senior years. Classes were small-never more than eight students. We wrote at least one research paper a week. This was a wonderfully immense production of intensely criticized writing. Standards were high and learning curves for writing style and literary content were exponential. There were no exams until the end of the senior year when we took written and oral tests with examiners from other colleges.

Those two years allowed me to attain knowledge and skills I could have acquired in no other way.

This lasted two richly rewarding years.

At 86, I am still using my Meliora writing skills every day.
