  • Report of the Curriculum Conference Held at Rollins College, January 19-24, 1931 by John Dewey

    Report of the Curriculum Conference Held at Rollins College, January 19-24, 1931

    John Dewey

    In January 1931, Rollins hosted a Curriculum Conference, with the distinguished educator John Dewey as chairman. Leading educators gathered to discuss a number of matters, including core curricula, general education and purpose of a bachelor’s degree as a whole. The resulting recommendations–which emphasized "Individualization in Education"–were implemented by Rollins in the fall of 1931. So provocative were these innovations that Sinclair Lewis, in his Stockholm address accepting the Nobel Prize in literature, listed Rollins as one of only four colleges in the United States doing the most to encourage creative work in contemporary literature.

  • Rollins After Dark: The Hamilton Holt School's Nontraditional Journeys by Randy Noles

    Rollins After Dark: The Hamilton Holt School's Nontraditional Journeys

    Randy Noles

    Rollins After Dark is a fascinating history of the eclectic program (and larger-than-life characters) that provided the underpinning of what would become today's Hamilton Holt School - the Rollins College evening program. Although 2019 is the Holt School's 60th anniversary, so-called "adult education" has been offered by the College for more than 80 years. In Rollins After Dark, Randy Noles presents an engaging and entertaining account of the development of the Hamilton Holt School at Rollins College. From a series of popular public spectacles focusing on diverse topics, to a serious academic program for degree-seeking, nontraditional students, the evolution of adult education at Rollins includes some of the most innovative thinkers of the 20th century. This roller-coaster narrative demonstrates that, over the decades, many of the most interesting things that have happened at the picture-postcard college have happened at night.

  • Rollins Architecture: A Profile of Current and Historical Buildings by Wenxian Zhang, Eneido Bano, and Charles Stevens

    Rollins Architecture: A Profile of Current and Historical Buildings

    Wenxian Zhang, Eneido Bano, and Charles Stevens

    The Rollins College campus has long been recognized as one of the most beautiful in America. Bordered by a picturesque lake and punctuated by majestic oaks and pines, it would be difficult to think of a more idyllic spot to engage in the pursuit of higher learning. Just as Rollins’ founders sought to bring to the Florida frontier the high-quality education of the New England colleges and universities of the late 19th century, they constructed the school’s first buildings in the same New England style. It was not until Rollins’ visionary eighth president, Hamilton Holt, that the College established its identity—in the manner of its education and the design of its architecture. Today, Holt’s groundbreaking, student-centered approach to teaching, with classes modeled on the editorial conferences Holt conducted for his magazine, is replicated in institutions across the country. The Spanish Mediterranean style Holt favored for the College’s buildings, however, has remained distinctively Rollins’, becoming the College’s visual signature. We celebrate Rollins’ architectural history and salute our predecessors for their taste and judgment. Our work educating Rollins students to fulfill their responsibilities as global citizens and responsible leaders is enhanced by the ideals of beauty and balance represented in the structures in which we live and learn.

  • Rollins Pictorial: Being Random Views of Rollins College and the City of Winter Park by Edwin Osgood Grover and Rollins College

    Rollins Pictorial: Being Random Views of Rollins College and the City of Winter Park

    Edwin Osgood Grover and Rollins College

    This "Rollins Pictorial" is an attempt to show you Rollins College as it is, and give you a glimpse of the beautiful town of Winter Park which the College calls "home". Corra Harris in her delightful essay "A Town That Became a University," calls Winter Park "a wide, winding, lovely little old town, defined by a necklace of opal lakes. It is shaded by live oaks, pines and camphor trees, and spreads out like a tropical garden in the sun-a rare old narcissus of a town always regarding its green shadows and flame-flower spires in the mirrors of its many lakes."
