Sumario:The article focuses on the honors program launched within the school of education at Boston College. The honors program will select between 10 and 15 prospective sophomore teachers each year. The purpose of the program is to provide for the ingenious and intelligent prospective teacher an appropriate intellectual experience both in the humanistic and professional disciplines. In this program the seniors who have finished the sophomore and junior seminars will join the professor of the sophomore seminar and act as discussion leaders, model discussants and guides. It is this requirement of selectivity that humanities professor has favored because it agrees an aristocracy of the intellect and reinforces the pursuit of intellectual excellence.
