PERSONAL DISCIPLINE: At St. Basil College discipline is an
integral part of education and is administered in that light.
Supervision is closer than in most colleges. No student of
good will and sound moral principles will find it severe or
exacting. It is so natural and proper to true manhood that
its observance becomes second nature to the student and distinguishes
him as a truly mature and cultured man.
CULTURAL AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES: Opportunities are provided
to the students for fostering cultural interests, for field
trips which relate to curriculum and for lectures in nearby
colleges and universities. Students also have access to museums
and performing arts centers in New York City and southwestern
Connecticut.
ATHLETIC PROGRAM: All the students are encouraged to participate
in some type of physical fitness program. This is in accord
with the objectives of the institution; that is, to educate
the whole man.
STUDENT WORK PROGRAM: Manual labor is a traditional part of
seminary training. It teaches the student to accept responsibilities
for his own and the community’s needs. It enables him
to experience physical labor and to respect the men who live
by it and whom he may serve some day as pastor.
THE SEMINARY LITURGICAL CHOIR: The oldest group activity of
St. Basil College, the Seminary Liturgical Choir has performed
frequently at civic and ecclesiastical functions. Its repertoire
includes traditional liturgical compositions of the Divine
Liturgy, Vespers, and other services of the Ukrainian Catholic
Church.
