Changing a World . What did the students learn from all this? ... The students found this unsatisfactory -- some of them would not be able to fit another astronomy class into their schedules, but they wanted to know about our planetary neighbors, and this project gave them the opportunity to find out without spending valuable class time on the subject. ... The students also learned to learn for themselves, perhaps one of the most important milestones during formal education. ...

This is the first in a series of papers in which we describe and report the analysis of a large survey of Herbig Ae/Be stars in circular spectropolarimetry. Using the ESPaDOnS and Narval high-resolution spectropolarimeters at the Canada-France-Hawaii and Bernard Lyot Telescopes, respectively, we have acquired 132 circularly-polarised spectra of 70 Herbig Ae/Be stars and Herbig candidates. ...
