that might have lead to this seem- !
ingly sudden decision by the ■
Administration, and, hence, am in

recent conduct does jeopardize our
survival as a school, then, indeed
we should be reined in somewhat; j
but if we are mature enough to de
dicate ourselves as we have by
coming here, then we are mature
enough to carry ourselves as
casuistry dictates.

Planning for the American Col

1964, when a pilot program was
launched by ANTA, AETA and the Ken
