PREPARED FOR SPE
Recent stories in newspapers
and popular magazines could easi
ly lead you to believe that unless
you were class valedictorian, cap
tain of the football team, editor
of the school newspaper, winner
of the annual Latin prize and first
violinist in the school orchestra,
your chances of entering a good
college would be pretty slim. Of

Cheer Up
If this prescription for getting
into college seems a little steep,
cheer up, all is not lost! There
are Some 2,000 institutions of
higher education in the United
States of all types: private, public,
CO - educational, church - related,
technical, and so on. Perhaps you
had not realized that over 1,200
of them enroll fewer than 1,000
students each and 441 of these
so-called “small colleges” are lib
eral arts Institutions,
board, room, and other fees at
CASC colleges it $1,200—consid
erably below the national average

for private colleges and in a com
petitive range with the charge to
out-of-state students at state uni
versities. Opportunities for on or
off-campus work are provided in
many cases and student aid in
various forms is available. Twenty
on the CASC list are fully accred
ited by their respective regional
associations. The rest are rapidly
approaching this status. The aca
demic credits of all CASC col
leges are accepted in every case
by at least three other fully ac
credited institutions. Most CASC
colleges have had their alumni
accepted by leading graduate
schools all over the country.
The colleges in this organization
have been growing faster than the
national rate for the last six years.
It is estimated that in this decade
they will build some 300 buildings
of all types at a value of $100,-
000,000.
These Institutions embrace a
wide variety of academic offer
ings—^the usual Uberal arts courses
plus such specialities as music,
forestry, business administration,
preparation for teaching, nursing,
medical technology, and prepara
tion for religious service. One col
lege operates its own farm, print
ing press, and radio station, corn-
binding the academic program and
on-campus vocational training to
achieve its educational objectives.
Another has strong departments
in home economics and in public
relations. A third uses the inten
sive study plan, which permits
students to work exclusively on
one or two subects during each
of four eight-and-one-half week
terms.
Science
One of the most impressive fea
tures of these colleges as a group
has been their growth in science.
