...candidates for the novitiate are Gaspard (Don) d'Andelot Belin and Thomas Coates. Brother-in-law of McGeorge Bundy (former Dean of the College), Belin is a Yale graduate, a member of the law firm of Choate, Hall, & Stewart, and a very active participant in Cambridge projects. Coates, a lawyer with John Hancock, is a member of the NAACP and has also been very active in the community...

Though 100 engineering courses are listed, there is only one man in the "college of engineering," and the faculty of the journalism school is one journeyman printer.

...Clyde Belin told reporters that he was determined to carry on. All he had to do, he said, was persuade his trustees to buy his campus to pay off his creditors and then lease it back to a new corporation called Belin University. After that, he planned to embark on another scheme-a retirement village for elderly folks, "especially those who have devoted their lives to God's work." But last week the angered and disillusioned people of Chillicothe hoped that they would soon see the last of the Rev. Dr. Clyde Belin...
