...earth. Now public universities need to develop new tools, courses, disciplines and methods of research to help the cities. One such special city problem is how to help Negroes and other minority groups fulfill their own rising expectations for education. Countless projects in tutoring ghetto youngsters, bringing them on campus during the summer to help them qualify for admission, and relaxing requirements for those who show promise are under way-but much more needs to be done...
...handle the overflow from increasingly selective universities, the states have converted nearly every teachers college in the U.S. into a broader four-year liberal arts institution. The state-college system in California, with 18 campuses in operation and four more in the works, has 142,000 students, thus is twice as large as the nine-campus University of California. Some of these colleges, such as freewheeling San Francisco State and San Diego State, justifiably claim that they are better than many a public university elsewhere-and, in fact, are bitter about their lack of university status. Pennsylvania maintains a strong...
What New York did, in 1948, was to lump every unit of public higher education in the state* into one vast multiversity. By the standards of the past, S.U.N.Y. hardly seems like a university at all.

Each will have its own master and will offer courses and social activities appealing to students of a particular lifestyle.

S.U.N.Y. is about to build an entirely new 1,200-acre campus for Buffalo in suburban Amherst. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill with preliminary plans including a mile-long central building, the project will cost...
More than 10,000 students applied for the 1,500 freshman openings this year at Albany. Part of the appeal is the most striking physical setting of any S.U.N.Y. campus. Designed by Edward Durell Stone, even down to the burgundy carpets in the student lounges, it cost $110 million and features four 23-story towers, overlooking a central cluster of academic buildings within a columned walkway. A few student cynics dub it "Miami Beach North," but Governor Rockefeller proudly orders pilots of his private plane to fly over the campus...
