...have given the nation's problems much thought; we have also made a sizable effort to sift the thinking of others and to present what we believe to be the best and most promising proposals. We hope that concerned citizens and experts in many groups, organizations, schools and colleges???possibly even in Government?will consider these issues anew. Our chief purpose is to dispel the notion that nothing can be done. Thus we also report on many people who have in fact done a great deal, have already begun their own American Renewal...
...high-ranking seniors of '71?at least from the best colleges???will have no serious trouble finding employment. But they may have to work harder at selling themselves to an employer, the job may not be the one they had hoped for, and the salary may be lower than they like.

"This year no one even bought me lunch." Corporate recruiters still visit campuses...
...Negro may give a white panhandler a handout but he may not follow him into a bar with the sign, "Whites only." He may attend the graduate schools of state universities (about 1,000 do), but he may not attend undergraduate colleges???with some exceptions (e.g., University of Louisville, University of Delaware).

Superficially, it does not seem to be a fair test. Only three California colleges???Stanford, Southern California, California?sent teams to the I. C. A. A. A. A.* meet at Philadelphia last week to compete against 31 Eastern colleges. Actually, the excuses of Eastern coaches?that all the best Pacific Coast athletes go to one of these three, that the climate permits all-year...
...faculty of 40 able instructors chosen widely throughout the land; an 18,000-ton steamer; an itinerary for the steamer including 35 foreign countries between Manhattan and Manhattan via the seven seas; a curriculum for the students including 34 college courses, credit for which would be given by shore colleges???in a word, a seagoing, globe-trotting university operated on the usual shore basis with scheduled class hours, strict discipline and university commons for meals, all at $2,200 a head for board, passage and tuition?this was the proposal of New York University. The aim: a world point...
