...absorbing a smaller percentage of additional recruits than the nation. (It has been shown, incidentally, that despite a doubling of college enrollment in recent years the average I.Q. has not fallen). Part of the improvement must be associated with the enlightened admission and scholarship policies carried out by the Conant-Buck and the Pusey-Bundy regimes. Messrs.

Presumably, the conference will seek a solution for this question, bearing in mind the possibility of federal aid or even former President Conant's suggestion of a vast junior college program. If, like the public school representatives, the delegates do propose federal support, they must decide whether the aid should go only to state schools, or to private universities as well...
