...years, as Professor Jones has suggested. But the Plan's California angels are not going to continue shelling out twenty-five thousand dollars a year if no concrete results can be shown before 1942. The History Program must be oriented in one of two opposite directions: into the formal curriculum, or into a new realm of extra-curricular education...

Nor is a compulsory course a solution, striking as it does at the root of a college system which has only one common requirement for all its graduates: that they be able to write and swim.
