...product of this effort has been the compilation of an inventory of the many community-related programs now being conducted by the various faculties of the University. It is an impressive list of 160 different projects, amounting to an annual expenditure of more than $12 million. Since the information had never before been made available, it may at least serve the purpose of letting one part of the University know what other parts are doing in the field. Hopefully better coordinated and more effective programs may result. But together the inventory and the committee's report, both of which...
STILL ANOTHER noteworthy development of the past year was a dramatically increased effort in all parts of the University to make it easier for students from various disadvantaged groups, especially disadvantaged black students, to attend this institution. This was not a wholly new development. The College has been working with mounting vigor for more than a decade to find and admit more students of promise from urban and rural wastelands.

Last year it raised more than $60,000, much of it from its own members, to further a new effort toward this end. It undertook a very successful recruitment drive, using black students and alumni, in Boston, New York, Washington, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Detroit. The result is that black students are conspicuous by their numbers in this year's entering class. And concerned as never before by the fact that minority groups have produced...
