This issue of "race" has too often become a falsified and un-humanizing issue. In our opinions of individuals we may ignore "racial" distinctions. But when we come to think of ourselves in the flux of history and in the sense that we are a function of groupings of mankind, then we must honestly admit the polarity of our feelings. Therefore, however erroneously "race" may have become a major theme of recent history, it does have practical significance; and it must be faced carefully and creatively--if we are ever to undo its consequences.

Whether called the junior college, the two-year college or the community college, it is an institution that offers its students a three-track choice: preparation for transfer as a junior to a four-year college, general education for those who do not go on for more, and vocational training for such semiprofessional jobs as electronics technicians, engineering aides, laboratory assistants...
