This resentment against the Advanced Standing program was both misdirected and uninformed. The unusually young student in question entered the College thorough the regular admissions channels and had nothing whatever to do with the Advanced Standing office. More significant, however, is the fact that the Advanced Standing program, during its 20 months of operation, has studiously avoided stirring up any controversies at all--whether of the 13-year-old or any other variety.

As a result, most Negro publications are having circulation and other problems...
