It "consciously breaks the sequence of testable learning," says President Brewster, "not under the shadow of opprobrium or for a fancy 'grand tour' but as part of a programmed educational pattern which splices experience with learning." The essential feature of Yale's program is neither its $300,000 nor its provision for a year in underdeveloped areas.
