is estimated that ten years from
now, the college age population will
be about 13.700,000. With a college
education valued as it is, by 1967
one out of every two of the 13,-
700.000 will want to go to college
—about 7 million prospective stu
dents, far more than double to
day’s number.
The bleak image of inadequate
facilities and insufficient faculty
is a hair-raising one for educators
and others concerned with the fu
ture of America's youth. Many
educators have been talking forth
rightly about the following choice
of basic policy decisions. Should
they overhaul and drastically prune
curriculum? Should they raise
tuitions to discourage applicants?
Should standards of quality be low
ered in order to recruit more fac
ulty members? Should the facu
lty-student ratio be lowered? Should
more rigorous standards of admis
sions be applied? (A current, path
etic bit of academic humor is the
question, “Should small colleges
grow bigger so that more students
will enjoy the benefits of the small
institution?”)
In the main, these are essentially
backward steps in education. At
the moment, it seems likely that
some of them will have to be ap
plied in coming years. Serious ef
forts are, of course, being made to
find better solutions. Columbia has
indicated it will try to improve its
quality and increase its student
body by 20%. Fordham intends to
increase its number of students by
half in the next ten years, Rutg
ers to double it. Most state uni
versities, too, have announced plans
for expansion. Those that can ex
pand by any pre-designed plan are
favored and fortunate; it is still
unlikely that their expansion can
meet their needs.
After the White House Conference
on Education, President Eisenhow
er appointed a Committee on Edu
cation Beyond the High School. The
group is headed by Devereux C.
Josephs, chairman of the board of
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, and is composed of 30 other
distinguished Americans. It has
thus far issued two reports, with
recommendations. For one thing
the Committee said that at leasst
a quarter of a million additional
professors and instructors will be
needed; it also called for the doubl
ing of faculty salaries as well as
fringe benefits to encourage more
qualified men and women to enter
—and stick with—the profession.
In its second report, the commit
tee had a long list of further rec
ommendations. It minimized the im
portance of the federal government
in providing assistance programs
and recommended that they be pri
vately, locally, and state supported.
(A federal appropriation to con
tinue the life of the committee it
self was barely squeezed through
Congress.) It said that the develop
ment of existing institutions should
take priority over the establish
ment of new ones. It stressed that
salaries should come before build
ings. It advocated that the govern
ment set about studying adult edu-
