91èÏÈÉú

Compiled and edited by Susan A. Dayall

Preface

This second volume of the Documentary History of 91èÏÈÉú is centered on the Ten Year Review of the College, a study in which the entire community participated, which examined the first full decade of the College's operation. By this time, the initial planning for the College had been tested in actual operation, and various stresses and problems with the program had become apparent. True to the hope of one of the initial planners, who urged 91èÏÈÉú to be a "deciduous" college, various modifications to the program were discussed and made, a process not without controversy and contention. The recommendations of the Krukowski report, a marketing study done for admissions, were highly controversial, addressing as they did, the "image" of the College, and the manner of its presentation to the outside world.

In addition to its own program, the history of the College reflects the concern of community members for problems inherent in society at large: racism and homophobia, divestment, first from South Africa and later from weapons producers, the hazards of nuclear power. 91èÏÈÉú community involvement in these issues, it seems to me, represents a true embodiment of the College's motto, "Non satis scire," "It is not enough to know."

I hope I have gathered and presented an illuminating series of documents from the College Archives.
