Conference Calls
Dr. Harbeson to
Atlantic City
Speaking recently before dele¬
gates to the National Association
of Secondary School Principals
convention in Atlantic City, Dr.
John Harbeson, PCC principal, re¬
vealed that there are now 40 four-
year junior colleges functioning
in the United States.
In opening his subject, Evalu¬
ating the 6-4-4 Plan, Dr. Harbe¬
son stated: “This plan has now
had a sufficiently long history
and is sufficiently developed to
warrent an evaluation.”
Calling the four-year junior
college “The New American Col¬
lege,” Dr. Harbeson expressed
the belief that these institutions,
of which PCC is one, are capable
of standing on their own reputa¬
tions. He said, “It need not bask
in the borrowed light of the stan¬
dard college; it has the possibili¬
ty of becoming the center of the
educational and cultural life of
the entire community to which
all men and women, without re¬
gard to age or walk of life, may
prepare for inspiration and the
opportunity for life-long learn¬
ing.”
