Abstract
We are presenting this report of a year-long study made by a faculty administrative Committee* at Boston University as the basis for a new position** created by the University, which has broad significance to the field of adult education. The Committee was asked to consider the role and responsibility of the University in adult education and to recommend the kinds of participation that will advance the cultural interests of the University. The report of this Committee, which was submitted to Presi dent Harold Case on March 5, 1959, is of such general value to anyone who is interested in forward-looking policy making for our institutions of higher learning that it is reprinted below. In fact, we believe that this classic statement will provide explosive ammunition to any adult education administrator.—THE EDITOR.
