Center for the Study of Liberal Education for Adults

Abstract

In its last round of grants prior to dissolution, the Fund for Adult Education made generous provisions for the continuation of the Center for the Study of Liberal Education for Adults. Necessarily the support was at a reduced scale. The Center staff devoted more than a year to a careful consideration of the crucial aspects of this program which should be continued under a reduced budget. University administrators af adult education were consulted at all points. With this statement, originally made to all Association of University Evening Colleges and National Uni versity Extension Association deans and directors and others with whom the Center works directly, Director A. A. Liveright shares with the field the Center's decisions regarding the directions the new core program will take.

Although the Center works primarily with higher education, it has made contributions to many segments of adult education, and we be lieve this memorandum will be of interest to readers of Adult Education.
