The committee recommended
that the high school and facilities

They recommended the college

stressed the need to establish the

lege separate and distinct from

fishing acceptable library faci1-
tiles and the procuring of neces-
sary office equipment. The COM
mittee estimated that about
$4,000 will be required over and
above tuition to establish the col
lege and operate the first semes-
ter. Thereafter the annual cost
was estimated between seven and
10 thousand dollars per year.
Most Of those expenditures would
BE- reimbursable up to rs per
