Forsdale said this principle as

with time and situation, and
that repetition is desirable or
necessary in The education pro-

that they can't repeat the ex-

play in the swiftly developing
drama Of US. education" These

"The nature of the challenge
we face--dramatized by the visit
of Mr.. Khrushchev and the Rus
sian moon rockets-demands that
we make greater efforts in edu-
cation. Well-established in their
towns. all across the South, these
(UNCF) colleges are as much a
part of America as Casey Stem

They have been the bridge be-
tween ignorance and enlighten-
ment, despair and hope, hate and
constructive good will"

out each year hundreds of en-
