College Drops
Five Freshman
'Farm' Centers
First definite reduction in the
cooperating college program for
handling Penn State freshmen
was announced yesterday by Wil
mer E. Kenworthy, executive as
z,istant to the president of the'
College. '
Starting this Fall, freshmen no
longer will be sent to the five
private institutions now under the
plan. Some 2,000 frosh will be
sent to 13 state teachers' colleges
and seven Penn State centers.
This is the first real modifica
.tion in the program since it was
inaugurated shortly aftei the war
to take care of increased enroll
ment at the College. The change
was made because the institu
tions will not be needed*to handle
freshmen next Fall, with over
1,000 scheduled to study on cam
pus.
Those Dropped
The colleges dropped from the
program are: York Junior College,
Lycoming College Keystone Jun
ior College, Gannon College, and
St. Francis College.
The College administration has
told the five institutions that, as
far as conditions permit, the Col
lege would consider transfers of
students who wish to start at the
former • cooperating colleges.
Whether any further cutbacks
in the program would be made the
following year was not even open
to speculation at this time, K.en
worthy said.
