With the realization that a school ' s image is formed in many ways, the Dutchman staff presents Belleville Junior College in its 1966-67 transitional year through a new approach in the presentation of the hook. The introduction, pages 4-8, presents a short history of the college and features the administrative leaders. The College Life division provides the classroom aspect by departments, pages 9-30, and a chronological presentation of the social aspects, pages 31-82, while the College Images division, pages 83-115, presents familiar faces on campus.

Belleville Junior College has a proud history “I believe that the expansion of our college system in the next decade should be exclu¬ sively at the two-year college level...” James B. Conat, former president of Harvard Uni¬ versity, was not wrong in his prediction ten years ago. Belleville, Illinois, however, foresaw the merits of a junior college long before Mr. Conat’s prediction. The BeUevUle Board of Education became interested in junior college programs in 1941. A four-year intensive study followed, resulting in the establishment of Belleville Junior Col¬ lege. Classes were begun in September, 1946, with 185 freshmen enrolled for courses in lib¬ eral arts, pre-commerce, pre -engineering, pre¬ law, pre-dentistry, pre-medicine, and two-year terminal courses in accounting and secretarial training. In 1947 sophomore courses were added to the curriculum and the enrollment grew to 235. Credits from the junior college were readily accepted by colleges and uni¬ versities. In 1961, a team of examiners from the North Central Association arrived on cam¬ pus to make a thorough investigation of facili¬ ties and course offerings. The administration and faculty were pleased and proud when the college received full accreditation. Until moving to the present campus, JC students shared many facihties with the high school. The college, which was made tuition- free. to aU students of the district, gave an opportunity for college training to many who would not otherwise have been able to afford it. 5
