Dr. Wood is an ardent believer in the necessity of extending general education to more and more young people. ln an age increasing in complexity by the hour, education to the twelfth grade is not sutlicient to ground ci person Firmly in his civilization. With this conviction Dr. Wood designed the program ol Evans- ton Community College to provide both a well-rounded general education and specific job-training. The College otiers special programs adjusted to the needs of returning vet- erans, it affords opportunities to continue education through the Fourteenth grade For many students who might otherwise be unable to continue their education beyond high school, it provides general education and job training for those who do not plan a lull college course, it hopes to develop adult courses to answer WILLIAM R. WOOD Director, Community College l many community needs. Because of the pressure on colleges everywhere, the Community College now conducts straight academic programs sim- ilar to those of other junior colleges. Backed by an ever-increasing community support, the College will continue to ex- pand and extend its general and speciiic courses for all. Dr. Wood has high hopes of eventually creating a Flexible educational pattern adjustable to individual needs, from work- experience to a two-year college course. l-le especially wants to reach those people who plan to enter semi-professional work, such as advertising assistants and engin- eering draltsmen, he plans to give such students the general education necessary to center them in the world and to pro- vide work-experience so that they may enter directly into their occupation.
