In our society which grows more complex year by year, the junior college is playing a greater role than ever before. One out of every four students in America today begins his college education in a junior college. The junior college, as a fonn of higher educa- tion, has a two-fold purpose: lj it is a college par- allel, and Qj it has vocational education facili- ties both for young students and for adults wish- ing to gain more specialized training close to home. The junior college is unique in that it houses both a college preparatory program and a voca- tional program which meets the needs of adults and younger students not planning to go on to a four-year school. And Hutchinson Junior College, as the largest junior college in Kansas, is an example of the im- portant part the junior college is playing in Amer- ican Education today. l'l john Anderson, Governor of Kansas John Anderso Governor of Kansas Clifford A. Busick, County Commission I firmly believe the junior College is the best way in which the students of this com- munity can economically further their ed- ucation. I am very proud of the fact that Hutch- inson and Reno County has such a Junior College. D Sincerely yours, Clifford A. Busick Chairman, County Commission 4
