THOMPSON June 30, 1978 TO THE READERS OF THE 1979 FORESTER, LAKE FOREST COLLEGE In the l96O's, higher education in Illinois, as across the nation, was challenged by the need to expand campuses to accommodate the rise in college-bound students. Both independent and public institutions of higher education responded to the challenge. By 1970, every person who could benefit from higher education could obtain admission for at least some type of post-high school education and training. Also during the l96O's, those who sought college education had unique needs. They sought new learning experiences, often ones quite different from traditional curricula. Again, the colleges met the challenge by expanding their facilities and by offering new program options. Now we have nearly moved through the l97O's. It is a period characterized by new pressures on our higher education establishments. Competition for studen attention to cost issues and placement of graduates in available jobs are significant priorities, During the period, our Illinois colleges and univer both private and public, have addressed these pressures responsible and responsive ways. The public and private sectors have agreed to minimize competition for students Cost issues in the private sector are being addressed in several ways. The Illinois State Scholarship Commission supports private higher education. Also, both sectors have recognized the need to improve the linkage and communication between the worlds of education and work. We are beginning to experience good results from exchange programs between industry and our campuses. I feel that this program in particular is one which help to present students with a realistic View of what they can expect when their academic work is completed, Lake Forest College has been and continues to be a key contributor to the success of Illinois Higher Education. On behalf of the ll million people of Illinois, we are grateful. ' erely, ames R Thompson GOVERNOR JRT:dac ts sities in . S
