STUDENTS Students at A T College are no different from college students anywhere They fall along the scale, from very good, ordinary and in between, they fit the patterns of conservative and radical, and in between Some come from backgrounds of affluence and others from situations not so affluent. This has been true for the whole history of the College. But, unlike students at many colleges, A T students, in the mom, have been working students, reguired by limited resources to earn all or part of their educational costs. This, probably has given them an unusual sort of independence, and has encouraged a rare sort of self-reliance.
