Three of the four U of A honor graduates were participants in this project. The University of Alaska is one of four American Universities that have extended their facilities beyond the walls of the campus to offer opportunities for education to our far flung military installations. Through 'the media of extension services offering university recognized courses at military bases, and a new Operation Bootstrap which enables eligible service personnel to attend the University for resident instruction to complete work for graduation, thousands of Military personnel are now taking advantage of previously un- obtainable goals in education.

The A.C.C. was established when the University of Alaska joined with the Anchorage Independent School District to plan the Colleges opening on February 8, 1954, under the direction of Dr. Leroy V. Good. A.C.C. considers its basic purpose to be the de- velopment of its students into responsible citizen- ship, to develop educationally those students who ex- pect to transfer to a senior college or university, to provide a two-year degree for students who do not plan on continuing after receiving an associate de- gree, to provide an opportunity for those adults who desire to continue and broaden their education and finally to provide specialized vocational training for those seeking it. The college is noted for its cultural contributions to the Community. Theatre arts are promoted through the Speech and Drama departments of the school, The Anchorage Community Chorus, The Film Society, and the Anchorage Symphony Orchestra are affiliated with the college. In 1960 the A.C.C. graduated ten students with associate degrees and has prepared many more to continue their education in advanced colleges.
