First, let me reiterate my commendations and to say again that the St. Louis Junior College enterprise has restored my faith in the real merit of the local junior college policy in which the college is a community venture and a community enterprise. In my book, the Colorado policy, notwithstanding, there is really no sensible substitute for the community college policy. Z am hoping la the not too distant future to get some of our metropolitan area college leaders to make an excursion to St. Louis to visit the Forest Park College. Again, my sincere appreciation for your courtesies and help. Cordially yours, H. G r W Vest HGV/bd cci i Dr. Joseph P. Cosand / ft/*-
