1

families and parents to understand the importance of

this and to somehow get them to come in and to apply

3

to one or more of your institutions; and I believe that

4

the investments of time and effort in working or borrow-

5

ing funds and repaying them is not too much to ask of

6

the student for higher education.

I don't believe in the very selective public

8

system in which you get your admission way up here and

you simply serve a few that you would like.

MR. ENEY: Let me ask you in one other area,

11

if I may, and this is apart from the university of

12

Maryland. I think the present Constitution deals almost

13

entirely with public education with perhaps one excep-

14

tion. It doesn't have any provisions encouraging private

15

education.

16

Do you think that it would be desirable,

17

particularly in the area of higher education, to have

18

either, one, constitutional encouragement of independent

19

colleges in private education or, two, more specific

20

constitutional assistance by means of tax exemption or

21

something of that sort?
