Item description from seller

Quarto in pale yellow pictorial stapled wraps; 80p, numerous b& photos and some illus. Mimeographed. Scarce. "Nasson College was a private four-year accredited liberal arts college in Springvale, Maine. that was established in 1912 and closed in 1983. History .In 1963, President Roger C. Gay proposed the possibility of having one or more colleges under the control of Nasson College. The planning and preparation began and, in the fall of 1966, the New Division, an experimental college, was established. The New Division followed the model set by Goddard College and Antioch College, which encouraged extensive student participation in social, academic, and discipline policy and independent study. Like many schools at the time, Nasson hoped to challenge the traditional models of higher education. The New Division operated from a separate, newly constructed building located west of the original campus, containing both housing and community facilities. The realities of operating two substantially different educational models under the same college umbrella resulted in substantial conflict at Nasson. The old division comprised traditional students and conservative faculty, while the New Division was made up of hippies and more liberal professors. In 1969, Gay was replaced as president of the college by John S. Bailey. Educational consultants recommended dissolving the New Division and consolidating its programs with the rest of the college, while students in the New Division protested the loss of autonomy. The New Division closed before the 1970 school year."?Wikipedia. ??History of Higher Education. Alternative Higher Education. Experiments in college institutions.
