One problem : many veterans have already had some higher education but, unless special plans are made for them, will be unable to go on to a degree. The New School announced one kind of help: a senior college in which veterans, with underclass credits, can get A.B.s through evening courses.*
*Some 400,000 studious U.S. fighting men may seek postwar underclass credits for correspondence and self-teaching courses of the U.S. Armed Forces Institute (TIME, Feb. 21). Typical of the Institute's daily ton of letters was that of Brooklyn-born Ensign Frank William Gardner, whose new PC boat is one of the first two U.S. warships with Negro crews. Wrote he: "They are aware . . . that the spotlight . . . shines directly on them. . . . Nearly all ... have shown excited interest [in] the Institute and the opportunities [for] correspondence courses, high-school . . . and college credit. . . ."
