study by the Century Council of
goa’s for the college before it
reaches its centennial year in 1976.
Three Questions

Texans from all fields have been

lenges to the state and nation,
what kind of student should A&M
prepare to graduate during the
next 15 years?

the college and its components in

Other Groups

who comprised the exterior group
of the Century Council, a similar
group was making a study of the
same material on campus.
This was the Faculty-Staff-Stu
dent Aspirations committee, whose
report will be combined with the
exterior group's findings for the
final “blueprint.”
The “blueprint” will be far from

vocation agenda. In addition oner

every school and department, guid
ed tours will be made of campus
facilities, a luncheon will be held
in Sbisa Dining Hall, distinguish

by the board’s “blueprint” report

clude the review, the famous
speaker’s address and the pre
