A Study of Nine Freshmen and Ten Sophomores in a Compensatory Education Program at Marymount Manhattan College, 1968-69

Bessie Wright, Fordham University

Abstract

We selected the area of compensatory education for study because we feel it is particularly timely. In attempting to evaluate one program in particular, namely the Marymount Manhattan College tutorial program, we will provide first an historical context for education as an institutional means of meeting human needs. The relevance of compensatory education will then be discussed in that framework. Our premise is that modern industrialism has had a revolutionary impact on education as an institutional means. Specifically, we wish to point to the transference of education as a means and a privilege and to education as a means and a need.
