INDEX 127
INTRODUCTION
The idea that busy adults should pause from time to time to
deepen and clarify their views is so obviously valuable fhat the use-
fulness of a residential center for this purpose has occurred inde-
pendently to many different people in many different countries. The
existance of such centers and their importance in terms of both numbers
and contributions have been evident to many adult educators interested
and involved in the field, but the necessary preliminary documentation
of the number and kinds of such centers and the identification of the
persons responsible for such centers was not completely known, even
to those most deeply involved, until the first Directory of Residential
Centers in the United States and Canada. 1963-64 was published by the
University of Chicago Studies and Training Program in Continuing Educa-
tion. Since that time, more and more centers have been designed or
renovated and administered for the purpose of brief but full-time study
by adults in a residential setting. The growth of such centers, in
size, number and importance, is great. This Directory is an effort to
bring up-to-date the basic descriptive information about residential
centers now in existance in the United States and Canada and to expand
our information through the identification of such centers outside of
North America.
This Directory is a descriptive list of residential continuing
education centers in the United States, Canada, and Abroad which are
known to be in operation in 1968. The definition of a residential
continuing education center used for purposes of information collection
XV
in the general survey questionnaired.which were sent to those persons,
institutions or organizations who were thought to have centers or who
might know of the existeace of such centers was "an on-campus or off-
campus facility primarily or partially used for the purpose of enabling
adults to come together to learn for a period of time, away from the
distractions of their everyday activities."2,3
This Directory is neither
a complete nor an accurate list of such centers for at least two reasons.
Despite efforts to be complete in coverage, it is probable that the
survey questionnaires used to obtain information did not reach all in-
stitutions which have centers. And since the information included is,
in many cases, from centers which are in the process of expanding and
changing their facilities, programs, and personnel, even yesterday's
data must be somewhat out-of-date. I sincerely hope that inaccuracies
and omissions in the list will be brought to my attention. Nevertheless,
this census of residential centers for continuing education represents
present knowledge of the identity, location, and brief description of
such centers and the name and address of the individual in each case
who can provide more information.
lThe several forms of the survey questionnaire are included in
the Appendix.2For several definitions relevant to but different from this
definition, see "Mat is Continuing Education?" in Continuing Education
Report, Number one, published in 1965 by The University of Chicago
Studies and Training Program in Continuing Education.
3This definition implicitly reflects the particular irterest of
the Studies and Training Program in college and university affiliated
centers and consevently the center listings are perhaps more compre-
hensive in this regard than for non-college or university affiliated
centers.
xvi
It is expected that the Directory will be useful to various
individuals or groups in several different ways. The initial purposes
for which the Directory has been compiled is for the University, of
Chicago Studies and Training Program (financed by a grant from the
W. K. Kellogg Foundation) to better describe and define facilities
and programs of residential continuing education and to locate those
key individuals who are at work in the field so that studies about
this phenomenon and its growth can be improved and increased and so
that programs of staff and graduate training can be enhanced and ex-
panded. It is expected that other graduate students and professors
of adult education also will use the Directory to document the exist-
ence and growth of this part of the total field of adult education.
Groups who wish to locate a particular kind of facility in which to
hold a program also will find the document useful, as will those in-
dividuals representative of a program or institution who are contem-
plating the construction or acquisition of a particular size or type
of facility.
The organization of the Directory is such that center listings
can be found by reference to the country, state or province in which
they are located (see the Table of Contents) or by the name of the
Center arranged alphabetically (see the Index at the back of the
Directory). A list of knoan Centers planned to be in operation in
the near future also is included in the back of the Directory. The
questionnaires used for data collection appear in the Appendix.
This Directory represents the cooperative effort and support
of many persons. A grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation to The
xvii
University of Chicago for the Studies and Training Program macie it all
possible. The work of George F. Aker (now at Florida State University)
and John H. Buskey (now at the University of Maryland) and others who
developed the first surveys which resulted in the 1963-64 Directory
made this one easier. Donald Garside (Visiting Lecturer at The Univer-
sity of Chicago for 1967-68 from the University of Manchester) helped
considerably in the information collection from abroad, as did Miss
Maxine Simmons for information collected within the United States and
Canada. Miss Kathryn Kaiser helped organize and compile the Directory
and Mrs. Doris Portman and Mrs. Dolores Ford to type it. The center
descriptions were checked by persons (generally those listed) repre-
sentative of their institution, and many other interested persons and
colleagues contributed greatly to this Directory with suggestions and
leads to centers which were new to us.
It is hoped that, in part, this document fills the growing need
for some survey information about residential centers that will enable
researchers, center planners and programmers, and others involved in
this field, to more intensively and systematically study and exchange
information about the Important phenomenon of residential continuing
education.

Dear Continuing Educator:
A survey of continuing education centers was conducted in 1963-64
by the Studies and Training Program at The University of Chicago.
The data obtained from the survey provided information for the

Centers in the United States and Cana a, 19631964. T e D rector

residential facilities and persons actilm in adult continuing
education.
The Directory is being up-dated and expanded. The new version
will include a listing of continuing education centers in the
United States, Canada, and abroad.
In order to up-date the Directory we need information from you
regarding new facilities7a3se which are being planned and those

forms which are enclosed. Form I asks for current information
regarding the particulars of your facilities for residential

In this survey the term "continuing education" is used to

We hope to have data about your program by August 7 and to
compile the new Directoy by late summer. After the data are
