"There are many reasons for Lating that we have reached a risis stage in higher education i the United States," Sumwalt tated, "but certainly three stand ut." "The first is the matter of the remendous changes t h a t have )nverged on us in the mid-twen eth century-the second-is the hallenge of International Com iunism-the third-lies in the en Allment bulge and the relative hortage of qualified teachers iat has already struck our uni ersities." "Sputnik" Blessing "In many ways the Soviet uperiority in rocketry and the hock that came with "Sputnik" i 1957 have proved a blessing. Ve have gone through a healthy elf-examination and are probably etter prepared to realize just ow serious is the crisis that con tronts us."

". . . higher education . . . is not an expensive luxury, it is an expensive necessity. Educational Privilege Among o t h e r comments, Dr. Sumwalt said, "Higher education is not necessarily a birthright of every citizen. This sounds harsh, but I believe we have come to the point in our national life when higher education, especially the graduate training for which de mands will grow at a phenomenal rate, must be viewed as a privi lege to be accorded to those who are qualified and those who work." In relating the crisis to the state of South Carolina, Dr. Sum walt said, "In our world of crisis and change it has become axio matic that the prosperity and de velopment of the State will be directly related to the status of its institutions of higher learning." A Simple Matter "We know that unless we match the salaries and opportunities cur rently being offered to our better professors here in South Carolina, other institutions will lure them away from us . . . This would be a simp)le matter in South Carolina if we spent as much money per capita on higher education as we (10 on our enjoyment of luxuries." "The crisis in higher education de(mandls that we turn a corner ...we cannot afford to take it easy. We cannot compete in the modlern world wit hout supreme energy, effort, and struggle."
