The late Barry Hollister was a very smart and wise fellow and an
institutional treasures. After graduating in the 30's, he was involved with
the college off and on during a long life as professor and administrator.
The Old Old plan did keep the college in the black by increasing tuition
income. As a participant in it I recall the 8 week sessions as quite
stressful, however. Just no time to handle a variety of pressures.

If the College is revived, it will need someone like Barry (a lifer) to help
design co-op for modern circumstances. I hope there will be no more outside
consultants!
