Last spring a four-page questionnaire was included in Bridgewater to help the Long-Range Planning Committee bet­ ter understand the perception of alumni, parents, and friends of the College's program and physical facilities. Of the total respondents ( 10 percent of those solicited), 88 percent were alumni, 9 percent were parents, and 3 percent were friends. A separate questionnaire was also sent to seniors. "The results were most impressive," remarked Phillip C. Stone, Sr., '65, Chairman of the Long-Range Planning Committee and Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees.
