By ALVIE L. SMITH During the past decade, Michigan's system of higher education faced and conquered the greatest obstacle in its history—the providing of educational opportunities for twice as many students as it had ever before accommodated. But the brief respite which the colleges and universities are now enjoying is to be short indeed. Steeper Mountain Ahead Ahead is a mountain more steep and rocky than the one at their backs. Again, the state's college are going to be asked to more than double their capacities by 1970. And this is not a problem unique to Michigan. The U. S. Office of Education, for example, predicts an increase in the administrators would not so agree), number of college students from 2,000,000 these colleges will require 48 million to 3,500,000 between 1952 and 1969.
