It must be evident from the facts, and from the relative lengthof the two sec- tions of this report, that by far the greatest burden of thework of the New York College Bound Corporation and the College Bound Programis falling today on the secondary schools. This is where the students are now; this iswhere the largest amount of money is being spent now;and this is what the largest body of the report deals with. However, thecollege members will shortly be called upon to carry their part of the expenseand effort, and the report will reflect this change. In any event, the program is so full of hope for so many youngpeople, and the product of the first research done by the American Institute forResearch in the Behavioral Sciences (contracted for by the U.S. Office of Education)has been so favorable, (i.e. College Bound Program was among the 21 most exemplary programs in over 1000 compensatory education programs for the disadvantagedwhich were studied) that both writers of this letter of transmittal areheartened. Here is a pro- gram of enormous potential, a programthat will realize that potential in academic achievement. Respectfully submitted, HENRY T.

What will we have learned, if anything? Will we be kinder and more compassionate individually, as a nation, as a world? Will the ministries that the Sisters of Charity sponsor be financially viable and able to respond to those in need? While I can’t answer any of these questions, fortunately, I can rely on the words and promises in the psalms I have prayed over the years that are now even more meaningful. I am at rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I will never be shaken. Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” And with the father of the child in Mark’s Gospel, I, too, pray “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24) ADVISORY BOARD Regina Bechtle, SC If you are like me, you need to take a break from the news every once in a while to find Maryellen Blumlein, SC something uplifting.
