Items stressed included the 3-3 calendar and curriculum, the common courses, the audio-visual center, he reading and study skills laboratory, the computer tie in with Battelle, the faculty sabbatical programs, the cocurricular program, the governance, innovations in institutional management and programs of outreach into the Columbus metropolitan area, the nation and world.
