SERVES SPECIFIC PUR- POSES In the Basic Documents for community colleges, three major responsibilities have been defined The first, is to provide courses of types and levels beyond or not suited to the secondary school system apart from those wishing to attend university The third, is to meet the needs of adults and out of school youth, whether or not they are secondary school graduates. The Board of Governors of Durham College believes that the proper interpretation of these responsibilities involves the formatin of a college serving people of all age groups, who want to continue their education but who, for various reasons cannot, or do not want to enter a university.

The educational enterprise was organized an build from zero assets in-less than 12 months. As a start, the Board of Governors rented two rooms in a vacant house on the Oshawa General Hospital grounds. Here the Board held their first meetings, and an office was set up for me after my appointment as president in March 1966. For temporary College facilities we decided to erect portable classrooms which were ready, equipped and in use by September 1967. This first fear gave time to experiment, and the ex- perience gained was in- valuable in formulating new programs, facilities and techniques In the second year of operation, a modular pre- engineered building was] erected, and in addition to technical and business courses, the College began offering courses in Applied Arts For the third year, the size of the pre-engineering building was double and the Retraining Programs, for- merly operated by the Board of Education, were added to the responsibilities of the College The same facilities were utilized during the college's fourth year of operation, while our new permanent building was constructed to ac- commodate 1,500 students. { PERT & PERRY County Council Passes | 1972 Tax Rate Bylaw For the second year the "| Ontario County tax rate will be based on 100 per cent of the equalized cent current and 30 per cent previous assessment.
