The last thrcle sentences of the third paragraph of Dr. Price's letter should have read: "Its sole concern should be with quality --- the ability of the student to meet the challenge of its stan- , dards. If it succeedS in this en- deavor, it will need no divisive special program. Students with talent need no crutches which perpetuate segregation and stigmatize; they enjoy the ex- perience of intellectual growth which a rigorous college education provides." Scrimshaw regrets. this error and offers apologies to Dr. Price.
