| Abstract | The most important single outcome of the grant from the Mellon Trusts to the George Washington University (GW) was the development of the Division of Experimental Programs. This new division is centrally concerned with turning GW's Washington location to academic advantage. Under the terms of the grant, GW was to develop means to relate the "total resources" of the university to the needs of local communities, particularly poor communities. This report traces the development of the Division of Experimental Programs through the five-year life of the Mellon grant. Section 1 discusses the relationship that existed between the university and the surrounding Washington community prior to the receipt of the Mellon grant. Section 2 details the first year of the grant. Section 3 describes the attempts to take community-oriented courses out of the classroom. Section 4 tells of the advent of the first service-learning programs, which placed students in public, private, and other community agencies for firsthand observation and experience. Section 5 details the cooperative program established between GW and a Washington community (The Anacostia Project); early problems faced in attempting to match university resources with specific community needs are discussed. Section 6 traces the development of a new GW office to supervise grant-related activities. Section 7 evaluates GW's accomplishments during the five-year grant: lessons learned and observations made.
