Abstract	Questionnaires were mailed to 250 private 2-year colleges to ascertain their concerns, problems, issues, needs, and plans. Outstanding or representative examples of innovation and experimentation in the colleges were identified. In addition to the questionnaire, a series of regional conferences, at which the comments and reactions of junior college leaders were elicited, were held. The five questions that comprised the questionnaire were: 1. What are the real and distinct advantages of the private 2-year college? 2. What are the chief issues or problems facing your college now? 3. What are the best avenues of opportunity to assure that the private 2-year college is a vital segment of higher education? 4. How can AAJC, et al., help? Immediately? Long range? and 5. What is your college doing about which you are enthusiastic? Programs, innovative teaching and study techniques, community services, etc.? Replies to each of the questions are analyzed. Recommendations are made as related to National Leadership, Government Assistance, Public Information, Consulting Services, Institutional Cooperation, Teachers: A Special Breed, Community Partnership, and Alertness to Change.
