Description
Article from the Swarthmore Phoenix, published on December 4, 1962, announces that college will resume its program to recruit Black students through student recruiter visits over winter break. The goals of the program are described as attempting to encourage Black students to seek a college education, to make Swarthmore seem like a reasonable goal, and to introduce the college to Black students who are interested. Jerry Nelson mentions that enthusiasm of student recruiters is more important than being able to communicate fact and detail.
