The article presents matters related to American books. What first needs to be done is to explore the full the possibility of strengthening the neglected two-thirds of the existing institutions. The US Office of Education Lists some 1,855 institutions of "higher education" in this country. It is safe to say that half to, two-thirds of these could accept more students or would gladly do so if they had the financial means. Unfortunately, a good many are caught up in the vicious circle of poverty and mediocrity.
