The article presents information about the City College of New York City Pre-Baccalaureate Program that began in September 1965, with 109 students taken directly from New York City's ghettos. The program was an experimental attempt to take young men and women, who possess high school diplomas but who ordinarily would not be admitted to the college out of the ghetto, and to offer them financial help and psychological guidance as non-matriculated students, and then absorb those who are successful into the college's degree-granting program. By September 1967, City College's program had grown to include almost 500 students, showing success of the program.
