An_additional 59 teach: ers are from outside either university, most of them in the fields of retail. education or irisurance. Stillwell noted the accomplishments of the division, now in its fourth year. ~One of the finest points of the division is the strong rela: tionship it has created between the faculties cf Wayne and~ U. of M.,~ Stillwell noted. ~The general~ support among has. been very encouraging. At first, some faculty members -thought it was a little beneath them to teach in adult education: ~But I~m happy to say that that resistance is long since past. ~~T~'m also véry satisfied with the support given our liberal arts courses by the community. Most of our course offerings are in this field,~~ he added. ~The spring semester of classes - begins the week of February 13.
