Newspapers in the area conducted man-on-the-street interviews regarding the College, and the replies were comical. One man said, “Every boy and girl should go to college and if they can’t afford Yale or Harvard, why, Electoral is just as good, if you work.” A woman in Philadelphia said, “I’ve heard some very nice things said about Electoral. It’s here in the neighborhood somewhere. I think it’s that bunch of red-brick buildings about three blocks farther down.” And she pointed toward Independence Hall. A sporting type said, “The guys at the bar poor-mouth Electoral somethin’ awful. Wasn’t they mixed up in a basketball scandal or somethin’?” Another man spoke for the majority. “I think every kid should go to Electoral … whether they want to or not.” In the course of several weeks I interrogated about fifty of my friends, a majority with college educations, and was surprised at the general ignorance I encountered. Not one understood the full complexity of the system.
