Twenty-two working papers presented at a graduate seminar in continuing education at Michigan State University during the Spring term of 1970 are compiled in this publication. The chief purpose of the publication, which is considered a "by-product" of the seminar, is to provide the seminar participants with the means by which to recall insights and convictions developed at that time. The working papers are concerned with one of the following topics: "Role of Institutions in a Community System of Continuing Education"; "General Areas of Program Emphasis"; "Administrative Concerns"; and "General Topics." The seminar, which included "credit" and "visitor" members, was structured along the following steps: (1) the instructor proposed a general plan for conducting the seminar (Appendix I); (2) a seminar committee developed a revised and more detailed plan, which became the guide (Appendix II); (3) each seminar member selected an institution or issue; conducted research; developed an initial working paper; distributed copies; and read his paper; (4) each paper was discussed by groups of six members, and suggestions were made; (5) papers were rewritten; and (6) revised papers were categorized and compiled by the seminar committee. Appendix III presents excerpts from the constitution, school code, statutes, and administrative rules of the State of Michigan. Appendix IV is a form for rating institutional involvement in continuing education. (DB)
