Description

An Air Force pilot, a Navy doctor, a math teacher and a Ph.D. at Florida State University are introduced as products of the Southern Scholarship Research Foundation. The film shows the program to provide free housing to students and viewers see FSU campus life in the 1960s. The film illustrates the responsibilities of house members, budget, menu, chores and cooperative living at its best. The students' voices narrate. Then, Dr. Mode L. Stone, FSU Dean of Education, appears at the Tallahassee Junior Museum and tells of his rural boyhood and how he began the foundation. Supporters of the foundation are shown and other programs are described. The film ends by showing one of the original students that inspired the program, who is now a rural teacher. Produced by McLeod Films; sponsored by the FDC and the Sears-Roebuck Foundation.
