The president of Hood College, a liberal arts college for women located in Frederick, Maryland, considers the challenges confronting American higher education and describes what one college is doing to meet them. A description of Hood College and American higher education is provided. Seven sections focus on the following: (1) matters of equity (lack of gender bias, easy transfer, male students, financing, adult continuing education, support for Hispanic students, and women in science); (2) education that empowers (gaining professional experience, mastering skills of social science research, citizenship responsibilities; strategies for surviving in the computer age, graduate programs tailored to community professionals, Hood students abroad, and the core curriculum); (3) new requirements in leadership (answering the call for leadership at home and across the country, Hood alumnae in leadership roles, partnership power, lectures and advice by business leaders, student teams, the honor code, and civic responsibility); (4) the complexity of management (boosting enrollment, governance, endowment growth, the continuing role of alumnae, the living 3-year plan, achievements in fund-raising, and cutting operational costs by energy conservation); (5) Hood's answers in action (from 1893-1987); (6) Hood College in brief (statistical data on students, faculty, alumnae, undergraduate majors, graduate program, financial growth, and revenues and expenditures); and (7) major gifts and grants from 1977-1987.
