     Situated in the metropolitan area of New York, the new College will endeavor to utilize to the utmost a study of the community as an environmental or cultural center. An analysis of this area presents a tremendous range of opportunities for the stimulation and orientation of young students. The day is past in all schools when education takes place within four walls. The new schools of Europe, elementary and secondary, might be defined as extending as far as the children or young people can travel. Groups are constantly underway studying at first hand the rich environment, and carrying back to their laboratories the facts discovered and the impressions received for their consideration and discussion. So in the new College for teachers, the community in which the institution is located is much more important than are the buildings in which the class work is held.
