Which "California State College?"

The reference in this bio (which is substantially the bio found at http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/bah/DAM/mg/mg407.htm) to "California State College" now points to the entry for the California State University system. But until 1982 California State College was the name of what is now California University of Pennsylvania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_College). It seems likely, although not absolutely certain, that the latter is correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjackson (talk • contribs) 18:54, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Contemporary University

There should be mention of Joe Rhodes' Contemporary University, a late 60's early '70s program funded by the Ford Foundation that diverged from standard collegiate structures by enabling undergraduate students at a number of universities to undertake independent research projects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.4.194 (talk) 21:28, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your recollection. I believe it's correct, but Wikipedia needs a published source for specific claims like that. If you can find one, please add the citation and the description to the article! Easchiff (talk) 16:01, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
