"The value of learning in a residential environment is
documented and supported in adult education literature and the U of S played a
leadership role for years in offering this non-traditional educational opportunity
to university credit and non credit students. Moreover, through partnerships
and alliances, non university groups whose mandates were to provide
educational programs were significant campus supporters. The reach of this
campus, while rooted in Gus Kenderdine's Summer School of the Arts, was
much broader than the arts as it grew to encompass professional artists
workshops, courses and research in biology, soil sciences and beyond."
