America is a land of habits, attitudes, or re sponses, whether one wishes to call them traditions or not. Many of these have been agents preparing the way for the ap pearance of the Peace Corps. The concept of an American world mission, first associated with Protestantism but broad ened to include world peace and the dissemination of our tools of economic success, certainly falls into this category. An interest in the fate of common men everywhere, expressed through numerous privately financed American relief and de velopment projects overseas, is another instance of an attitude which has been extended by the Peace Corps. John F. Ken nedy's 1960 campaign proposal came after a decade of dis cussion and lobbying on behalf of an official "people-to-people" program involving volunteer technicians. The Peace Corps is a product of American anti-Communist foreign policy. But more than that, it is an expression of ongoing American opti misms in the fate of man. Whether Americans, who have not yet succeeded in making their own land a model of brotherly harmony and general prosperity, can succeed in their global enterprise, remains to be seen.

Beginning as a quantum jump, the Peace Corps faces a crisis of growth. Will it choose consolidation or another quantum jump? It also faces a crisis of skills. Will it be able to recruit the more experienced, higher-skilled personnel needed by the host countries? Starting as a token venture, which few took seriously, the Peace Corps now faces large responsibilities. It is participating in institution—building—in nation-building— on a large scale. It needs to become more professional and more effective, to be seen as a central part of America's over seas education and development programs, and to be integrated with those programs. It needs to find its context in the larger systems it serves: American education and politics, overseas governments and peoples, and international education and de velopment. A 1970 Peace Corps is described—doubled in size and improved in quality: Volunteering is part of a new defini tion of citizenship; Peace Corps service is an integral part of higher education. The flow of Volunteers begins in high school, widens in our colleges and universities, and extends beyond the Peace Corps into new overseas careers. The Peace Corps itself is a kind of university in dispersion.

Presents assertions that run counter to Peace Corps Director Ronald A. Tschetter's claims that the organization is doing well. These arguments call for radical change in the Peace Corps if it is to operate in the 21st century. Adapted from the source document.
