In its proposal of May 1968 to the U.S. Office of Education for a Higher Education Comprehensive Facilities Planning Grant, the State of Maine Commission on Higher Education Facilities outlined several activities that it wished to undertake. On approval of the grant, the Commission engaged the Institute for Educational Development (IED) to conduct tasks outlined in the proposal. This report is a summary of commentary on the information collected. Included are discussions and statistics concerning enrollment in colleges and universities in Maine, a physical facilities inventory and the utilization of such facilities, libraries in the institutions, and the effects of new teaching/learning techniques on planning higher education facilities.
