Notes Patterns for Lifelong Learning. Hesburgh, Theodore M.; And Others The book presents ideas of three university presidents of how basic changes in attitudes toward education can help build new learning systems that help move forward the concept of lifelong learning and meet the needs of contemporary society. The three separate but related investigations of the authors were conducted through the support of the W. K. Kellogg Foundation. Part 1, a study of Continuing Education and the Future, was an outcome of a national conference in 1971; it includes the findings of four task forces that examined the relationship of adult and continuing education to social responsibility, public affairs, the role of the college and university, and the rapidly growing body of knowledge. In Part 2, Universities and the Learning Society, the author analyzes the influence of adult and continuing education on the academic community, the shaping of civic policy, and the creation of new lifestyles. The third part concerns the findings of a lifelong education task force at Michigan State University and is an example of the requirements of a large, complex institution accommodating itself to adult education needs in the modern world.
