Indian courses to course mart.
According to Johnson, a full
time Indian recruiter is needed
immediately and the amount of
money available for Indian scho-
larships is not even clear.

or elementary educational aid to
the Indians.
If such an inference exists in
the treaty, Kennedy says, it
stems from the outdated concept
of the University "as a glorified
secondary academy of the lower
level type."
