Failed experiment?

I'm having a blast learning more about the great disappearing college - the New School College that started with much fanfare in 1966 had vanished pretty much without a trace within five years. This has something to do with a deliberately countercultural ethos: incoming students in 1967 participated in a sort of altar call where each had to come front and center in an auditorium and receive a copy of anarchist philosopher Paul Goodman's Drawing the Line! Some of the students took it even further, as you'll perhaps recall, and as attested by these screencaps from work by an alum who became a "no budget" filmmaker.
