Hesburgh, president of the university of Notre Dame, has commended Wawasee Preparatory school for the “outstanding progress” it has made in the enrollment of minority students. “Wawasee Prep's record of achievement is an example ‘Of what can be done in this areh when a school makes up its mind that it wants to increase the number of minority students it enrolls,” Father Hesburg said. “Other boarding schools and colleges and universities throughout the U.S. would do well to follow Wawasee’s example. It has made outstanding progress in a short period of time and is making a significant contribution to the Civil Rights cause.” Five years ago, Wawasee was an all-white boarding school. Today, minority students make up 25 per cent of its student body.

commission, said boarding schools “offer one of the best opportunities available to get blacks and whites together.’’ “If blacks and whites would just get to know each other better, I am confident many of the problems we have today in this country would be solved,” he said. “What is happening on the campus of Wawasee certainly will have a significant impact in the years ahead because the youth attending this school have an opportunity to get to know each other better than they would in any other environment. “The progress we made in civil rights in this country during the 1960’s has virtually stopped at the national level because of the attitude of the Nixon administration. But it must be carried on at the state and local level during the 1970’s if we are to continue our forward movement. Wawasee is setting the pace in this regard.” The former chairman of the U.S. Civil Rights commission said he believes that many Catholic minor seminaries that have been closed during the last five years “could easily be converted to boarding schools just as Wawasee was and play a leading role in the struggle for human rights and dignity in this country.” Wawasee Prep was the minor seminary (high school and two years of college) for the Fort Wayne-South Bend Diocese for 20 years. It became a college prep high school for boys in 1967 and has been co-educational since 1971.
