"Ever since the Spring of 1970 when I, like many others, was awakened from the sleep of conformity by the kiss of the invasion of Cambodia and the smelling salts of campus-distributed tear gas, I have tried to act within the field of adult education with one main purpose in mind -- to find and join with colleagues who will work for a radically humanistic approach to the field as a part of a worldwide effort toward a society in which, for the first time, all people are free of oppressive rule."                 -John F. Ohliger
