This paper reviews briefly the development and scope of Federal support programs to higher education which relate to the problems of the small college, and discusses in detail Title III of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and Part E of the Education Professions Development Act. Weaknesses of proposals submitted last year for Title III funding are cited. The evaluation of cooperative arrangements, which are the central focus of Title III, is discussed concerning (1) individual institutions in cooperative arrangement, (2) structure of the cooperative arrangement, and (3) character of the cooperative programs. Part E of the Education Professions Development Act supports fellowships, institutes, short term training programs, and special projects. (HW)
