The major premise of this paper is that morale in retirement is achieved through involvement in intellectual, social, and physical experiences which are meaningful to the person and his social milieu. The paper posits that these experiences are to be found in continuing education. Presented are 12 hypotheses dealing with old age and the process of aging. Included are descriptions of three operational systems for delivering educational programs to older adults, and reaction statements from people involved in these programs. (Author/LKP)
