Alumni of Lincoln University, an historically black and currently multiracial institution, were surveyed for their views concerning their college experience and its effects on their subsequent work experience, and responses were compared based on race. Of the 3,500 alumni who were mailed a newsletter containing the questionnaire, 129 responded. The respondents represented a broad cross-section of Lincoln University alumni, and three-fourths were black and slightly over half were female. Information is also presented on year of graduation and major. On the whole, the former students seemed relatively content with their educational choices. the idea of not attending college was lowest on their list of possible changes, and was, in fact, overwhelmingly rejected. Similarly, the educational process was generally acknowledged to have enhanced virtually all skills that the respondent possesses and applies. Respondents reported a general pattern of a somewhat lower skill level than their current employment applies, and this reinforces the idea of a need for greater, or more effective, college exposure. However, discrimination, and employment opportunity, rather than low educational or skill qualifications, appeared to present the major difficulties in first job searches. This general pattern was not dependent upon the respondents' race: the most striking racial pattern is the absence of significant attitudinal differences between black and white alumni. Nevertheless, blacks experienced more job discrimination, and felt that the skill applications were generally more intensive than did their white counterparts. (SW)
