The Crumm Mountain Re-education Center functions something like a traditional university with several different schools devoted to a particular discipline. It wasn't always this way. When we began in 1972 we offered only several courses and followed a radical curriculum. Today, the re-ecuation center is comprised of four different institutions and has an average annual enrollment of 4,500 students.

The Center for Social and Historical Research
