College of Oak Ridge Part II

Earlier this year, I posted about finding a lapel pin for the College of Oak Ridge while doing some online browsing. I had never heard of the proposed college prior to finding that pin but my interest was piqued, and I have kept my eye out for more information about the school. As fate would have it, while once again perusing the web I made another find. Below are a few photos of a prospectus for the college from March 1965. I did not want to scan the entire document, but the plan it presented was both well thought out and quite ambitious. Aside from a glass ring on the cover and a little touch of rust on the binding staples it's in great shape. I really do like the seal! The oak leaves harkening back to Oak Ridge, the atom reflecting the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the torch reminiscent of the one held by University of Tennessee's Torchbearer in nearby Knoxville. 

It is a shame the college never really came to be, and in reading this document I could only imagine the disappointment of those involved in trying to get it off the ground. I am still on the lookout for a CoOR tie bar and Founder's Card.
