Summary:In a four-phase study extending from Fall, 1964, to Spring, 1965, three hypotheses are tested on a Catholic population in a Catholic university. The hypotheses, derived from a system model, predict that dropouts can he differentiated from non-dropouts by value orientations, social participation patterns, and friendship patterns. The data tend to confirm the hypotheses. The general conclusion is that as Catholic students become more people-oriented in the university complex, they tend to drop out of the Catholic university. The question is then raised as to the impact such a trend might have on the Catholic university's commitment to transmit its cultural heritage.
