Abstract:	The University College of Rhodesia faces a crisis of such proportions that even its continued existence is not entirely certain. The crisis is rooted in the anomaly of a university created on multiracial principles existing in a tense, segregated society in which the process of racial accomodation is moving backward rather than forward. The article describes the beginning and the course of the diverse difficulties. As yet the multiracial composition of the student body has not been changed, and African enrollment rose both in absolute numbers and percentage for the 1966 academic year, but because the fundamental dillemma remains unresolved, a number of specific problems loom darkly on the horizon.
