Pretty standard "You Should Go Here" recruiting film made for for Cedar Crest College (still in business!) Despite the description, I found, aside from the shaky aerial shots, this competently shot and the audio fine. Again, this is pretty basic aside from being a college for women. It's great footage for the time though.
