Thank you for your charming letter, jhc7:
You write, "Bear only started liking the accredited schools when he saw it was to his own advantage."
Bear: Oh, really? How, then, do you explain the fact that the first edition of Bear's Guide (1974) -- and indeed every subsequent edition -- was a ringing endorsement of the accredited schools offering degrees by distance learning.
In 1990, the Registrar of the regionally-accredited University of the State of New York (now Excelsior) wrote that more than 50% of their thousands of students had learned about the school because of their listing in Bear's Guide.
And by the way, the name is Klempner.
