Abstract
The attitudes that 509 university students under 28 years of age held toward their age peers and toward students over 35 years of age were studied. Students were drawn from various departments or colleges. Statistical analysis shows that students below 28 years of age rate students over .35 years of age a little more favorably than the younger students rate their own age peers.Keywords
