Abstract
A questionnaire study of administrators in higher education (born 1893-1903) disclosed several different life style patterns for the “retirement period” from ages 65 to 75. Two contrasting patterns are described here–The Transformers and the Maintainers. These groups reported some differences in their boyhood experiences, in their attitudes toward retirement, and they differed markedly in their choices of activity after age 65.Keywords
