A classic late-1960s U.S. public service announcement asking viewers to give money to colleges.  (I don't know the exact year. I took this from the DVD release of "The Mothers-In-Law", a 1967-1969 sitcom, so I presume it is from the late 1960s) Can anyone identify the narrator? I've heard his voice in other places.
