The colleges and universities of this country have made every effort to adjust their programs to help win the war. They are now fully cognizant of their great responsibility to help with those problems that are to follow the war. Problems in the field of education do not, however, fall into war versus postwar problems. Most of the problems which now confront institutions of higher education trying to adjust to postwar conditions have their roots in prewar situations. Therefore, this compilation of reports about postwar plans in the colleges and universities can best be characterized by the "Higher Education Looks Ahead," with no direct reference to the influence of the war. This bulletin discusses the following: (1) Forces and Agencies That Condition State and Local Planning; (2) State-wide Planning for Postwar Higher Education; (3) Institutional Organization for Planning; (4) Actions Taken and Proposed in Important Areas of Planning; and (5) Selected Institutional Plans. A bibliography is included. (Contains 1 table and 1 footnote.) [Best copy available has been provided.].

A masterful history of the postwar transformation of American higher education In the decades after World War II, as government and social support surged and enrollments exploded, the role of colleges and universities in American society changed dramatically. Roger Geiger provides an in-depth history of this remarkable transformation, taking readers from the GI Bill and the postwar expansion of higher education to the social upheaval of the 1960s and 1970s, desegregation and coeducation, and the ascendancy of the modern research university. He demonstrates how growth has been the defining feature of modern higher education, but how each generation since the war has pursued it for different reasons. Sweeping in scope and richly insightful, this groundbreaking book provides the context we need to understand the complex issues facing our colleges and universities today, from rising inequality and skyrocketing costs to deficiencies in student preparedness and lax educational standards.
