The Origins of Federal Support for Higher Education
The Origins of Federal Support for Higher Education revises traditional interpretation of land-grant college movement, whose institutions were brought into being by 1862 Morrill Act to provide for the liberal and practical education of industrial classes. Rather than being inevitable consequence of unfolding dynamic of institutional and socioeconomic forces, Williams argues, it was active intervention and initiative of a handful of educational le…

The “Other Jeffersons” and the State University Idea
tions are little known and woefully neglected. Only a few professional historians could quickly recall anyone besides Thomas Jefferson; yet he was certainly not the beginning and had good company, both predecessors and successors. That company helped shape the ideas and made the choice of institution that, as an alternative to the colonial college, was to lead to the guarantee of at least one public institution of higher education in every state …
The Dartmouth College Case
The Dartmouth College case, its climactic decision coming amidst intellectual and institutional churnings in the formative years of American higher education, has been examined and reexamined far more for its constitutional than its educational meaning. The U.S. Supreme Court decision of 1819 is famous in constitutional law for its statements on private rights and corporation privileges. It is, perhaps, the most quoted decision of all, but for re…

Is the Low-Tuition Principle Outmoded

The Capacity to Govern
rT iHE MEN'S souls tried in Thomas Paine's day were not found wanting, but in our day they have found their match. This is time to try men's will to survive. This is time to test their humanity and to contest their sanity. This is time to reflect on whether sages or madmen have produced what Sir Winston Churchill recently called this hideous epoch. The world in which men have so long thrown stones has itself become glass house, in which we stoica…
The Capacity to Govern
Co-ordination
T HE favorite educational dream of many political scientists-the complete integration of school administration and local government-will certainly not be realized in the foreseeable future, if ever. Public opinion, although perhaps indifferent at the outset, would be against it when aroused by fear of 'politics, depressed standards, and impoverishment. Professional educators would be vociferously against it. Public officials could not prove clean…
The Accountability of the British Nationalized Industries
Great Britain's giant nationalized industries pose unprecedented problems for a free nation. Are the old governmental forms appropriate? Can the new forms be held accountable to the public? Can public accountability and business efficiency be reconciled? The five key industries, formed out of thousands of former enterprises, employ almost two million workers—almost three times the number of civil servants. Even the strictly “business” problems ar…

Consumer "Control" In British Nationalized Industries
Joint Consultation in Britain's Nationalized Industries
statutes clearly ruled out the extreme of workers' control, but the debate continues on what degree of workers' participation is desirable and what form it can best take. This appears to be a matter on which consistency is not regarded as a virtue. Individual trade unions, the Trades Union Congress, and the Labour party have taken wide swings around the whole orbit of the problem; but when something had to be put into law, the Labour party adopte…

Dear Dean Misanthrope
DEAR DEAN MISANTHROPE: I think we agree in the language we are using but disagree completely in substance. We agree that leadership is the correct principle, but I hope my use of the term does not remind anyone of a related German word, Fiihrer. I think you know that one of my reasons for recently surrendering the deanship and thus depriving myself of many pleasant associations with you and the other deans in the official administrative family wa…
Lessons from Military-Sponsored College Training
A LTHOUGH the Army Specialized Training Program was organized to co-ordinate all professional training for the Army, exemption was specifically given a little-publicized pre-professional program sponsored by the Army Air Forces. There were several reasons: the program seemed to be destined to terminate automatically upon the graduation of current classes; its seventy-five hundred students were, as a general once observed, small potatoes to an Arm…
