Need-Based Aid, Racial Proportionality, and the College Work-Study Program of the National Youth Administration, 1934-1943
Often overshadowed by the GI Bill, the National Youth Administration (NYA) supervised the first federal need-based financial aid program in the United States. Tracing the origin of federal aid back to the era of the NYA reveals that the rationale for need-based assistance rests closer to the core of the American policymaking tradition. This article contributes to previous histories of the NYA by demonstrating how its decentralized implementation …
From Compensation to Accommodation
This article examines the history of learning disabilities (LDs) on college campuses, from the introduction of the concept in the early 1960s to its spread throughout American higher education during the 1990s. At first, colleges offered relatively little assistance and urged students to compensate for their LDs by working harder and adopting recommended study strategies. After legal and institutional pressures compelled faculty members to provid…
We Are Gonna Miss Too Many of Them”
This article employs historical methodology to explore the evolution of Grow Your Own (GYO) teacher programs. These initiatives, which continue to rank among the most popular methods of teacher recruitment, originated as “future teacher” clubs designed to attract students into the profession during a severe staffing shortage that occurred during the 1940s and 1950s. In that era, recruiters attempted to hook students with appeals to the joy of wor…

Mark Garrett Cooper (a film scholar) and John Marx (an English scholar) set out to demonstrate what the field of media studies can contribute to our understanding of the developme…
You Can’t Belong Anywhere Else”
This article employs historical analysis of a unique collection of essays to examine the college aspirations of rural high school students. Although researchers attribute the low educational attainment of this population mainly to poverty and poor school quality, many scholars continue to believe that historically rooted cultural norms and kinship bonds also inhibit ambitions regarding higher education. However, statements written during the 1950…
Child Support Litigation and the “Necessity” of American Higher Education, 1920–70
City Blood Is No Better than Country Blood”
The gubernatorial election of 1892 unnerved faculty members at Kansas State Agricultural College (KSAC). Voted into office by a “fusion” of Populists and Democrats, Governor Lorenzo Lewelling filled four vacant seats on the college's seven-member governing board, overturning a Republican Party majority for the first time in the college's history. These new regents included radicals such as Edward Secrest, a farmer who pledged to “change the order…
