After World War II, returning veterans with GI Bill benefits
ushered in an era of unprecedented growth that fundamentally
altered the meaning, purpose, and structure of higher education.
This volume explores the multifaceted and tumultuous transformation
of American higher education that occurred between 1945 and 1970,
while examining the changes in institutional forms, curricula,
clientele, faculty, and governance. A wide range of well-known
contributors cover topics such as the first public university to
explicitly serve an urban population, the creation of modern day
honors programs, how teachers' colleges were repurposed as state
colleges, the origins of faculty unionism and collective
bargaining, and the dramatic student protests that forever changed
higher education. This engaging text explores a critical moment in
the history of higher education, signaling a shift in the meaning
of a college education, the concept of who should and who could
obtain access to college, and what should be taught.
