Colleges in the Colonial Era. In Chapter One, Thelin (2011)
mentioned nine surviving colleges founded before 1781:
Harvard, William and Mary, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown,
Dartmouth, Rutgers, and Pennsylvania. Many feel that these
colleges stand out as quality higher education institutions that
have acquired prestige and longevity. Do you agree with these
viewpoints? Consider how these colleges influenced perceptions
of higher education today. What about the quality of education
then and online learning now? Relate how these trends and
events still impact higher education today.
==============================================

www.newtonhelp.com
EDU 657 Week 1 DQ 2 Colonial Revival Colleges
Colonial Revival Colleges. Thelin (2011) noted that the English
universities Oxford and Cambridge greatly influenced early
American higher education. In addition, Oxford and Cambridge
were autonomous, privately endowed and linked to a federation.
The “collegiate system” of combining learning and living was a
seminal plan for higher education that college founders tried to
capture for the American colonies. Discuss the various ways in
which early American Colonial colleges did "not" emulate or
resisted replicating the Oxford-Cambridge ideal. Describe the
reasons for these changes and what the change agents were.
Consider important factors such as college funding, curriculum,
religion, architecture and the student population .What is your
opinion about the changes? Do you feel that the established
political powers should have taken a different direction or kept
some of the key elements of the Oxford-Cambridge ideal?
Explain why or why not.

Reflective Journal. Critically reflect on the personal impact of
the foundations of education. Reflect on a time when you
studied about the history of the Colonial Era in grade school,
middle school, high school or college. What surprised you to
discover about higher education during the Colonial era? Have
your perceptions changed as a result of examining a few of the
historical, political, ethical and/or economic foundations of
higher education during this timeframe? How has this
knowledge impacted your perceptions and experiences about
higher education? Summarize how this information will change
your teaching.

Creating the American Way. Medical schools during this time
represented a good example of American society’s enchantment
for education without the overly strict rules and standards.
Reflect on the role of Medical Colleges in higher education
during the first half of the nineteenth century. Consider the
educational preparation and requirements for medical doctors
during this era. How do you feel that differs today? What
influences are still impacting higher education today with

regards to new educational programs and innovations? Consider
the role that government regulation and accountability plays in
higher education. How do you feel America’s approach to
higher education building might change in the next 5- 10 years?

Education
Resilience in American Higher Education. Large scale
philanthropy contributors who offered substantial gifts such as
foundations, trusts, and estates were necessary to higher
education budgets in order to pay for salaries, services and the
construction of new buildings. The transformation of
philanthropy in American higher education was the coming
together of industry and religion in what was termed the
“Protestant work ethic.” Discuss why this was important to
wealthy entrepreneurs. From your readings, what challenges do
current higher education institutions face with regards to
funding? What are some of the possible solutions to these
challenges? Do you believe it is still important today? Do you
believe this work ethic perspective has changed in higher
education today?

EDU 657 Week 3 DQ 1 Captains of Industry
Captains of Industry. The wealth and energy between 1880 and
1910 was a unique and dynamic period in higher education. During
this time the stock market was volatile and the rules that governed
higher education were mostly absent. In addition, there was an
abundance of industrial wealth, and a new level of philanthropic

generosity toward higher education. Uncertainty and diversity were
characteristics of this time period.
Discuss the dynamics of university-building in the formative decades
between 1880 and 1910. Reflect on the actions and influences of
Slossen’s book Great American
Universities (http://www.archive.org/details/greatamericanuni00slosri
ch) and the Association of American Universities. What were some of
the historical, political and economic reasons that these associations
had so much influence? From your own personal experiences, are
there similar associations in higher education today?

EDU 657 Week 3 DQ 2 America Goes to College
America Goes to College. The age of university-building was also
the golden age of the college. Attending college was popular and
fashionable during 1890 through 1920. Obtaining a bachelor’s degree
was a way for newly affluent families to enhance their social position.

Summarize the concept of the “Collegiate Ideal” during 1890 -1920.
Consider how the “college man” and/or “college woman” was
becoming an imposing figure in American higher education at the end
of the nineteenth century. How did this collegiate ideal help the
undergraduate college population increase? Analyze the political,
cultural and economic factors that were beneficial and challenging to
the stakeholders at higher education institutions.

significant event and topics. Chapters Four and Five provide several
different topics and events to choose from. For example, one
significant event could include the Quest for the Great American
University. It was an event when 14 university presidents from
institutions such as Harvard, Cornell, and Johns Hopkins met to form
the Association of American Universities. Another significant event
during this time frame was philanthropy on a large scale. This was
significant because it was the first time universities had a permanent
financial base. A few topics you may want to explore are:
§ Intercollegiate Sports
§ Women’s Colleges
§ Women and Coeducation
§ The “Collegiate Ideal” and Black Colleges
§ World War I and the Colleges

EDU 657 Week 4 DQ 1 Success and Excess
Success and Excess. Thelin (2011) mentioned that from World War I
to World War II, university and college enrollments increased
dramatically. However, the retention of students presented a challenge
during this time period. College administrators had some difficulty
managing students because of the expanded number of students being
enrolled. Discuss the role and responsibilities of faculty members
during this time. How have these roles and responsibilities changed
today? How have these stayed the same? Do you think that college
administrators and faculty members did the best they could to retain
their students? Why or why not? What could they have done better?

Course)
www.newtonhelp.com
Higher Education, 1920-1945.From 1920-1945, there was
significant expansion and reforms in higher education. Reflect upon
the opportunities to attend college for women during this time period.
Women made up about 40% of the undergraduate enrollments in
1940. This was remarkable considering that women were not
permitted to earn a bachelor’s degree just 60 years prior to 1940. Also
of significance were the women’s colleges of the privileged elite such
as Wellesley, Radcliffe, Smith, Vassar, and Barnard to name a few.
Examine colleges for women during this time period and compare

them to your educational experiences today. Consider the following
questions:
a. In what ways did women college students in this era (1920-1945)
influence the current generation of women college students?
b. What factors, conditions, and values influence present-day women
to enroll in women's colleges? Discuss each one.
c. What factors, conditions, and values influence present-day women
to enroll in coeducational colleges? Discuss each one.
d. If you were an employer, what would you see as the advantages
and disadvantages of a female graduate from a women's college?
Discuss each one.
e. Have your perceptions changed last 5 -10 years about your own
potential prospects for academic and professional advancement?

Gilt by Association. From 1945-1970, a new set of problems helped
to transform higher education. After 1949 there was an explosion of
enrollments due to governmental agencies that recognized that higher
education had been proven effective, even during the war. This led
them to create public policies at both the state and federal level.

Coming of Age in America. From 1970 -2000, most higher
education institutions encountered various challenges and issues.
Although higher education made an effective transition to mass
education access, it was more difficult to transition to universal
education access. In addition, because of the diversity of students who
were entering college higher education, higher education institutions
required tailoring. Discuss the impact of topics, trends, and events of
1970-2000 era on higher education. Explain the components that
contributed to the “Coming of Age” in American higher education.
