Going to College in the Sixties
by John R. ThelinThe 1960s was the most transformative decade in the history of American higher education—but not for the reasons you might think.Picture going to college in the sixties: the protests and marches, the teach-ins and sit-ins, the drugs, sex, and rock 'n' roll—hip, electric, psychedelic. Not so fast, says bestselling historian John R. Thelin. Even at radicalized campuses, volatile student demonstrations coexisted with the "business as usual" of a flagship state university: athletics, fraternities and sororities, and student government.In Going to College in the Sixties, Thelin reinterprets the campus world shaped during one of the most dramatic decades in American history. Reconstructing all phases of the college experience, Thelin explores how students competed for admission, paid for college in an era before Pell Grants, dealt with crowded classes and dormitories, voiced concerns about the curriculum, grappled with new tensions in big-time college sports, and overcame discrimination. Thelin augments his anecdotal experience with a survey of landmark state and federal policies and programs shaping higher education, a chronological look at media coverage of college campuses over the course of the decade, and an account of institutional changes in terms of curricula and administration.Combining student memoirs, campus publications, oral histories, and newsreels, along with archival sources and institutional records, the book goes beyond facile stereotypes about going to school in the sixties. Grounded in social and political history, with a scope that will appeal both to a new generation of scholars and to alumni of the era, this engaging book allows readers to consider "going to college" in both the past and the present.
Going to College: How Social, Economic, and Educational Factors Influence the Decisions Students Make
by Don Hossler Jack Schmit Nick VesperGoing to College tells the powerful story of how high school students make choices about postsecondary education. Drawing on their unprecedented nine-year study of high school students, the authors explore how students and their parents negotiate these important decisions. Family background, finances, education, information—all influence students' plans after high school and the career paths they pursue, as do the more subtle messages delivered by parents and counselors which shape adolescents' self-expectations. For high school guidance counselors, college admissions counselors, parents and teachers, and public policy makers, this book is a valuable resource that explains the decision-making process and helps adults to help students make appropriate choices.The authors identify predisposition, search, and choice as the three stages in the student decision-making process. Predisposition refers to the plans students develop for education or work after they graduate from high school. The search stage involves students discovering and evaluating a variety of colleges and universities. In the choice stage, students choose a school to attend from among a list of institutions that are being seriously considered. Understanding exactly how students move through the predisposition, search, and choice stages of the college decision-making process can help students and parents prepare themselves for this process and consider a wider array of options. For education professionals, understanding this process can lead to new initiatives to guide students and families effectively—by providing better incentives for college savings, for example, or devising more effective early information programs about postsecondary education.Going to College is the first book to seriously study over an extended period the decisions that have a pervasive and lasting impact on individual careers, livelihoods, and lifestyles. The authors conclude with important recommendations for improving academic support, exploring various financial options, providing early encouragement—in other words, for recognizing the factors that influence students' decisions, and knowing when to pay attention to them.

Going to School in 1876
by John J. LoeperTen-year-old Jim Porter lives in Broxbury, Massachusetts. He does chores before breakfast and before going to school. School begins at eight o'clock. And by law Jim must attend for twelve weeks a year. Patrick Doherty is also ten years old. He works ten hours a day, six days a week in a coal mine. His only school is one run by the church, which he attends on Sunday. The Millville Academy is in the home of Mathias Wilson, the schoolmaster. Parents pay Mr. Wilson one hundred and eighty dollars a year for each child. He claims to teach all branches of science and classical learning. School is held six days a week and there are vacations in December and August. Miss Robin's school in Nebraska is a sod hut. Six pupils go to the school. In spring wildflowers bloom out of the sod bricks. The time is 1876. The United States is one hundred years old and most states have laws that say all children must go to school. But the students learn reading, writing and arithmetic and not much more. For some, school is a matter of a few days a year. For others there is no real school at all. Yet education is becoming more important, and our schools today grew out of the school systems that were beginning then. This book is designed as a companion to the author's Going to School in 1776 and shows how much schools had changed in the country's first one hundred years.
