"First" Public Junior Colleges in an Age of Reform.

Ratcliff, James L.

Journal of Higher Education, v58 n2 p151-80 Mar-Apr 1987

Case histories of three "first" municipal two-year colleges were used to examine the relative influence of nationally recognized junior college advocates and of local political, social, and economic factors on college founding. Specific relationships were identified between college founding and other educational, political, and social reforms. (Author/ MLW)
