“The reader may find the title of this excellent volume too modest for the rich presentation of American educational history it offers. Much more than a shaping of that historical record, the educational facts presented gain a special resonance from the richness of the social and economic background against which the history unfolds.”--
Change 作者简介 Arthur M. Cohen is professor emeritus of higher education and organizational change at the University of California Los Angeles and editor-in-chief of the journal New Directions for Community Colleges. His previous books include The American Community College from Jossey-Bass.

--This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Clark Kerr, president emeritus, University of California "A magnum opus--in size, in topics and issues covered, in literature mastered. . . . a well written, smooth flowing, balanced comment."
--This text refers to the Hardcover edition. Arthur Levine, president, Teachers College, Columbia University "I've been waiting for this book for more than a decade. The highly regarded histories of American higher education have become badly dated. They ignore the last quarter century when American higher education was transformed. Arthur Cohen does the nation's colleges and universities a much-needed service by authoring this volume."
--This text refers to the Hardcover edition. John V. Lombardi, president, University of Florida "Arthur Cohen has produced a superb history of American higher education. Masterful, authoritative, comprehensive, and incisive, this work will stand as the classic required resource for all who want to understand where American higher education came from and where it is going."
