Development Of A Proposed Course Of Study In American History For The Senior High School, Floyd Gagnon

Masters Theses

Chapter I

Introduction

I. Importance and Statement of the Problem

In 1890 these schools were still the schools of the few, even though their enrollments had begun to grow rapidly. The high schools have continued their rapid growth until today today they present an extremely wide range of individual differences in such areas as interests, abilities and needs. Of the millions of students attending these schools today, probably six out of every seven will never attend college. It is thus apparent that …

A Study Of The Academic Success Of Veteran Former Probation Students In The College Of Arts And Sciences Of The University Of Louisville., Rollin E. Godfrey

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The University of Louisville, like most other universities, played an important role in World War II in the training of Service Men for active duty in the Navy, and now in the post-war era, finds herself taxed to the limit to provide educational facilities for her veteran students. To admit large numbers of students, whether veteran or non veteran, without some sort of screening process to identify those who obviously could not do college work would be wasteful of manpower and public moneys. The policy which the University has used for many years is known to be a valid procedure, …
