- W130196431 abstract "Histories of higher learning in the United States have tended to fall into three kinds of categories: institutional studies, large syntheses, or thematic analyses. Institutional studies often provide chronological accounts of development, exhibiting little critical analysis, but exceptions do exist.' Large syntheses have explored change in higher education; most have focused on the elite institutions.2 Thematic analyses have included studies of campus culture; the relationship among professionalism, middle-class aspirations, and increases in enrollment in the twentieth century; student populations; women's participation in higher learning; and the role of philanthropic foundations and the federal government in university research.3 Richard Freeland's contribution falls into the third category and is one of the rare works exploring academia's recent history.4 Freeland characterizes the golden age of universities as that period in which student enrollments increased, accompanied by federal spending for academic research and tuition assistance, and in which university faculties grew more powerful. His study explores a paradox in recent higher educational history: increasing among students and the social purposes of universities concurrent with a decline in institutional diversity (p. 3). Even as universities expanded access, their attention to undergraduate education declined. As they dealt with a wider range of social and practical problems, they participated in the consolidation of an academic value system quite remote from most Americans, a value system based on the production of scholarship and the training of a new generation of professional academics (p. 3). To examine this paradox, Freeland analyzes eight higher educational institutions in the state of Massachusetts: Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the University of Massachusetts, Tufts, Boston University (BU), Boston College, Northeastern University, and Brandeis. By focusing his study on Massachusetts colleges and universities, Freeland" @default.
