The California Idea and American Higher Education

Description

"The author traces the social, political, and economic forces that shaped public higher education in California, and depicts its major personalities - such as David Starr Jordan, Benjamin Ide Wheeler, Hiram Johnson, Earl Warren, and Clark Kerr. The result is a carefully crafted history of California public higher education from statehood to the politics and economic forces that eventually resulted in the 1960 California Master Plan for Higher Education."--Jacket.
