Very insightful.<br /><br />I cross posted at Free Republic. <br /><br />http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2328084/posts<br /><br />I add the following: The popularity and popular access to colleges developed in early Progressive era for example with Land Grant Colleges under Hatch Act of 1887 and the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. At the same time in the Ivy League modern educational theorists began using grades rather than connections as criteria for entry. That directly resulted in a strong anti-Jew backlash in the twenties, and a return to "legacy" admission policies that lasted until just after the end of WWII. That's when the second and stronger phase of "standard" based college admissions began, based on standardized testing that included "IQ" -- all from experiences in testing, training and allocating recruits during WWII.<br /><br />In general remarkable social trends of the fifties and sixties are nearly always found to have precedents in the early 1900's -- for example: suburbia, popular enrollment in colleges, shopping centers and others.bvwnoreply@blogger.com
