available to support them. But this never was the case. The idea
that an ideal student or ideal college existed once upon a time is
nothing more than a myth. America’s colleges and universities
have always appealed to students with diverse interests and
levels of academic preparation, and resources have always had
to be negotiated. The challenge for us today is that our system
of higher education has grown exponentially over the past three
centuries—and growth continues. As the system grows, so do
the numbers of students who need additional support and
preparation.
Clark Kerr wrote, “An appreciation of the evolution of
higher education helps to develop perspective on contemporary
issues, since historical context often reveals that our present
problems are not all new ones” (as cited in Bullard, 2007, p. 12).
In other words, the realities faced by today’s college students
simply provide a contemporary spin on issues previously
encountered. A quick review of the history of higher education
reveals that changing student needs have always stretched the
system; and the system has, in turn, always adapted to accom-
modate the realities of the emergent student population. Even
going back to the founding of the nation’s first colleges in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries—when going to college
was a rarity except for those interested in the clergy—we find
that Harvard College provided tutors in Greek and Latin for
underprepared students (Institute for Higher Education
Policy, 1998).
Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, semi-
nal legislative efforts—including the Morrill Land-Grant Acts
of 1862 and 1890, the G.I. Bill of 1944, the Civil Rights Act of
1965, and the Higher Education Act of 1965—helped to make
