History Of

This chapter provides a detailed and extensive assessment of the United States of America’s (USA) high participation systems (HPS) of higher education. It considers the history of higher education, system development, and the present condition of higher education in the country. The USA was the first HPS and the American system remains globally influential. Higher education in the USA is a massive enterprise, defined by both excellent and dubious providers, broad inclusion, and steep inequality. The chapter further examines higher education in the USA in light of the seventeen HPS propositions. Perhaps more so than any other system, the American HPS conforms to the propositions. Notably, higher education in the USA is both more diverse horizontally, and stratified vertically, than most other HPS.

The Relationship

Research in Japan and the United States has demonstrated that learning and memory may be improved when individuals are permitted to choose materials to be learned. In Japanese studies, the effects appear to be limited to the specific materials actually chosen, whereas in the United States, choice enhances recall of chosen as well as other materials that are later assigned. In the United States, personal choice has been hypothesized to affect both the learner's relationship to the chosen materials as well as motivation; in Japan personal choice affects the relationship between the learner and the chosen materials. Apparently the consequences of choice may vary in these cultures.

The Tropics

In the meadows and pastures of the temperate regions and the tropics, trees flourish when surrounded by communities of grasses and herbs. Such grassland is, with few exceptions, an artificial product, created by man from areas originally forest, and maintained in its present condition by such agencies as grazing, cropping, mowing and manuring. If left to themselves most of the meadows and pastures on the earth’s surface would soon revert to the original forest, the rate depending on a number of circumstances, including the nature of the weapons possessed by the trees in suppressing the grasses and herbs. In the tropics, where pastures are much fewer than in the temperate zone, grassland after enclosure becomes covered by shrubs and trees with remarkable rapidity. Although trees soon oust grasses from the habitat under conditions of free competition, nevertheless cases occur in which grass is able to suppress certain species of trees. One such example has recently been investigated in great detail in Great Britain by the Duke of Bedford and the late Mr. S. U. Pickering. At the Woburn Experiment Station fruit trees such as apples, pears, plums and cherries failed to flourish under grass on a heavy clay soil. Similar results have been obtained in the United States and also on the Gangetic alluvium at Pusa.
