Abstract

As a nation we pride ourselves that half our our high school graduates enter college. Yet many of these people will not graduate. Moreover, five years from now nearly 70 percent of all jobs will probably require at least two years of college education. We note that in the early 1950's about 11 percent of all college students were in junior colleges. Now about one million students are enrolled in two-year institutions; this represents about 20 percent of all students in college and about twice the number in teachers’ colleges. With the help of local, state, and federal funds junior colleges are growing very rapidly. It is clear that junior colleges play a vitally important role in our program of higher education.
