In Chapter One, Thelin (2011) mentioned nine surviving colleges founded before 1781: Harvard, William and Mary, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, Rutgers, and Pennsylvania. Many feel that these colleges stand out as quality higher education institutions that have acquired prestige and longevity. Do you agree with these viewpoints? Consider how these colleges influenced perceptions of higher education today. What about the quality of education then and online learning now? Relate how these trends and events still impact higher education today. Colonial Revival Colleges. Thelin (2011) noted that the English universities Oxford and Cambridge greatly influenced early American higher education. In addition, Oxford and Cambridge were autonomous, privately endowed and linked to a federation. The “collegiate system” of combining learning and living was a seminal plan for higher education that college founders tried to capture for the American colonies. Discuss the various ways in which early American Colonial colleges did "not" emulate or resisted replicating the Oxford-Cambridge ideal. Describe the reasons for these changes and what the change agents were. Consider important factors such as college funding, curriculum, religion, architecture and the student population .What is your opinion about the changes? Do you feel that the established political powers should have taken a different direction or kept some of the key elements of the Oxford-Cambridge ideal? Explain why or why not. Reflective Journal. Critically reflect on the personal impact of the foundations of education. Reflect on a time when you studied about the history of the Colonial Era in grade school, middle school, high school or college. What surprised you to discover about higher education during the Colonial era? Have your perceptions changed as a result of examining a few of the historical, political, ethical and/or economic foundations of higher education during this timeframe? How has this knowledge impacted your perceptions and experiences about higher education? Summarize how this information will change your teaching. Colonial Higher Education, 1636-1784. In Chapter One, Thelin (2011) described the influences of several topics and issues in higher education during the Colonial era. Choose a historical, political, ethical and/or economic issue under one of the following topics: § Governance and structure § College finances § Religion and the college § Philanthropy § The curriculum § Student diversity and experimentation § The limits of instructional purpose and educational mission Describe and provide examples for the topic you selected and how it influenced higher education during the Colonial era. In addition, please include how the same topic influences higher education today. Consider current and different perspectives on this topic today. Moreover, include and answer the following questions: a. Describe the most important factors of this issue both past and present. b. Examine some of the complexities of this issue both past and present. c. Evaluate some of the challenges of this issue that you feel need to be addressed today. Your paper should be two- to three- pages in length (not including the title and reference pages) and written in APA format. Cite at least one reference, in addition to the textbook. Remember to cite all references using APA style. Creating the American Way. Medical schools during this time represented a good example of American society’s enchantment for education without the overly strict rules and standards. Reflect on the role of Medical Colleges in higher education during the first half of the nineteenth century. Consider the educational preparation and requirements for medical doctors during this era. How do you feel that differs today? What influences are still impacting higher education today with regards to new educational programs and innovations? Consider the role that government regulation and accountability plays in higher education. How do you feel America’s approach to higher education building might change in the next 5- 10 years? Resilience in American Higher Education. Large scale philanthropy contributors who offered substantial gifts such as foundations, trusts, and estates were necessary to higher education budgets in order to pay for salaries, services and the construction of new buildings. The transformation of philanthropy in American higher education was the coming together of industry and religion in what was termed the “Protestant work ethic.” Discuss why this was important to wealthy entrepreneurs. From your readings, what challenges do current higher education institutions face with regards to funding? What are some of the possible solutions to these challenges? Do you believe it is still important today? Do you believe this work ethic perspective has changed in higher education today? Higher Education, 1785-1890. Your readings described the influences of several topics about National Themes and Local Initiatives in Higher education. Select one topic area from this list.

Your paper should be two- to three- pages in length (not including the title and reference pages) and written in APA format. At a minimum, use one external source, in addition to the course text.
