The thoughtful expressions of Pat, Roy, and Jerry reflect the scholastic challenge to all Harding students. One of the outstanding features of our American way of life is the unique educational system that we have developed. For nearly two centuries, beginning with the establishment of Harvard in 1636, most of the colleges in our country were founded by religious groups. Near the beginning of the nineteenth century the state university movement began. Today approximately half of the college students attend private colleges and universities while the other half attend tax-supported institutions. Side by side there has developed a huge program of mass higher education and an outstanding graduate and professional program. Harding has made a distinct contribution through its program of American Studies which has become a model for similar programs in other colleges and universities.
