The idea of Wilson and Roosevelt weighing in on the higher education system by specifically comparing it to their time spent on campus in 1870-80s was amazing. Further, Wilson's quote as university president "the sideshow has taken over the circus" was very telling of the growth of the collegiate ideal. ]]> 2018-02-21 00:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bstocker/f477ivru4xo7/wish/233565299 https://padlet.com/bstocker/f477ivru4xo7/wish/235864148 This chapter was most fascinating for me learning how athletic departments originated. Even in the earliest days the disconnect between the leaders of the athletic department and college presidents and professors is incredible. When you look at what is going on with college men's basketball right now, the lack of institutional control was happening a long time ago.]]> 2018-02-27 14:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bstocker/f477ivru4xo7/wish/235864148 https://padlet.com/bstocker/f477ivru4xo7/wish/236463833 Learning about campus life and the components there-in was extremely interesting for me because this is an area that I have worked in for many years.  I manage student conduct and I found it interesting to learn how the “professionalism” of certain campus life areas evolved into what it is today.  However, the part that resonated most was the system of groups and projects being run by the students for the students; I find these types of groups tend to be the most impactful in the development and growth o the students. Currently, I work at a medical school with 1^st year medical students and the program I manage seems to revert back to this way of thinking.  The medical students create community based service learning projects and are responsible for all aspects of development and implementation. They have much more autonomy that a club or organization would.  There are certain basic parameters connected to government regulation and responsible financial management, but otherwise it is completely student run and managed. I find this is an appropriate way to help the medical students strengthen their skillset and increase their understanding of the needs within the community that they live and work in.

1)How intercollegiate sports gave rise to the system in place in the athletics department. 2)Learning about how the six most prestigious women's colleges were structured and focused on student affairs. 
3)How the collegiate ideal influenced the opposition of women and how they were treated in coeducational institutions. 
4)How black colleges weren't represented due to racial segregation within the collegiate ideal.
5) How the rise of WWI and WWII impacted enrollment rates and influenced the curriculum previously set in place.]]> 2018-03-07 22:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bstocker/f477ivru4xo7/wish/239428535
