Women were barred from colleges. Although academies for girls existed, their curricula were limited to such “female arts” as conversational French and embroidery. The seminary’s first class consisted of 90 girls from across the United States who enrolled in mathematics, science, history, foreign language, and literature courses. Willard herself not only served as an instructor but even wrote some of the school’s textbooks. Troy Female Seminary soon gained a reputation as an outstanding institution. It proved to those who were skeptical that women were just as capable as men of comprehending difficult subjects.

The growth in the 1970s reflected, at least in part, the enhanced role of states in education policy. In the academic year 1969–1970, the majority–53 percent–of the funding for schools came from local agencies; states contributed 39 percent and the federal government provided 8 percent. A decade later, however, the state share of education funding had increased to 47 percent, and state governments became the dominant source of funding for schools.

Community leaders worried that even with private charity schools, many children were missing out on an education. The children who needed instruction the most were those whose parents didn’t follow a religion, so they were unlikely to attend a church-run school. Members could join the Free School Society for eight dollars in annual dues; for twenty-five dollars, a member would be entitled to send one child to the Free School; and for forty dollars a member could send two children.

This law was essential to education because it provided federal funding to ensure well-trained teachers and to meet the national defense needs of the US. The NDEA authorized the use of over $1 billion over the course of seven years to improve science, math, and foreign language, classes. It established the legitimacy of federal funding of higher education and made funds available for low-cost student loans, which boosted public and private colleges and universities.
