520 _aEnrollments in colleges and universities suddenly doubled at the end of World War II as a result of the provisions of the G.I. Bill. Administrators were deeply involved in study and planning to cope with the tremendous job immediately ahead. The task of securing facilities alone--Quonset huts, empty army barracks, and other surplus properties -involved many changes in Federal laws and regulations. In addition, recruiting and preparing additional faculty, reshaping the curriculum, securing funds, and other challenges were faced and dealt with by the total academic community. Since then, the influential events of this quarter century have continued to challenge those responsible for higher education.
