Community Colleges in Missouri: From Community Luxury to Economic and Social Necessity.
Farnsworth, Kent
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v21 n6 p571-81 Sep 1997
Reviews the development of community colleges in Missouri into a more integrated system since the first college was established in 1915. Emphasizes four events: enabling legislation in 1961, a shift in state oversight to postsecondary education in 1974, a 1990 change away from funding based on credit hours, and a decision to hire full time lobbying support.
