Peer reviewedEdwards, E. G.; Roberts, I. J. – Higher Education Review, 1980
Looking back on enrollment trends in higher education in Britain since 1800, this study examines the trend toward expansion and the philosophy behind such expansion. A statistical model is developed for enrollment trends, and recent literature on enrollment is examined in light of the model presented. (MSE)
