Excerpt from Higher Education in Indiana, Vol. 10 The direct work Of the State in higher learning is to be especially noticed. The most interesting phase in the history and development of edu cation in the West is to be seen in the attitude of the State. There never has been a time when the right of government to provide for education Of some kind has been called in question by any considerable body of thinking people. Both the elementary and the higher educa tion were provided for by many Of the early colonies, especially by those of New England. And from the time of the first land grant for common school purposes by the Congress of 1785, State aid to education has been an acknowledged principle of the American people - even those Of the most conservative individualism conceding, in some measure, the right and duty of the State to educate.
