The Bureau of Education's Suppressed Rating of Colleges, 1911-1912.

Webster, David S.

History of Education Quarterly, v24 n4 p499-511 Win 1984

The first academic quality ranking of American colleges and universities was produced by the U.S. Bureau of Education in 1911. The institutions were stratified into five levels according to their presumed quality. However, because protests led to this work's being suppressed before its official publication, very little is known about it. (RM)
