Abstract:

Early in the 20th Century a number of State Schools were established in New York State under the Board of Regents, and State Education Department.

Schools developing after this period included six State Schools of Agriculture. Normal Schools for training teachers, and later the specialized schools in medicine, forestry, and other areas.

Following World War II, the Community College concept was developed and a philosophy was accepted in the state to provide two-year colleges to be located within commuting distance of all students.
