What are these institutions called junior colleges? Why did they originate and why do their numbers continue to increase? What are their purposes, aims and philosophies? Are they fulfilling their destiny in Florida? These are questions which have been uppermost in the mind of the writer since he first entered a junior college as a student in 1935 and as a member of a junior college faculty in 1940. In the following paper he has made an honest effort to answer to some satisfaction these questions. It is obvious that a final answer is not possible, for in the field of education in the United States there is no institution which is changing more than the junior college. / Typescript. / "May, 1949." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts under Plan II." / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 39-40).

The problem of this study was to determine whether it is more desirable to operate a two-year college in the Dallas metropolitan area as a county college or to operate a two-year college under the administration of the Dallas Independent School District.

The present research studied the differences in student characteristics and perceptions of the college environment between junior college students classified in three ways: level of satisfaction with the college environment, educational classification (transfer or terminal student) and sex of student. Secondary problems of the study were the following: 1. To determine the relationship between students' ratings of satisfaction with the college environment and perceived self-college similarity. 2. To determine the relationship between students' potential for dropping out of college and perceived self-college similarity and college-ideal college similarity. 3. To determine the difference in mean scores of satisfaction with the college environment between transfer and terminal students. 4. To construct profiles of male and female transfer and terminal students based on responses to a guidance questionnaire.
