This volume traces the development of the College Board as an organization and its varying attempts to adapt to the changing demands of society. The first major study of the history of the organization done in a half century, this book traces the College Board (the College Entrance Examination Board) from its origins as a set of admissions essays endorsed by some college presidents and headmasters in the east.
