	William R. Harper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the age of eight, Harper began preparing for college level courses; at the age of ten he enrolled in Muskingum College in his native New Concord, Ohio; and at the age of fourteen he graduated from Muskingum.
		One of Harper's ideas, that students should be able to study the first two year's of college in their own communities to be better prepared for the rigors of college, helped lead to the creation of the community college system in the United States.
		Harper died on January 10, 1906 of cancer at the age of forty-nine.

	An Urgent Call to Improve Traditional College Algebra Programs
		Mercedes McGowen (William Rainey Harper College) and Steve Dunbar (University of Nebraska) drew upon the 2000 CBMS survey and long-term studies at their individual institutions to examine demographic profiles of students in college algebra and precalculus.
		College Algebra, according to the 2000 CBMS survey, has the largest enrollment — approximately 400,000 students (Fall, 2000) - of any credit bearing mathematics course, being approximately equal to the combined enrollments in all calculus courses.
		A traditional role for College Algebra along with Precalculus is to launch students into calculus; however less than 10% of College Algebra students enter Calculus I. Furthermore the combined enrollments in College Algebra and Precalculus have grown approximately 32% since 1980 while the Calculus I enrollments have remained relatively constant.
