An important growth in the number of colleges occurred at the beginning of the 20th century, supported in part by nine philanthropic foundations: Ford, the founder of the Ford Motor Company; Rockefeller, founder of the Standard Oil Company; Russell Sage, financier and railroad executive; Carnegie, industrialist who led the expansion of the American steel industry; Danforth, founder of the Ralston Purina Company; Kelogg, American industrialist in food manufacturing; Eli Lilly, founder of American global pharmaceutical corporation and Mott, industrialist and partner in the creation of the General Motors Corporation who endowed many of these institutions. The philanthropic foundations were created as a mean of attack on the causes of social problems in order to “improve” the human condition by hiding their true purpose which is to selfishly follow the interests of the higher and ruling class of the American society. That is why it can be proven that since 1900; the role of the higher education system in North America is to establish the key mechanisms of social control shaped by the agenda and the ambitions of a ruling class. This research will explore the history and the various goals of these foundations reserved for the education system. The history of the Modern schooling system is crucial to understand the reasons and the consequences of a private financing of the education. The second part will discuss the psychological and social consequences such as the number of dropouts and the perpetuation of racial inequalities created with such a system on the general population. Finally, this essay will end with a suggestion of a system that promotes free thought, mutual aid, creativity and self-discovery.
