Mississippi State University in 1966.
Since coming to A&M in 1971, he
has received major support for his
work from the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station and recently
was awarded additional funds from
Health, Education and Welfare
(HEW’s) National Institute of Edu
cation .
His studies include long-term re
views of the careers of people who
were high school sophomores in
1966.
Over the years, the research has
expanded to compare high school
students of the early 1970s and late
1960s; to examine the role of women
in agricultural colleges (28 per cent
of agriculture students are female);
of urban students (half the agricul
ture enrollment comes from cities);
and of blacks (who have a dispro
portionately lower percentage of
students enrolled in agricultural col
leges) .
More than 200 papers, articles and
book chapters by various researchers
have been produced by the studies
which cover thousands of students
from 100 Texas and Deep South high
schools. Forty Southern universities
with agricultural programs, includ
ing Prairie View A&M, also partici
pate .
Cosby says that the positive influ
ence of encouragement in high
school often stays with the students.
‘Those who wanted more education
tended to get it.”
A high sense of optimism also
seems to he a factor. Youth in their
mid-20s tended to retain the high
achievement goals they had in high
school, although attainment of the
goals seemed realistically impossi
ble.
Research shows that youth in
Texas and the Deep South increas-
ingly prefer to reside in rural areas,
