<p>This study examines how undergraduate courses of instruction were determined and why the registration system of choosing courses, called the “group system,” was adopted in Cornell University and Johns Hopkins University, with following two hypotheses: 1) these universities introduced the group system to prepare students for postgraduate studies, presupposing the educational ladder from secondary via undergraduate to postgraduate education; 2) the founding presidents of the universities introduced the group system because they opposed the free elective system in use at Harvard, and designed their systems based on ideas on the course of instruction found in Yale’s Reports of 1828.</p><p>Previous studies interpret this period as the emergence of “American Universities” with specialization of undergraduate courses as a transformation from classical English-style colleges to German-like universities, and Johns Hopkins and Cornell were thought as pioneers of this transformation, following Harvard. However, it is also likely that both founding presidents, Daniel C. Gilman and Andrew D.

To support these conclusions, this paper examines the following materials: Annual Catalogues, Annual President’s Reports, and articles written by the two founding presidents.
