Thwing, Rev. Charles Franklin. History of higher education in America. **$3. Appleton.
“The story of the oldest and the newest foundations, the picture of the environing conditions in former and in later times, and of the advancing development, is given with many an enlivening touch of biographical notice and historical incident. Religious and ecclesiastical influences come into view together with the patriotic, scholarly, and scientific. The financial side of the history is not omitted, nor is the architectural. Of course the libraries and the graduate and professional schools have their appropriate chapters, and so do undergraduate affairs, including the Greek-letter societies and athletics. All this, however, is no mere chronicle: the lessons it yields are interwoven with it.”—Outlook.
“The book is conceived and executed in a large and generous spirit, combines accuracy and interest in an unusual degree, and is a notable addition to the literature of our educational history.” Edward O. Sisson.
