Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Higher Education in Pennsylvania The college buildings, located on a beautiful campus of 13 acres, are four in number, al'l constructed of brick. Bentley Hall, erected during the presidency of Dr. Alden, consists of a central building three stories in height and two wings of two stories each, besides a basement, which was until recently used for laboratories and shops. The building is devoted to class rooms, society halls, and the office of the president. Ruter Hall, completed in 1855, is a large three-story building which contains the chapel, the library of volumes, and the museum, comprising a collection of specimens of unusual value for the study of geology, mineralogy, and natural history. Hulings Hall, constructed in 1881 by gifts from Marcus Hulings, of Oil City, and citizens of Meadville, is a large four-story dormitory, with accommo dation for 60 young women. The Wilcox Hall of Science, the gift of the late Robertson Wilcox, of Girard, was completed in 1893. It is 61 by 45 feet and three stories in height, and contains lecture rooms and laboratories well adapted to instruction in science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the compelling saga of American higher education from the founding of Harvard College in 1636 to the outbreak of World War II. The author traces how colleges and universities were shaped by the shifting influences of culture, the emergence of new career opportunities, and the unrelenting advancement of knowledge. He describes how colonial colleges developed a unified yet diverse educational tradition capable of weathering the social upheaval of the Revolution as well as the evangelical fervor of the Second Great Awakening. He shows how the character of college education in different regions diverged significantly in the years leading up to the Civil War - for example, the state universities of the antebellum South were dominated by the sons of planters and their culture - and how higher education was later revolutionized by the land-grant movement, the growth of academic professionalism, and the transformation of campus life by students. By the beginning of the Second World War, the standard American university had taken shape, setting the stage for the postwar education boom. The author moves through each era, exploring the growth of higher education.

Download or read book American Higher Education Since World War II written by Roger L. Geiger and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A masterful history of the postwar transformation of American higher education In the decades after World War II, as government and social support surged and enrollments exploded, the role of colleges and universities in American society changed dramatically. Roger Geiger provides an in-depth history of this remarkable transformation, taking readers from the GI Bill and the postwar expansion of higher education to the social upheaval of the 1960s and 1970s, desegregation and coeducation, and the ascendancy of the modern research university. He demonstrates how growth has been the defining feature of modern higher education, but how each generation since the war has pursued it for different reasons. Sweeping in scope and richly insightful, this groundbreaking book provides the context we need to understand the complex issues facing our colleges and universities today, from rising inequality and skyrocketing costs to deficiencies in student preparedness and lax educational standards.
