Description

This volume examines pivotal moments in higher education history, opening with A. J. Angulo's account of MIT's founding and the controversy surrounding its establishment as an alternative to classical liberal education. The book includes George Levesque's detailed reappraisal of Yale president Noah Porter during his tenure from 1870-1886, exploring how institutional leaders shaped educational philosophy. Published by Routledge in 2007, this scholarly work offers historians, educators, and students of academic development critical perspectives on how foundational debates about the purpose and direction of universities continue to influence educational policy and practice today.

Key Features

Volume 26 of the Perspectives series provides scholarly analysis of higher education history with contributions from established academic researchers.

A. J. Angulo's chapter recreates the founding controversy surrounding MIT and its rejection by traditional college defenders as inferior.

George Levesque's reappraisal of Yale president Noah Porter (1870-1886) offers fresh historical insight into nineteenth-century educational leadership.

Published by Routledge in 2007, the book appeals to academics studying institutional history and the evolution of American universities.

The collection connects historical debates about educational purpose to contemporary discussions in higher education policy and reform.
