Description

Explore the foundational debates of the university age in Perspectives on the History of Higher Education: Volume 26, 2007. Published by Routledge, this volume examines the shifting purposes of academic institutions through historical lenses that remain relevant to modern discussions. The collection begins with an analysis by A. J. Angulo regarding the early years of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This section recreates the controversy surrounding MIT's founding, looking at how the institution was viewed by defenders of classical liberal education who saw it as an inferior alternative. Additionally, the volume includes a reappraisal by George Levesque of Yale president Noah Porter (1870-1886). By studying these contrasting views, readers gain a deeper understanding of the tensions between different educational philosophies. This book serves as a valuable resource for those studying the evolution of higher learning and the historical roots of current academic debates.
