Description

Explore the evolution of American higher education with To Advance Knowledge: The Growth of American Research Universities, 1900-1940. This Routledge publication examines how American research universities became the foundation for the supremacy of American science. While these institutions emerged in the late nineteenth century, the book tracks how the incorporation of research as a distinct part of their mission took place largely after 1900. This study follows the transformation of these institutions from provincial outposts into global leaders in critical areas of science by 1940. It provides a systematic examination of the preconditions required for a university to develop a research role. Readers will learn about the formation of academic disciplines and the structural changes that allowed these universities to advance the boundaries of human knowledge. This is an essential resource for those studying the history of science and the development of the American academic landscape.
