Description

To Advance Knowledge traces the transformation of American research universities from provincial institutions to world leaders in scientific inquiry during the first four decades of the twentieth century. This groundbreaking study by Routledge examines how universities systematically incorporated research as a core mission after 1900, reshaping the landscape of American science. The work explores the preconditions essential to this institutional evolution, including the formation of academic disciplines and the infrastructure that enabled cutting-edge research. By 1940, these universities had established themselves as centres of excellence in critical scientific fields, fundamentally supporting American scientific supremacy. Essential reading for historians of higher education, scholars of American intellectual history, and those interested in understanding how institutional structures shape scientific progress and knowledge advancement.
