解説
In 1904, Edmund J. James inherited the leadership of an educational institution in search of an identity. His sixteen-year tenure transformed the University of Illinois from an industrial college to a major state university that fulfilled his vision of a center for scientific investigation.
Winton U. Solberg and J. David Hoeveler provide an account of a pivotal time in the university's evolution. A gifted intellectual and dedicated academic reformer, James began his tenure facing budget battles and antagonists on the Board of Trustees. But as time passed, he successfully campaigned to address the problems faced by women students, expand graduate programs, solidify finances, create a university press, reshape the library and faculty, and unify the colleges of liberal arts and sciences. Combining narrative force with exhaustive research, the authors illuminate the political milieu and personalities around James to draw a vivid portrait of his life and times.
The authoritative conclusion to a four-part history, Edmund J. James and the Making of the Modern University of Illinois, 1904-1920 tells the story of one man's mission to create a university worthy of the state of Illinois.
