Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the early years of the land-grant college system in America, a critical moment in higher education history. Congress passed the Morrill Act in 1862, establishing a new kind of education focused on industrial rather than classical subjects. The author discusses the impact of federal funding on education, the push and pull between 'liberal' and 'practical' arts, and the eventual development of research-focused universities. The author argues that the land-grant college system transformed American education, moving it away from an aristocratic model and towards a more democratic approach. This book is essential for understanding the evolution of higher education in the United States.
