Book excerpt: In the summer of 1891, Orrin Leslie Elliott brings his wife and young son toSenator Stanford's Palo Alto Farm in Northern California to work for DavidStarr Jordan, president of the new university being established there. The Elliotts find their new surroundings to be bleak and isolated: collegebuildings that look like a factory, little or no housing, and a murky water supply.Nearby Mayfield is peopled with cowboys serviced by numerous saloons andprostitutes. With faculty still to be hired, textbooks to be ordered, anddormitories only half finished, plans to open the university in four months seemludicrous. This is the story of the founding of Stanford University, as seen through the eyesof the Elliotts, Dr. Jordan, and a sundry group of students. Rubin (Sosh)Weinberg is the only Jewish student in the class of 1895. Fletcher Martin, ex-U.S. Army officer, puts his life on the line for others. Sally Forrest, whose fatherwas slain by gunmen hired by the railroads, attempts to avenge her father'sdeath. Sam Cutter, a devious product of the streets of Chicago, performs acts ofchicanery-thievery, intrigue, and murder, including the tormenting of SoshWeinberg. The first volume in a trilogy, "1891" entertains and informs as it captures the dayto-day reality of life during Stanford University's early months.

Richly illustrated chapters cover the architectural history of notable Drexel buildings; the role of Drexel in Philadelphia’s modern history; its Greek life; sports—particularly Drexel’s history in the Big 5; and each of the university’s schools and colleges. There is a history of the medical college and law school, plus the creation of new schools such as those of biomedical engineering, science and health systems.

This commemorative volume shows the development of the university both in the city and in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of A People's Tragedy, an original reading of the Russian Revolution, examining it not as a single event but as a hundred-year cycle of violence in pursuit of utopian dreams In this elegant and incisive account, Orlando Figes offers an illuminating new perspective on the Russian Revolution. While other historians have focused their examinations on the cataclysmic years immediately before and after 1917, Figes shows how the revolution, while it changed in form and character, nevertheless retained the same idealistic goals throughout, from its origins in the famine crisis of 1891 until its end with the collapse of the communist Soviet regime in 1991. Figes traces three generational phases: Lenin and the Bolsheviks, who set the pattern of destruction and renewal until their demise in the terror of the 1930s; the Stalinist generation, promoted from the lower classes, who created the lasting structures of the Soviet regime and consolidated its legitimacy through victory in war; and the generation of 1956, shaped by the revelations of Stalin's crimes and committed to "making the Revolution work" to remedy economic decline and mass disaffection. Until the very end of the Soviet system, its leaders believed they were carrying out the revolution Lenin had begun. With the authority and distinctive style that have marked his magisterial histories, Figes delivers an accessible and paradigm-shifting reconsideration of one of the defining events of the twentieth century.
