This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Maine State College and the University of Maine The loyalty and service of Dr. Fernald to the Uni versity surpass anything that mere words can express. He opened the institution in 1868. His ability and wisdom found expression in the early plans and courses. He had the pleasure of seeing it grow to a great power in the State-thus proving the worth of the foundation which he had laid. It is, therefore, no cause for wonder that he loved the University as he loved his own. Not very long before his death, the members of his family were discussing the question of buying a burial lot in Mount Hope Cemetery. He lis tened attentively to the discussion and closed it by say ing: You may do as you please. I shall be buried on the hill in the cemetery across the river from the Uni versity in sight of the buildings which I love and where I have lived and worked. Whether as professor, acting president, president, or professor emeritus, Dr. Fernald gave to the Univer siry of Maine the fine and superior service that his splendid character, his broad education, and his un usual personal qualities made possible. His was a nature of singular sweetness and kindness. His fellow men loved him. They knew that he was sound and true, and therefore they did not hesitate to anchor themselves to him. N 0 man ever connected with the University endeared himself to the students as did Dr. Fernald. The mention Of his name to a group of alumni always arouses great interest and brings sincere applause. He has passed from us but he has left an enduring monument in the great institution to which he devoted his life and of which he was a part from its beginning to the day of his departure.

Download or read book University of Southern Maine written by Joyce K. Bibber and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2001-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the University of Southern Maine has existed under that name for less than a quarter century, its roots lie much deeper-in a normal school begun at Gorham in 1878; a junior college opened in Portland in 1933; and a business school, which lasted only from 1921 to 1925, but whose charter was revived two decades later to become Maine's only law school. Each of these roots underwent changes, and the alumni magazine now includes nine different seals across its news pages. The mergers of the founding institutions, plus the later development of new programs and the addition of new colleges, have made it a true university with the largest student enrollment of any educational institution in the state.

Download or read book Mismatch written by Richard Sander and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate over affirmative action has raged for over four decades, with little give on either side. Most agree that it began as noble effort to jump-start racial integration; many believe it devolved into a patently unfair system of quotas and concealment. Now, with the Supreme Court set to rule on a case that could sharply curtail the use of racial preferences in American universities, law professor Richard Sander and legal journalist Stuart Taylor offer a definitive account of what affirmative action has become, showing that while the objective is laudable, the effects have been anything but. Sander and Taylor have long admired affirmative action's original goals, but after many years of studying racial preferences, they have reached a controversial but undeniable conclusion: that preferences hurt underrepresented minorities far more than they help them. At the heart of affirmative action's failure is a simple phenomenon called mismatch. Using dramatic new data and numerous interviews with affected former students and university officials of color, the authors show how racial preferences often put students in competition with far better-prepared classmates, dooming many to fall so far behind that they can never catch up. Mismatch largely explains why, even though black applicants are more likely to enter college than whites with similar backgrounds, they are far less likely to finish; why there are so few black and Hispanic professionals with science and engineering degrees and doctorates; why black law graduates fail bar exams at four times the rate of whites; and why universities accept relatively affluent minorities over working class and poor people of all races. Sander and Taylor believe it is possible to achieve the goal of racial equality in higher education, but they argue that alternative policies -- such as full public disclosure of all preferential admission policies, a focused commitment to improving socioeconomic diversity on campuses, outreach to minority communities, and a renewed focus on K-12 schooling -- will go farther in achieving that goal than preferences, while also allowing applicants to make informed decisions. Bold, controversial, and deeply researched, Mismatch calls for a renewed examination of this most divisive of social programs -- and for reforms that will help realize the ultimate goal of racial equality.
Download or read book For the Common Good written by Charles Dorn and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are colleges and universities in a period of unprecedented disruption? Is a bachelor's degree still worth the investment? Are the humanities coming to an end? What, exactly, is higher education good for? In For the Common Good, Charles Dorn challenges the rhetoric of America's so-called crisis in higher education by investigating two centuries of college and university history. From the community college to the elite research university—in states from California to Maine—Dorn engages a fundamental question confronted by higher education institutions ever since the nation's founding: Do colleges and universities contribute to the common good? Tracking changes in the prevailing social ethos between the late eighteenth and early twenty-first centuries, Dorn illustrates the ways in which civic-mindedness, practicality, commercialism, and affluence influenced higher education's dedication to the public good. Each ethos, long a part of American history and tradition, came to predominate over the others during one of the four chronological periods examined in the book, informing the character of institutional debates and telling the definitive story of its time. For the Common Good demonstrates how two hundred years of political, economic, and social change prompted transformation among colleges and universities—including the establishment of entirely new kinds of institutions—and refashioned higher education in the United States over time in essential and often vibrant ways.
