Download or read book Wesleyan University 1910 1970 written by David B. Potts and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Homer D. Babbidge Jr. (2016) In Wesleyan University, 1910–1970, David B. Potts presents an engaging story that includes a measured departure from denominational identity, an enterprising acquisition of fabulous wealth, and a burst of enthusiastic aspirations that initiated an era of financial stress. Threaded through these episodes is a commitment to social service that is rooted in Methodism and clothed in more humanistic garb after World War II. Potts gives an unprecedented level of attention to the board of trustees and finances. These closely related components are now clearly introduced as major shaping forces in the development of American higher education. Extensive examination is also given to student and faculty roles in building and altering institutional identity. Threaded throughout these probes within in the analytical narrative is a close look at the waxing and waning of presidential leadership. All these developments, as is particularly evident in the areas of student demography and faculty compensation, travel on a pathway through middle-class America. Within this broad context, Wesleyan becomes a window on how the nation’s liberal arts colleges survived and thrived during the last century. This book concludes the author’s analysis of changes in institutional identities that shaped the narrative for his widely praised first volume, Wesleyan University, 1831–1910: Collegiate Enterprise in New England. His current fully evidenced sequel supplies helpful insights and reference points as we encounter the present fiscal strain in higher education and the related debates on institutional mission.

Download or read book Williamstown and Williams College written by Dustin Griffin and published by . This book was released on 2023-05-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed as a sequel to Williamstown and Williams College: Explorations in Local History, published in 2018 by the University of Massachusetts Press, and Williamstown and Williams College: Further Explorations in Local History, published by Blurb in 2021. As in Dustin Griffin's former volumes, it is a collection of microhistories, each sharply focused on a single topic in the history of Williamstown and Williams College. As in Griffin's earlier volumes, the essays are arranged in three sections: those that concern the history of the town; those that treat a topic that involves both town and college; and those that concern some episode in the history of the college. They are based on the premise that digging deep is a way to illuminate a particular topic and at the same time to reveal the underlying character of both town and college. Three of the final group of essays treat the history of individual Williams College presidencies. Based on documentary research, Williamstown and Williams College: Volume III, like its predecessors, is designed to be accessible to the general reader. It will be of great interest to those who live in Williamstown, but requires no special knowledge and will thus appeal to the town's many visitors, and to anybody with a connection to Williams College.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I recommend a book by Professor Williams, it is really worth a read, it's called White Working Class." -- Vice President Joe Biden on Pod Save America An Amazon Best Business and Leadership book of 2017 Around the world, populist movements are gaining traction among the white working class. Meanwhile, members of the professional elite—journalists, managers, and establishment politicians--are on the outside looking in, left to argue over the reasons. In White Working Class, Joan C. Williams, described as having "something approaching rock star status" by the New York Times, explains why so much of the elite's analysis of the white working class is misguided, rooted in class cluelessness. Williams explains that many people have conflated "working class" with "poor"--but the working class is, in fact, the elusive, purportedly disappearing middle class. They often resent the poor and the professionals alike. But they don't resent the truly rich, nor are they particularly bothered by income inequality. Their dream is not to join the upper middle class, with its different culture, but to stay true to their own values in their own communities--just with more money. While white working-class motivations are often dismissed as racist or xenophobic, Williams shows that they have their own class consciousness. White Working Class is a blunt, bracing narrative that sketches a nuanced portrait of millions of people who have proven to be a potent political force. For anyone stunned by the rise of populist, nationalist movements, wondering why so many would seemingly vote against their own economic interests, or simply feeling like a stranger in their own country, White Working Class will be a convincing primer on how to connect with a crucial set of workers--and voters.
