Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to American Institutional History Written for This Series Mr. Freeman came to America in the fall of 1881, on the joint invitation of the Lowell Institute in Boston and of the Peabody Institute in Baltimore. The united influence of these two local institutions, representing the intellectual union of -Northern and Southern cities, was seconded by two other influences of a local character: first, by Mr. Freeman's natural desire to visit his own son, who married in Baltimore and who now lives upon a plantation in Virginia; secondly, by an ardent longing to see with his own eyes a New England Town Meeting, which, in the genealogy of local institutions, is a long-lost child of Old England and a grandchild of the Fatherland. The historian of "The English People in their Three Homes" regards the local institutions of the United States, North and South, as the historic offspring of England and Germany, as truly as his own name, once applied to all freemen of the English Colonies in America, is directly perpetuated by children and grandchildren in the Old Dominion, where he indulged what he pleasantly calls "old fatherly emotions towards the last-born bairn's bairn," and where, true to historical impulses, he began a "Virginia Domesday" in the old forms: "Freeman tenet; Bell tenuit Ante Guerram. Valebat ... dollarios; modo ... Waste fuit." With the grim humor of William the Conqueror, who, when he fell to the earth upon landing at Pevensey, grasped the soil and thus took seizin of England, Mr. Freeman describes his sons territorial conquest upon the shore of the Rapidan, "Potuit ire quo voluit cum ista terra, for the soil of the Old Dominion sticketh to the boots and is carried about hither and thither " This extract from a letter dated Somerleaze, Rapid Ann Depot, Culpeper County, Virginia, December 25th, 1881, needs no better commentary than the following extract from the Inquisitio Eliensis, Domesday, iii, 497 (or Stubb's Select Charters, 86): "Deinde quomodo vocatur man io, quis tenuit earn tempore Regis Eadwardi; quis modo tenet; ... quantum valebat totum simul; et quantum modo; ..." The suggestion of Domesday-forms came to Mr. Freeman not only from the history of Virginia land-tenure, but from Professor William F. Allen's paper on "The English Cottagers of the Middle Ages," a paper which had been sent Mr. Freeman in answer to his query "about a man in Wisconsin, who has written something about villainage - what a long way off to know about such things - how can I get it?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Institutions of the United States Several gentlemen interested in the Chautauqua gathering, and in the literary enterprises associated with it, have expressed a wish that the concluding chapters of my book on the American Commonwealth should be separately reprinted in a cheap form, so as to bring them within the reach of Chautauquan students and others who may not have leisure or opportunity to read the whole treatise. In acceding to their request, I have also promised to write a few sentences by way of introduction, explaining the relation of the above mentioned chapters to the rest of my book, and the aim with which they were composed. He who undertakes to describe the political system of a nation or state has a comparatively definite task before him, because it is pretty well understood what the term "politics" means and includes. The field is doubtless a wide one, but with sufficient time and pains it may be covered. To deal with those institutions of a country, those aspects of national life and character, which lie outside politics, is far more difficult, because the field is so wide that no one man pr book can hope to exhaust it. All industrial movements, all social movements, all religious movements, much of what is included under the terms Literature, Manners, Education, Science, Art, come within this field; and the business of selecting for treatment those which can be treated concisely and in obvious relation to one another is a problem which may well perplex a writer.

This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Institutional and Economic History During the early decades of the present century, Cincinnati was the most important commercial center of the West. In 1820, Chicago had not yet come into existence, St. Louis was a mere trader's settlement, and Louisville a modest town of some four thousand inhabitants. The traffic Of the entire region drained by the Mississippi river and its tributaries was transported by water, and Cincinnati was practically the only market in which the surplus products of the South and West could be exchanged for eastern and northern manufactures. The application of steam to river navigation in the decade between 1820 and 1830 greatly strengthened and developed these natural advantages. Louisville and St. Louis rose about the same time to commercial importance, but their competition only served to stimulate the growth of the older city. Population increased from in 1820 to 16i, o44 in 1860, and remained throughout this entire period the largest of any city west of the seaboard.1 Commercial relations ex tended from Pittsburgh to Fort Benton, Montana, and from St. Paul to New Orleans. Particularly with the South, as a result of advantageous location and intimate acquaintance with the tastes and habits of southern merchants, a large and profitable business was enjoyed.

Download or read book The American College and University A History written by Frederick Rudolph and published by Plunkett Lake Press. This book was released on 2021-12-26 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1962, this book remains one of the most significant works on the history of higher education in America. Bridging the chasm between educational and social history, it was one of the first to examine developments in higher education in the context of the social, economic, and political forces that were shaping the nation at large. Surveying higher education from the colonial era through the mid-20th century, Rudolph explores a multitude of issues from the financing of institutions and the development of curriculum to the education of women and blacks, the rise of college athletics, and the complexities of student life. In his foreword to this edition, John R. Thelin assesses the impact Rudolph’s work has had on higher education studies. The edition also includes a bibliographic essay by Thelin covering significant works in the field that have appeared since the publication of the first edition. “[A]n excellent book... a scholarly book, but one easy to read and always interesting.” — Francis Horn, The New York Times Book Review “A tour de force... The general reader as well as the historian of education will find in it the interesting story of America’s academic life, told with truth and originality” — Saturday Review “[An] important and widely celebrated book... it collects an enormous number of disparate sources... and weaves them into a history of American colleges and universities that is useful, even today, to both the scholar and the general reader... an exceptionally comprehensive book... it traces some three hundred years of the history of American colleges and universities from the 1636 founding of Harvard well into the twentieth century.” — David S. Webster, The Review of Higher Education “[Rudolph] has skillfully organized the results of his comprehensive research; he has a flair for catching the attention with a colorful incident or a memorable quotation; and he writes with a sprightly yet authoritative style. The result is an exceptionally readable account that the scholar will find a profitable addition to his library. The book should appeal, too, to the general reader with a non-professional interest in American higher education, and in how it developed, and why.” — David Madsen, History of Education Quarterly “The American College and University... covers an amazing amount of ground in less than 500 pages of text... a significant contribution.” — Russell E. Miller, American Association of University Professors Bulletin “[A] first-rate contribution to the all-too-meager written history of American education and an example of institutional history at its best.” — Theodore R. Sizer, The New England Quarterly “Frederick Rudolph has chosen to create a vast design stretched across the canvas of several centuries and a broad continent, woven against the military, political, and economic tapestry of a new people creating a new way of life... He has more than succeeded. Covering both minute detail and sweeping developments, Mr. Rudolph makes a significant contribution to historical research by relating the growth of higher education to the totality of the American scene. At the same time he has produced a readable literary effort — set apart from books for popular consumption not by its style, which is well paced and clear, but by its depth of documentation... Rudolph writes with the skill of the novelist in keeping his narrative alive.” — Kenneth R. Williams, The Florida Historical Quarterly “This is a superb account of American higher education from colonial times to the present... The major developments are here, all in perspective, and treated in such a way as to please readers who value clarity, insight, proportion, quiet humor, and literary grace.” — Irwin G. Wyllie, The Business History Review “The American College and University is felicitous writing, eminently readable and frequently entertaining... Rudolph's work makes a significant contribution to educational history and will repay conscientious study.” — Saul Sack, The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography “[Rudolph's book] bears the marks of sound scholarship, and it is written with clarity and urbanity. It will be read with interest by academics and laymen and will probably remain the best one-volume history of its subject for many years.” — Frederick H. Jackson, The Mississippi Valley Historical Review “[T]his is a very capable history of the American college and university and is delightfully written... Both layman and historian can read this book with great profit and great enjoyment.” — Philip Davidson, The Journal of Southern History “[V]ery readable and at times absorbing... [an] illuminating history of the American college.” — Leonard F. Bacigalupo, The Catholic Historical Review “A carefully documented, well-indexed, and, to cap it, entertaining work leaving little doubt that the history of American higher education must be the most delightful story since the beginning of universities in medieval Europe.” — American Behavioral Scientist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great American Universities The unprecedented growth of American universities in recent years and their efforts to conform or to resist con formity with the demands of the times have effected such a transformation it is difficult to get a clear idea of their present condition and relative standing. A list of the larger universities arranged in the order of their size, wealth, scholarly productivity, or other objective criterion has surprises for almost every reader. He finds in the list and near the head of it names of institutions about which he knows little, and probably some of those whose names are most familiar to him are really very different from his conception of them, derived from their history or from early acquaintance. The alumnus who returns for the decennial reunion finds his Alma Mater greatly changed. Usually he is inclined to think that the change has not been altogether for the better in spite of the new buildings and crowds of students. He can, in fact, name the date when his Alma Mater began to decline and to lose the real old college spirit. It was ten years ago, when was gradu ated what is universally conceded by all its members to be the brightest class that ever came forth from its walls.
