By Degenhardt76 (USA/Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Emergence of the American University (Paperback)

Like most major works on the history of U.S. higher education, it pretends that the North East and Mid West can speak authoritatively for the rest of the country. The book is therefore quite incomplete, which should be taken into account when reading it. Check out John Thelin's 2004 History of American Higher Education, it's much more up-to-date and comprehensive.
