This book shows how these universities laid the foundation for the rise of American science from the status of a provincial outpost of international science to an equal of the best European centers of learning. This is a rich social history that tells much not only about the growth of American higher education but also about American intellectual life in general and the politics of scientific research. How did research come to be a major function of universities? How did universities reconcile the demands of an active research program with their other institutional commitments? To answer these questions, Roger L. Geiger examines a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from the adoption of selective admissions policies and the development of graduate schools to the migration of European scientists to the United States. Also included are fascinating sections on the bizarre attempt to militarize college campuses during World War I and on the collegiate culture of the 1920s, when social life rather than intellectual matters dominated major campuses.One remarkable feature of the development of research universities, Geiger points out, is that it was largely accomplished through private resources. Individual philanthropy was responsible for establishing the wealth of the private research universities and played a key role at several state universities as well. Private foundations were especially significant in developing the research capabilities of these institutions. Geiger describes how each university in its own way resolved the tension between the research role and other institutional commitments. The book focuses on Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Columbia, Cornell, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, Caltech, and the Universities of Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Chicago, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and California. Roger L. Geiger is Associate Research Scientist in the Institution for Social and Policy Studies and the Department of History at Yale University. He has published numerous articles and is the author of Private Sectors in Higher Education: Structure, Function, and Change in Eight Countries. 1.
