Transforming the University: Administrators, Physicist, and Industrial and Federal Patronage at Stanford, 1935-49.
Lowen, Rebecca S.
History of Education Quarterly, v31 n3 p365-88 Fall 1991
Observes that there is as yet no comprehensive history of the Post-World War II "multiversity." Examines the development of Stanford University's Microwave Laboratory. Suggests a framework for the multiversity that includes large, well-funded laboratories, a department with weak central authority, and an emphasis on research over teaching. (SG)
