Once and Almost Great American Universities?

Thelin, John R.

Review of Higher Education, v6 n2 p161-68 Win 1983

The 1910 publication, "Great American Universities," provides a point of departure for three recent studies by Rosenzweig, Moos, and Prichard of the university and its role in public policy. A marked shift in tone from the energy, optimism, and public curiosity earlier attributed to the American university is noted. (Author/MSE)
