Description - History of Higher Education Annual: 2003-2004 by Torcuato Di Tella
History of Higher Education Annual is a unique serial-publication. Now close to completing the quarter-century mark, for much of that time it has been edited by the distinguished scholar of higher education in the United States, Roger L. Geiger. The annual offers well-written essays that cover the birth, growth, transformation, and sometimes the demise of specific colleges and universities. At the same time, it targets specific themes for close examination. Volume 23 provides new insight into the struggle for civil rights and desegregation of Southern higher education, illuminating how this conflict affected private, historically black colleges and white denominational colleges, while interpreting the dynamics of segregation and desegregation in South Carolina. Other articles examine town-gown relations for Harvard students in the eighteenth century and the challenge of creating an urban public university in Chicago. Review essays examine the demographic and cultural transformation of British higher education and the curious phenomenon of historical encyclopedias of individual colleges and universities.
History of Higher Education Annual allows those for whom academic life is a passion and a calling to trace the roots and evaluate the policies of institutions that intimately shape their lives. This serial publication should be of particular interest to historians, sociologists, and, of course, educational policymakers.
