Produktbeschreibung

This latest volume in Roger Geiger's distinguished series on the history of higher education begins with a rare glimpse into the minds of mid-nineteenth century collegians. Timothy J. Williams mines the diaries of students at the University of North Carolina to unearth a not unexpected preoccupation with sex, but also a complex psychological context for those feelings. Marc A. VanOverbeke examines e¬ orts by the University of Michigan to strengthen connections with secondary schools and build a hierarchical educational system in Michigan.
