Before the Second World War, few universities in the United States could compete as research institutions with their European counterparts. Since 1945, however, America's top research universities are the best in the world.

From the impact of federal funding and decisions made by administrators at individual universities to the rigorous comparison of institutions, the findings in this book offer important insights into the history and future of the American research university.
