Klappentext
"This institutional history of the University of Chicago, as told by the longtime dean of the college, thoroughly engages with the history and the lived politics of the university. Boyer is both sweeping and precise in relating battles over finance, policy, and vision that shaped this legendary and groundbreaking institution. He details, too, some of the university's failures and weak periods. Boyer's tale is filled with larger-than-life-characters--John D. Rockefeller, Robert Maynard Hutchins, and many less famous figures among them--and episodes that reveal the establishment and rise of today's institution. Newly updated, this edition extends through the presidency of Robert Zimmer, whose long tenure was marked by significant developments and controversies over subjects as varied as free speech, medical inequity, and community relations"-- John W Boyer
