When it was published in 1968, a year noted for historic student
protests on campuses across the country, "The American University"
spoke in Jacques Barzun's characteristically wise and lucid voice
about what colleges and universities were really meant to do--and
how they actually worked. Drawing on a lifetime of extraordinary
accomplishment as a teacher, administrator, and scholar, Barzun
here describes the immense demands placed on the university by its
competing constituencies--students, faculty, administrators,
alumni, trustees, and the political world around it all.
"American higher education is fortunate to have had a scholar and
intellectual of Jacques Barzun's stature give so many years of
service to the daily bread-and-butter details of running a great
university and then share his reflections with us in a literate,
humane, and engaging book."--Charles Donovan, "America"
