The modern research university originated in Europe in the second
half of the nineteenth century, largely due to the creation and
expansion of the teaching and research laboratory. The universities
and the sciences underwent a laboratory revolution that
fundamentally changed the nature of both. This revolutionary
development began in chemistry, where Justus Liebig is credited
with systematically employing his students in his ongoing research
during the 1830s. Later, this development spread to other fields,
including the social sciences and the humanities. The consequences
for the universities were colossal. The expansion of the
laboratories demanded extensive new building programs, reshaping
the outlook of the university. The social structure of the
university also diversified because of this laboratory expansion,
while what it meant to be a scientist changed dramatically. This
volume explores the spatial, social, and cultural dimensions of the
rise of the modern research laboratory within universities and
their consequent reshaping.
