History of Higher Education Annual, Volume 23 provides insight into
the struggle for civil rights and desegregation of Southern higher
education, illuminating how this conflict affected private,
historically black colleges and white denominational colleges,
while interpreting the dynamics of segregation and desegregation in
South Carolina. Other contributions examine town-gown relations for
Harvard students in the eighteenth century and the challenge of
creating an urban public university in Chicago. Review essays
examine the demographic and cultural transformation of British
higher education and the curious phenomenon of historical
encyclopedias of individual colleges and universities. History of
Higher Education Annual will be of interest to historians,
sociologists, educational policymakers as well as those concerned
with the future of higher education in the United States and
throughout the world. Roger L. Geiger is Distinguished Professor of
Higher Education at the Pennsylvania State University. He has
edited the History of Higher Education Annual since 1993. His two
volumes Research and Relevant Knowledge and To Advance Knowledge
(both published by Transaction) cover the history of universities
in the United States during the twentieth century.
