This volume explores the numerous and competing demands that face
America’s public research universities and considers how
institutions and their leaders can best navigate this challenge to
ensure longevity, relevance, and success on the local, national,
and global stage. Today’s public research universities have the
unique challenge of responding to new societal pressures and
policies, while remaining true to their core educational missions
and values. Highlighting the multiple roles that universities must
now fulfil – as institutions of higher learning, as research
bodies, as institutions with global reputations, and as
organizations that serve the public – the volume asks how they
can best evolve in the rapidly changing education landscape.
Tackling subjects such as faculty culture, the role of technology,
financial sustainability, institutional identity, diversity, and
organizational development, chapters identify innovative and
transformative mechanisms for acclimatizing the public research
university to current educational, academic, and societal needs.
This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with
an interest in higher education, educational reform and policy, and
the sociology of education more broadly.

Lizette Woodworth Reese was a professional, independent woman from
the time she left high school in 1873. She began her teaching
career that year and published her first poem in Baltimore's
Southern Magazine in 1874. She taught for 45 years in the public
schools of Baltimore. Her poetry and her readings of it were
particularly popular in women's roups throughout the United States.
She was one of the founders of the Woman's Literary Club of
Baltimore and its chairman of poetry until her death in 1935. In
April, 1931 she was named Poet Laureate of the General Federation
of Women's Clubs. In that same month, she was iven an honorary
doctorate of literature by Goucher College which called her one of
the greatest living women in America. In her lifetime, Reese was
internationally admired for her poetic genius and hailed by H.L.
Mencken as one of the most distinguished poets in the United
States. This volume is the first extensive collection of her poems
since her Selected Poems was published in 1926. The volume begins
with a short biographical sketch of the poet and includes some 250
of her poems. The poems are arranged into sections illustrating
some of her major themes: nature, love, remembrance, faith, family,
history, and literature. An eighth section contains a complete
narrative poem, Little Henrietta, about the life and death of a
young girl. Introductory comments help to place Reese in the
continuum of American poetry and to indicate her influence on
succeeding generations of poets. The book also includes an
extensive bibliography and a subject index.
