A must read for anyone in higher education
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book, which I would term as modern classic in the field, is a perennial read for higher educators, coming up regularly in the Chronicle of Higher Education book lists. Despite being written decades ago this book brings to light some of the most important issues facing the university today. Barzun is as erudite as he is qualified, having served as Provost at Columbia University and as a Professor for many years. If you are interested in higher education this book is highly recommended, if you are a member of the Faculty, Administration or Staff of a College or University and you have not read this book, shame on you.
