Table of ContentsReviewsAn unusual blend of scholarship, irony, and adulation. --Library Journal An incredibly detailed and deeply researched look at the players and issues of the last 70 years of Harvard history. --Harvard Crimson America's premier academic institution well deserves this kind of carefully detailed chronicle....As long as Harvard embodies the nation's highest cultural aspirations, this volume will find many appreciative readers --Booklist A fascinating and engaging account of the rise of Harvard since 1933. --Weekly Standard Harvard is both the most modern and the most ancient of American universities. Most ancient as a result of its founding date. Most modern by its commitment to being the best at everything it does--the first to pursue each new endeavor, the first to make each new discovery. Why this persistent commitment? As I read this beautifully written book by Morton and Phyllis Keller, I am confirmed in my belief that this commitment is based on the high quality of its academic leadership over the years--leaders who have kept Harvard out in front in the United States and who have shown the way for other American universities more generally to become among the greatest intellectual centers this world has ever known. Read, enjoy, and come to understand. --Clark Kerr, former Chancellor, University of California, Berkeley, and President Emeritus, University of California Author InformationMorton Keller is Spector Professor of History at Brandeis, and has written extensively on American political and economic institutions. Phyllis Keller was the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences from the 1970s to the 1990s, and is the author of Getting at the Core, an inside look at the creation of Harvard's pioneering core curriculum.
