Synopsis
Celebrates the centennial of the Graduate School's founding and looks forward to its continued importance in the twenty-first century., The Graduate School of Princeton University has a worldwide reputation for educating productive scholars. Yet, formal graduate education at Princeton, as elsewhere in the United States, is surprisingly recent, dating only to the latter decades of the 19th century, with the development of scientific disciplines and an increasing demand for professionally trained scholar-teachers. The evolution of Princeton's approach to post-baccalaureate study is a story full of twists, colourful personalities, and intrigue. With scholarly attention to detail and the recounting of dramatic episodes, this book portrays both the excitement and uncertainties of the Graduate School in 1990 to its contemporary eminence. Documenting Princeton's early experience with postgraduates and examining the nature of the advanced degrees awarded in the colonial and post-revolutionary eras, this book captures the visionary drive of the energetic president, James McCosh, to lay the scholarly foundations and organize graduate courses at the College of New Jersey in the 1870s.The reader is engaged in the controversy surrounding the structure and location of the Graduate College, as plots were repeatedly hatched and f, The Princeton Graduate School was born of controversy, first between President James McCosh and his opponents, who doubted the wisdom of attaching a graduate school to a small college with a religious complexion, and then between President Woodrow Wilson and the formidable Dean Andrew Fleming West. Dean West, who won every point at issue between them, went on to establish a graduate school that has increasingly been identified with excellence in all the fields in which it offers training. Succeeding deans, notably Hugh Stott Taylor, shaped Princeton's particular approach to graduate study with its central focus on research. Especially through the professors trained in the graduate school, Princeton has profoundly influenced education at many colleges and universities nationwide. Outside the academy, Princeton graduate alumni have been leaders in the arts, religion, industry, and government here and abroad, carrying with them a deep commitment to learning fostered by their time in the shadow of Cleveland Tower. The history of the Graduate School at Princeton thus reveals a great deal about the explosion of knowledge that has radically changed American society in the twentieth century. First published in 1978, The Princeton Graduate School: A History has been revised and expanded, with new chapters recounting the dramatic growth of graduate education since World War II. The updated edition celebrates the centennial of the Graduate School's founding and looks forward to its continued importance in the twenty-first century.

The item was marked as delivered on May 27th to a “reception area,” even though I live in a single-family home. Clearly a USPS error. I reached out to the seller, who responded quickly and assured me the book was on the way. It finally arrived safely on June 7th. Not the seller’s fault, and I appreciate their professionalism and communication throughout. Would buy from them again.
