Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, a collaboration by several professors at the University of California at Berkeley in the 19th century, examines the history of the Morrill Land-Grant Act of 1862. The act, signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln, set aside millions of federal land-grant acres to provide colleges focused on agricultural and technical education. The author delves into the challenges and complexities faced by the University of California in aligning its mission with the requirements of the act to balance scientific and classical studies, while giving priority to agricultural and technical education. The book also explores the evolution of the university's approach to industrial education and the shifting priorities and objectives of the institution over time. Highlighting the tensions between scientific and classical studies, this book sheds light on the challenges and opportunities faced by the University of California in navigating the creation of a new type of higher education institution, providing valuable insights into the history of higher education in the United States.
