Excerpt from The American UniversityA discouraging statement certainly, if true, for the would be exponent of the American university! While not so accurate at the present day as when first made, it is still true enough, if one fail to free himself at the very start from dependence upon the name as necessarily indicative Of the ibing. It is incontestable that within the last ten years the conception of the natural and necessary relation of the uni versity to the college has become much clearer, and that many and important changes of organization and adminis tration have resulted, so that it is certainly easier than it was in 1888 to define, or at least to describe, the American uni versity. However, there remain difficulties of many kinds, and it still is, and will undoubtedly be for years to come, if not actually impossible, at least very difficult, to give a defini tion broad enough to include all institutions Of learning in the United States which possess true university character, and precise enough to exclude all others.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
