Description:
Following the format of Fitzroy Dearborn's highly-successful International Dictionary of Historic Places (see pages 32-33), the new International Dictionary of University Histories provides basic information on each institution -- location, description, source of further information -- followed by an extensive (3,000-5,000 word) essay on its history. Entries on each university conclude with a recommended Further Reading list, and all entries are illustrated.
Expand description
Coverage is world-wide, and entries range from the great institutions of medieval times (Oxford, Heidelberg, the Sorbonne) to the great historic universities of the United States, to the new universities of Australia and South Africa, to the lesser-known universities of such countries as China and India.
The advisory board has chosen for inclusion those universities that have the most fascinating histories and those that have played important roles in the development of their own countries and in the development of world scholarship. More than 200 writers and researchers -- and the archival departments of the universities themselves -- have contributed to this project.
