A lively narrative connecting Wesleyan University’s early history to economic, religious, urban, and educational developments in 19th-century America.
“This is the best college history to appear in many years. Potts manages to cover all of the interesting topics, from students and football to curriculum and trustees, without ever dropping a thread in the narrative fabric. Wesleyan University is full of new insights for students of higher education, and yet at the same time it is an exceptionally good read.”—Stanley N. Katz, President, American Council of Learned Societies
