Amherst in the World
Author: Martha SaxtonPublisher: Amherst College Press
ISBN: 0943184215
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
In celebration of the 200th anniversary of Amherst College, a group of scholars and alumni explore the school’s substantial past in this volume. Amherst in the World tells the story of how an institution that was founded to train Protestant ministers began educating new generations of industrialists, bankers, and political leaders with the decline in missionary ambitions after the Civil War. The contributors trace how what was a largely white school throughout the interwar years begins diversifying its student demographics after World War II and the War in Vietnam. The histories told here illuminate how Amherst has contended with slavery, wars, religion, coeducation, science, curriculum, town and gown relations, governance, and funding during its two centuries of existence. Through Amherst’s engagement with educational improvement in light of these historical undulations, it continually affirms both the vitality and the utility of a liberal arts education. Contributions by Martha Saxton, Gary J. Kornblith, David W. Wills, Frederick E. Hoxie, Trent Maxey, Nicholas L. Syrett, Wendy H. Bergoffen, Rick López, Matthew Alexander Randolph, Daniel Levinson Wilk, K. Ian Shin, David S. Reynolds, Jane F. Thrailkill, Julie Dobrow, Richard F. Teichgraeber III, Debby Applegate, Michael E. Jirik, Bruce Laurie, Molly Michelmore, and Christian G. Appy.

Book Description
This unique historical record of the scientific community’s response to the U.S. bicentennial constitutes a useful tool for school and public library ready reference to biographical or historical articles on the history of American science and technology. In an attempt to preserve the outpouring of historical articles on science commemorating the U.S. bicentennial, George W. Black, Jr., Science Librarian at Southern Illinois University, Carbon-dale, was inspired to compile systematically all bicentennial references to science and technology appearing in over fifteen hundred journals in 1976. The bibliography contains some 1,065 entries arranged under headings taken from the Wilson index or other standard lists such as L.C. subject headings and Index medicus. Indexes to journal titles, to authors, and to proper names cited in the articles enable the user to find any item of information desired quickly and easily. Complete paging of the articles indexed is given, together with cross-referencing to other articles by the same author or authors included in the bibliography.
