Harvard

By John Hays Gardiner

Book Overview

Harvard by John Hays Gardiner is a comprehensive history of Harvard University, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the United States. The book covers the university's founding in 1636, its growth and development over the centuries, and its role in shaping American culture and society. Gardiner explores the key figures and events that have shaped Harvard's history, from the Puritan ministers who founded the university to the modern-day scholars and researchers who continue to push the boundaries of knowledge. Along the way, he examines Harvard's role in the American Revolution, its contributions to science and technology, and its impact on the arts and humanities. The book also delves into the controversies and challenges that have faced Harvard over the years, from debates over admissions policies to protests against the university's role in the Vietnam War. Written in a clear and engaging style, Harvard is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American higher education and the role of universities in shaping society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
