DAVID B. POTTS former Dean of the Faculty at Gettysburg College, is Professor of History at the University of Puget Sound.
"In this adroit blend of institutional and cultural history, David
B. Potts provides an exemplary analysis of the first eighty years
of Wesleyan University. He not only describes how the college
changed its president, faculty, students, and curriculum (which one
expects in institutional history), but he also deftly explains its
identity shifts in terms of the broad context of higher education
in the United States."--William G. McLoughlin, New England
Quarterly
"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
