Susquehanna University 1858-2000: A Goodly Heritage

"Susquehanna University's history from 1858 to 2000 has occurred in three stages, each expressing a different mission." "Although this book documents many institutional "firsts" and includes many salient events making up the school's history, the book has a thesis: the institution has successively adapted its mission or fundamental purpose to meet the changing needs of its market. This adaptation has occurred as decision-makers and stakeholders at the school responded to external factors and forces affecting both religion and education in America." "Based on voluminous primary and secondary sources and with copious tables of data and notes, this book gathers information about the institution for the use and enjoyment of both general readers and scholars, readers with an inherent interest in the Susquehanna story and those seeking to understand the community of higher education over a period of one hundred and fifty years."--BOOK JACKET.Donald D.
