This combination of literary essay and elegantly-written history provides insights into a past still important in the twentieth century. The authors cover the origins of Harvard and the foundations of Harvard's character, structure, and style of governance; the shifting relationships and power struggles among faculty, administration, and students over the years; and the growing diversity of the student body.
