The Alumni Record Of The University Of Illinois, Including Historical Sketch And Annals Of The University And Biographical Data Regarding Members Of T (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354212871)

A meticulously preserved institutional register. An indispensable record of alumni. The Alumni Record of the University of Illinois pairs a compact historical sketch and institutional annals with biographical data regarding members of the faculties and the boards of trustees, making it at once a university alumni directory and an academic biographical register. Equal parts historical university records and a college yearbook alternative from the nineteenth century universities era, it supplies carefully organised faculty and trustee listings alongside chronological entries that map academic careers and institutional change. The work's straightforward presentation - names, offices, dates and contextual notes - turns archival detail into readable narrative, so that genealogists find a focused genealogy research resource and librarians recognise it as a dependable academic reference collection. No embellished memoirs. The value is in primary data and the human connections it reveals. Its compact organisation and sober tone allow quick reference and deeper reading alike; entries can prompt new lines of enquiry for local historians and students of institutional life. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Of clear historical significance, this volume serves as a primary source for higher education history and united states college history and sits naturally within the illinois university annals. Archivists, reunion organisers and family historians rely on the factual breadth here; collectors of regional and institutional literature prize its authenticity and period character. Presented as both a research tool and a cultural artefact, it suits casual readers and classic-literature collectors equally, and makes an unusual alumni association gift that honours institutional memory. Whether consulted for tracing lineage, building campus exhibits, or completing an academic reference shelf, this restored register rewards careful attention. It belongs on the shelf of any university archive, on alumni office reference lists, and in private collections curated for nineteenth century universities and local higher-education history.
