The Movement for Industrial Education and the Establishment of the University 1840-1870. With an Introd. by Edmund J. James (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781172526253)

"The Movement for Industrial Education and the Establishment of the University 1840-1870" explores the pivotal period in American history when industrial education gained momentum and led to the founding of universities. Authored by Burt Eardley Powell with an introduction by Edmund J. James, this work delves into the social and educational forces that shaped the curriculum and mission of higher education during a time of rapid industrialization.

The book examines the key figures, debates, and institutional developments that defined the movement. It sheds light on the efforts to integrate practical skills and technical knowledge into the traditional liberal arts curriculum, ultimately influencing the structure and focus of modern universities. This historical analysis offers valuable insights into the evolution of American education and its ongoing relationship with industry and technology.
