The History of Higher Education in America: A Timeline/Genealogy

July 26, 2020 at 4:49 pm

One of the crazier things I have done is to develop a timeline/genealogy of higher education to serve as a source for the research for my future book, The Coming Crisis in American Higher Education, 1636-2036. People have asked, so here is a 10-year excerpt, to give you a taste. I have selected 1879-1889 for no serious reason.

Find it here: Timeline18791889

PEGS: The Blog

PEGS is a blog on stuff that interests me a lot professionally (politics and education) and personally (gardening) -- and I won't promise never to discuss anything else. Sorry, but comments are turned off. These days, comments sections too often degenerate into incivility and cognitive burping. Please feel free to contact me (vsapiro@gmail.com) if you want to respond. Twitter also possible -- @VSapiro. Thanks.
