Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (Number Line to 1). This book was previously owned by the renowned sociologist, Daniel Bell. He signed his name on the front end paper. I have listed and sold a good number of his books, but none with as many markings. Most of the markings are straight parenthetical lines next to paragraphs. There are also at least 1 1/2 dozen instances where he wrote a word or several words at the margin, often a name. Dr. Bell made a copy of a 'fan' letter he sent to the authors. It is dated December 25, 2001. At the top it states American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Down a little ways is printed 'Daniel Bell, Scholar in Residence.' It begins 'Dear Phyllis and Mickey' (apparently Morton's nickname). He states that he believes in writing authors a fan note when he likes their books. 'And I won't say which is which when I think I discern Morton's voice and Phyllis's knyock (neither Google, Google Translate or I know that word). He refers to the book as a very good institutional history with some very good, new information for anyone interested in Harvard. He wonders 'Is Harvard still the best?' Then 'I know-- compared to whom.' He wonders whether Larry Summers 'with his abrasive style may still stumble.' Suggests then that the authors may need to write a new epilogue. In praising the book he writes, with only a small amount of exaggeration 'I have markings on almost every page.' So this is quite a special book. It is also in very good condition. You can see the white and red covers in the photos. They are mostly quite clean, a speck or two and one thin line on the rear that is probably just a smooth scratch. The spine ends have the typical crinkling, no tears. The cover edges and corners are in excellent shape, no rubbing. The page edges are exceptionally clean. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. It's a fairly thick book, 578 pages, and there are no binding issues. The interior of the book is in excellent condition. The pages appear to be perfectly clean. That includes the white inside covers and end papers. There is a fairly thin, vertical surface scuff on the front inside cover. I can't say it's inconspicuous having now noticed it, but it doesn't jump out at you. Perhaps the letter was at one point taped at its edge to the inside cover, though there is no indication of that on the letter. Besides being exceptionally clean, the pages are in excellent condition. I'm not finding any creasing, any page imperfections. There are no attachments of any kind. There are 16 pages of photographs, 34 photographs in total. They are all in excellent condition. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It's in very solid shape. There are two very small spots on the front cover and you can see several on the rear cover in the third photo. I don't see any tears. The flaps are very clean. I don't see any conspicuous wear on either. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. I have always had it in a fitted protective cover. The publishers are quite high on Harvard. The book is described as 'a candid portrait of America's greatest University, through seven decades of dramatic change. With verve, humor, and insight, Morton and Phyllis Keller tell the story of the rise of Harvard: a tale of compelling personalities, notable achievement, and no-less-notable academic pratfalls. Their book is based on rich and revealing archival materials, interviews and personal experience. This fascinating account, the comprehensive history of the modern American university, is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the present state and future course of higher education.'.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Making Harvard Modern is a candid, richly detailed portrait of America's most prominent university from 1933 to the present: seven decades of dramatic change. Early twentieth century Harvard was the country's oldest and richest university, but not necessarily its outstanding one. By the century's end it was widely regarded as the nation's, and the world's, leading institution of higher education. With verve, humor, and insight, Morton and Phyllis Kellertell the story of that rise: a tale of compelling personalities, notable achievement and no less notable academic pratfalls. Their book is based on rich and revealing archival materials, interviews, and personalexperience. Young, humbly born James Bryant Conant succeeded Boston Brahmin A. Lawrence Lowell as Harvard's president in 1933, and set out to change a Brahmin-dominated university into a meritocratic one. He hoped to recruit the nation's finest scholars and an outstanding national student body. But the lack of new money during the Depression and the distractions of World War Two kept Conant, and Harvard, from achieving this goal. In the 1950s and 1960s, during thepresidency of Conant's successor Nathan Marsh Pusey, Harvard raised the money, recruited the faculty, and attracted the students that made it a great meritocratic institution: America's university. Theauthors provide the fullest account yet of this transformation, and of the wrenching campus crisis of the late 'sixties. During the last thirty years of the twentieth century, a new academic culture arose: meritocratic Harvard morphed into worldly Harvard. During the presidencies of Derek Bok and Neil Rudenstine the university opened its doors to growing numbers of foreign students, women, African- and Asian-Americans, and Hispanics. Its administration, faculty, and students becamemore deeply engaged in social issues; its scientists and professional schools were more ready to enter into shared commercial ventures. But worldliness brought its own conflicts: over affirmativeaction and political correctness, over commercialization, over the ever higher costs of higher education. This fascinating account, the first comprehensive history of a modern American university, is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the present state and future course of higher education. This is a study of how Harvard transformed itself from a stuffy Boston-Brahmin college to perhaps the world's leading university. This item is printed on demand.
