Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed overview of the American university system, based on observations made by the author during a research trip to the US and Canada in the aftermath of World War I. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the American university, contrasting it with its Briti…sh counterpart and examining its historical development. The author delves into the challenges facing American universities at the time, including overcrowding, increased demand for education, and a need for reform. They discuss the "critical situation" of American universities, caused by the tension between maintaining high academic standards and meeting the growing demand for mass education. The book explores the unique features of the American university system, such as the elective system, the emphasis on secondary school work, and the role of the university president. It also examines the governance and administration of American universities, highlighting the centralized authority of the president and the limited role of faculty in decision -making. The author emphasizes the importance of grounding the American university system on a solid foundation of secondary education, rather than attempting to provide a comprehensive education that encompasses both secondary and higher education levels. They suggest that the American university system could benefit from adopting some of the practices of British universities, such as a clearer distinction between secondary and university education and a greater role for faculty in governance. Overall, this in -depth study provides valuable insights into the American university system and its challenges and opportunities. It offers a unique perspective from an outsider's observations, highlighting both the strengths and areas for improvement within the system.
