Roger L. Geiger est l'auteur de To Advance Knowledge, publié par OUP/USA en 1986 et reconnu comme une étude majeure des universités américaines dans les quatre premières décennies du 20e siècle. Avec la recherche et les connaissances pertinentes, Geiger termine son étude de l'université de recherche américaine en transportant l'histoire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale à nos jours. Alors que To Advance Knowledge a décrit le développement de l'université américaine dans un contexte de recherche, Research and Relevant Knowledge traite des pressions constantes sur la recherche dans les universités, en grande partie découlant des priorités gouvernementales. Le livre se concentre sur des universités telles que le MIT et Yale, où ces pressions étaient particulièrement fortes, et consacre beaucoup de temps à la croissance de l'Université de Californie, Berkeley, pendant la période. Alors que le livre prend en compte « la génération silencieuse » et les protestations des étudiants, l'accent reste mis sur les institutions elles-mêmes et les pressions contradictoires de l'éducation et de la recherche.
