Présentation de l'éditeur
Preface THIS brief historical sketch of Delaware College since its resuscitation fifty years ago the author has written as a labor of love, and zvith a pleasure to himself quite out of proportion to that which he can hope the work may give to even its most friendly readers. He has tried to avoid the dead and dry detail apt to characterise local history, though he does not flatter himself that he has achieved a narrative either brilliant or absorbing. As far as he rightly could also he has shunned whatever even the most sensitive might regard as a partisan tone in narrative or comment touching matters that have troubled the peace of our academic half century, as like matters have troubled the peace of any long period in the history of almost every such school throughout the land. Such things, however, could not be left out nor could they be treated in a merely colorless fashion, lest this modest chronicle take on an air of futility, if not of stupidity. A ccordingly, these matters find their rightful place in the story, and possibly their due proportion, and the author can ojtly hope that he has refrained from aught that may set bubbling anew the tempestuous teapots of the past.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed historical account of Delaware College from 1870 to the present day, focusing on the many challenges and triumphs the college faced during its early years of operation after a decade-long hiatus. The author, who taught at the college for fifteen years, provides unique insights into the challenges and ultimate successes of the college during a time of great social and technological change in America. The author illustrates that Delaware College, like many other institutions of higher learning during this time period, faced issues of low student enrollment, budget constraints, and political discord both within the faculty and the surrounding community. Despite these challenges, the college persevered, evolving into the well-respected and diverse institution it is today and is expected to continue to grow and innovate in the years to come.
