Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book encompasses the movement to establish comprehensive technical schools with scientific study curriculums as highlighted through the execution of the nation's 1862 Morrill Act. The text begins by placing this revolutionary act in its historical context, demonstrating how this piece of legislation both challenged and progressed existing educational norms, and then goes on to explore the various ways in which different states interpreted and executed the act to suit their unique needs and situations. The author also explores the challenges faced by these fledgling institutions, including the recruitment of qualified faculty, the development of rigorous curricula, and the construction of suitable buildings. However, in the end, the book offers a hopeful vision for the potential of these schools to provide practical, science-based instruction to students from a wide range of backgrounds and socioeconomic status. It astutely sums up the powerful transformative impact these schools have had in the drive to educate the American people through scientific and technical training.
