Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the history of Oberlin's first fifty years and provides unique insights into the labor of the school's founders. The establishment of Oberlin College in 1833 was part of a broader movement toward the democratization of higher education in America. However, the founders had larger ambitions than merely to provide greater access: they sought to establish a college with a particularly strong and progressive curriculum that placed significant emphasis on the value of services to the community. The author explores many interesting topics like the high marriage rate among early alumnae (nearly 100% in the first decade) which can be looked at through the lenses of tradition, prestige, and expectation, and the falling marriage rate that took place as the school settled into its place in American society. The book also paints a vivid picture of the lives and careers of some of the most distinguished graduates, from abolitionists and missionaries to college presidents and social reformers, who helped to shape the nation's history and culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781528548458_0
