$32.35
by John Greene (Author)
The fourth in a series of volumes on the history of the university focuses on the chancellorship of William Pearson Tolley, whose uniquely distinctive management style contributed to the university's rapid development. At a time when higher education faced its most serious challenges, Syracuse University literally tripled in size, student admissions, and influence under Tolley.
Incorporating interviews with alumni, administrators, students, and chancellors Melvin Eggers and Tolley, Greene discusses the intense building and growth period of Tolley's twenty-seven year administration. He recounts in detail the impact of the civil rights struggle and the Vietnam War and uses archival material from Syracuse University's Arents Research Library, which includes a rich selection of photographs never before published.Back Jacket
The legacy of William Tolley cuts a wide swath in the history of both Syracuse University and the community. He was one of several 'giant', to borrow Clark Kerr's phrase, who made significant changes to the landscape of higher education.
