      abstract = {The intellectual heritage of MIT: an account of "the flow  of ideas" about science and education that shaped the  Institute as it emerged and that inspires it today. The  motto on the seal of the Massachusetts Institute of  Technology, "Mens et Manus"--"mind and hand"--signals the  Institute's dedication to what MIT founder William Barton  Rogers called "the most earnest cooperation of intelligent  culture with industrial pursuits." Mind and Hand traces the  ideas about science and education that have shaped MIT and  defined its mission--from the new science of the  Enlightenment era and the ideals of representative  democracy spurred by the Industrial Revolution to new  theories on the nature and role of higher education in  nineteenth-century America. MIT emerged in mid-century as  an experiment in scientific and technical education, with  its origins in the tension between these old and new ideas.  Mind and Hand was undertaken by Julius Stratton after his  retirement from the presidency of MIT and continued by  Loretta Mannix after his death; Philip N. Alexander, of the  MIT Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies, stepped in  to complete the project. The combined efforts of these  three authors have given us what Julius Stratton  envisioned--"a coherent account of the flow of ideas" from  which MIT emerged.},
