      abstract = {Delbanco explains how the idea of college arose in the  colonial period from the Puritan idea of the gathered  church, how it struggled to survive in the nineteenth  century in the shadow of the new research universities, and  how, in the twentieth century, it slowly opened its doors  to women, minorities, and students from low-income  families. He describes the unique strengths of America's  colleges in our era of globalization and, while recognizing  the growing centrality of science, technology, and  vocational subjects in the curriculum, he mounts a vigorous  defense of a broadly humanistic education for all. --from  publisher description},
