Not only did thousands of men die on battlefields and millions of slaves become free; cultural institutions reshaped themselves in the context of the war and its aftermath. The first book to examine the Civil War's immediate and long-term impact on higher education, Reconstructing the Campus begins by tracing college communities' responses to the secession crisis and the outbreak of war. Students made supplies for the armies or left campus to fight. Professors joined the war effort or struggled to keep colleges open. The Union and Confederacy even took over some campuses for military use. Then moving beyond 1865, the book explores the war's long-term effects on colleges. Michael David Cohen argues that the Civil War and the political and social conditions the war created prompted major reforms, including the establishment of a new federal role in education. Reminded by the war of the importance of a well-trained military, Congress began providing resources to colleges that offered military courses and other practical curricula. Congress also, as part of a general expansion of the federal bureaucracy that accompanied the war, created the Department of Education to collect and publish data on education. For the first time, the U.S. government both influenced curricula and monitored institutions. The war posed special challenges to Southern colleges. Often bereft of students and sometimes physically damaged, they needed to rebuild. Some took the opportunity to redesign themselves into the first Southern universities. They also admitted new types of students, including the poor, women, and, sometimes, formerly enslaved blacks. Thus, while the Civil War did great harm, it also stimulated growth, helping, especially in the South, to create our modern system of higher education. 000642687 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000642687 650_0 $$aUniversities and colleges$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000642687 650_0 $$aUniversities and colleges$$zUnited States$$xAdmission$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000642687 650_0 $$aUniversities and colleges$$xCurricula$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000642687 650_0 $$aEducation, Higher$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000642687 650_0 $$aEducational change$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000642687 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yCivil War, 1861-1865$$xEducation and the war. 000642687 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yCivil War, 1861-1865$$xInfluence. 000642687 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aCohen, Michael David, 1980-$$tReconstructing the campus.$$dCharlottesville : University of Virginia Press, 2012$$z9780813933177$$w(DLC) 2012000870$$w(OCoLC)772715730 000642687 830_0 $$aNation divided. 000642687 8520_ $$bacq 000642687 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000642687 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000642687 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3444066$$zOnline Access 000642687 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3444066$$zOnline Access 000642687 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:642687$$pGLOBAL_SET 000642687 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000642687 980__ $$aBIB 000642687 982__ $$aEbook 000642687 983__ $$aOnline
