Justin Smith Morrill: Father of the Land-Grant Colleges
Angebote / Angebote:
Almost every land-grant college or university in the US has a building named for Justin Smith Morrill, yet few understand his contribution. Cross, a professional historian employed by the US Air Force, reveals a complex and influential political figure who, as chair of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee, influenced American economic policy for 50 years. His most-recognized achievements were the pieces of legislation that bear his name: the Morrill land-grant college acts of 1862 and 1890. This legislation paved the way to open up American higher education to the working class, women, minorities, and immigrants.
