Size: 24 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-521-54113-8 General note: Includes index on (p. 469) Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: University History Class number: 378.4 Abstract: This is the first of four volumes comprising A history of the university in Europe, written by an international team of authors under the general editorship of Professor Walter Rüegg. The series has been sponsored by the Standing Conference of Rectors, Presidents and Vice-Chancellors of the European Universities (CRE) and is intended for the general reader as well as the specialist. The series aims to cover the development of the university in Europe (east and west) from its origins to the present, focusing not on the history individual institutions or on universities in each particular country, but on a number of major themes viewed from a European perspective. The originality of the work lies in its comparative, interdisciplinary, collaborative and transitional character. It is not a history of ideas-even though each volume has a section on learning which deals with the content of what was taught at universities at the time-but rather an appreciation of the role and structures of the universities seen against a backcloth of changing conditions, ideas and values. Volume 1, Universities in the Middle Ages, attempts to situate the medieval European universities in their social and political context. After explaining the number and types of universities existing from the beginnings in the twelfth century until about 1500, it examines the inner workings of the institution of the university and paints a general picture of medieval student life.

Title : Yellow Stone & Blue : the First 75 Years Material Type: printed text Authors: Sue Hart, Author Publisher: Montana : Montana State University Billings Publication Date: 2002 Pagination: 248 p. Layout: ill. Size: 22 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-971636-20-0 General note: Includes bibliographical index (p. 243-248) Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Education United States University History Class number: 378.73 Abstract: MSU was founded in 1893 as the Agricultural College of the State of Montana.[10] It opened on 16 February with five male and three female students. The first classes were held in rooms in the county high school, and later that year in the shuttered Bozeman Academy (a private preparatory school). The first students were from Bozeman Academy, and were forced to transfer to the college. Only two faculty existed on opening day: Luther Foster, a horticulturalist from South Dakota who was also Acting President, and Homer G. Phelps, who taught business. Within weeks, they were joined by S.M. Emery (who ran the agricultural experiment station) and Benjamin F. Maiden (an English teacher from the former Bozeman Academy). Augustus M. Ryon, a coal mine owner, was named the first president of the college on 17 April 1893. Ryon immediately clashed with the board of trustees and faculty. Where the trustees wanted the college to focus on agriculture, Ryon pointed out that few of its students intended to go back to farming. While the rapidly expanding faculty wanted to establish a remedial education program to assist unprepared undergraduates (Montana's elementary and secondary public education system was in dire shape at the time), Ryon refused. The donation of the Story land to the college occurred in 1894, but Ryon was forced out in 1895 and replaced by the Rev. Dr. James R. Reid, a Presbyterian minister who had been president of the Montana College at Deer Lodge since 1890.
