University Control (1913)

by James McKeen Cattell and McKeen Cattell

Book Overview

University Control is a book written by James McKeen Cattell and published in 1913. The book explores the issue of university control, specifically the role of trustees and faculty in governing universities. Cattell argues that the power of university trustees should be limited and that faculty members should have more control over academic affairs. He also discusses the importance of academic freedom and the need for universities to be independent from political and religious influences. The book is a significant contribution to the history of higher education in the United States and remains relevant today as universities continue to grapple with issues of governance and academic autonomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
