A Brief History of American Universities
by Cheng Xing
About This Novel
This is a brief history of American higher education in a story. The author uses some important events in the history of American higher education as the starting point, using the events as the warp and the time as the latitude. Through telling each story, he reveals the inner logic and experience of why the United States has become a powerful country in higher education. As the author said: The evolution of American universities does not actually have a pre-planned draft, nor does it follow any imaginary logic for linear extension. On the contrary, the occurrence of many historical events, including those that have a profound impact on today's universities, often occurs with some chance. These seemingly accidental events were often the result of many social forces at that time wrestling with each other according to their own wishes. In other words, American universities are full of entanglements, troubles and even pain during their growth. From schools, professors, and students to governments, enterprises, and countries, there is no shortage of problems inside and outside universities-some with solutions, and some without solutions. It is these growing pains that constitute a living history of American universities.
