THE MODERN LAND-GRANT UNIVERSITY

Editor: Robert J. Sternberg

Publisher: Purdue University Press

ISBN-13: 978-1557536778  

In an increasingly competitive higher education environment, public universities are seeking ways to differentiate themselves. This book suggests that a hopeful vision of what a university should be lies in a reexamination of the land-grant mission, the common system of values originally set forth in the Morrill Land Grant Acts of 1862 and 1890, which established a new system of practically oriented higher learning across the United States. While hard to define, these values are often expressed by the one hundred or so institutions that currently define themselves as land grants under the three pillars of research, teaching, and engagement/extension.
