Comprehensive overview to Lehigh that all students of the university should enjoy July 3, 2007
Yates makes an excellent attempt at showing how Lehigh University developed throughout two periods since its founding in 1876. The university was ahead of its time when it was founded trying to combine science and engineering. While this is the myth that is propagated today we see that Lehigh remain largely fixated on the sciences and technical education. While in the late 1920's the school saw diversification it would still take a long time to develop a humanities curriculum.
This book is really only for those interested in the administration of Lehigh during its founding to the 1980's. It is a very well done book and those who have dealt with the administration will find its growth interesting. The 1960's section is probably one of the more interesting for current students and you can really see the modern part of the university being formed. The university has grown in many ways over the year from the entrance of women to cross disciplinary programs. This book gives a start to how the university organized and is a fascinating read for people who want to see Lehigh in the early and formative years to a long and hopefully bright future.
