A generation of scholarship dismantling the conventional wisdom on nineteenth-century American higher education has been a well-kept secret. Thanks to Roger Geiger, some of the best is finally under one cover. This collection forces us to reach new understandings of periodization, regional variations, and student life, and to place universities in a realistic social context.<br>Bruce Leslie, State University of New York-Brockport
