Overview

""Adventures in Money Raising"" offers an insightful firsthand account of the challenges and triumphs involved in the administration and financial development of an American institution of higher learning. Written by Cornelius Martin Steffens, who served as the president of the University of Dubuque, this work provides a detailed outline of the presidential duties required to sustain and grow a university during the early 20th century. The narrative focuses on the art and science of fundraising, detailing the various experiences and strategies employed to secure the resources necessary for institutional longevity. Beyond mere financial tactics, the book explores the spiritual and educational vision that guided the university's mission. Readers will find a historical perspective on the evolution of university leadership, the relationship between a college and its community, and the personal dedication required to navigate the complexities of academic stewardship.
