If you wish to understand the traditions of an American gem--the liberal arts college--this insightful volume is a perfect starting point. --W. Bruce Leslie, The College at Brockport-SUNY, author of Gentlemen and Scholars


“Franklin & Marshall exemplifies a unique American academic gem—the liberal arts college. Griffith insightfully chronicles a two-century commitment to an educational mission that remained remarkably consistent through changing intellectual currents and social conditions. This volume details how unlikely ventures launched by small German minorities in southeastern Pennsylvania eventually morphed into a nationally recognized institution. The book offers an affectionate description of the struggles and successes of one small college that will delight members of the Franklin & Marshall community, while also locating the story in a national context that will inform scholars.” —W. Bruce Leslie,The College at Brockport–SUNY, author of Gentlemen and Scholars “If you wish to understand the traditions of an American gem—the liberal arts college—this insightful volume is a perfect starting point.” —W.
