520 Science as Service: Establishing and Reformulating
American Land-Grant Universities, 1865-1930 is the first
of a two-volume study that traces the foundation and
evolution of America's land-grant institutions. In this
expertly curated collection of essays, Alan I Marcus has
assembled a tough-minded account of the successes and set-
backs of these institutions during the first sixty-five
years of their existence. In myriad scenes, vignettes, and
episodes from the history of land-grant colleges, these
essays demonstrate the defining characteristic of these
institutions: their willingness to proclaim and pursue
science in the service of the publics and students they
serve. The Morrill Land-Grant College Act of 1862 created
a series of institutions-at least one in every state and
territory-with now familiar names: Michigan State
University, Ohio State University, Purdue University,
Rutgers University, the University of Arizona, and the
University of California, to name a few. These schools
opened educational opportunities and pathways to a
significant segment of the American public and gave the
United States a global edge in science, technical
innovation, and agriculture. Science as Service provides
an essential body of literature for understanding the
transformations of the land-grant colleges established by
the Morrill Act in 1862 as well as the considerable impact
they had on the history of the United States. Historians
of science, technology, and agriculture, along with rural
sociologists, public decision and policy makers, educators,
and higher education administrators will find this an
essential addition to their book collections.
