Frederick, Rudolph. American College and University: A History. Athens, GA: University of Georgia Press, 1990.

== Summary ==
Frederick Rudolph's 1962 examines 
the social, economic, and political movements in U.S. history, from the
Revolutionary War and the Civil War to the rise of science and the Progressive
Era, and the impact these movements had on the shaping of the American college
and university. Well into the 1990s, this book was the key text for understanding the evolution of the American college and university. More recently, John Thelin has updated this work, offering new insight onto the colonial college and the changes since World War II.
