Title: Making Harvard modern
Description: "Making Harvard Modern is a portrait of America's most prominent university from 1933 to the present: seven decades of dramatic change. Early-twentieth-century Harvard was the country's oldest and richest university, but not necessarily its outstanding one. By the century's end it was widely regarded as the nation's, and the world's, leading institution of higher education.

With verve, humor, and insight, Morton and Phyllis Keller tell the story of that rise: a tale of compelling personalities, notable achievement, and no-less-notable academic pratfalls. Their book is based on rich and revealing archival materials, interviews, and personal experience."--BOOK JACKET.
