Description
Summary:Student life and spirit, the influence of the YMCA and YWCA movements on the campus, the creation of a Women's Department and the rise of the positions of dean of women and dean of men, literary and debating societies, military and physical training, musical performance groups, the fraternity system, and the place of intercollegiate athletics are all given attention as they emerge to round out the University of that period. The author cites the role of the governing body, the Board of Trustees, as being a bridge between the University president and the faculty on the one hand, and the governor and members of the General Assembly on the other. [...]he acknowledges the age-old tug-of-war that ebbs and flows between a university administration on the one hand, and the deans and faculty on the other.
