The encyclopedia of college & university name histories
"During the past fifty years, higher education has undergone many changes. As these changes in the educational process and philosophy occurred, so did college and university names. While the news that a school has changed its name may receive passing mention in the media, such an event is a telling moment nevertheless. A college or university it not just an institution - it is a living, breathing entity with its own life and times, and its name is an integral part of its existence. A name can tell us something about the school's heritage, location, curricula, philosophy, ownership, religious affiliation, and in many cases its development, growth, and direction." "This useful reference work contains the complete name history, mergers, and location changes of over 1,300 U.S. college and universities, including a chronological listing with years of each name change, merger, or relocation."--BOOK JACKET
