Abstract

Indiana University celebrates its 175tb anniversary in 1995. When it was founded in 1820, there were fewer than 65 institutions of higher education in America; now there are more than 2,000. As one of this country's oldest state universities, IU has grown from a tiny wilderness outpost to a major academic center. This growth echoes familiar themes in the history of American edu­cation.

Description

Published by the IU Alumni Association as part of the 1995 Indiana University Historical Calendar, a commemorative piece of the Indiana Alumni Magazine.
