The significant contribution of Berry College: A History is that it presents the detailed story of an understudied institution in an understudied institutional category--namely, small private liberal arts colleges in the South. The book also pays justifiable homage to an important figure, Martha Berry, and has a broader appeal to Appalachian studies.
--John R. Thelin "author of A History of American Higher Education "A great tribute to a great school. Martha Berry would be delighted.
--Joseph E. Dabney "James Beard Award-winning author of Smokehouse Ham, Spoon Bread, and Scuppernong Wine "This is an interesting historical account of Berry College and the opportunities and challenges of those who follow a true visionary.
--Kay Davis Dunn, PhD. "Founding Executive Director, Fernbank Museum of Natural History "This is a splendid and attractive work . . . told with balance and perspective. Institutional successes and short-comings are dealt with frankly, but commitment to Berry's mission by successive generations of the college community has maintained and enhanced the motto and hallmark of a Berry education. For colleges considering the preparation of their own historical volume, Berry College: A History, provides an excellent model.
--Georgia Historical QuarterlyA detailed narrative of the rise and progress of an important educational institution working and serving in Appalachia . . . This book is recommended for all Appalachian regional and higher education collections.
--Appalachian JournalThis is the most detailed and comprehensive history to date of Berry College. . . . Their meticulous research draws on a rich trove of documents to reveal a story that surpasses many of the familiar and beloved tales connected to the school.
--McCormick MessengerThe story of the rise of Berry College to national prominence is candidly told in this book. For those of us educated at Berry, it is a reminder of our good fortune. And for others, it is an example of a formula that works--an education of the head, the heart and the hands.
--Jerry C. Davis "President, College of the Ozarks ""About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
