Hardback. Condition: New. The discovery and imparting of knowledge are the essential undertakings of any university. Such purposes determined John Carroll, SJ's modest and surprisingly ecumenical proposal to establish an academy on the banks of the Potomac for the education of the young in the early republic. What began earnestly in 1789 still continues today: the idea of Georgetown University as a Catholic university situated squarely in the American experience. Beautifully designed with over 300 illustrations and photographs, "A History of Georgetown University" tells the remarkable story of the administrators, boards, faculty, students, and programs that have made Georgetown a leading institution of higher education. With a keen eye for detail, historian Robert Emmett Curran - a member of the Georgetown community for over three decades - explores the broader perspective of Georgetown's sense of identity and its place in American culture.Volume One traces Georgetown's evolution during its first century, from its beginnings as an academy within the American Catholic community of the Revolutionary War era through its flowering as a college before the Civil War to its postbellum achievements as a university. Volume Two highlights the efforts of administrators and faculty over the next seventy-five years to make Georgetown an ascending and increasingly diverse institution with a range of graduate programs and professional schools. Volume Three examines Georgetown's remarkable rise to prominence as an internationally recognized research university - both culturally engaged and cosmopolitan while remaining grounded in its Catholic and Jesuit character. Each volume features numerous illustrations, photographs, and appendices that include student demographics, enrollments, and lists of board members.…

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. This documentary survey explores the experiences of Roman Catholics in the British Atlantic world from Maryland to Barbados and Nova Scotia to Jamaica between 1605 and 1791. It chronicles the early attempts by the British Catholic community to establish colonies in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, their presence in proprietary and royal colonies during the seventeenth century where some degree of toleration was granted, and their subsequent marginalization following the political revolution of 1688. The narrative highlights their transformation from aliens to citizens, driven by their significant contributions to wars in the latter half of the century, which ultimately led to the independence of many colonies within Britain's American Empire. The volume organizes a diverse range of documents, including broadsides, newspapers, legislative acts, correspondence, diaries, and reports, into topical chapters with contextual introductions. This structure provides students and general readers with direct access to historical materials. Additionally, it serves as a complement to a previous narrative history on the same subject, enriching the understanding of Catholic experiences in British America.…
