This book explores the evolution of the concept of a university as seen through the lens of one of the United States' oldest and most distinguished institutions, Rice University in Texas. The author takes a deep dive into the archives to reveal the hopes and dreams of its founder and the challenges faced in his quest to build a world-class institution in the early 1900s.
