• W1569189802 abstract "The University of Illinois, 1894-1904: The Shaping of University. By Winton U. Solberg. (Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 2000. Pp. xv, 415. Illustrations, tables, index. Cloth, $50.00) Though many of us who teach at any of other publicly funded institutions of higher learning Illinois sometimes hate to admit it, University of Illinois, especially its main campus Urbana-Champaign, is one of this country's greatest educational treasures. From its rather humble beginnings as Illinois Industrial University 1867, U of I, as it has affectionately become known to nearly everyone state if not entire Midwest, and its thousands of graduates have, over last one-hundred-- and-thirty-plus years, gained well-deserved, worldwide fame. It was, then, inevitable that persons closely connected with university would want to have its told - again and again. In 1917, first full of University, alumnus Allan Nevins' Illinois, appeared as a part of Oxford University Press's popular American College and University Series. Though he based his book mainly on secondary sources, Nevins, later to become one of this nation's pre-eminent historians, left no doubt that in face of its history, there was nothing that could daunt University years ahead. As if to demonstrate that such a prediction had become reality, University of Illinois Press 1950 produced a lavishly illustrated (and still quite interesting) picture history of university that it entitled Illini Years, 1868-1950. During school's centennial year, press also published Roger Ebert's fascinating edited account of University's past through eyes of editors and writers of Daily Illini, one of oldest and most prestigious student newspapers America today. Long before centennial gala 1967, however, it was clear to men such as then-President David D. Henry that University needed a carefully researched and reasoned one volume, up-to-date that would go far beyond anything then available. It was perfect project for school's centennial, and Professor Winton U. Solberg of University's Department of History agreed to take on job. As he dug into massive archival collections, however, he soon became convinced that such a book was not possible. Though he had planned a work that would be critical and interpretative down to recent past (1955) and descriptive thereafter, his final draft, and book that University of Illinois Press published 1968, only offered readers a of university's first twentyseven years. The University of Illinois, 1867-1894: An Intellectual and Cultural History was thorough, exceptionally well written, and fascinating its details. Reviewers praised Solberg's text as standard on which all future studies of University would have to be based, but, as they did so, they all expressed hope that it would not be long before the rest of story would be told as much detail. No one 1968 could have possibly expected it to take another thirty-two years before University of Illinois Press would be able to publish now long-anticipated second volume. The University of Illinois, 18941904: The Shaping of University will disappoint those readers who hoped that any new work would bring university's somewhere near contemporary present. As its title clearly indicates, this newest volume covers just ten years of school's development - decade after 1894. Now, after nearly 900 pages of text two volumes, University's official has barely advanced into twentieth century. If Press continues at such a pace, readers will not have an in-depth account of our present day until sometime around year 2400. By that time, there will be at least ten or perhaps twelve separate volumes and no less than 5000 pages. …" @default.
