"We are All Islanders to Begin With": The University of Chicago and the World in the Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

Since 1996, John W. Boyer, Dean of the College and the Martin A. Ryerson distinguished service professor of History at The University of Chicago, has written an Occasional Papers on Higher Education series focusing on The University of Chicago.  Of particular interest to me and hopefully many IHEC Blog readers is Volume XVII "We are All Islanders to Begin With": The University of Chicago and the World in the Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries. 

To be sure, "We are All Islanders to Begin With": The University of Chicago and the World in the Late Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries is a history of the University of Chicago but this publication provides an excellent overview of campus international efforts, collaboration and thinking during the early twentieth century through present day.

You can access all of the volumes in Boyer’s Occasional Papers on Higher Education here.  I just received a hard copy of this publication for my Bury Book International Education Library & Archive.
