Synopsis

This history of the University of Manchester takes the story from the centenary of Owens College in 1951, to the introduction of the new Charter in 1973. It provides a frank and entertaining account of the University's attempts to meet the government's demands for the rapid expansion of higher education in the 1950s and 1960s, looking at the University's ambitious building program, controversial attempts to reform its constitution, and its accommodation to students' and younger academics' questioning of hierarchical principles and paternalistic attitudes. Distributed by Palgrave. Pullan taught modern history at the University of Manchester from 1973 to 1998. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
