To celebrate its two and a half centuries of service to Nation and Commonwealth, the College commissioned this set of six studies on various aspects of its institutional history. The Network for Vocation in Undergraduate Education (NetVUE), a program of the Council of Independent Colleges, supported by the Lilly Endowment and member dues, generously funded this project.
