内容説明
An alternative model for higher education was commonly discussed during the era of the Englightenment with an emphasis on useful vocational learning, notably how to apply science to society, and under the control of an informed urban elite. Professor John Anderson (1726-96) put these ideas into practical form by leaving most of his property for the foundation of a new university. The University of Strathclyde has had many changes of name and several mergers since its foundation in the age of Adam Smith. Its emphasis on scientific and technical education served the needs of an urban society subject to rapid social and economic change. From the 1850s it had international links which grew substantially in the following 150 years. By 1910, it was Scotland's premier centre for scientific and technical education. This illustrated book tells the story of the university, from its visionary founder, John Anderson, to the many eminent men and women who now steer it towards the millennium, its reputation now deservedly international.
