Helpful thematic overview of higher education history. Positions itself as a more encompassing overview than similar works. Most chapters include an obligatory section on minority groups and gender differences. Enjoyed learning about connections to colonial colleges and the role of higher education in national movements. The analysis of institutional "prestige" over time was particularly insightful.
