Product Review
"It is a dispassionate account and indeed does not gloss over the controversies and problems at what has become a well-regarded university with more than 27,000 students at Storrs and other campuses around the state."--Hartford Courant
"Written in celebration of the university's 125th anniversary, this historical account traces the school from its beginnings as an agricultural college through its expansion and changes during the Great Depression and World Wars to become one of New England's prominent public universities."--Columbia College Today
Product Review
"Red Brick in the Land of Steady Habits is a model institutional history. Bruce Stave, a longtime faculty member at the University of Connecticut, has balanced the insight and enthusiasm of an insider with the detachment and scholarly objectivity of a skilled historian. He has placed campus events and personalities within the framework of state and local developments. This 'unofficial' narrative of the school's first 125 years is exhaustively researched, meticulously footnoted, and written with grace and flashes of humor. It can be read with profit and enjoyment by anyone interested in higher education in the United States." (Herbert Janick, Professor Emeritus. Western Connecticut State University )
