On its way to becoming one of the world's most celebrated research universities, Penn exemplified the role of urban renewal in the postwar redevelopment and expansion of urban universities, and the indispensable part these institutions played in the remaking of American cities. Yet urban renewal is only one aspect of this history. Drawing from Philadelphia's extensive archives as well as the University's own historical records and publications, John L. Puckett and Mark Frazier Lloyd examine Penn's rise to eminence amid the social, moral, and economic forces that transformed major public and private institutions across the nation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBecoming Penn\u003c\/i\u003e recounts the shared history of university politics and urban policy as the campus grappled with twentieth-century racial tensions, gender inequality, labor conflicts, and economic retrenchment. Examining key policies and initiatives of the administrations led by presidents Gaylord Harnwell, Martin Meyerson, Sheldon Hackney, and Judith Rodin, Puckett and Lloyd revisit the actors, organizations, and controversies that shaped campus life in this turbulent era. Illustrated with archival photographs of the campus and West Philadelphia neighborhood throughout the late twentieth century, \u003ci\u003eBecoming Penn\u003c\/i\u003e provides a sweeping portrait of one university's growth and impact within the broader social history of American higher education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e PART I THE BUILDER\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1 Rise of the Urban Renewal University\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2 Campus Expansion and Commercial Renewal in Unit 4\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3 Shadow Expansion in Unit 3\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4 Student Protest and the End of the Great Expansion\u003cbr\u003e PART II THE VISIONARY\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5 Martin Meyerson's Dream of One University\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6 Identity Politics in the Arena\u003cbr\u003e PART III THE CONCILIATOR\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7 A Decade of Racial Discord\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8 Throes of Diversity\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9 Penn and the City Inextricably Intertwined\u003cbr\u003e PART IV THE IMPLEMENTER\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10 Triumph in University City\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 11 Agenda for Excellence\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 12 Harnwell Redux\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion: In Franklin's Name\u003cbr\u003e Appendix The Urban Renewal University: A Typology\u003cbr\u003e List of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52555718754584,"sku":"9780812246803","price":40.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/becoming-penn-the-pragmatic-american-university-1950-2000-hardback-9780812246803","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
