Reviews

"More than a guide, this is a thorough and engaging study of a great American institution."--Choice "George Thomas's and David Brownlee's Building America's First University is one of the best books on an American college... Their affectionate but comprehensive portrait of Penn demonstrates that the university is more than bricks and mortar: it is an expression of three centuries of idealism, compromise, aspiration, disappointment, and triumph."--Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography
