The Emergence of the American University

The Emergence of the American University is a non-fiction book in the history of education by Laurence R. Veysey, published in the 1965 by University of Chicago Press. It "trac[es] the development of the modern American university during its formative years from 1865 to 1910".[1] It is based on and shortened from Veysey's doctoral dissertation.[2]

Deemed "a major contribution to the history and sociology of American education" when first published,[3] the book continues to garner attention decades after its publication. Kevin Carey says "Fifty years later, the ideas Veysey developed in two years of white-hot scholarly intensity continue to shape our basic understanding of academe."[4]

Christopher Loss called it the "founding text" "for historians interested in tracking the organization, production, and consumption of knowledge in the United States", introducing a 2005 special issue.[5] This 2005 special issue of History of Education Quarterly contains an introduction and 6 essays reflecting on the book, along with an obituary of Veysey, who died in 2004.[6]
