This first edition of “The University of Iowa in the Twentieth Century” by Stow Persons offers a comprehensive institutional history of one of the nation’s premier public research universities.

With meticulous research and a engaging narrative style, he chronicles the university’s growth, challenges, and achievements throughout the tumultuous 20th century. From the impact of world wars and the Great Depression to the student protests of the 1960s and the rise of cutting-edge research programs, this volume provides a fascinating window into the forces that shaped higher education in America. Collectors of academic histories and Iowa memorabilia will appreciate this well-preserved copy as a valuable addition to their libraries.
