University Builder: Edgar Odell Lovett and the Founding of the Rice Institute Hardcover - 2007
by John B. Boles
From the rear cover
"Thanks to John Boles's superb biography, Lovett, founding president of the Rice Institute, can now take his rightful place in the procession of great 'university builders' in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries." -- John R. Thelin, History of Education Quarterly
"An inspiring saga, beautifully told. The leadership of one remarkable man in bringing Rice University from empty Texas prairie to a superb university is one of the great stories of higher education. We are fortunate that such a gifted historian has brought it to us." -- Edward L. Ayers, president, University of Richmond, and author of The Promise of the New South: Life after Reconstruction
Rice University, one of America's preeminent institutions of higher education, grew out of the vision, direction, and leadership of one man: Edgar Odell Lovett (1871--1957). This updated edition of University Builder tells the fascinating story of an extraordinary educator and the unique school he created. Released in conjunction with the centennial anniversary of Rice University, John Boles's book provides both a compelling biographical narrative and an absorbing account of American higher education in the first half of the twentieth century.
