"Philanthropy and American Higher Education follows the issues that have persisted
in giving and receiving philanthropy to American colleges and universities from the
seventeenth century to present day. Through historical, philosophical, economic and
legal perspectives, along with data analysis, Thelin and Trollinger outline their
belief that support of higher education through philanthropy is central to the historic
and future character of colleges and universities. This timely work is essential to
the present and future financial planning and academic direction of institutions,
and the future of philanthropy for colleges and universities across the country" ;
"Philanthropy and American Higher Education brings to life the past and present issues
that have made giving and receiving central to our colleges and universities from
the 17th century to the 21st century. The book is intended to be timely for higher
education leaders - including presidents, provosts, deans, board members, professors,
and alumni--as well as nonprofit sector and foundations. This combination of historical,
philosophical, economic and legal perspectives make each chapter a self-contained
essay and analysis. Throughout the work our aim is to distill significant scholarly
works so as to be pertinent to the present and future planning for sound institutional
activities and directions. And, in addition to the analytic perspective of information
and data analysis, this book reflects and is animated by our underlying belief that
support of higher education through philanthropy is central to the historic and future
character of colleges and universities"
