"The most complete and intensive analysis of what [Lewis] defines as the Cold War or what might be described as the inquisitional onslaught by federal and state 'un-American' committees on the integrity and independence of the American professorate during 1946-56." -Edward C. McDonagh, The American Journal of Education "Lewis's work reinforces a fundamental point. Administrators at over one hundred institutions share responsibility for actions that helped strike a tragic blow to academic freedom and intellectual culture during the 1950s. They were participants in a campaign of political expedience and aggression-along with thousands of national leaders." -David R. Homes, Journal of Higher Education

The "cold war university" is the academic component of the military-industrial-academic complex, and its archetype, according to Rebecca Lowen, is Stanford University. Her book challenges the conventional wisdom that the post-World War II "multiversity" was created by military patrons on the one hand and academic scientists on the other and points instead to the crucial role played by university administrators in making their universities dependent upon military, foundation, and industrial patronage. Contesting the view that the "federal grant university" originated with the outpouring of federal support for science after the war, Lowen shows how the Depression had put financial pressure on universities and pushed administrators to seek new modes of funding. She also details the ways that Stanford administrators transformed their institution to attract patronage. With the end of the cold war and the tightening of federal budgets, universities again face pressures not unlike those of the 1930s. Lowen's analysis of how the university became dependent on the State is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of higher education in the post-cold war era.

As the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union escalated in the 1950s and 1960s, the federal government directed billions of dollars to American universities to promote higher enrollments, studies of foreign languages and cultures, and, especially, scientific research. In Cold War University, Matthew Levin traces the paradox that developed: higher education became increasingly enmeshed in the Cold War struggle even as university campuses became centers of opposition to Cold War policies. The partnerships between the federal government and major research universities sparked a campus backlash that provided the foundation, Levin argues, for much of the student dissent that followed. At the University of Wisconsin in Madison, one of the hubs of student political activism in the 1950s and 1960s, the protests reached their flashpoint with the 1967 demonstrations against campus recruiters from Dow Chemical, the manufacturers of napalm. Levin documents the development of student political organizations in Madison in the 1950s and the emergence of a mass movement in the decade that followed, adding texture to the history of national youth protests of the time. He shows how the University of Wisconsin tolerated political dissent even at the height of McCarthyism, an era named for Wisconsin's own virulently anti-Communist senator, and charts the emergence of an intellectual community of students and professors that encouraged new directions in radical politics. Some of the events in Madison—especially the 1966 draft protests, the 1967 sit-in against Dow Chemical, and the 1970 Sterling Hall bombing—have become part of the fabric of "The Sixties," touchstones in an era that continues to resonate in contemporary culture and politics.

On September 9, 2002, the MIT program in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) held the first in a week-long series of events marking the inaugural anniversary of 9/11. The goal was to stimulate "personal reflection and remembrance" of the tragedy and its aftermath among members of the MIT administration, faculty, students, and staff. In her welcoming address to those assembled in Killian Hall for a colloquium titled, "MIT in a Dangerous World," historian and director of the STS program Rosalind Williams shared her hope that, by "the end of this week, MIT's motto of 'Mind and Hand' will somewhat be modified to remind us all that it's mind, hand, and heart that have to work together."3 The point of the colloquium, she explained, was to broadly consider MIT's social and moral responsibilities in a new era of global conflict.

This book examines the harassment of the Johns Hopkins University sinologist Owen Lattimore during the height of the Cold War on campus. It moves from detailing the specifics of Lattimore's case to a discussion of the broader themes of academic governance that the case exposed. With his meticulous dissection of this major event in United States academic history, Lewis shows us much about the workings of academic governance.
