Overview
Overview
Bound in red brushed leather. Limited numbered edition, #69 of 250. Signed by David Starr Jordan on the endpaper. Book has red-sprayed top edge. Comes with slipcase. This book reflected Jordan's vision for higher education: fostering research, liberal arts, equal access for men and women, and practicality. However, his legacy is complicated due to his support for eugenics and pseudoscientific ideas about racial fitness. He both supported innovation and meritocracy, and yet supported racial segregation. He would serve as Stanford University's first president. The book is in very good condition, with light soiling of the page edges and rubbing along the spine. The slipcase is in good condition, with heavy rubbing along the edges.
