Written in celebration of UConn's 125th anniversary, this volume traces how the university emerged from its foundation as a tiny agricultural college to become the leading public university in New England. Organized chronologically by the administrations of the University of Connecticut's thirteen presidents, Red Brick in the Land of Steady Habits discusses internal developments, such as the creation of a major research library, the founding of professional schools, student life, athletics, and national research funding, within the broad historical context of particular presidential eras. The author traces the impact of the Great Depression, World War II and the postwar G.I. Bill, the McCarthy and cold war eras, Vietnam and other protests, diversity and curriculum reform, NCAA athletics, and the economic boom of the 1990s. Throughout, Stave shows how the national and international scene shaped events as Connecticut leaders transformed a serene, rural campus - a provincial safety school - into a competitive national research university.
