Southern Illinois University at Ed­wardsville now has as its main campus 2,600 acres of gently rolling Mississip­pi River bluff land in the heart of the Madison-St. Clair two-county area, commonly known as Metro East, the opening of which in 1965 this book seeks to commemorate. The book pro­vides a view of the emergence of a major university in a 25-year period, 10 of these years on the Edwardsville campus. The more than 50 photographs chosen for this retrospective view complement the account of the educational philos­ophy, chief executives, faculty and cur­riculum, students and alumni of the University.

This bibliography brings together in one comprehensive volume citations of books, dissertations, theses, and ERIC microfiche relating to the history of specific institutions of higher education worldwide. All types of postsecondary institutions--two years colleges, liberal arts colleges, seminaries, specialized institutions, and universities--are included. Entries include the following elements when available: author/editor, title, place of publication, publisher, publication date, and number of pages. Citations from 85 countries are included. Entries are by country, dependency, and territory. The United States has been further divided by state. Names of institutions are in English. References are in the language in which they were written. The majority of the citations should be available in a library somewhere in the United States. Obscure sources that may be difficult to obtain have been included because they are often the only citation. All editions of a title as well as older works are included because of their potential value to a researcher. The book should be a part of all college, university, and large public library collections. College of Education faculty members specializing in higher or comparative education will find much of value here.
