Description

It is no surprise that Friends pioneered on race and gender issues, it’s less widely recognized that most trustees at early Johns Hopkins were Friends or more women ministers came from a Quaker school on the turn of the 20 th century than every other institution. This book overthrows stereotypes about religion in education with data about interactions between Friends, Holiness, liberalism, and other currents.

Azusa Pacific, Barclay, Bryn Mawr, Cornell, Earlham, Friends, George Fox, Guilford, Haverford, Johns Hopkins, Malone, Swarthmore, Whittier, William Penn, and Wilmington cover the gamut in academia. Founded by Friends explains why Quakers founded 15 colleges and universities and how and why these changed through the years. It notes how these schools are informed by, and typically shaped by, a Quaker heritage. For students of race, gender, and peace studies in higher education, this book, funded by Azusa Pacific, Bryn Mawr, Cornell, Earlham, Guilford, Haverford, Johns Hopkins, and Swarthmore, will likely be a centerpiece on your collection.
