Focusing on the transformative impact of science and technology in the nineteenth century, W. Nikola-Lisa details the evolution of America's higher education. The narrative highlights the shift from classical liberal arts to a more reformative curriculum, driven by mutual education societies and the establishment of polytechnic schools.

The author underscores the significant pedagogical changes, particularly the rise of hands-on laboratory instruction in scientific education.
