Summary:
With a foreword by Thomas D. Clark Eastern Kentucky University (EKU)
in Richmond, Kentucky, will celebrate its centennial in 2006. EKU has
had a colorful history, from the political quandaries surrounding the
inception of its predecessor institutions to its financial
difficulties during the Depression to its maturing as a leading
regional university. Reflecting on the social, economic, and cultural
changes in the region over the last century, William E. Ellis follows
each university president's administration in the context of the
times. Interviews of alumni, faculty, staff, and political figures
add to the story. A History of Eastern Kentucky University is an
essential resource for those interested in a vital educational
institution and in the progression of public higher education in
Kentucky and the region.
