Bowman, Rex; & Santos, Carlos / Rot Riot & Rebellion: Mr. Jefferson's Struggle to Save University That Changed America

[A] gripping, chronicle of 'Mr. Jefferson's university, '... Bowman and Santos bring to life the university's growing pains through a roughly year-by-year account of the unruly and out-of-control students who 'randomly [shot] at passersby' and dogs, 'whip[ped] professors, ' disrupted classes in various ways, and settled disputes with knives.... [T]he school grew into what Jefferson had imagined: a secular place of learning where students could forge their own academic paths, and where they could govern themselves--innovations that have come to largely define the modern American university. --author of Publishers Weekly
