Transformations: A History of Boston University

by Kathleen Kilgore

Boston University celebrated its 150th anniversary in 1989, and author Kathleen Kilgore has written its first full-length history.

Using oral history as well as the written record, Kilgore brings the reader into the life of a university in times of political crisis, war, prosperity, and depression. She takes us along the historic, and sometimes tortuous, journey from a brick schoolhouse in rural Vermont to a modern campus with branches in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
