Reviews
"Jack Newell has written what is undoubtedly the most comprehensive history of Telluridean institutions currently in existence. .... Newell's fluid prose is enhanced throughout by extended quotes from archival materials presented in full or near full, as well as an array of photographs."-- Telluride Association Newsletter , "A unique, thorough work by an outstanding, established historian and philosopher of education. It fills a void in institutional and regional history." --John R. Thelin, author of A History of American Higher Education, "This elegant volume is as informative as it is fascinating. More than a study or a story, this account is an absorbing exploration of one of the most unusual and important examples of liberal education in the United States." --Katherine E. Chaddock, author of Visions and Vanities: John Andrew Rice of Black Mountain College , "A unique, thorough work by an outstanding, established historian and philosopher of education. It fills a void in institutional and regional history." --John R. Thelin, author of A History of American Higher Education , "A thoroughly researched and fair-minded history of one of the world's most unique colleges. I recommend it without reservation to any and all who care about education and learning." --F. Ross Peterson, author of Prophet without Honor: Glen H. Taylor and the Fight for American Liberalism , "Jack Newell has written what is undoubtedly the most comprehensive history of Telluridean institutions currently in existence....

Newell's fluid prose is enhanced throughout by extended quotes from archival materials presented in full or near full, as well as an array of photographs."-- Telluride Association Newsletter , "Newell's personal involvement brings an interesting element of memoir into the narrative, and he balances his position as participant and chronicler with an even voice. Under the pen of a less skilled writer, the book's details might have been overwhelming, but Newell's engaging prose creates an account that will be of interest to historians of the West and education."-- Western Historical Quarterly , "Newell's personal involvement brings an interesting element of memoir into the narrative, and he balances his position as participant and chronicler with an even voice.
