Description “Focusing on the negotiation and conflicts among different coalitions of faculty members and administrators who had divergent and sometimes opposed view about MIT's future, its educational policies, and its proper relations with industrial pursuits, this essay analyzes and interprets the haphazard and contested transformation of the Institute into a permeable institution closely allied to industrial corporations during the Progressive Era.”
