| Summary |
"The central theme of this history is the Free University in Amsterdam as a special and private institution founded to provide distinctively Christian higher education. Arie Theodorus van Deursen he recounts the engrossing history of this unique university at its 125th year, using fully documented archival sources to detail the school's ups and downs over the years. He succeeds admirably in fulfilling the task of a historian: making complexity comprehensible."--BOOK JACKET |
