Fordham: A History and Memoir, Revised Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780823229772)

Fordham University is the quintessential American-Catholic institution--and one now looked upon as among the best Catholic universities in the country. Its story is also the story of New York, especially the Bronx, and
Fordham's commitment to the city during its rise, fall, and rebirth. It's a story of Jesuits, soldiers, alumni who fought in World Wars, chaplains, teachers, and administrators who made bold moves and big mistakes, of
presidents who thought small and those who had vision. And of the first women, students and faculty, who helped bring Fordham into the 20th century. Finally it's the story of an institution's attempt to keep its Jesuit
and Catholic identity as it strives for leadership in a competitive world.
