Trade Review
A welcome contribution to the history of science in the South during the period since the Civil War.... By considering the academies in the larger context of scientific professionalism, South and North, Midgette has produced a surprisingly wide-ranging and informative study. This is overall a judicious and carefully researched work. The writing is straightforward and admirably clear, while the topic is effectively organized and presented. The book is a commendably original addition to local and regional history as well as history of American Science. - Journal of American History ""Midgette's study is thorough and well organized and should be consulted by anyone interested in American science and American higher education."" - Florida Historical Quarterly ""A very useful survey."" - Choice
