Eliot the Radical Reformer Who Built Harvard
A portrait of Charles William Eliot in Harvard’s sunlit Harvard Hall office describes his long presidency from 1869 to 1909, his reforming education ethos, and the university’s growth from 1059 to over 6000 students. It recalls early opposition, later loyalty, and his ideal of a comprehensive American education built from kindergarten onward, solidifying Harvard’s golden era.
