Description
"Mind and Hand traces the ideas about science and education that have shaped MIT and defined its mission - from the new science of the Enlightenment era and the ideals of representative democracy spurred by the Industrial Revolution to new theories on the nature and role of higher education in nineteenth-century America. MIT emerged in mid-century as an experiment in scientific and technical education, with its origins in the tension between these old and new ideas."--Jacket.
