30 miles north

"The first book-length history of Lake Forest College, 30 Miles North draws on both newly obtained and long-lost information to tell an unexpectedly varied and dramatic story of this liberal arts college's almost 150 years of existence. The narrative sheds new light on aspects of the history of Lake Forest and Chicago, too, and the interconnectedness of all three communities. Recent archival findings bear on a range of topics, including higher education, women and co-education, collegiate athletics, architecture and landscape architecture, society, Presbyterianism, antislavery and the Civil War years, the Chicago Literary Renaissance and the Reform Era, and the turbulent 1960s." "The book brings to life Lake Forest College's heritage, a significant educational record illuminated by the contexts of a unique residential community and one of America's great cities."--BOOK JACKET.
