Book review explores Morrill's efforts to establish Land-Grant Colleges, highlighting educational reforms and challenges.
Coy F. Cross's biography, Justin Smith Morrill: Father of the Land-Grant Colleges, is a short but informative look at the life and many accomplishments of its subject. Although the author's style is sometimes disconnected, the book would make a valuable addition to any library on Extension. It is particularly valuable for its recounting of Morrill's persistent efforts to establish the Land-Grant System in the face of vehement opposition, but the book also covers other facets of his long and distinguished career.
