UNIVERSITY HISTORIES

The history of the University has been written in small and large ways from its beginning in 1850.

Book-length versions include:

History of the University of Rochester by Arthur J. May (Unabridged version)
Upon his retirement in 1964 after almost 40 years of teaching European history at the University of Rochester, Professor Arthur J. May was appointed University Historian to write a history of the University. He and his two research assistants had nearly completed the first draft at the time of May's sudden death in June 1968. The manuscript draft, exquisitely detailed, was too long to publish as a single volume. His draft--unabridged and unpolished--is presented here.
History of the University of Rochester, 1850-1962 by Arthur J. May ; edited and abridged by Lawrence E. Klein.
After May's death, Lawrence E. Klein (UR 1971) was employed to abridge the manuscript to book length. This abridged version was then published in 1977. Copies are available in Rush Rhees Library.
