A University Remembers by Edwin Broun Fred, published in 1969 by the University of Wisconsin Press, is a memoir of Fred’s years as president of the University of Wisconsin from 1945 to 1958. This engaging and thoughtful work offers a firsthand account of major mid-century transformations in higher education, student life, research, and administrative leadership at one of the nation’s premier public universities.

This particular copy is signed and dated by the author on the title page: “Edwin B. Fred, Nov. 3, 1969.” Edwin Broun Fred (1887–1981) was a renowned bacteriologist and academic administrator, and his recollections provide not only personal insight but valuable institutional history, especially for those connected to the University of Wisconsin–Madison.

The book covers topics ranging from post-WWII student enrollment surges, evolving academic governance, and campus culture in the Cold War era, to the growing role of research and public service in the mission of the university.

Softcover, generally clean with some light wear.
