College On The Rio Grande: The Story Of A Small School

First published in 1989, Paige Christiansen's history of "a small school" was a celebration of the centennial of the New Mexico School of Mines (now New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, aka New Mexico Tech). Covering the educational, social, cultural and political history of New Mexico Tech between 1889 and 1989, "College on the Rio Grande" incorporates anecdotes and photos from the school's early years. Christiansen starts by exploring the many factors that led to the creation of a school of mining in a small, rural town in New Mexico. He then delves into the development and growth of the campus, student body, and faculty as well as many noteworthy research and science programs still going strong today. This is an enjoyable and informative read for those interested in the history of New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. 9780826365996 082636599X 0 BOOK NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Z-hU0AEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
