January 15, 2014: The December 2013 issue of History of Universities, published by Oxford University Press, pays tribute to Berkeley emeritus professor of history and former CSHE director Sheldon Rothblatt. The festschrift of articles by nine noted higher-education scholars honors his “truly monumental” contributions over the past fifty years “to the study of higher learning, of higher education, and to the history of universities,” write Roy Lowe and Yoshihito Yasuhara. “During this period there has been hardly any debate in these fields which has not owed something to him. His work has repeatedly challenged those around him to reconsider and to redefine their inquiries.”
