Résumé:

This history tells of the formative years, of the conflicts and tragedies of the Civil War, of the 1892 fire which destroyed the main building. This is the story, too, of the rise from ashes to meet the challenges of the twentieth century - wars, depression, and the changing patterns of American life.
