Transylvania University: Its Origin, Rise, Decline, And Fall (1896) is a historical account of Transylvania University, a prominent educational institution in Kentucky, United States. The book is authored by Robert Peter, a former student and professor at the university. The book covers the founding of Transylvania University in 1780, its early years as a frontier school, and its growth into a respected center of higher education in the region. Peter describes the university's curriculum, faculty, and student life during its heyday in the 19th century. However, the book also delves into the decline of Transylvania University, including financial struggles and competition from other universities. Peter also discusses the impact of the Civil War on the university and its subsequent fall from grace. The book provides a detailed look at the history of Transylvania University and its role in shaping education in Kentucky and the United States. It is a valuable resource for historians, educators, and anyone interested in the history of higher education in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
