In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Acknowledgments We must thank many individuals for bringing this volume together. First, we wish to thank President Lou Anna K. Simon of Michigan State University for providing the thoughtful foreword for the volume. Presidents like Dr. Simon who recognize the value of the traditions and heritage of their campuses have a special place in the hearts of their alumni, students, faculty, and larger community. We are also indebted to our colleagues who shared their insights into the archaeology and history of their respective campuses. Many are old friends and treasured senior colleagues. All have laid a precedent-setting foundation in this volume. We hope its publication will support not only their ongoing work but that of future researchers on college and school campuses throughout the world. Within our programs we are indebted to our colleagues in our academic home departments at Michigan State and Santa Clara Universities. We specifically thank Dr. Lynne Goldstein of Michigan State for her active support of this work and Christopher Valvano for the care and skill that went into the production of the line drawings in Chapter 2. At Santa Clara University we gratefully acknowledge the support of the Archaeology Research Lab and the offices of the president, the provost, and the dean of arts and sciences. Gail Gradowski, the librarian in Santa Clara's Orradre Library, helped with the initial research on American education and has always been a big supporter. At the eleventh hour Elwood Mills of Santa Clara University Media Services finalized many of the figures that appear in this book. God bless him. Thanks are due acquisitions editor Eli Bortz and editor John Byram of the University Press of Florida for their encouragement and enthusiasm for this project. Thanks also to the individuals who reviewed the original manuscript . Their insights made it all the better. We gratefully acknowledge the excellent copyediting of the book by Kathy Burford Lewis. Last, we reserve our greatest thanks for Melissa K. Johnson, a doublemajor in anthropology and history at Santa Clara University, whose eye for detail brought this volume together. We could never have done it without her. ...
