But after years of struggling to obtain funds for the University of Iowa, Virgil Hancher was deeply suspicious of the prospects for two competing state universities, and fought hard for an alternate vision. The result was a contest over educational philosophy, petty administrative details and bottom-line financial advantage, fought in both public forums and behind-the-scenes maneuvering.The product of more than two years’ archival research, "Hancher vs. Hilton" reintroduces the largely forgotten individuals behind two iconic names, whose full stories have gone untold for more than 50 years.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
