Its story is also the story of New York, especially the Bronx, and\u003cbr\u003eFordham's commitment to the city during its rise, fall, and rebirth. It's a story of Jesuits, soldiers, alumni who fought in World Wars, chaplains, teachers, and administrators who made bold moves and big mistakes, of\u003cbr\u003epresidents who thought small and those who had vision. And of the first women, students and faculty, who helped bring Fordham into the 20th century. Finally it's the story of an institution's attempt to keep its Jesuit\u003cbr\u003eand Catholic identity as it strives for leadership in a competitive world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCombining authoritative history and fascinating anecdotes, Schroth offers an engaging account of Fordham's one hundred thirrty-seven years--here, updated, revised, and expanded to cover the new presidency of Joseph M.
