Walker (1840 - 1897) was an American economist, statistician, journalist, educator, academic administrator, and military officer in the Union Army. Walker was born into a prominent Boston family, the son of the economist and politician Amasa Walker. He graduated from Amherst College at the age of 20, received a commission to join the 15th Massachusetts Regiment of Volunteers and quickly rose through the ranks as an assistant adjutant general. After his release, he was promoted to the rank of brevet brigadier general at the age of 24. Walker accepted the presidency of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1881, a position he held for fifteen years until his death. During his tenure, he placed the institution on more stable financial footing by aggressively fund-raising and securing grants from the Massachusetts government and implemented many curricular reforms, oversaw the launch of new academic programs, and expanded the size of the Boston campus, faculty, and student enrollments. MIT's Walker Memorial Hall, a former students' clubhouse and one of the original buildings on the Charles River campus, was dedicated to him in 1916.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44999388463219,"sku":"9781453814444","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_0096d765-5947-4ad4-b5a5-8835fb2f28f0.jpg?v=1779049684","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-indian-question-1874-an-early-historical-account-of-native-americans-the-abuses-conflicts-treaties-and-government-legislation-9781453814444","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
