Best Book Award, 2000, Sociology of Culture Section of the American Sociological Association This book studies Oxford University's transformation--and the political hazards for academics that ensued--when, after World War II, it changed from a private liberal-arts club with aristocratic pretensions into a state university heavily committed to the natural sciences, and with a middle-class consituency and a meritocratic ethos.
