BRIDGES TO THE WORLD offers a fascinating account of the extraordinary life and times of Henry Noble MacCracken. Dr. MacCracken served as president of Vassar College for thirty-one years, beginning in 1915, and his influence far exceeded the confines of the campus. He fostered a host of educational ideas that impacted the larger educational world. When he died in 1970, The New York Times noted his pioneering efforts in "the fight to abolish academic formalism." MacCracken radically changed the "town-gown relations" between Vassar and the college's Hudson Valley neighbors, prompting Franklin Roosevelt to say, "Until MacCracken came to the college, Vasssar might just as well have been a thousand miles away."

Vassar College was founded in 1861, two miles from the banks of the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie by Matthew Vassar, a self-made businessman. The college grew to confirm its founder's precedent-breaking vision that women would profit from intellectual opportunities in the liberal arts similar to those that Ivy League institutions had long offered the other gender. The college has grown and changed with the times, first countering Victorian prejudices that women were not suited for serious study, always leading the way as opportunities to broaden the spectrum of women's education developed. In the tumultuous decade of the 1960s, Vassar College again broke precedent, turning itself from a single-sex institution into one in which true coeducation exists. After 139 years, Vassar is poised for the changes under way and yet to come in the twenty-first century.
