Ethan Schrum ’99 is the author of The Instrumental University: Education in Service of the National Agenda after World War II, published by Cornell University Press in June. The Instrumental University shows how elite research universities adopted a new technocratic mission of solving social problems and promoting economic growth in the emerging knowledge economy. In so doing, these institutions took on more capitalistic and managerial tendencies and marginalized some of their founding ideals. A chemistry major and physics minor at IWU, Ethan started to write about higher education as editor-in-chief of The Argus. A class with Paul Bushnell, professor emeritus of history, helped inspire Ethan to become a historian. Ethan is an assistant professor of history at Azusa Pacific University near Los Angeles.

Thank-A-Giver Day (TAG Day) is on Monday, February 11. This day provides the IWU campus community with the opportunity to thank the donors who support Illinois Wesleyan. IWU celebrates each year in mid-February because it marks the symbolic point during the academic year – about 70% of the way through – when tuition dollars run out and support from alumni and friends, our endowment, and external grants kicks in for the remainder of the year.
Thank you to all donors who help make the IWU experience possible!
