Nicholas Miraculous: The Amazing Career of the Redoubtable Dr. Nicholas Murray B

Description: Nicholas Miraculous by Michael Rosenthal, Patricia O'Toole Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An engrossing biography of a major American figure who skirmished with many of the twentieth-centurys leading philanthropists, statesmen, and educators. Publisher Description To those who loved him, like Teddy Roosevelt, he was "Nicholas Miraculous," the fabled educator who had a hand in everything; to those who did not, like Upton Sinclair, he was "the intellectual leader of the American plutocracy," a champion of "false and cruel ideals." Ezra Pound branded him "one of the more loathsome figures" of the age. Whether celebrated or despised, Nicholas Murray Butler (1862–1947) was undeniably an irresistible force who helped shape American history. With wit and irony, Michael Rosenthal traces Butlers rise to prominence as president of Columbia University, which he presided over for forty-four years and developed into one of the worlds most distinguished institutions of research and teaching. Butler also won the Nobel Peace Prize and headed both the Carnegie Endowment and the American Academy of Arts and Letters, among innumerable other organizations. In 1920, he sought the Republican nomination for president, managing to garner more votes on the first ballot than the eventual winner, Warren Harding. Rosenthals richly detailed, elegantly crafted narrative captures the mania and genius that propelled Butler to these extraordinary achievements and more. Thick with social, cultural, and political history, Nicholas Miraculous recreates Butlers prodigious career and the dynamic age that nourished him. Author Biography Michael Rosenthal was associate dean of Columbia College for seventeen years, later becoming, as a member of the English Department, the first holder of the Roberta and William Campbell Professorship of the Humanities at Columbia University. His books include Virginia Woolf and The Character Factory: Baden-Powells Boy Scouts and the Imperatives of Empire.
