Today; Shepherd University is recognized for its outstanding programs in liberal arts; business administration; computer and natural sciences; and professional studies. In 1871; the school opened its doors to 42 students who were guided under the leadership of its first principal; Joseph McMurran. The West Virginia Legislature passed an act in February 1872 to establish a branch of the state normal school for teacher training at Shepherd. Teacher education remained the cornerstone of Shepherd University for more than a century. This pictorial history presents how academics; athletics; and student life transformed over the decades to educate a diverse student body in more than 60 undergraduate programs and five graduate programs.

Review
2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Very worthwhileBy janet tysonThe author is passionate about his subject--Warburg and his Atlas--but is able to assess the work in terms of its weaknesses as well as its strengths. Johnsons analysis through the lens of metaphor (and his discussions of various approaches to metaphor) are particularly useful and enriching.
