"In this highly readable volume, Carroll Engelhardt . . . has written a celebratory official centennial history of his own institution and encapsulated that history in a critical explanatory context that will satisfy historians who want to learn more about the general development of higher education in the United States. . . . Most importantly, the author . . . puts his emphasis where it belongs--on the students and the teachers and the kind of community they established over the decades."

Engelhardt's book . . . is a useful contribution to scholarship on rural life and childhood. It provides an accessible account of twentieth century rural history, and the memoir offers a . . . genuineness lacking in less personal studies."

Concordia Fair is a . . . professionally researched even-handed, but by no means indifferent history. . . . This is . . . a thoughtful and informed presentation of Concordia's work in the midst of demographic, economic, and social change across all of higher education."
