The ILR School at Fifty: Voices of the Faculty, Alumni and Friends
Browse by
A collection of reflections on the first fifty years of the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University. Compiled by Robert B. McKersie, J. Gormly Miller, Robert L. Aronson, and Robert R. Julian. Edited by Elaine Gruenfeld Goldberg.
It was the hope of the compilers that the reflections contained in this book would both kindle memories of the school and stimulate interest on the part of future generations of "ILRies" who have not yet shared in its special history.
Dedicated to the Memory of J. Gormly Miller, 1914-1995.
