This 700-page volume was assembled for the 1893 Columbian Exhibition. It contains a 70-page ‘General Sketch of the History of Education in Wisconsin’, followed by short sketches of each college, normal school, and institutions for the handicapped. There is a section on ‘Special Forms and Agencies of Education’ that includes such organizations as the Wisconsin Farmers’ Institutes, City Libraries, and the Milwaukee Public Museum. There are chapters on a number of the city and county public school systems, and on Lutheran and Catholic school systems. Also there is a chapter on the Milwaukee College for Women.
