Introduction 1 Notes Introduction 1. Woodrow Wilson, “The Significance of the Student Movement to the Nation,” in APJRM, 168. 2. Francis Patton, “The Significance of the Student Movement to the Church,” Int 25, no. 4 (January 1903): 81. 3. For example, see Lawrence R. Veysey, The Emergence of the American University (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1965); Frederick Rudolph, The American College and University (Athens, GA: The University of Georgia Press, 1962); John Brubacher and Willis Rudy, Higher Education in Transition: A History of American Colleges and Universities, 4th ed. (New York: Harper & Row, 1958); Helen Horowitz, Campus Life: Undergraduate Cultures from the End of the Eighteenth Century (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1987); and Harry E. Smith, Secularization and the University (Richmond: John Knox Press, 1968). 4. See, for example, Veysey, The Emergence of the American University; Rudolph, The American College and University. 5. See George M. Marsden, The Soul of the American University (New York: Oxford University Press, 1994); Julie Reuben, The Making of the Modern University: Intellectual Transformation and the Marginalization of Morality (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1996); Jon H. Roberts and James Turner, The Sacred and the Secular University (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2000). 6. From Marsden’s perspective, liberal Protestantism eased the transition from the seemingly innocent methodological perspective to the more insidious ideologi- cal variety that prevented religious themes from entering the university “market- place of ideas.” Julie Reuben, while not discounting Marsden’s argument, does complicate his perspective by looking more specifically at how religion was conceived in relation to the search for truth at major universities in this era. Roberts and James Turner in The Sacred and the Secular University focus more specifically on university faculty in this transition, looking at the sciences and the humanities. 7. George M. Marsden and Bradley J. Longfield, eds., The Secularization of the Academy (New York: Oxford University Press, 1992), 29. 8. John R. Mott, The Students of North America United (New York: The International Committee of Young Men’s Christian Associations, 1903), 15. 9. In works on the history of higher education, the YMCA is addressed only briefly if at all. Despite his rather engaging analysis of the “mind of the undergraduate,” historian Lawrence Veysey in The Emergence neglects the student YMCA as an important component of student life. Frederick Rudolph’s The American College 252 / notes and University helpfully places the YMCA within the context of Progressivism but offers only a single paragraph on the movement’s contributions (362). Even Helen Horowitz, whose Campus Life is devoted to undergraduates, ignores this organization. As historian P.C. Kemeny summarized, “Standard treatments...have neglected the critical role that the YMCA had in the daily lives of students and the importance that this organization played in many modern colleges’ and universities’ efforts to perpetuate their historic Protestant mission.” See P.C. Kemeny, Princeton in the Nation’s Service: Religious Ideals and Educational Practice, 1868–1928 (New York: Oxford University Press, 1998), 163–164. By far the most helpful treatment in this genre is James Burtchaell’s The Dying of the Light: The Disengagement of Colleges and Universities from their Christian Churches (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1998). While Burtchaell’s aim is to describe the waning relationship between institutions and their founding churches, he mentions the YMCA frequently as a platform for student religious expression. 10. Clarence P. Shedd, Two Centuries of Student Christian Movements (New York: Association Press, 1934); William H. Morgan, Student Religion during Fifty Years: Programs and Policies of the Intercollegiate YMCA (New York: Association Press, 1935). In his larger history of the YMCA, C. Howard Hopkins devoted two chapters to the student movement and its relationship to the parent organ- ization, deriving much of his information from a 1947 Yale dissertation by Harry M. Philpott. See C. Howard Hopkins, A History of the YMCA in North America (New York: Association Press, 1951); H.M. Philpott, “A History of the Student YMCA, 1900–1941” (Ph.D. diss., Yale University, 1947). 11.

Clarence Shedd has posited that the University of Virginia should be given credit because of its quick allegiance to the movement and more developed program.

Who was excluded and why? What were students’ experiences outside of the classroom? How did those experiences vary? In addition to gaining understanding of the history of colleges and universities, this course will give students a broader perspective on contemporary practices and problems in higher education and will help them further develop their analytic reading and writing skills.
