TRINITY, I thought the content of the winter 2021 JERRY HANSEN issue of the Reporter was just right, and It was so wonderful to see an article I appreciated the “Endnote.” about Jerry Hansen and his legacy at Allan Atherton ’64 Trinity [“Mr. Trinity Himself,” spring Louisville, Kentucky 2020].

  • Introduction: Placing the Self Within the Frame 1 New Storytelling
    Notes Introduction: Placing the Self within the Frame 1. This is performed by the Mamas and the Papas (see Chapter 6). 2. For various opinions on the potential of textual analysis see Childs (2006), Kovala (2008) and McKee (2003). 3. Although Gwen Haworth’s documentary is relevant to lesbian discourse, as Haworth, a male to female transsexual, expresses lesbian desire, I have not included this work in my book, as the focus is largely transsexual. Despite this, Haworth’s documentary is highly contiguous to the theoretical ideas expressed within this book, concerning self-reflexive narrative expression and sexual diversity. 4. Also there are still laws which oppress non-heterosexuals within the Western world. 5. It is important to note that this often includes production funding from Anglocentric sources, which bears its own implications of textual influence. 1 New Storytelling: Transitions from the Past 1. Howard Auster had changed his name to Howard Austen early in his career, on advice from Gore Vidal to avoid advertising his Jewish identity at a time when it was hard to obtain work as a Jew (Vidal, 1995). In Gore Vidal’s mem- oir, Howard’s name is restored to the original spelling; hence I have adopted it here. 2. I use the term ‘literature’ in the general sense as ‘serious writing’, esteemed by authority such as academia. 3. I am only discussing the media of radio in this chapter, as a precursor to later developments in television, film and new media through the World Wide Web. 4. It is important to note that in some non-Western countries conversely homo- sexuality under certain circumstances may be considered to offer positive myths.

  • In Education: Timing, Reasons, and Consequences of College Coeducation from 1835 to the Present
    October 2, 2011 Putting the ‘Co’ in Education: Timing, Reasons, and Consequences of College Coeducation from 1835 to the Present Claudia Goldin Lawrence F. Katz Department of Economics Harvard University and National Bureau of Economic Research Bernie Zipprich provided exceptional research assistance on all parts of the project and Ryan Sakoda followed in turn. Julia Fifer helped with the coding of the coeducation data set, and Janet Currie and Louis Galambos supplied some of the coeducation dates. Emily Glassberg Sands assisted with the references. Helpful comments on a draft were offered by Stanley Engerman, Julie Reuben, Emily Glassberg Sands, members of the NBER-DAE 2010 Summer Institute and the Harvard Economic History Workshop. We thank them all. We are grateful to the editor of the Journal of Human Capital and an anonymous referee for further comments. Abstract The history of coeducation in U.S. higher education is explored through an analysis of a database containing information on all institutions offering four-year undergraduate degrees that operated in 1897, 1924, 1934, or 1980, most of which still exist today. These data reveal surprises about the timing of coeducation and the reasons for its increase. Rather than being episodic and caused by financial pressures brought about by wars and recessions, the process of switching from single-sex to coeducational colleges was relatively continuous from 1835 to the 1950s before it accelerated (especially for Catholic institutions) in the 1960s and 1970s. We explore the empirical implications of a model of switching from single-sex education to coeducation in which schools that become coeducational lose donations from existing alumni.

    Don't Do Anything That Will Kill You Yet Another College Guide by Scott White Version 1.5 (c) 2012 by Scott White PRE-PUBLICATION REVIEW COPY The author requests your comments, edits, amplifications, endorsements and suggestions. Scott can be reached at: [email protected] Pre-Publication Review Copy 2 (c) 2012 Scott White This book is dedicated to Eve, Kira, Zachary and Benjamin. They are the lights of my life. Pre-Publication Review Copy 3 (c) 2012 Scott White Dear reader, This is NOT the book I really want to write. This book is called Don’t Do Anything That Can Kill You – Yet Another College Guide, I want to write Don’t Do Anything That Can Kill You – NOT Another College Guide. The world does not need another college guide; there are too many already. Please read this letter before the book because I want to tell you what this book is, why it is the way it is, what I hope to develop instead, and how you can help make that happen. The first half of this book contains essays that present my perspective on the college application process, and suggests attitudes you might adopt too. The second half contains a collection of reference materials that I hand out to students and their parents. I think all of it is useful although some of it is out-of-date. I am not sure I’d want to include this in the book I really want to write because it can be found elsewhere. It is in this edition because that way I can just give this book to my students rather than a loose collection of articles.
