The historian Edward Krug has argued that scholars should be cau- tious when using Bureau of Education statistics. As he warned, the statistics for secondary schools before 1889–90 and for higher education before 1900 are unreliable, confusing, and contradictory. They are based on voluntary reports from schools. They are compiled from a number of confusing tables spread throughout the commissioner’s reports and likely fail to count precisely the number of students enrolled in secondary and higher education.

The historical review begins with 1874 because the decision made that year in the Kdlamazoo Case confirmed the right of communities to high schools by taxation. It ends with 1921 because two pisurrtt tal events occurred in that year: first, the organization of the American Association of Junior Colleges, and second, the establishtent of the first unitari.two..year junior college, namely, ,Modesto Junior College in Modesto, California. It reviews the historical development of secondary schools, liberal arts colleges, professional schools, universities, and junior colleges in that time period. The author/concludes that the junior college of today is an historical accident. A bibliography is appended.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • BROADSIDES the Programs and Catalogues of Brown
    BROADSIDES The programs and catalogues of Brown University are representative of the work of a number of Rhode Island printers, including H.H. Brown (Hugh Hale Brown), Brown and Wilson (Hugh Hale Brown, William H. WIlson), John Carter, Carter and Wilkinson (John Carter, William Wilkinson), Dunham and Hawkins (William H. Dunham, David Hawkins, Jr.), Barnum Field, Field and Maxcy (Barnum Field, Eaton W. Maxcy), Gilbert and Dean ==?== Goddard and Knowles (William G. Goddard, James D.

Parmenter); also the Microcosism Office and the American (Rhode Island American?) Office. BR-1F: CATALOGUS Latin catalogue of graduates of the College. The first Catalogus is mentioned in Ezra Stiles' diary. Lists baccalaureate and honorary graduates by year. In later editions, graduates are listed under year alphabetically in two groups, graduates in course and honorary graduates. For the year 1772 only graduates in course appear. At the time of publication of the Historical Catalogue of Brown University, 1764-1894, no copy was known. The copy now in the Archives has been annotated in ink, changing the A.B. after names of 1769 graduates to A.M. Forenames are in Latin form, and in later editions, names of clergy men are in italics, and names of deceased are starred, with a summary at the end. Printed triennially. Second edition in 1775. Evans 16049 and 17347 describe editions of 1778 and 1781, and Alden 756 concludes that these descriptions were by conjecture from the 1775 edition on the assumption that a catalogue was issued every three years, and that no such catalogues were actually printed in those years.

Ritsumeikan University, Japan, e-mail: [email protected] A TRIO THAT MUST GO: CHANGING US-QING RELATIONS FROM 1868 TO 1882 Abstract. The Burlingame Treaty of 1868 opened new perspectives in diplomatic action for both the U.S. and the Qing Empire; however, 14 years later in 1882 The Chinese Exclusion Act prohibited Chinese laborers from entering the United States. Those two documents reveal, it seems, completely dif- ferent political attitudes toward the Qing Empire on the part of the United States. The focus of this article is to understand the internal factors that lead the United States to successively adopt these two opposing policies. Constant changes in the domestic political and economic situation of the United States, I argue, have led to the adjustment of foreign policy with the Qing Empire. One caricature from the American satire cartoon magazine PUCK is used to illustrate important aspects of the lesser known history of the US-Qing relations from the 1860s to the 1880s. Key words: US-Qing Relations, Burlingame Treaty, Chinese Exclusion Act, Chinese Labor, GOP, PUCK, Taiping Rebellion, American society, late Qing Empire(1860-1880), “A Trio that Must Go”. А.

  • 5 Beyond Service the Development of Universities As Independent Agents
    5 Beyond Service The Development of Universities as Independent Agents In addition to working directly with government as a partner, univer- sities began to work as its agent, helping establish national standards and define policy in a variety of arenas. The position of universities as agents stemmed in many ways from the loosely coupled regulation of education; from local elementary schools to advanced graduate and professional programs, universities helped define and nationalize the American educational system. This influence had implications far beyond educational policy itself, touching on most every domain into which the formative state would venture. Universities’ service as independent agent of the national state evolved from a variety of interconnected forces. Supported by institu- tional coordination and entrepreneurship, America’s schools worked closely with one another and developed an informal national system of standardization. Though such efforts were not often undertaken in direct concert with federal, state, or local governments, they were often undertaken with these governments’ informal support and occasional input. University leaders would share their plans and expectations with government officials, who would reciprocate with advice and interest as well as their implicit sanction. The federal Bureau of Educa- tion did not develop or enforce standards for secondary schools. How- ever, its representatives worked with universities as they developed and enforced such standards. Establishing Agency: Universities and Standards for Secondary Education With the rise of compulsory elementary and secondary education, the expansion of opportunities in higher education, and the growth of 109 110 Ivory Towers and Nationalist Minds graduate and professional education came a desire for uniform stan- dards and expectations.

GOD AND SLAVERY IN AMERICA: FRANCIS WAYLAND AND THE EVANGELICAL CONSCIENCE by MATTHEW S. HILL Under the Direction of Dr. Wendy H. Venet ABSTRACT The work examines the antislavery writings of Francis Wayland (1796-1865). Wayland pastored churches in Boston and Providence, but he left his indelible mark as the fourth and twenty-eight year president of Brown University (1827-1855). The author of numerous works on moral science, economics, philosophy, education, and the Baptist denomination, his administration marked a transitional stage in the emergence of American colleges from a classically oriented curriculum to an educational philosophy based on science and modern languages. Wayland left an enduring legacy at Brown, but it was his antislavery writings that brought him the most notoriety and controversy. Developed throughout his writings, rather than systematically in a major work, his antislavery views were shaped and tested in the political and intellectual climate of the antebellum world in which he lived.

  • Book Reviews 273 James Burrill Angell: an American Influence
    Book Reviews 273 James Burrill Angell: An American Influence. By Shirley W. Smith. (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1954, pp. xvi, 380. Illustrations and index. $7.50) James Burrill Angell was the president of the University of Michigan from 1871 to 1909. During that period he not only led this great state university in its remarkable growth and achievements, but also played a leading role in furthering the cause of education as a whole in the state of Michigan and participated in important diplomatic missions for the Department of State. For these reasons he can be called “an American influence.” President Angell was evidently a person of great personal charm, for the Michigan alumni who had come into contact with him as students greatly venerated him, and Shirley Wheeler Smith, his biographer-an alumnus who served as teacher of English, secretary and chief financial officer, and general secretary of the Alumni Associafion during his in- cumbency-has helped preserve this veneration. Unlike most presidents of large universities today, Presi- dent Angell was not solely an administrator. He gave in- struction in international law and the history of American treaties, personally interviewed all the students who entered the Department of Literature, Science, and the Arts, main- tained cordial relations with the faculty, and addressed the students and alumni on many occasions. It is not surprising that his biographer, who recalls with pride the welcome which he received from the president at his matriculation, should find it difficult to see mistakes in the man. A personal friend of John W. Foster, John Hay-one of his former students at Brown University-and other import- ant political figures of his day, President Angell devoted much time and thought to political, particularly diplomatic, matters.

    INDIANA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY Volume XLVI DECEMBER,1950 Number 4 Religious Influences in the Development of State Colleges and Universities Earle D. ROSS* The search for origins of American institutions, Euro- pean and colonial, has provided endless, as well as generally inconclusive, historical controversies. The pastime has been especially dear to antiquarian partisans of racial, regional, and sectarian interests.
