Nowhere does Franklin feel more contemporary, more revolutionary, and more alive than at the University of Pennsylvania. His startling vision of a secular, nonsectarian Academy that would foster an “Inclination join’d with an Ability to serve Mankind, one’s Country, Friends and Family” has never ceased to challenge Penn to redefine the scope and mission of the modern American university. When pursued vigorously and simultaneously, the two missions – developing the inclination to do good and the ability to do well – merge to help form a more perfect university that educates more capable citizens for our democracy. Penn has embodied and advanced Franklin’s revolutionary vision for 279 years. Throughout its history, Penn has extended the frontiers of higher learning and research to produce graduates and scholars whose work has enriched the nation and all of humanity. The modern liberal arts curriculum as we know it can trace its roots to Franklin’s innovation to have Penn students study international commerce and foreign languages.

  • Journal of Agricultural Economics Research Was Initiated by O.V
    A Complete Bibliography: 1949-1994 Economic Research Service U.S. Department of Agriculture Author: Gene Wunderlich Preface The Journal of Agricultural Economics Research was initiated by O.V. Wells in 1949 as “a medium for the publication of technical articles.” In more than four decades of articles and reviews can be seen the change and progress in research by USDA social scientists. Our purpose here is to provide an easily accessible archive of that change and progress. Two previous bibliographies were prepared and published in 1979 and 1988. This version of the bibliography contains a complete listing of all articles and reviews published in JAER during the entire life of the Journal, 1949-94. Each entry has been placed in chronological order as it appears in Journal issues. Following each volume and issue number, the entries are listed under articles and reviews. The “Reviews” section includes comments, research reports, and reviews. Each entry carries a unique number. Following the listing of entries is an index of all authors and reviewers, each containing their entry numbers. The “Author” index reflects only the reviewers, not authors of the books reviewed. The introduction provides a brief history of this unique professional journal and, at its end, lists the Journal editors and the dates of their service. This bibliography has been designed for electronic access. It can be accesed online at www.ers.usda.gov/publications/jaer. Access also can be obtained through AgEcon Search at http://agecon.lib.umn.edu/index.html. Collections of the printed JAER can be found at the National Agricultural Library, McGrath Library at the University of Minnesota, Mann Library at Cornell University, and most other Land Grant Universities.

  • Creating Opportunities for Students Through Research, Travel, Mentoring, and More from the President
    Volume 15 | Number 1 Summer 2017 Georgian Court University Magazine President’s Annual Report & Honor Roll of Donors 2016–2017 Creating opportunities for students through research, travel, mentoring, and more From the President Dear Alumni and Friends, We recently celebrated the achievements of nearly 600 graduates in the Class of 2017, and the promise their future holds. It was an exceptionally proud moment. More than 48 percent of the graduates receiving bachelor’s degrees were the first in their families to complete college and a significant number—51 percent—earned their degree despite economic disadvantages. Yet, their success does not surprise us. We have a strong tradition of attracting talented students and offering them high-impact opportunities in the classroom, on campus, and in the workforce—opportunities that lead to personal and professional growth. This edition of GCU Magazine highlights a number of those opportunities. For some students, it means conducting research with a favorite professor. Others are seeing the world for the first time, thanks to faculty-led experiences in Ireland, Costa Rica, and other countries (p. 8). Still others benefit from time spent with high-profile speakers (p. 20), alumni entrepreneurs (p. 16), or successful graduates (p. 31). Creating opportunities, however, is not done in a vacuum. It requires willing partners, like you. In the President’s Annual Report & Honor Roll of Donors, we share the extraordinary impact of your generosity. For example, more than 54 percent of all donations to GCU support scholarships, and last year, donations helped GCU award nearly $1 million to students. Your support makes a critical difference in the lives of our students and the lives they will touch in their careers and in their communities.

    Volume 13 | Winter 2015–2016 Georgian Court University Magazine President’s Annual Report & Honor Roll of Donors 2014–2015 Th e New Guy on Campus Meet President Marbach From the President Dear Alumni and Friends, Happy New Year! I am excited about the promise of what 2016 has in store for Georgian Court University, and if recent months are an indication of what is ahead, hold on tight! Together, we have much to celebrate and more work to do. Many of you have warmly welcomed me and my family to GCU, and it has been great getting to hear your suggestions for making Georgian Court the Catholic university of New Jersey. Thank you for embracing me at the BlueClaws stadium in August, where Agnes Moore Higgins ’39 and student-athletes joined me to throw a first pitch, and at activities like Move-In Day, Homecoming and Family Day (read more on page 17), my Inaugural Week, and the NJEA Convention in Atlantic City. Your phone calls, e-mails, letters, and cards relay a growing sense of enthusiasm and your rock-solid pride in GCU, especially as accolades rolled in recently from MONEY magazine, The Economist, Washington Monthly, and Colleges of Distinction (read more on pages 5–7). I am counting on your continued support as we look for innovative ways to embrace the GCU mission and build on the legacy entrusted to us by the Sisters of Mercy. In early 2015 when I interviewed for the presidency, I was repeatedly asked, “Why do you want to be president of GCU?” Today, my answer is the same: GCU is a campus of opportunity.

  • A Portrait of the Economics of Education, 1960–1997 Pedro Nuno Teixeira
    A Portrait of the Economics of Education, 1960–1997 Pedro Nuno Teixeira The process of exponential growth has reached the stage where any history of our profession must, in part, be statistical. —Michael Lovell, “The Production of Economic Literature—An Interpretation” The economics of education is genuinely economics. —Mary Bowman, “The Human Investment Revolution in Economic Thought” The emergence of the economics of education as an autonomous field of study is usually associated with Theodore Schultz’s presidential address to the annual meeting of the American Economic Association (AEA) in 1960.1 In his address, reinforced later by other publications (such as The Correspondence may be addressed to Pedro Teixeira, Faculdade de Economia do Porto, Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, 4200 Porto, Portugal; e-mail: [email protected]. An earlier version of this work was presented at the European Conference on the History of Economics that took place in Antwerp in April 1998. I would like to express my gratitude to the participants at the 1999 HOPE conference for providing stimulating discussions. A special mention is due to Jeff Biddle, Roger Backhouse, and Robert Goldfarb, whose help enormously improved, in form and in substance, my work. I am also very grateful to my colleagues António Almodovar, Maria de Fátima Brandão, and Rui Pedro Esteves, who provided me with so many valuable suggestions and comments, besides their priceless patience and support. I also thank Professor Mark Blaug for his kind comments. Notwithstanding all this help, the remaining errors and omissions are my responsibility. I would like to acknowledge the financial support of the Luso-American Foundation for Development and the Faculty of Economics at the University of Porto.
