ERRS PRICE MF-$0.76 HC-$3.32 Plus Postage DESCRIPTORS Change Agents; *Colleges; *Educational History; *Junior Colleges; Post Secondary Education; Professional Education; *Secondary-Schools; *Universities ABSTRACT In an/effort to elucidate the forces behind the emergence of the Ametican junior college, this document reviews the evolution of the structure of American education from 1874 to 1921. 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.

  • View of the Law Relating to the Confisca- Tion of the Estates of Loyalists, and Furnishes Through Copies of the Papers in the Proceedings an Object Lesson for Lawyers
    1905.] R&port of the Council. 11 REPORT OF THE COUNCIL. THE Council are glad to report that with one exception our ranks are unbroken by death. By vote of the Council the Treasurer, in consultation with the President, has been authorized to procure book- plates (with engraved portraits) of Isaiah Thomas, our founder and first president, and of our fifth president, the late Stephen Salisbury, and this is being done. Mr. Nathaniel Paine has completed the Contents of the Society's Proceedings 1880-1903, which was recently an- nounced, and it is in print ready for distribution. This has involved much labor and will be highly appreciated by all interested in that period. Our associate Mr. Andrew McFarland Davis has presented to the Society about three hundred and fifty copies of his book, "The Confiscation of John Chandler's Estate," and about the same number of his work, "Tracts Relating to the Currency, 1681-1720." The former of these publi- cations contains a review of the law relating to the confisca- tion of the estates of loyalists, and furnishes through copies of the papers in the Proceedings an object lesson for lawyers. The latter contains reprints of the pamphlet literature of the period on the Currency question. There is room enough on the shelves of the libraries of the country for all of these books, although it may take several years for them to find their ultimate destination. Dr. G. Stanley Hall has prepared a memoir of the late Prof. H. B. Adams, and Dr. Jameson has prepared memoirs of the late Sir John G.

  • 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. Knowles), Goddard and Mann (William G. Goddard, William M. Mann), J.A. and R.A. Reid (James Allen Reid), Smith and Parmenter (SAmuel J. Smith, Jonathan C. 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.

  • In Resistance to a Capitalist Past: Emerging Practices of Critical Librarianship Lua Gregory and Shana Higgins
    In Resistance to a Capitalist Past: Emerging Practices of Critical Librarianship Lua Gregory and Shana Higgins Introduction In previous work, we’ve explored capitalism and neoliberal ideology in relation to oppression and inequalities, how consciousness raising as defned by Paulo Freire and Ira Shor can lead to informed action, and how the intersections of critical pedagogy and core values such as social responsibility, diversity, and the public good, can contextualize social justice work within the practice of librarianship.1 In this chapter, we revisit capitalism, by examining its inextricable historical connections to the proliferation of libraries and the growth of librarianship as a profession in the United States in the late nineteenth century. We fnd that the rise of capitalism and the “efciency movement” during the Progressive Era (1890–1920) led to a replicating of libraries in the image and model of corporations, and the creation of an educational system that favored practicality and connections to the market, within which we locate historical tensions between theory and practice. Tis chapter is neither historiography nor discourse analysis, but perhaps borrows from both. Our goal is to illuminate the economic and ideological contexts from which the library profession in the United States fourished, and has continued to be implicated. Despite the close alignment of American li- brarianship with a hegemonic economic ideology, there have been critical and 1 Lua Gregory and Shana Higgins, Information Literacy and Social Justice (Sacramento, CA: Library Juice Press, 2013).

  • History of Urban Main Library Service
    History of Urban Main Library Service JACOB S. EPSTEIN THEMOST IMPORTANT early date for urban public libraries would certainly be 1854, the year the Boston Public Library opened its doors. But as Jesse Shera has noted: “The opening, on March 20,1854, of the reading room of the Boston Public Library. ..was not a signal that a new agency had suddenly been born into American urban life. Behind the act were more than two centuries of experimentation, uncertainty, and change.”l Before the advent of public libraries there were numerous social li- braries, mercantile libraries and other efforts to have a community store of books which could be borrowed or consulted. A common prin- ciple evident in each of them was the belief that the printed word was important and should be made available to the ordinary citizen who could not own all the literature which was of value. Although it was a subscription library, rather than a public library as we think of it today, Benjamin Franklin’s Library Company of Phila- delphia, organized in 1731, was the first library in America to circulate books and the first to pay a librarian for his services. In his Autobiogra- phy, Franklin declared, “These libraries have improved the general conversation of the Americans, made the common tradesmen and farm- ers as intelligent as most gentlemen from other countries, and perhaps have contributed in some degree to the stand so generally made throughout the colonies in defense of their privileges.”2 Here is that recurrent theme of self-improvement that runs throughout the Ameri- can public library movement.

The Literature of American Library History, 2003–2005 Abstract A number of years have elapsed since publication of the last essay of this sort, so this one will cover three years of historical writings on American librarianship, 2003–5, instead of the usual two. We will have to see whether this new method becomes the norm or will ultimately be considered an aberration from the traditional approach. I do know that several years ago Donald G. Davis, Jr., and Michael Harris covered three years (1971–73) in their essay, and we all survived the experience. In preparing this essay I discovered that when another year of coverage is added the volume of writings to cover also grows impressively. A conservative estimate places the number of books and articles published in the years under review at more than two hundred items.

  • 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.

He graduated from Yale University in 1873, and also received the degrees A.M. in 1876 and Ph.D. in 1882 from that institution. He began a career in journalism in 1874 in the editorial department of the Independent , a weekly Congregational journal with a strong anti- slavery bias that had been founded by his father. The following year he became its foreign correspondent, and from 1896 to 1912 its publisher and proprietor. After retiring from journalism, Bowen involved himself with historical research, genealogy, and world travel. His interests ranged from the George Washington Centennial Celebration (1889), to the establishment of the American Historical Association, the Celebration of the 400 th Anniversary of the Discovery of America, the 1892 World’s Fair, the American Antiquarian Society, the Republican Party, the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, and the Manhattan Congregational Church.
