Centuries of Childhood. A Social History of Family Life

Bernard, Jessie, Aries, Philippe, Baldick, Robert, Despert, J. Louise·1963·Marriage and Family Living

Abstract

What was the role of the Catholic colleges in urban social mobility? Why has Pennsylvania a mediocre record in the development of community colleges? What has been the history of Pennsylvania State University's relations with the state legislature and with the University of Pennsylvania? What has been the career of academic freedom in Pennsylvania? How did the changing economic and social life of the commonwealth shape the higher learning, and vice versa? What does the record of higher education in Pennsylvania tell about democracy in Pennsylvania? To what extent were the colleges and universities significantly influenced not by conscious administrative decision but by student action? Who taught in these institutions and what did they teach? How did the struggle between piety and intellect go in Pennsylvania? At this moment in the historiography of higher education the answers to these questions should not remain a mystery at the end of a book that runs to more than 800 pages.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
